    Hula Hoops

    I have a weighted hula hoop on my wish list because I loved using them as a youngster (I had a hula hoop with a "bee" in it so it buzzed as I used it) and a few years ago tried one that a coworker had. I do not doubt it helps with strength and flexibility but also with coordination. The...

    Cathe Live Subscribers Please Read

    Best wishes on your recovery, Cathe! I've been worrying about this very thing happening to me since I started having really bad flashers last fall. I'm constantly on alert but do know, like you did, to get treatment right away. What is the saying? "Life happens when you are making other plans"...

    Boss Bands Difficulty Level? Like/unlike other band workouts?

    Hey CanadianCathelete I have an idea for you: up your weights and something like LITE's Strong Body Stacked Sets won't be only for light days. I do that with other workouts in the LITE series and ICE series. If I had my notebook with me I could give you an idea of what I do. At any rate I...

    Boss Resistance Bands work your muscles in a very different way than free weights do

    Forum administrator, I love your biased opinion. As part of the Cathelete community you can say I'm biased too--I rarely find any other workouts I want to do other than Cathe's. She IS that good! No convincing needed for me. The only series I don't have is STS but it is on my wish list and I...

    BOSS Bands, Loops, DVDs & Downloads Pre-Sale

    I don't care about shipping at all. I think whatever Cathe is offering is an excellent price anyway so I'm more than happy to pay for shipping. Just order ordered my both dvds and both band sets combo. It'll give me something to look forward to this summer (I'm not a fan of summer weather so...

    Announcing Cathe's New Workouts & Boss Bands & Loops

    Thank you firemedic! I decided to come back to the Cathe forums before I finish my once a week internet time and saw what you posted and it worked. I've never clicked on the apps and tools and sure enough the background showed a nice long peek at what to expect.

    I've always wanted to go to Banff. The nature backgrounds are always my favourite.

    41 year old problems

    Just a thought for you, age might not really be the factor. For example I had sciatica after getting hit by a car at 19. I think in general as our bodies constantly change not only because of age but all the other factors in our lives. Yes, doing something for only 1 year versus 10 years will...

    Perfect 30 Flexibility - how often?

    I had more thoughts on this subject recently because this time of year I stand at a work bench 6 days a week and it is so hard on the body and as much as I try to move (butt kicks, anyone?) as I work it is not enough. I think movement is everything. Your body is kind of like a car engine--it...

    Covid in USA

    Reading Elsie's account of how it has affected her (and yes my heart goes out to you Elsie) just highlights that there are people who have had a horrible time of it and remain extremely concerned yet we have people who claim hardship and throw temper tantrums just because they are asked to wear...

    Perfect 30 Flexibility - how often?

    Just a thought: to maintain and foster flexibility I would think is a daily thing, right? Kind of like eating and sleeping well and the cliche of "if you don't use it you lose it." If for some weird reason I don't stretch in a day, it just don't feel right and I get stiff. I'm sure you...

    Covid in USA

    I live in Maine so it took a while before the pandemic reached us but yes it is here like everywhere else (just a side note: people, for some reason, think this state would be so much safer so they've been creating a real estate boom here). Unfortunately, as much as some of us support and help...

    Mom Jeans!

    Like fit deb, I HATE cropped jeans. Growing up we always referred to pants that were too short as flood pants. I get frustrated when my short legged coworkers complain that their pants are too long. As I point out, they can at least hem them to the perfect length!

    Mom Jeans!

    As a short torsoed, extra long legged woman the mom jean is the exact opposite of what I need. I don't need my pants around my rib cage! It wasn't until I was about 40 years old that I discovered Athleta made a pant that fit me to a t. Of course they've stopped making them. Luckily I bought...

    High Impact Hiit is a HIT!

    I've done this once so far and thoroughly enjoyed it. I hadn't previewed it so I had to hesitate to watch a few of the reps so I knew what I was doing but that usually happens as I learn the whole set. It is actually kind of funny because I have to plan where I do some of the exercises since...

    Perfect30 Perfect HIIT Low Impact

    I did this without previewing at all and found it exhilirating! (I know I spelled that wrong) I love all the different moves. Sticking with Cathe, you get to know her style but as familiar as some of it may seem she always puts new twists into what appears to be simple moves. I was very...

    Perfect30 Perfect Pump Lower Body

    So I did the workout again and went heavier so I'm feeling some results today. It is awesome with the heavier weight and I was breathing hard with the effort. Since I did 50 lbs instead of 40 I just had to use both hands at once. For the exercise where you lift with one hand, place the weight...

    Mobility Workouts!!

    Here are a couple of ideas for you: look into Ellen Barrett Fusion Flow and Peace Love Cardio dvds. Also Petra Kolber has one called Liquid Grooves. I don't think they are specifically called mobility workouts but in my eyes they qualify. I'm usually strictly a Cathe girl but I do these...
