    Old Firmie needs suggestions

    Carolf, I can relate to your "Old Firmie" status and wanting to try something new. (I, too, have over 30 FIRMs lining the back row of a bookcase -- these days most are now collecting dust bunnies.) Cathe's strength tapes are generally excellent. You'll really enjoy working a body part with a...

    What is your "problem muscle"?

    Finally seeing over the crest of the shoulder plateau.... Another shoulder vote here. I'm finally making itsy, bitsy progress after weeks of behind-the-neck presses with a barbell. Ann

    What is the weather like where you live ?

    Hi Anna. We seem to be having an extended "Indian Summer" here in Monterey, California. No sign of winter with sunny and mild days; magnificent sunsets; and clear, star-filled skies at night. All in all, great weather for being outdoors -- but lousy for working out with Cathe. A bout of wet...

    What Do You Find Harder - Strength or Endurance?

    Hi Kaz. Yep. I'm voting with the majority here: the endurance workouts are much harder than the strength workouts. Personally, I think its the mixing up of the counts ("2 beats up, 2 beats down" "3 up, one down", etc.) that makes it much more challenging. Also, you never know when Cathes...

    PowerHour

    Hi Nancy and all the Powerhour fan-natics. I just got my copy on Monday night -- did the workout for the first time on Tuesday. It was very challenging -- lots there to improve on. Don't think I'll ever be able to do those jumping-in pushups (fun to watch Cathe and Cedie do them, though.)...

    Weight Used in Pyramid

    Hi Cathe. I'm curious what poundage weights were used in the new pyramid workout tape? The count on Joyce V.'s "Definition Upper Body" pyramid tape, for example, is so fast I can only use 2,3, and 5 lb. weights. I feel like I do a lot of thrashing and arm flailing, but not much of a workout...

    Body Pump Certification

    Hi Cathe. I was surprized to read in your bio that you are a certified Body Pump instructor. I love the Body Pump video and always crave more all-barbell video workouts like it. I just ordered Power Hour hoping it will give me an even better workout than BP. Any possibility that you will do...

    Old, Old Step and Motion tape

    After looking at all the still photographs from Cathe's oldest videos I still haven't found my original Cathe step video. I bought it from Collage in the late 80's (?) and I believe it was called "Step and Motion" -- I don't remember what number. The cover was possibly black and white (?), but...
