    Workout Room Decoration --- What would you recommend 4 Plyo ;-)

    About 7 or 8 years ago we made my daughter's bedroom into a workout room. I purchased the PaviGym flooring from Power Systems. I love it!! You might want to check it out.

    nutrition and workout

    I usually get up at about 5:30 or 5:45 a.m. and work out around 6:15. I don't like to workout on an empty stomach, so prior to my workout I have one piece of light whole wheat toast (about 40 calories) and that works perfectly for me. It's just enough to coat my stomach so I'm not working out...

    Youngest and oldest Cathletes!

    I will be turning 47 in about 9 days (I believe I will be the same age as Cathe!). Although no where near her caliber of fitness (LOL!). I can't remember when I first learned about Cathe (the late '80s, early '90s), but I was looking for new step workouts because I had outgrown the Jane Fonda...

    Should I take a break from exercising?

    I used to have that problem quite often when I would do too much on one day (and of course I didn't want to take a day off the next!). I have found that if I make a point to stretch good on the day I work out hard, it REALLY helps with me not feeling so tired and drained the next day. I use...

    Effective Pimple Treatment

    This is something that we have been battling for over 5 years with my 18-year-old daughter. She has had severe acne since around 14 years old. We've tried every OTC item (nothing was effective). We tried Proactive (nothing). We went to the dermatologist several times over the past few years...

    Get In Shape For Your Wedding

    I LOVE this workout and have it on VHS (one of several of the first Cathe workouts I purchased!!). I would love it if she would put it on DVD. Hopefully she will do this and put it on DVD like she did all of her other classics!!

    Dumbbells vs. Barbell

    I would like to know the answer to this question! I have a barbell, but don't like to use it (bothers my back/shoulders, plus I can't go very heavy because I can't hoist the barbell up -- I don't have a BB rack). I'm never sure what dumbbells to use which are comparable to the barbell. I'm...

    online preview of new videos?

    I definitely "ditto" what Debbie said about the presale. I ordered mine immediately (which I ALWAYS do!!). I always want all of Cathe's DVDs every time she comes out with a new series and thanks to the presales, I'm able to get them all at the same time! Julie

    Why 2000 cals/day?

    I'm 46 years old and work out 5 to 6 times a week (mostly Cathe of course -- so you know I'm working out hard!). I vigorously watch my diet and eat really well about 95% of the time each week (I have my cheat days, but rarely). I have to stay under 1,500 calories a day or I start to gain...

    New Dvds

    I think I saw something the other day (don't quote me -- I might be wrong!), but tomorrow (Friday 04/29), she is supposed to give everyone details on the new workouts (what they are, what kind, etc, etc.). I think if you follow her on Facebook, you can pre-order the workouts on Saturday 04/30...

    Need advice for a wedding gift

    I agree with Stephanie's suggestion. Cookbooks were my most favorite gift when I got married (almost 24 years ago!). My oldest daughter will be getting married really soon and I plan on putting together a cookbook with all of her favorite recipes (plus ones that I know are tried and true)...

    I fondly remember Chris Clarke

    Great to see you on here again Jerry! I, too, met Chris at one of the RTs, but the first time was in 2007 (I also was at the 2008 one as well). He was such a great guy -- he will definitely be missed!

    Menopause - Help!

    I'm 46 and have been experiencing menopause symptoms for about a year and a half (yuck!). I've experienced the same thing with slow or no weight loss and the only thing that I've learned that has worked is increasing your workouts both weight training and cardio (ESPECIALLY cardio like hiho322...

    "Intensity" step-based mish-mosh ideas

    I TOTALLY agree! I actually did preview the workout, but sat in my chair and knew every move she was going to do (because of her excellent cueing and the fact that "what you do to one side, you do to the other!, I was sitting in my chair actually working out without doing so!). I love that...

    Texas Cathletes- My Fit Foods

    I actually saw one of these very recently in the 1960/Champions Forest area (I didn't go in). Was wondering if it was a good place. I live in the Tomball area, but this location is not that far from me. How were the prices?

    Cathe, you done it again......

    Glad you love the series (so did I when I first got them!). I can't imagine having to wait so long to do the workouts once you received them (but I'm sure it was worth the wait!). Congratulations on your new baby and good luck on the 9 pounds to go! Hopefully you pre-ordered Cathe's new...

    Lower Body Blast Slide Discs

    I didn't like using the paper plates, so I got mine at glidingdiscs.com and LOVE THEM! I've had them for a while now (I can't remember how much they were), but I don't remember them being real expensive.
