Did my undergrad B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders at James Madison University in Virginia. Currently in the first semester of my Master's program in Speech Language Pathology at the University of Florida. Good luck with college apps! Catie

Hi Melanie, Not a Mom here but I am currently a speech-lanugage pathology graduate student and have some experience clinically with child language developement and baby signing. Of course, I will just be interjecting some personal observations here and will be careful not to draw...

Hi, mostly lurk here but thought i'd add my suggestion for training as I am an avid skier. In addition to an exercise regimen that involves many of the types of exercise discussed above, I have found that the most beneficial training method for improving my overall performance on the slopes...

Hey Ladies, Well I had a long day yesterday so didn't get to do IMAX 2 as planned but I desperately needed a rest day anyway, major DOMS from the walking lunges earlier in the week. Thankfully, I have the luxury of a day off today so I did IMAX 2 this morning followed by todays homemade...

Hey All, Inadvertantly took a rest day yesterday...the time just kind of caught up with me. Did start out with some warm up moves and completed 2 hundred walking lunges but never got around to IMAX. I will do that this sunday and then stretch max, no biggie. Today, I did SJP and the KM...

Hi All, I will be attempting this rotation as well. Let me just say right away that I will definitely be modifying some days...due to time, video, and exercise level constraints...but I'm trying. I'll have to sub certain programs for others I don't have and I will have to modify alot of the...

Hi Marla, I had the same dilemma as you...have a quite a few Cathe programs but always need to modify for something because I don't own them all. I will actually be substituting Cardio&Weights for Body Max...have't done it in awhile and I figure it's probably just as good. I'll go ahead and...

Hi Angel, Chiquita and Leslie, Nice to meet you guys :) Angel, Leslie I believe is actually the one studying nutrition...I am a speech pathology major with a double minor in special education and exercise science (<- just for fun). I go to James Madison University in VA and will be a senior...

had a cup of fresh spinach with sliced apple and almonds with a bit of balsamic and olive oil dressing. my snack in another hour or so will be light and lively cottage cheese cup, and a slice of whole wheat bread with a tbsp of lowfat peanut butter.

Your brother sees you exercising and says, "wait, your workout video has you doing clean & presses?...I used to do that in football...what's this ladies name again?" (I groan: "...cathe...")...next day, he's lifting in the basement with the weights and asking me if I want to go for a run with...

Hey everyone, I've been lurking the Cathe forum for awhile and recently started trying to get more active with posting etc. So far, I'm loving the support, humor, and great fitness advice to be found here. Tonight, I was just thinking about what other Cathe fans out there are in college...

welcome Char! This forum is great, and as I'm sure you have figured out, a wonderful way to ask questions, share info, and have fun. And as Terri said, can be addicting, in a totally healthy way! See you around the forum :) Catie

I definitly notice a difference between am and pm workouts vs. how I feel doing them. I have no energy to workout in the morning. Once in awhile, I'll be able to muster up am activity but that's rare and unplanned...if I feel up to it and the time is right, then I'll workout in the morning. I...

Kathryn, Thanks for your reply! My thoughts on what I may need to do to kick up my workouts a notch are very much along the same lines as the suggestions you have made. I do think I absolulty need to increase my cardio time (always a challenge to find the extra time but I'll try!). I'm...

Think about some of the closer shore points. As mentioned above, I frequent the area between Ocean Grove and Point Pleasent. Personally I LOVE Ocean Grove (exit 100 on the Pkway). It is a gorgeous, well maintained shore town, very quiet, beautiful beach, lovely boardwalk for long strolls (but...

Great movie...I don't like to go to the movies much (mainly just too expensive to see many movies that aren't that great) but went with some friends to see this last week. I LOVED it, best 9 dollars I've spent on a movie in awhile. Once again, it's crude humor but nothing overly offensive...

Hi Cathe, Hi Cathe, I'm hoping you can offer me some suggestions. I am 21 years old and absoloutly LOVE working out to your programs. I enjoy step, love lifting weights, and like to add yoga and pilates to supplement your workouts. I was away for a month at the beginning of the summer and...

Congratulations Annette, I have admired your advice on these threads as a fellow forum member and your fitness knowledge and support is an inspiration to me. Your story of personal success is also an inspiration. I wish you continued health and happiness ... way to go! :-) Catie

Go for Boot Camp/Muscle Endurance !!! One of my absolute favorite DVDs. Boot Camp is great for breaking through plateaus (and SO fun), Muscle Endurance is one of Cathe's hardest endurance workouts in my opinion, and the premixes and bonus combinations are stellar. You'll use this workout soooo...

I do own a barbell but find myself prefering dumbells often. In my opinion, pretty much all of her exercises on any given program are easily modified to allow use of dumbells instead of the barbell. However, the resistence a barbell offers (and some of the hand positioning) is slightly...
