    What did I do wrong?

    Hi Everyone I did Drill Max 3 days ago and am still having pain in my upper back and shoulders. Mostly trapezius. I felt that the section with swinging the ball was really difficult, could this have done it? I've never had pain in this area before. It's very tight and feels hard to move. I...

    Thought I was going to drop dead!!!!

    I just did this last week and actually posted a comment wondering if anyone really EVER finished that one. It was killer!!! I did what I could up until the step portion when she started all over again!! I have done many of her other step tapes, but this one was unbelievable. Good Luck ellie:7

    Are you kidding me?

    Thanks for the encouragement. I know I need to work up to a lot of her tapes, I just keep hoping it will be soon. I had planned to do an IMAX tomorrow, but I don't think I'll be able to move!!! ellie;)

    Are you kidding me?

    I have been doing Cathe's workouts for about 4 months. Alternating step and weight. I am doing well but obviously some are much more intense. This morning I did MIC. Or should I say tried to do MIC. How in the world does anyone finish that tape???? I thought I would die and kinda wished I would...

    Can someone offer some advice?

    Thank you everyone for your support. I tend to expect a lot from myself and jump in too quickly. I reaaly love Cathe's workouts and want to continue doing them. When I do other tapes that aren't Cathe I laugh at what I used to think was HARD!! Hopefully I can work up to that with Cathe!!!:7 I...

    Can someone offer some advice?

    Hi, I've recently returned to exercising and really love Cathe. But I am having a really hard time fiishing ANY workouts. My heart rate skyrockets ito the 160's and I am huffing and puffing!! I feel like I will never get there. I love her choreography and music. I am getting discouraged. I end...

    Thank you everyone! I thought it was just me. I realize now that it does start much faster and that's what got my heart rate up so quickly. I love this video and am looking forward to doing it all one day soon. Thanks ellie:-)

    Step Works

    Is it just me or is Step Max really hard? I took awhile off from exercising (4 months) and reently started again. I did Low Max, Cardio and Weights and Rhythmic Step. This morning I did 3/4 of Step Works and thought I would die. My heartrate was too high and I kept taking breaks to catch my...

    Cardio and Weights

    Hi I am doing the happy dance. I did Cardio and weights this am, and finished the entire thing. Well, I had a really hard time with the ab work but otherwise I DID IT!!! This is the first time (I am a newbie) that I have finished an entire tape!! I gained a lot of confidence. I have almost...

    Classics

    I have noticed the same thing. I was dieting and doing Cathe and got NO RESULTS. I "gave up" and started eating more and I finally lost a few pounds. I put it back on over the last year because I was not working out and was eating way too much junk food. I'm still not sure what clean eating is...

    Classics

    Thanks for all your help. I really have been trying so hard to figure all this out. I know my diet is awful and I thought exercising would make up for it. I learned the hard way that is sooooo not true. I absolutely love Cathe tapes and push myself as hard as i can to finish one. I think it's...

    Classics

    Thanks for the imput. Does anyone else have a hard time finishing the entire workout (no matter which one)? Somedays I get discouraged that I will never actually be in shape.:( I think I need help with a good eating plan and cardio schedule. I do have Push and Pull and Legs and Glutes etc...

    Classics

    I was wondering if the Classics Volume is worth getting at this point. I have Stepworks,Rythmic step, Step, Jump and Pump, IMAX 1 and 3 and Step Blast. I love them all. I haven't truly been able to complete them all but am getting much better. It's not the choreography, it's the intensity!! Is...

    What percentage of diet/nutrition versus exercise?

    Well that just answered one of my biggest questions!! I have been exercising for 6 months and NOT losing weight. I'm having knee pain from over doing it so much. BUT, I don't eat right. I tend to "reward" myself after exercise. And I eat the candy bar because i worked so hard exercising. Now...

    Knees

    Thank you all for the great ideas. A) My sneakers are probably WAY too old, now that you mention it. I haven't changed them in about 8 months. YIKES B) I am doing only step aerobics with Cathe (well some light weight work on non-cardio days). Maybe I should try another form of cardio Any...

    Knees

    Hi, I am somewhat new to cathe videos. I started about 6 months ago and have not really completed a full one yet!! They are wonderful, but killer for a newbie. Lately while trying to lose weight I have noticed a lot of knee pain. I had no injury that caused pain, just a constant nagging pain in...
