My left knee makes a terrible, ratcheting sound when climbing steps. I don't notice it during walking, and it doesn't cause me pain, but I can hardly stand the sound of it when I go up steps. I just wondered if it is a sign of arthritis, or if I should get it checked out. My mother seems to...

I just replaced my living room carpet with laminate flooring - it is great for aerobics, except now my step slides gradually throughout the workout. It is especially bad when doing lunges onto the step. Has anyone else had this problem, and what might you recommend - pads on the bottom of the...

What if we pre-ordered our Shock Cardio back in March? Are we still eligible for the free downloads? TIA

While I don't have any pain, yesterday while doing squats & lunges my right knee would "click" every time I did the upward movement. My alignment was fine (knees not over my toes), the same I've always done them. I'm suspecting maybe signs of arthritis, but maybe I'm wrong. I wonder if anyone...

Hi, I am trying to set up my business as a personal trainer, and am wondering what is the best way to go - LLC or sole proprietorship? I will mainly be training in client's homes and have access to our local community center. Also, do you need a tax ID and charge sales tax? Any help is...

I've been considering either certification through ACE or AFAA to become a personal trainer. I just found out that AFAA will be doing a workshop just 15 miles from my home next month (7 weeks from yesterday). If I order the book now, will that be enough time to prepare? It would definitely...

Yes, I need to dog-proof my house. Either that, or teach them to work out with Cathe, too :7 Can I get a replacement case for the power hour DVD? Or even just the paper insert? Fortunately, they did not ruin the DVD. BTW, one of my cats loves to paw at the screen and tries to get Cathe...

Hi, Can stability balls be patched, say like a bicycle tire? My dogs decided to play with mine, and put a tiny hole in it. Any ideas or experience with something like this? TIA

Hi, I have been an electrical engineer for over 20 years and let's just face it - I'm tired of it. I've had several people tell me I would be great as a personal trainer. I've lost over 45 pounds, exercise regularly and eat a clean diet. I've been told I am an inspiration to others to get...

Hi Cathe, Thanks for the update on the STS presale + scheduling. Now that we know the 3 x's per week committment, how much time is spent during each session? TIA,

Well, the good news is I ran my very first 5K! My sister was the encouragement, running a half-marathon last year at age 50. I'm 8 years younger than her, so started running occasionally over the past year. My goal was to simply finish the thing and run the whole time. I'm slow: 10-minute...

I participated in a research study at the local university tonight for motor skills and physical fitness. Talk about a workout! I did great on the sit-ups and push-ups (thanks to Cathe's videos!!) but the "pacer" (wind sprints) kicked my butt :( They also measured long jump, kicking...

Well, I haven't hardly eaten for 2 days, and am practically sleeping around the clock. I'm trying to drink a little gatorade, but am so dog-gone tired. Anyone have any good advice for kicking the stomach flu, besides just rest? TIA,

In several of your videos, you have us place our heels or toes on a 3-pound dumbbell. What is the height? Is it comparable to a 2 x 4? (that's what I have been using instead) TIA, K2Mills

I'll spare all the details, but it hit me Monday night - I spent all day in bed yesterday and again this morning. I finally forced myself to eat a little peanut butter toast, but nothing sounds good. I've been trying to drink gatorade as well, but have only gotten down one bottle. This is...

OK, I have a serious problem - now that I've lost weight, I cannot find any pants that fit me! My waist is too small in proportion to my hips. Even the low rise jeans gap in the back. And I really don't want to wear elastic waist stuff anymore - I've been hiding under long tops for too long...

Hi! I'm just so excited I wanted to share - - - I was able to do Body Max today! Six months ago, I was so fatigued from uterine fibroids I couldn't even walk on my treadmill. I've been slowly rebuilding my stamina since having a TAH in January, starting out with Cathe's easier videos and...

Hi, I am 10 days post-op from a TAH, and feeling pretty good. I have been walking on my treadmill since I got home from the hospital. I am up to 4-6 times a day for about 10-12 minutes at a stretch, slowly increasing my pace. My restrictions are no lifting over 5-10 pounds and pelvic...

Hi! Just wondering how many of us Cathe fans are out there - How many copies of the new DVD's were produced? Inquiring minds want to know:+ Kathy
