What a great set of tapes. I'm thinking os swapping tapes 4 and 5 so I'm not doing legs 2 days in a row. Has anyone else worked through this yet? Cathe, or am I doing both tapes too heavy maybe? Thanks, Traci'

I'm 4 months post-partum and picking back up on my exercise (had a c-section and PIH). I know my joints probably hurt from the relaxin still in my body, when will that stuff go away? But why are my bones sore like in my hands, wrists and forearms. I'm doing Cathe's new videos but very light...

I'm currently doing this Hi, I'm breastfeeding currently, my son is 3 1/2 months old. I waited 8 weeks before starting videos again but I had a c-sect. It seemed to me that it took 2 - 2 1/2 months for my milk supply to fully settle in and that correlated with the books I have. Rest is the...

Hi Cathe, With your 6-tape series new videos what rotation are you recommending? 3 tapes then a rest day or all 6 then a rest? Thanks Traci'

Unfortunately I developed Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension along with excess amniotic fluid. Had an emergency c-section because my organs started shutting down. So Korben Garrett Vernon-Pederson arrived at 4:04pm May 9th after 29 hours of labor. Once I get an all clear to exercise at 6 weeks...

Hi Cathe, glad everyone is doing well. You said you are now clear to resume exercise at 6 weeks. Have you been doing anything during that time? I know you can do light stuff as you feel like it, especially pelvic stuff to get the muscle tone back. Traci' Edd: May 24th with Garrett

Me too I too had to take a break from videos for awhile. I really didn't have morning sickness but was so fatigued I slept constantly. I'm in week 24 now and back to 4-5 days a week. Only last week did I actually use MIS and StepFit. MIS with light dumbbells and no risers for StepFit but I...

Thanks I don't have those videos but I did MIS last week and did some mods. I inclined my bench for chest work. Did overhead tricep extensions instead of lying down, and basically used 5 and 8 lb dumbbells for everything. Good thing on the back work, where she says bring barbell to...

I have several Cathe videos and used them regularly till about 2 months into pregnancy. Was then too tired, but have lately been working out again using pregnancy videos on the market. I'm about 23weeks along and was wondering if I should try my Cathe's again even, knowing I have to modify...

I'm at 21.5w now and according to the doctor's scales have put on 22 pounds. I don't think that is quite right, it is afternoon when they weigh me and I've been having some hand/feet edema(swelling). I'm to the point now where I can work out again modified. I'm doing pregnancy videos I have...

Hang in there I'm 13 weeks along with my first and still having the "tired" bouts. I try to aim for 3 days working out, but don't get bummed if I make 2. In the next couple of weeks I expect to get back to more normal. I have that book by Clapp and it is really good. My aerobic instructor...

Ok, does anyone know who has a line of clothes that can be worn in those last few months? I'm mainly worried about the shorts, which ones have the best support, etc... Thanks, Traci'

thanks it is always neat to get a post from you, i can imagine it when i'm working out. thanks for answering a question i was thinking that interval work is out of the picture. i'm in the shell-shock state at all i have to get done. traci'

Well, I'm almost 6 weeks with my first (and only) at 31. What were those books again for working out during your pregnancy? I'm a cathe step girl and did Step Works yesterday without too many problems, had to slow down on the last segment. This is a shock/surprise, my husband is happy and my...
