    Please tell me about Rhythmic Step

    I have been wanting to purchase this DVD for quite some time but now that it's on sale I REALLY want it! I have read many times it's "dancy" and was wondering if it bothers any of you out there with knee issues? I often modify for lower impact but I'm wondering if there is a lot of twisting...

    What food fills you up the longest?

    I have noticed I only stay full if I eat at least 400 nutritious calories in a sitting for a "meal". My two favorite breakfast choices are 1) Greek yogurt (my favorite is 0% Fage) with a banana, pine nuts and cinnamon, and 2) oatmeal with skim milk, berries, walnuts and cinnamon, then I mix...

    4 Day Split - First time out...

    I'm doing this rotation now and loving it! I have had this set for about a year I think and sadly have mostly only done the kickbox/core portion. I had done Boot Camp and Low Intensity Step and a few of the weights but with this rotation I am realizing how much I have missed out! It is an...

    Anybody there? Come shout out a quick HI

    Hi Cathe! Don't know if you're still around?? I'm doing your 4 Day Split Rotation and loving it!! Quick question: Recently I've noticed when doing the chest press exercises with dumbbells when I push up it feels like my left elbow needs to click or pop. Does that mean I'm lifting too...

    finding a hair stylist

    I have also found stylists by asking friends and even people who I see with a haircut I like. But I've learned the hard way that the person's hair has to be similar to mine (very fine and limp:confused:). It is also helpful to take a picture for the stylist. I have also gone online to read...

    Halloween Trivia

    I would bet it has a lot more calories than we think, so I'll say 180. And no honey! Does anyone bite the colors off one by one like me? That's the only way I eat it!:o:)

    What's one of the nicest things someone's told you about yourself?

    It's fun reading about everyone's warm and fuzzy moments.:D Sometimes the nicest compliments come from the people you least expect. A neighbor once said when I was pregnant with my fifth that if anyone could handle it I could. That was music to my ears at a time when mostly I was hearing...

    Cathletes - We're going to Disney World

    This sounds like SO much fun! My 7-year-old idolizes Mickey Mouse and lives for anything Disney! (He has Down Syndrome.:)) He thinks your DVDs are pretty cool too, Cathe! ;) It has always been my dream to take him there, and how fun it would be to combine it with my first road trip! Hope we...

    Gym Style Series - considering buying

    I don't think I had even noticed that. Just wanted to add, beware of the calf exercises in GS Legs! Whenever I do them I can't walk for days, lol!:p Is it just me?! I love it though!:D

    Gym Style Series - considering buying

    I do not have STS, but I love the GS series. I first bought GS Legs and waited awhile getting the other two. Once I got them I regretted not getting them all together. I would definitely recommend all three! As for IMAX 3, I just downloaded it this morning. (It's on sale:D in case you...

    You are a good mom. :) Forts rarely stay up in our house longer than a day and when they have sleepovers I get antsy if I can't get down to the basement for my workout by 10am! :(

    So, just out our curiosity, what did you decide? I purchased it last night and can't wait to try it. :)

    Is it just me?

    After reading this, I couldn't help but think you were referring to my reply to your post. If so, when I said "2yo" I was referring to my 2-year-old. I am also from the generation that does not abbreviate. Honestly, I think after texting and internet forums it has become a habit. :o I'm...

    Pure Strength--should I?

    Sorry I don't have any advice. Just wanted to say I put this in my cart this morning for purchase! I was thinking of getting it recently, then when I noticed Cathe included it in her October rotation it convinced me to buy it. :D

    Help finding gift for 2 year old newphew

    That is very generous of you! I haven't met a 2yo boy who doesn't love Thomas the Tank Engine. All my boys did at that age (including my now 2yo). They used to sell a set in the shape of an 8 that came with three train cars. The parents wouldn't feel pressured to add on to the set, and it...

    do i need a lot of room?

    I don't have a huge amount of space but I make it work. I also never thought I would use a barbell when I first started Cathe's workouts, but I decided to try one from a second hand sporting goods store to see if I would like it. I am so glad I bought one because I started seeing more results...

    these office fundraisers are killing me

    I would be upfront and explain that she is a good friend and you would love to be able to help out, but you just can't afford it. As others have said, if she is a true friend she will be understanding. She would probably feel terrible if she knew you were doing it out of guilt and would prefer...

    breakfast for kids

    I was going to ask you if she likes yogurt. I often eat plain Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts for breakfast because it is so filling. Unfortunately my older kids prefer the kind with more sugar, but my 2yo loves it! I think because he sees me eating it. It's also really good with oatmeal...
