    Can patience be learned?

    Hi Laura, Boy, can I relate! By nature, I am the same way as you--in a hurry and impatient (My mother, a Class A firebrand, was my role model). I would always use force to get things done quickly (even to the point of hurting myself or doing a sloppy job), and I had no appreciation for the art...

    How did everyone hear about Cathe?

    I bought a step three or four years ago, and it came with a copy of All-Step. I tried All-Step, but it was beyond me at the time, so I used it only for the arm and ab workout. Meanwhile, I kept working out to Denise Austen. But her blonde perkiness really began to wear on my nerves, and I...

    Bare Essentials

    Except for BE, we should get rid of all other make-up Best make-up ever. I am 41 and prone to progesterone-related breakouts, and this stuff gives good coverage, but you don't even feel like you're wearing make-up. Prior to BE, I had never found a make-up I was satisfied with. In fact, I was...

    Low Resting Pulse--Could it mean heart trouble?

    Hi everyone, Today I went to my oby/gyn for a check-up, and she was very concerned about my pulse of 45. She suggested I go see my family doctor to get it checked out as soon as possible and told me some horror stories of what it could mean and how it might lead to a pacemaker. My blood...

    weird question...please help

    That happened to me too, but it was in one of my calves. I didn't even know my calf was swollen until my husband noticed it one day while giving a foot massage. Anyways, I thought I might have a clot, because leg clots (and poor leg circulation) run in my family. Doctors did an MRI and found...

    Spotting at 6 1/2 weeks. Is this normal?

    Hi ladies, I am almost 7 weeks pregnant for the first time, and I've been spotting for the past 15 hours or so. When I wipe myself after going to the bathroom, there is a brown color on the toilet paper. It's not heavy or red. In fact, sometimes it's very faint. Is this something to be...

    Newly pregnant--does my exercise need to change?

    Hello, I am about 3 weeks pregnant with my first. When do I need to start changing the way I exercise. I am 41, in good physical shape (doing most of Cathe's DVDs), and at my ideal weight. I've been exercising at least 3 times a week for years. Is kickboxing safe? What about all of that...

    TTC--hubby has erectile dysfunction (I think) and other probs

    RE: TTC--hubby has erectile dysfunction (I think) and o... Thanks Donna. I think it's the male ego thing, and I'm trying to respect that about my DH, so he doesn't feel blame or pressure. He did at least go see his doctor for Viagra, but he said he had a hard time admitting it to the doctor...

    TTC--hubby has erectile dysfunction (I think) and other probs

    Hi y'all, I'm hoping some of you pregnancy veterans can help. About 8 months ago, my husband and I started trying to conceive. We are both older and married recently. The problem is my husband has not been able to have the stiff erections he was capable of in earlier days. He tried Viagra...

    Clean eating is soooo hard!

    You are right. Sugar busting is hard, but not impossible. It takes a long time to establish. For me, sugar was the final evil in my diet. My husband and I had wanted to kick this habit for about 15 years before we finally did. Not surprising, we feel more energy, and we both dropped down...

    Which video is right for me?

    Dear Cathe, When I bought a step a couple of years ago, it came with a copy of your video "All Step." This video was too quick and difficult for me to catch up in terms of choreography. I did like you and your style of teaching, and you don't get on my nerves like some of your perky...

    Which VHS is right for me?

    Dear Cathe, I recently purchased a step and a free video of your ALL STEP came with it. I really like the arm and ab exercises at the end and do them all the time, but I have found the step routines difficult. Do you have a step video that is easier to follow than this one? Or maybe you have...
