I did C&W this morning and decided to try it as suggested with an 8 inch step. I had to stop twice to wipe the sweat off my face so I could see. It was burning my eyes. I had done it Monday and it was a bit easier on the 6 inch step. So as Cathe would say, "Modify, modify, modify!" We are...

Hello everyone, I have been reading about juicing and would like to start. I need a juicer. Any of you out there in Cathe Land own one that you could recommend? Links to a website where I could buy it would be helpful also. Thanks in advance. Heather Motherofsix

Hello, I was just wondering why you need orthotics. If you have posted why before I must have missed it. I will tell you my story--you will probably think I am nuts--but here goes anyway. I went to the podiatrist last year around this time. I explained how I was having trouble with...

If you use the high step for the #2 and #3 DVDs, does this mean we will be stepping up and down on the high step most of the time. I don't think my knees would appreciate it. Could you explain what we will be doing in these workouts for those of us who don't quite get it yet? Thanks in...

Hello Navywifey, The best advice I can give is to just take one day at a time. Don't let your past inactivity keep you from working out today. I had to take 6 weeks off last summer because of surgery I had on my right foot. I also did alot of painting and remodeling in November. I did...

Hello Joy, I wear a 9 1/2. Yes, big I know. I inherited them from my mom and dad. Thanks for you input about the Ryka Iseums. Heather

My knees are getting stressed from Cathe's Lower Body Workouts. What can I do that doesn't put so much stress on my knees? Since I do her Step workouts do I need to do alot of lower body strength training? Are there alternatives to doing squats, lunges, and leg presses? The inside of my...

I have been trying to decide on some new shoes. I called the Ryka people yesterday. The lady seemed very unknowledgable about their shoes. And I have read some posts here lately that said their quality isn't as good as it used to be. And their prices--ouch!!! I tried on some New Balance...

Hello Educated Crowd! My knees and feet have been talking to me so I need to cross train. I have been checking the Windsor Pilates Website out and it sounds good--no impact,easy on the joints, but will strengthen your body. Do any of you own it, use it, like it, or dislike it? Pros and...

Could some of you out there recommend some good shoes? What kind of inserts? Thanks in advance. Heather

Another Idea? Would Cathe's Step Workouts be more knee friendly if you did them without the step--just modify the moves? Then you could do one step workout as is, one workout without the step, and then one of her kickboxing workouts to complete your week. Just thinking out loud cause my...

Hi Amy, Wow! You sound incredible! A 35 year old husband--too good to be true. Yeah! You go girl! Heather

Hello Macska, Glad you came out of hiding. This forum is awesome. I understand perfectly what you are saying. My daughter and I have a great relationship and our conversation this morning was more joking around than anything else. She gave me a very nice compliment also. I tried the...

Thanks for the comments Briee. But I think you have me confused with someone else. I have never lived in Wisconsin. But thanks again for the comments. Motherofsix Heather

Just felt like I had to pat myself on the back today. I have working out with Cathe for a little over a year and I feel terrific. This morning I asked my daughter, who is 19, how much she weighs on the scale at the fitness center at the Air Force base. I workout there on Saturdays so I use...

Thanks Deb, I homeschool my children and I know I wouldn't be able to if I didn't workout. After I workout, the little things don't bother me so much. I have lots more patience and get more done. You would think that I would have more time to get things done if I didn't workout, but it...

Thanks for the advice. And looking back, yesterday was a cross training day, not a day off. Cleaning can be great exercise! But not nearly as rigorous as Cathe's workouts. My house looks great. I rearranged my livingroom so I can workout right in front of the television again. I had been...

Thanks for the support Jennifit. I never realize how working out effects me mentally until I can't workout. But I have made it through today and looking forward to working out at the Fitness Center tomorrow. Mogambo, I am truly sorry to hear about your injury. It is so hard when something...

Hello All, I have taken yesterday and today off from working out. My period hit like a ton of bricks and my legs are not too happy lately either. So I have forced, and I mean forced myself to take these 2 days off. Physically I feel better from the rest. But mentally it is taking its toll...

My wife has been telling me about this very interesting thread. I did not think it would last this long. I for one have noticed a miracle change in my wife. She's acted like she was 20yrs old. She (folks) has not looked sexier or looked better in the 20 yrs that we've been married. I...
