    1st visit to OB....not impressed

    http://www.thecathenation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=235328 the thread is above. Laura also gave a link to a fabulous web site and from that source, I found Clapp's book in the references for an article. I can't thank her enough as well. Exercising Through Your Pregnancy by James Clapp...

    Elliptical or Treadmill

    I agree with Nancy 100% on all points. Just wanted to add that running on the treadmill tends to burn more calories than the elliptical, although both tend to overestimate, the latter a little bit more (for mileage as well). But again, as Nancy also highlighted, which one will you like better...

    Any one here going to start STS

    I am pretty sure Cathe or SNM responded somewhere and mentioned it is not recommended for pregnant women....I am trying to conceive and remember being bummed about possibly getting it and not being able to use it based on reading the response, but then I perked up when I realized it would...

    GS Legs!

    I bought this at the road trip this year. I had been doing Butts n Gutts, PLB, and Legs and Glutes. I figured I had enough leg workouts, but then did Cathe's lower body class live and decided one more couldn't hurt. Needless to say, I thought I was in good shape, but um, boy was I wrong. I...

    Thanksgiving workouts?

    I always try to get in 90 minutes of cardio on holidays to make up for the extra calories I might eat...I don't go overboard, but I confess my weakness for pumpkin pie :-) Thinking an oldie but a goodie - MIC with 4DS Bootcamp minus the workout tacked onto the end....

    Plantar Faciistis

    Hi Alex, I too have plantar fasciitis. I tried to do lower impact exercises, but it didn't really help and I am a high intensity cardio junkie/runner so each day that I did less or tried to stop killed me :-) I went to a podiatrist and honestly it was the best thing I ever did. I know...

    Downloadable MP3s from Workout Soundtracks

    Not exactly a DVD suggestion, but definitely something I would buy - ideal scenario would be a library/catalogue of all tracks used in cathe workouts - well, maybe just since the intensity series, with the ability to select and choose individual songs for purchase/download. I love alot of the...

    Cathe - Paragon Sports Partnership

    So excited to hear about the partnership with Paragon Sports, particulary since I work in Union Square .... whoo-hooo! Bummed that I missed a chance run-in with Cathe to shower her with deserving praise and gratitude as one of my heroes (I assume this was the business trip she mentioned to...

    OT - Halloween Costumes for the office

    super 70s......I am going to be Mrs. Roper from Three's Company this year, so that is the first thing I thought of: Jack, Mr. Roper, Mrs. Roper, Chrissie, Janet, Lana, and/or Terri/Cindi :-) These are easy costumes to put together as well - you may have some stuff or it would be cheap to get!

    Cathe bands

    Yes, my Cathe logo wore off too ... I like the bands, but I find they are harder to grip than dynabands when you are working up a good sweat and aren't wearing gloves....bit more slippery

    Fit Mommies to Be Sticky Not Working Since Migration

    Hi SNM - Can you help? Similar to the link for Cathe's rotational posts, the old link summarizing general exercise guidelines for newly pregnant mommies has disappeared. I checked the archives (albeit quickly) and could not find it. Can you replace the link in the existing sticky post or...
