After I move to the US in July, I am considering getting a personal trainer certification from either ACE or NASM. Does anyone have advice or recommendations as to which certification I should obtain or are they pretty much the same in terms of content/cost? Also, is there much demand for...

I've not received mine yet but was just wondering whether the dvds contained any premixes. Have a good weekend everyone! Josie :-)

Hi Cathe, I don't know if this has been asked before (my apologies if it has), but what brand of resistance bands are you using in the new workouts? Also, when filming the workouts, did you find that your muscles were being fatigued sufficiently compared to a weighted workout? The...

Hello everyone, I haven't posted in a while - been doing too much lurking! Anyway, I need a little bit of advice: I currently live in the UK, however I now have my visa to go and live in the USA. DH and I are both leaving the UK on 11th July. I am arranging for the removal people to...

For those of you who have both workouts, which one do you consider is most effective at shaping and firming buns and thighs? I used to do the LB stuff (and Winsor buns and thighs), but I simply find Legs and Glutes to be more interesting and challenging. Any views on this would be appreciated...

Oh my goodness, I just did Imax2 for the first time ever.....I already knew a lot of the intervals from doing Terminator - BUT, my word it was tough! I am really hurting now! x( I only stopped for a 2 minute break for a good sip of water and to wipe off the sweat when Cathe says to turn off...

Hi Cathe, I firstly just want to say a very big "thank you" from the UK for all that you do. I can't believe it has taken me so long to find out about your workouts - they are like a breath of fresh air! I am almost ashamed by the lack of decent workouts/fitness education available in the...

I've been doing the Timesaver dvd this week, still loving it and feeling great every time I master one of those trickier step moves!....BUT I just can't do those darned pikes on the stability ball! I swear my ball is just too big for me! Ha ha! Actually no, it is a 65cm reebok one and I am 5...

Just some across such a cool link - http://www.archive.org If you type http://www.cathe.com into the Wayback machine, you can see what Cathe's site looked like back in 1998! The Wayback machine will work with loads of other sites as well. Have fun! Josie

Well, I said I'd report back on my first outing with the Terminator dvd....did the Gauntlet...oh my oh my, that was tough! I pretty much kept up with most of it, although I had to press pause on the dvd player a few times so that I could catch my breath and get some water. Also towards the...

Hi, I know the Terminator dvd calls for a medicine ball, however I don't have one and don't even know where on earth I could get one here in the UK....does anyone have any substitute ideas, or could I just use a light dumbbell? Many thanks, Josie

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to Cathe and only have 2 of her workout dvds, namely Timesaver and Terminator. I have also recently purchased Slow and Heavy which should arrive any day. I would really like to try and figure out an effective 6 day rotation using Cathe and some workouts that I...

Well, just done the first workout on Timesaver - I think I am going to LOVE these workouts! I found some of the step moves a bit tricky and had to rewind a few times on the dvd...I must have spent an extra 15 minutes or so trying trying to figure out the moves...will take me a few more...

I have a reebok step which I only purchased recently.... and now I've just purchased the BB Timesaver and Terminator dvds....when they arrive, will it be ok to still use my reebok step? I know Cathe recommends the larger club style step, just that my DH would go crazy if I went out and...

Hi Cathe, I'm currently using various dvd workouts to help me lose weight and tone up - I am a classic pear shape and really need to slim down my hips and thighs, BUT, I would also like to build up my upper body. At the moment, I'm doing various step workout dvds, the firm (older ones) and...
