You are welcome! Trust me, I need all the friends I can get! Now, we just need you to put an avatar on so we can identify you instead of some great big gray square with a question mark in the middle of it!!!

Elle_p: I agree with you, I have a hard time realizing that I can still get a good workout even if I don’t do as much cardio as I think I should—I think that is why I try to do a step routine 4 to 5 times a week. I’m looking forward to doing the Stretch Max with my new stability ball. I...

Hope every one had a great mother's day! This weekend has been CRAZY!!!! We have had some horrendous winds here in Ohio and Friday at lunch I decided to walk 2.5 miles. That was a workout in and of itself as I was walking up and down hills, but I completed it in 40 minutes!! Whoohoo. By the...

Elle_P: Welcome to the group - I think I everyone here has used Cathe in the past and are just trying to get back into the swing of things except me! I truly have never done a Cathe workout before. Its always great to have another person to bounce things off of! Nancy: Understand busy life, I...

Glitter: I basically did the same thing, but I had a very limited supply of Cathe DVDs, so I worked out a month-long routine using Basic Step and the Add-ons. This allowed me to pick everyone's brains in here to find out what everyone else was using and then check them out of Cathe's site to...

Nancy (betterallthetime): Definitely hope you get rid of the killer sore throat. You are an inspiration to me if you can even think about doing any type of a workout when you are feeling so lousy! When I feel like crap, my workout is crap! I haven't seen Cathe's May rotation, but if you don't...

Nancy, Thanks for the info on the ticker, I will check it out. I am glad you are feeling better. I decided to do Stretch Max yesterday and think I will add it to my routine every Saturday. I've decided to take every Sunday off to rest. I did my 2 week weigh in yesterday and thanks to Cathe I...

Nancy, Did someone already ask you where you got your weight progression scale? As I continue to do Cathe's workouts, I would like to have one to chart my weight loss.

Glitter: Welcome to the group! You will find that everyone here is extremely friendly and helpful. When I have questions or doubts I always find that my new friends here can help me over the rough spots! Right now, I am doing Basic Step/Body Fusion and I am getting ready to throw in Kick Punch...

Thankfully, my parents live about 5 minutes away so I try to get all five of them together on the weekends provided the weather is good. I think I am happiest when they are all together and we can play in the back yard. I have a rescue brindle named Tessie and then a fawn, Sophie. My youngest...

Gayle, Thanks for the tips on squats, but I am more interested in your boxer! I have two female boxers and my parents have three males. Grew up with them and would never have anything else! Love your picture and will be going to http://www.secondchanceboxer.com! Jennifer

Nancy Duex: Congratulations on doing 60 minutes of LIC—you go girl! I understand your disappointment when it comes to abs—I definitely have a weak core and if I try to keep up with Cathe when I do her ab workouts, I end up killing my lower back. I just try to do the ab exercises as long as I can...

Nancy Dos: Well, at least I don't feel so old now seeing how you didn't know any of the acts your daughter and her friends went to see. I've never heard of any of them so we make good company. Looking at both of the DVDs, I think the Rhythmic would be my first choice only because it has...

Nancy: Great job increasing your weights on the Pyramid Upper Body. I just finished my Monday routine with upper body using 5# weights and I can definitely feel the burn in my upper arms. I borrowed my mother's stability ball so I am excited to try using it later this week--will let you know how...

Bridget: I agree with Nancy. I always try to take at least one day off during the week to give my body a rest and while I feel some pangs of guilt, I always try to remind myself that I am going into a new week and vow to work hard on the days I workout. That's fantastic that you completed Low...

Nancy #2: I definitely will not be purchasing any of Cathe's DVDs with the name "extreme" or "terminator" in the at least for a while. Congratulations on working out today--Sundays are my off day to try to recoup from my week of workouts. Congratulations on finishing LM on 4" instead of just...

Bridget, I use to have a rather large collection of workout tapes and equipment and in one of my "off" years, I simply gave it all away, so now I have to start from scratch--although, there is something to be said for advanced technology. How do you like the high step? I see that it is used...

Hi Bridget, Nancy and Another Nancy, I've been sitting here at the computer reading a lot of the other posts and thinking that I must really be a wimp because I have simply started out with Cathe's Basic Step and Body Fusion. I am really new to the entire Cathe scene and found at my advanced...

Melissa, Thanks for the reply. I am just trying to determine in what order I should purchase my equipment. Makes me sick to think I had all of this stuff several years ago and in my state of mind several years ago I just got rid of it!! Now, I have to slowly build it back up so I can try to...

I am just getting started with Cathe after letting myself get away from exercise for the past several years. I purchased Basic Step & Body Fusion, Cardio Fusion and Cardio Hits to start out with. While I have the longer step and 2 1/2 pound hand weights, I have several questions about other...
