    New Video Poll

    Cathe, Thanks for asking. I love your videos, but I would like to see a lower impact video Advanced Cathe style, not your grandma's low impact video. I feel that some of the moves in your cardio step videos are hard on my joints. I love some of the low impact moves that you have included...

    Hi, Can anyone comment on how good a workout a person can get from inline skates? I am becoming more and more limited in what workouts I can do. I recently was told by a doctor that I may have torn glute muscles. I thought I had piriformis syndrome. The doctor told me that I would have to...

    Working out after dinner?

    Nancy, I too often have to wait until the baby is in bed and after dinner. I do keep this in mind when I'm eating. However, unlike running or swimming, I have less problems with cramping with Cathe's workouts. Weight workouts are never a problem. The step workouts don't cause much...

    Piriformis Syndrome or sciatica

    Beth, Thank you. And thanks to the others. Beth, I am glad that you told me about this alternative because I need to know what else to consider. I've tried Vioxx, ice packs, massage, and physical therapy. Of course it improved when I stopped running, but I don't want to give up all...

    Piriformis Syndrome or sciatica

    Hi, Has anyone had this or sciatica? I have had piriformis syndrome for several years and need some relief. It was caused by 15 years of running, so I stopped running. But I find that Cathe's videos, particularly the videos with lots of squats, aggravate the condition. I went to physical...
