    When that guy said that it was probably a compliment. At least that's the way I would take it. Or,maybe he was jealous that his weren't that great! Lynn }(

    Help - I have large calves.

    I, too, am a woman with big calves. But it has never been a problem for me. Since I was in high school, guys complimented me on my "great legs". My sister is a lean mean machine, but she has small calves... So, don't curse those great calve muscles, but use them for all you've got! There are...

    Francine, ? re:slim in 6 and Slim Series

    Hey! I did "Tear it Up" today and was already sore from doing a Cathe weight tape a couple of days ago. It was different in that the reps were much faster and thus I used much lighter weights (3, 5 and 8) but I did sweat a lot and felt like it worked the muscles in a different way. The...

    Francine, ? re:slim in 6 and Slim Series

    I just bought this series, and received them yesterday. I've previewed a couple of the dvds and will do one today. I love Cathe so much, but just thought I'd try something a little different to see if I can shake things up a bit. I hope to have good results with them. Lynn

    What's your fav body lotion?

    I also use Neutrogena's light sesame oil. I put it in a spray bottle and spray it on just out of the shower, before drying. My skin is so soft and silky! It's not expensive either. Lynn

    Kat, Hey, obviously I'm not Cathe (hehe) but I wanted to let you know I'd tried other step before and just felt like such a klutz and gotten so depressed about not being able to get "the moves".

    Do you have cathe's older power max step tape?

    Power Max was the only one of her older workouts that I never bought. When I traded all my VHS to buy DVDs I got rid of Step Heat and Step Fit. I recently bought the Classics DVD and after reading your post I did Power Max for the first time. It was really really fun! I, too, always enjoy the...

    As I was reading through these posts I felt my stress level rise as I read one post, then the other argueing her point, then back and forth... I felt like I was watching a literary volley over a net. I was really worried it might blow up into a huge fight. Then I just had to start laughing...
