    Cathe, I want to hit a home run!

    No, seriously. I do. I play a lot of slowpitch softball in the summers--mostly coed, but a little women's too. I know that a lot of the ability to hit a home run comes from swing mechanics, the kind of bat I use, etc etc, but a lot of it is pure strength too. FYI, I'm looking at a ~250 foot...

    Where's your home page?

    RE: Latest Update Hey, http://www.shopcathe.com/ still works so that's the main thing. We can still get our Cathe fix! ;)

    Cathe and Crew

    If I was going to be part of a hive mind, I'd want my queen to be Cathe. Just think, if you're Borg...every time a workout calls for a new piece of equipment, you can just have it added on. Cybernetics are the workout trend of the future! Incidentally, when my husband took me to see Star...

    Cathe: Why some videos have 1 risers; others 2?

    I am 5'8" and only rarely use two risers--with higher impact stuff, it bothers my (otherwise trouble-free) knees. My sister is 6'1" and prefers to step at 6" as well. Also, sometimes stepping at 8" just makes the workout too darn hard. It took a summer of boot camp style workouts to get me to...

    Good Luck, Cathe and Crew!!!!

    Break a (figurative) leg, Cathe and crew! :) :)

    SNM -- About Nancy

    Another post singing the praises of Nancy. I have been Flaky McFlakerton adding to my preorder, and she has been unfailingly polite and friendly while helping me to spend my money. ;) Give this woman a raise!

    Butts n' Guts

    I am butt-challenged. Rather than wanting something to shrink my posterior, I want a workout that will help round it out! Will B&G help the butt-deficient or should I look elsewhere?

    Future formats? (16:9 and/or HD)

    All the media convergence that's happening right now is pretty exciting stuff. I would *love* something like you're talking about. I'd get online, select the workouts, segments, and premixes I want and they show up in a set top box or portable unit that I can take anywhere. (*sigh* I could...

    Future formats? (16:9 and/or HD)

    I'm a Cathe fan and a eletronics nerd...a dangerous combination. Cathe/SNM, I was wondering about future plans for workout DVD formats. I know that buying new gear is a considerable expense, but do you have plans to eventually start filming in high definition once the format war is won by...

    Lovin' the blog!

    As a blogger myself I was super stoked to see you start blogging, Cathe! I have to say the behind the scenes info is so fun to read. Tempting, too--I just added Body Max 2 to my preorder. :) I can't wait to see more!

    Cathe/SNM, Would You Consider An On-Screen Timer?

    Oh, man. If there was a way to make the timer optional that would be ideal for me. Clock watching absolutely *kills* my motivation. I'd have to put duct tape over that part of the screen if I couldn't make the timer go away.

    Revisiting Music Louder Option :-)

    I don't use the music louder option. I still need the vocal cues, especially for cardio workouts. What you're planning for the new series (does it have a name?) sounds perfect, though!

    Will there be WO Blenders in the new workouts?

    I am not a big fan of the Workout Blender mostly because of the 6 segment limitation. Between that and the 3-5% incompatibility rate, I think it might be more trouble than it's worth. It's a super cool idea, but the technology just isn't there yet to support it properly. On the rare...

    Official Cathe Beginner Rotation

    RE: Offical Cathe Beginner Rotation My mom and her neighbor both bought the "home" steps and LOVE doing Basic Step and Body Fusion together. They alternate them. Mom and I have done Low Impact Step together a few times. The last time we did LIS, I got out my Total Body Stretching DVD and we...

    It's 12:30 eastern time......

    Cathe, I'm so sorry to hear about your injury! I hurt myself recently too--I got a little ambitious doing the deadlifts in PLB and hurt my low back. I've been getting PT for the last three weeks and I've been using your beginner/intermediate workouts with the step at 4" and I am getting...

    OT - blogs

    By way of full disclosure, my fitness blog is listed on both these portals, but here you go: http://www.fatfighterblogs.com/directory/ and http://www.fitnessblogs.org/portal/ I am sure there are plenty of others, but those are the two I know about.

    Im sorry...did you want some?

    Wow, that doesn't sound like a lunch, it sounds like a binge. When my friends and I were doing WW, we'd usually have a slightly bigger lunch after our weigh-ins, but nothing like that. I hope your friend isn't setting herself up for some really damaging eating habits. Not to mention the fact...

    How can they do this?

    Labeling requirements, pure and simple. From this article: http://www.dhn-online.org/freeIssue/transFat.html ----------- "Under the new FDA labeling requirements, manufacturers can label products containing less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving as having 0 grams trans fat. So, a...

    My team STINKS!

    I feel your pain. I play on a Thursday night team, and sometimes I swear the other women just leave their hustle at home or something. I'm in it for fun, but I like to play hard and I hate to see people playing like Daria, you know? I don't mind losing, but I hate to lose because we didn't...
