Hi. I am still in the beginner/beginner intermediate phase of my fitness journey, and am wondering, which of Cathe's workouts does everyone think is the ultimate to conquer? The ultimate goal to aim for? I'm 55 years young, and have no intention of getting a rocking chair for my future self...

I totally agree! I'd also like to see a beginner/intro workout for the barbell. And a DVD workout just like the live class Cathe had for her Senior clients! As I am perimenopausal, I could use a workout like this on really rough days.

Yay!! Can't wait!

Thanks for the replies! I haven't been able to check back because of the holidays. I guess I will hold off on a tower for now. I appreciate your input!! Thanks again!

Does Cathe have any plans to offer the weight tower used in so many of her workouts? I would love to have one!!!

Praying for her and you.

I had Jane Fonda's Workout album!! I had some trouble following, so I memorized the warmup and after doing it, I put on music and danced myself silly!! Then I'd do crunches with 3# weights and ALOT of stretching!! (I was in my 20s and thin!!) I discovered the FIRM when I saw the ads in the...

Thanks! That's been a few days now and I've done nothing since! I am ashamed to admit that. It is quite a struggle for me, but I intend to overcome it! I will fight this battle for the rest of my life. Sharon

Hi TRSTACIE! I actually did the warmup, first step segment and cooldown of Basic Step. I didn't use a step and it was just right. I felt pretty good and wasn't worn out. I am so grateful to you and all the wonderful ladies who offered me advice!!! So, I raise my glass (of water) and say...

Hi stephaniein29! I guess I'll have to check out the workout manager. I can actually feel how much you like to use it!! I like that you "give yourself permmission". I am always so hard on myself. Looks like I am my own worst enemy. I have learned alot about myself because of all the...

Hi myputer! You are my hero and inspiration!!! 60 years young and doing Cathe!!! I KNEW it could be done!!!! I struggled through The FIRM. The Originals are my favorites, although BSS1 is my favorite of the "newer" sets. But I think Cathe is top notch! I like her style...

Hi Dela! Thanks for sharing! I'm in awe that your go to a gym AND do your workouts at home!! I hope your back is better! I did WW for awhile, but I got tired of being on a diet! I know I shouldn't think of it as a diet, but I had been doing it since 2003. I'd lost 23# at one point and...

Hi TRSTACIE! I have always been intimidated by check-ins. Silly I know. And I haven't looked into the workout manager. But maybe I will check into both!! I've never considered asking Cathe questions. I don't know why. Maybe it would feel like asking George Clooney out!!! I MUST work on...

Oh my melimcn!!! I'm sorry that happened to you!! I admire that you found your way through a horrible experience using fitness. I think that speaks volumes for the power of fitness!!! And, you are 10 years STRONG and going!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Sharon

Really? You only have three subsitutions? Wow! I do have alot to learn!! I guess I have the same idea of a vegan diet that alot of people have! It just might be easier than I thought!! My husband would NEVER give up his meat or junk. But I'll keep praying. I didn't think he would ever...

Hi Wendy! My wedding (#2) was motivation for me too! I was 34. Looking back, I had a really great program going! I want to get back to that but I didn't have the issues then that I have now. When I was exercising regularly, I felt wonderful, mentally and physically! I admire your...

Hi TRSTACIE!! I hang my head in shame as I realize I missed your post!! I also salute your for your accomplishments and doing STS!!! I can't wait to get and complete STS!!! I have never worked out with Gilad (I was going to say I've never "done" Gilad, but that didn't sound good!!! LOL!!)...

Thanks Natalie! My DIL tried to go vegan for about 3 months last year. She had great weightloss results but gave up because she got bored. I have been considering going vegan more for health reasons with the weightloss as a bonus. I have a few books on my Kindle Fire so that I will always...

Hi cammie-cam! Everyone has been so wonderful and I am humbled by all the well-wishes I have received. Your story sounds alot like mine as I began experiencing perimenopausal symptons. But, unlike you, I just gave up my fitness. I admire your strength (figuratively and physically). I...

Hi cokonkel! Thank you for your advice! 10 minutes at a time I should be able to do!!! I used to exercise in the morning. But now I have an extremely hard time getting up early. I think it's because as my body is changing, I don't sleep good. But I agree with you, "if it doesn't get done...
