I often think I was born in the wrong era (and I don't belong in the past, rather, the future). However, there are a few things that make me consider myself very lucky to be alive in this day and age. Cathe would be one of them. Discovering her years ago has shaped my life (and my body!) in...

I just did Fit Split Legs and Glutes and was thinking that it would be a good pairing. I think it really works all aspects of your legs thoroughly and in a short time. It's tough!

I think this is an excellent idea for those who want to do your step workouts but are 'dance' challenged and think perhaps that doing a step routine is pointless for them. I struggle a bit but now with years of Cathe under my belt I do pretty well. In fact I'm finding I love the step workouts...

You are not the first person I've heard complain about this. Anytime they have to "feel around" for a vein is red flags and I know of many who complain that a nerve was hit. I would take that complaint to the place you had it done and never let that particular person do it again. They should...

Never underestimate the power of rest. I think you must have at least 1 rest day a week. If you don't, I liken it to not getting the right amount of sleep. If your body doesn't have any downtime it will break down and yes, your workouts will become counterproductive. Over the years I've read...

I've worn out my Cathlete shirts (they are now used for gardening). I would love it if more became available.

What type of workout is best for losing fat? That is easy: the one you will actually do. Of course what you eat helps as well.

I too love the latest PHA workout. I've been working long hours so I've been doing it as the 1/2 hour timesaver (1st half or 2nd half on different days). I really love to up the weight and make it much harder when doing the shorter sessions. I do hope she does more PHA on dvds since I can't...

If you can search we've had this discussion before and you may find it helpful. I've always used cross trainers for Cathe workouts on carpeted and smooth floors. Remember pure walking or running shoes will not give you lateral support and tend to catch on carpet. I never recommend a...

Here's an idea. Donate them to your local library so someone can "discover" them and maybe we can get some new Cathletes!

I just pre-ordered Perfect30. When Cathe says "new series" I'm totally there. No thought needed. (Just had to wait for my overtime paycheck). I never have any doubts that it will be something I like or use. In fact, the only dvds I haven't bought are the spinning ones but someday I will get...

PHA 3 is definitely advanced and yet I think there are a few things I can up the challenge on. I think Step Sync is advanced choreography but I use it as a more intermediate workout cardio wise just to loosen up the muscles and get the blood flowing, (not to mention it is fun). IMAX 4 is kind...

I'm so glad Cathe is going to do her own bands again. I find that after years of working out with her it is easiest to gauge what I can do in comparison to what she can do. That goes for not only weight but band use. Unlike weights however, bands to eventually wear out and/or stretch out. I...

In the past I've had tennis elbow and even golfer's elbow for quite awhile. I used the simple saying "if it hurts don't do it" and that rest proved to make all the difference. It takes patience . . .

I did the first 2 combos of Step Sync and they are totally doable the first try. Yeah, I missed a few things but after years of doing Cathe you can pretty easily follow her. She is so clever to put a few familiar things in there so you don't feel like a complete fool! And yes, abs stacker is...

I think I will tackle Step Sync the way I've started to do IMAX 4, in parts. I find that being somewhat challenged in the "dancy" department I like to do her timesaver premixes first to help me learn the footwork. I did the first half of IMAX 4 yesterday to fair success (it is more athletic so...

Any program that advocates NOT doing something that is proven to be good for us (that is exercise) sounds fishy to me. I would be very wary of something like this. What will they come up with next? You wouldn't go with a program that advocates no sleep would you? Or how about no green...

Speaking of flexibility--it doesn't only apply to doing yoga and stretching. What you in your daily life and workouts matter. At 49 I'm way more flexible than when I was 29. It helps to stay flexible when my job has me moving more as opposed to standing at a work bench. I find low impact...

I would see someone who can evaluate your posture, alignment etc. Quite frankly your symptom is so vague it could be anything. If I said that I have the same problem but it is in my right foot around my heel you might assume it is a foot problem. Actually I have problems with my right hip...

If the workouts were easy we wouldn't see results! I continue to find push ups difficult after years of doing them. They may not be my "thing" but I still do them. As Cathe says "embrace the challenge."
