I found Cathe a little over a year ago but my journey began 10 years ago. Before and after the birth of my first son 10 years ago, I was 50 pounds overweight. The day my son was born, my world changed. I decided I would be a mother healthy enough to keep up with
After being out of a good routine of exercising for nearly a year, and having a really bad diet for even longer, I headed to the doctor for my routine thyroid exam. While I certainly did recognize that I wasn’t looking very good in the low-rise jeans that had looked pretty good when I bought
At 11 years old, I was due to start secondary school. I was one of just two from my primary school who would be starting there. I was scared. I was nervous. I was overweight. Should it have mattered? No. Did it? Yes, it really did. To top things off, I had been on crutches
If you would have told me 3 years ago that I would be fit and healthy today, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. Because 3 years ago, I weighed almost 300 pounds. I was stuck in a body that I hated. I didn’t know how to break free from it. Finally, I decided to get
I had my first massive stroke at the age of 34 a week before I was to be married! I wore a size 18 wedding dress and did not consider myself overweight or morbidly obese. After a stay in ICU, medications and many doctors later I was finally diagnosed with a blood disorder. My neurologist
In April of 2007, I went in for a routine physical. I have always exercised with exercise videos and dvds and I considered myself healthy. I was actually looking forward to the doctor coming in and saying how great my results were! Instead, the doctor told me my cholesterol was very high and she wanted
Today, because of Cathe’s challenging and fun workout videos, I am the strongest I have ever been in my life. This is a far cry from the near-death car accident I suffered from over 25 years ago. This accident left me with severe head injuries and a damaged left hip. Back then, the technology wasn’t as advanced
We’re Dennis and Marlene, a married couple in their 40’s from NYC. We completed STS together and want to tell you about our experience doing STS as a couple. Marlene: Thanks to Cathe’s workouts, I lost over 35 pounds last year. This was a gradual process, and as I acquired more Cathe DVDs, more equipment,
I am a classic ectomorph. Me putting on muscle is a near monumental task and for a long time, I didn’t even bother trying even though I longed for the muscular, athletic look. I have never been athletic at all – I was in band in high school so I wouldn’t have to take P.E.!
I’ve been doing Cathe’s workouts when “Cathlete” was still “Catheite” and cathedotcom was still Step ‘N’ Motion. I found Cathe in an online search. I was tired of the same-old, same-old gimmicky workouts on the market. I wanted tough, I wanted exciting, and I wanted results. Cathe gave me all that and more. When STS
Last December I was waiting with great anticipation for my Shock Cardio DVD’s. I had a rotation all planned to start in January using STS, Shock Cardio and Ab Circuits. Finally, all three together! My DVD’s were scheduled for delivery on the 22nd, and then on December 19th, while walking down the bleachers at my
Last year I was able to attend Cathe’s Road Trip in Glassboro for the first time. It was an amazing experience and one that I’ll always treasure. While there, I was able to meet so many wonderful women who shared the same interests and love of fitness that I do. Upon returning, several of us
