    Cathe's Greatest Hits?

    I love balance challenges! How about a collection of those exercises that emphasize balance and stability? Here's what I came up with. Too long for one hit dvd but I couldn't pare it down to a total body, though it could be! Or someday just film a whole new workout dvd called Balance Max! ;)...

    Cathe's Greatest Hits?

    I did ME last week, first time in a while and forgot how much I loved it. Inspired this Cathe's Total Body ME Mashup. Again, I didn't time this out, but like my previous post I love these sections from these vids: Cathe’s Total Body ME Mashup LBB Warm up ME Section #3 (Legs & Shoulders)...

    New DVDs-new material or copulation?

    OMG, mhunt, this was truly funny, in a good way. It gave me a much needed laugh. Don't feel bad. I once posted a suggestion for new workouts called loaded and unloaded. I meant workouts using weights and some not, but it sure didn't sound that way. When I realized how it sounded, it was too late...

    Convince me!

    I want to pre-order the new dvd's tomorrow. I had no problem jumping from vcr to dvd. I like the dvd's, unfortunately, I'm not as convinced that I'd use the downloads as much. I have an ipod but...my workout area uses an older tv so I'm not sure I could use it there. Time-wise, I'm having...

    Butts and Guts...feedback please

    Some thoughts I hope are helpful: Love the variety of exercises, the focus on glutes in the leg work, and the fun pace. I mostly do this one as filmed when I have the time. I love premixes but haven't done them on this dvd yet (I usually do premixes that are under 45mins). When my two...

    M2 Question

    Thanks for the response. Just wanted to quickly follow up for what it's worth. I'm finally back to doing STS after a long break due to persistent colds most of December. I'm not worrying about doing STS the way it was designed this time around. That's nearly impossible for me at this point due...

    M2 Question

    Has anyone done the biceps exercises first then back when doing M2 Back & Biceps? I posted the question below on Ask Cathe but received no answer. I'm just getting over back to back head colds that have sidelined me much longer than I wanted and looking to jump into M2 (and Shock Cardio!) as...

    Quick STS Question

    Hi Cathe - I'm doing STS for the second time (but approaching it a little differently...that's a whole other conversation that has no bearing on this question!). I did Meso2 Wk1 Back and Biceps yesterday and ran into the fatiguing forearm issue while doing the barbell rows. While I completed...

    5oth anniversay ideas

    My parents celebrated their 50th in January '08 and are also in their early 70's. My brother, sister and I all live out of town, away from each other and our parents and none of us could fly in to visit them (due to kids, jobs, etc.) and celebrate in person. But we set them up with dinner at...

    Your opinions on unplanned STS break...

    Thanks for the encouraging posts...and Boomer, wow! I agree with the others that you are an inspiration and a true athlete. And you are so right about treating STS as our own workouts, our own program with Cathe's guidance, of course. I managed to to do back and biceps Thurs and Legs Fri. I...

    Your opinions on unplanned STS break...

    I'm in Meso 2 Week 3...or what should be. I came down with a cold Friday. It's wiped me out pretty much. I have to save what energy I have for my 2 kids and for teaching two fitness classes this coming up weekend. I managed to do chest on Monday so my husband could spot me but I didn't have...

    Does anybody like Cathe's weighted gloves?

    I bought mine at Dunham's and I like them. Mine fit fine. When I'm doing weight work, I actually wear my regular weight lifting gloves underneath them and this does make them a bit tighter. Also, I've used Cathe's while doing kickbox and love the additional weight. Getting the weight in/out is a...

    Foods you wish you'd never tried

    Peanut Butter. Chocolate. Ghiradelli and Malley's. Nutella (when it's in the house - we rarely buy it). Peanut Butter and chocolate. Peanut Butter and my DH's jam (he makes wonderful jam from fruit we pick every summer). Peanut Butter and honey. Peanut Butter. Peanut Butter. Sigh...

    How do you use Mix and Match?

    It will play the selection, then return you back to the Mix & Match menu for you to make another selection. When I use this, it's usually just to do abs/core. For example, I'll do HST, the entire workout including the stretch, then disk skip to HSC and do just the ab work using the M&M menu. I...

    Plates and my legs

    My DH purchased Super Sliders at Lowes for $10 and they work great. I actually just used them today for the first time. They are for moving furniture. I tried using a paper plate, a Rubbermaid lid, nothing worked but these furniture movers work great. They have some of that grey spongy stuff...

    how long to do all 1rm?

    Give yourself several days. I was glad to read here on the forums someone did them in two days, one hour each day. But it's not the case with me. Even after organizing the exercises in a way I thought I could tackle them efficiently, it's taking me longer. And after the first day of testing...

    Muscle Endurance and Power Hour

    I prefer ME over PH. It's more fun and more challenging. Plus, you get BC on that DVD, which I like, too. Also love MM! Diana
