I dont have a huge weight loss success to share but am thrilled that I finally found exercise that I can do from my home that I enjoy and look forward to. I enjoy running but with my husband’s crazy work schedule, my full-time work schedule and the kids at home I cant leave the
My second pregnancy (10 years after my first) was a difficult one, not because of any complications from the pregnancy, but because I was so physically unfit. Unlike my first pregnancy, I didn’t exercise at all and I ate whatever would quickly subside the hunger. In addition to that, I was very busy with my
“Mom, is Cathe stronger than you?” asks my 6 year old daughter as I sweat my way through drill number 25 (or so it seems) on Drill Max. “Umm…yeah.” I reply with a beet red face and sweat rolling down my forehead. “One day Mommy might be as strong as Cathe!” At least, that is
I have read many success stories throughout my fitness journey and never really considered that I fitted into that category of being successful in weight loss. But as I started to think about what success really means, I realized that I do have a success story to tell. Granted I have never considered myself to
I was always afraid to try Cathe’s workouts……although I had been a video exerciser for many years, they seemed to be way too advanced. Am I glad that I decided to take a chance! With the help of Cathe, her wonderful crew and fantastic workouts, I am in the best shape of my life. I
I fought the up and down battle of the bulge syndrome for the 1st 26 years of my life. I was always the tallest/fattest kid in my class. Always made fun of – gym class was the worst as I couldn’t perform anywhere near others in my class. Needless to say my self esteem was
The past 2 years have been perhaps the toughest years of my life. After having a beautiful little girl in 2005, we decided to try again in 2007. Unfortunately, shortly after becoming pregnant I lost the baby in December of 2007. Doctors told me that it was just “bad luck”. Then after a few months
Towards the end of my pregnancy with my second son in 2008 I weighed 220 pounds. As my due date was approaching, I realized that having gained 50 pounds I was going to have to do something to get the weight off this time around. I thought of Cathe. I had seen Cathe years ago
We take our balance for granted. When we think of disabilities, we think of spinal cord injuries and fractures, but likely take it for granted that our relatively small feet will keep our bodies upright. Eight years ago, I was diagnosed with an extremely large brain tumor. I’m forever thankful it was benign. I had
I am 36 years old and haven´t properly worked out since P.E at school (i.e 20 years ago!) I have never been slim and take after my mother who is overweight. The older I got the more kilos I would gain and I´d just buy a size bigger and say ´hey, this is how I
I grew up the daughter of a serial dieter. I thought that’s what women did, so I started dieting when I was a teen. Countless diets yielded no permanent successes in losing the elusive 10 or 20 pounds, because I never figured out that I had to commit to a different lifestyle. So off and
Well, my journey continues as I have now officially entered menopause (August 13th). I have been a dedicated Cathe fan since 1999. I love, love, LOVE all of her cardio workouts. I struggle, struggle, STRUGGLE with the weight workouts. But, hey, I have lots of equipment and at least I am trying? Anyway, as I
