    Any Butt Testimonies?

    Hey Laura, I love this post. I always do the same thing, but its usually me flexing my biceps, it sounds so goofy, but I work sooo hard and just love to see those upper body muscles. I never had biceps or delts before so I am just so impressed with myself, even if nobody else is!! Now my butt...

    Finally posting....need ideas/Cathe

    (I just wont shut up, huh??) I lost 10 lbs but alas, Ive recently hit another plateau and had to bump up to working out 5-6 times per week (Ive been managing to get 6 in). Do I look like Cathe?? Not even close, but for me, I feel great, have energy up the ying-yang, and feel stronger than I ever...

    Finally posting....need ideas/Cathe

    Hi Becky. I had to read your post a couple times to see exactly what youre asking, so if I dont answer your questions, sorry. My first question is what Cathe tapes are you doing?? To me, it sounds like your on a plateau, which sucks, but if you want to change things you have to change what you...

    Opinions about step machines wanted please!!

    Hi Fitnik, I recently bought a step machine. Its a precor, gym quality. I bought it used at a fitness specialty store for $400. A bit pricey but as my friend always says "buy cheap, buy twice"! I really like it but its pretty intense so I like to do circuits alternating the treadmill with the...

    RE: Katie and Marnie! Catricia, What a great story!!! Hysterical!! You have a knack for writing. Too funny. But the WEIRDEST thing, is as I am reading your post, my cat jumped up on my lap and she NEVER does that while Im on the computer!! Ok, she just bit me and jumped down. Now, when I...

    PS - CTX difference?

    I agree. CTX is a great set. I just did them all last week. Plus, I believe CTX only does one body part per day (plus abs on a couple of them.) Also, has some GREAT core/stablization work. Judy

    Off Topic; Hair Woes

    These posts made me laugh! I have medium length blond curly hair and have had my share of bad cuts. I get so tired of the 'big hair" label that I get this stupid urge to cut it, and when I do it looks so queer and actually ends up looking bigger, like a big giant triangle head (and believe me...

    Glucosomine

    Just chiming in to say both my knees are bad and I started on Glucosamine after reading praises about it on this website. It has certainly helped a lot. I noticed an improvement in just a few days (and I was skeptical) but it usually takes longer. They still act up from time to time, especially...

    Using the Firm tall box with CTX Lenaer legs??

    does anybody do this?? I dont have enough risers to use the thingy Cahte uses, so can I use the tall box (or I think the Firm calls it something different Fannie firmer or something like that??) I havent used it in forever, I forgot how hard it is. Currently, its being used as a nightstand in my...

    Please rate the CTX , Circuit Max and Rhythmic Step Tape in terms of choreography

    I agree with Stacy. Im no dancing queen myself and find Circut max very intense and easy to follow. Rhythmic Step takes longer to catch on to. I just did CTX last week, I really like it but I suppose some of them are a bit trickier (however, they do expose you to a lot of Cathe's moves, so if...

You can click on the "salon" box along the top and it will give you salons near you that specialize in cutting curly hair. Now, if...

    Am i doing the wrong exercises for my body shape?

    Hi Donna, just adding my 2 cents. I guess I am a spoon shape, or pear, or whatever. All my problems are in my butt and thighs. I do lots of step and hi/lo and weight work and it has certainly NOT made my legs bigger. Its made them more defined and the dimpling (which is genetic and NOT our...

    nice to see all the recent positive posts

    Ya know, reading the "negative" posts just isnt worth my time responding to. After all, we are in this together. People dont have to agree all the time, but dont have to get nasty either. But I must admit, when somebody says something negative about Cathe, I feel like they insulted my sister, or...
