    Fibromyalgia and exercise

    Thank you so much Michele and Marie for your kind words. The pain is chronic but hopefully I will only have flare ups every so often. I just haven't been able to get this one (my first by the way) to calm down. I will probably start by walking on the treadmill. I hope I can use Cathe's dvds...

    Exercise Rotation for beginner

    Thanks. I do not have the high step circuit. Can I buy that at Target or do I have to purchase from her website? Also I have an original health club step--can I use that or do I need to purchase the high step? Thanks

    Cathe Newbie Loving It

    thank you so much Kris for your help. I think I will try the basic step tonight. I've been reading so much about Cathe lately and I used to do Step Aerobics all the time for years. I've just been away from it for a while.

    Cathe Newbie Loving It

    Hi Kris, Today is my first day on the message boards. I just received Cathe's Basic Step and Body Fusion. How are you working the rotation for the DVDs? These are my first workouts from her and I'm not sure the best way to use them. Since you are using the same ones I just thought I would...
