    Lifting barefoot

    It seems like a yoga mat would work. I have a couple of barefoot workouts and my extra large yoga mat is perfect.

    Kickboxing

    Cathe's most recent one from the LiTe series, Rev'd up Rumble, would be an excellent choice. I don't think it is too complex to follow.

    About STEP SYNC

    I admit I don't "love" choreography--I'm much better suited to more athletic type moves. However I do embrace the challenge because it is a workout for my brain! (And luckily I've done enough Cathe step for at least some of it to be second nature.)

    Tinnitus - has anybody ever had this?

    Funny fact. When I went through a really bad episode (I know due to stress) I had a hard time even watching a bit of television because the sound became distorted. What I found I could watch that actually made me feel better were episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation when they were on the...

    Tinnitus - has anybody ever had this?

    I've had the same problem on and off for years--mostly due to grinding my teeth (yes I wear a guard to protect my teeth). It would get worse with stress but then just disappear. This time the noise in my left ear has not disappeared for over a year now. I never tell my doctor as I've heard...

    A testament to the effectiveness of Cathe workouts

    I recently read how someone wasn't sure about Cathe workouts because there aren't before and after photos. I understand that sort of thing draws people in but I started Cathe in 2008 when I saw her on Fittv and have been an avid Cathlete for years now. I find her workouts to be the best...

    What to do next

    How a bout giving those glutes and hips a rest? Sounds like they need it! Concentrate more on your upper body and abs but listen to your body and don't over train. Good luck!

    How did you find out about Cathe?

    I had been trying to find alternatives since running has become problematic (this was when I was in my 30s). I had done some Tae-Bo and then discovered FitTv. I started trying the Cathe workouts they had and have been stuck on her since! Just imagine, I thought I was in shape and started...

    What did you all order?

    Dvds only per usual. Never do any of the other stuff. I still don't have computer or internet at home. Too expensive and really not interested . . .

    Lost all my healthy mojo

    I think the saying is that is takes 3 weeks to form a habit (good or bad). I find that sometimes an illness knocks me back because it seems to be so easy to lose those healthy habits (much harder than to form those habits). You quickly get used to the routine of not working out. Other times...

    Older - Low Impact Step was so much fun

    I love "old" workouts. It always seems that there is a focus on new, new, new (and not just in the realm of workout dvds). I often take out older workouts and but them in my current rotation. It is kind of comfortable to visit familiar workouts that you've always enjoyed but can also make you...

    Help Me Pick a Series

    As someone who gave up running and discovered Cathe I can tell you, though I love all her workouts, the one series that I felt I made the most gains (strength and cardio) was Xtrain. And I think that is one that I go back to a lot. So that is the one I would most highly recommend. You'll love it!

    HELP!!

    Looks like you need to start forming new habits which takes time. I would start by doing workouts that speak to me. It won't work if it doesn't interest you. If you think things look a little stale maybe try something new. If you make the monetary investment in maybe a new dvd, new workout...

    Best workouts for working out anger/stress/sadness

    I find to deal with the really tough stuff like anger and grief I need something that I REALLY have to concentrate on. What I discovered is rucking which is taking a weighted pack and just walking or doing a modified run with it on trails. The concentration needed to insure my safety while...

    Newbie need help!

    Just an idea for you--do some measurements, not just hips, waist, and bust but calves, biceps, thighs etc. Your body composition may be changing (firmer, toner) but the scale may not be. How do your clothes fit? They are often a good indicator. And remember, if a workout is feeling very...
