    Any Cathe beginners?

    Today is a rest day for me which is good because I won't get in a workout - it's my brother's birthday so we are heading out for dinner and a family get-together afterwards. Bridget: Great job with Pyramid Lower Body and the 10-15 & 20lbs on the barbell! CONGRATS on losing 5.8lbs since...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Checking in with Muscle Max completed tonight. I liked the workout but think I went too heavy in some cases (usually I go light the first time through but I guess I figured this time I could do more LOL). I do like the workout. I got home later than usual so I decided to skip the Stretch Max...

    Checking in today with Low Impact Circuit Cardio Blast Timesaver premix. Love it!! And it was cool because I was able to do the whole thing - no breaks!! I can do all the step combos and blasts in the full workout but thought it might be harder when there is no rest (i.e., weight section) in...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Checking in with Cardio and Weights completed for the first time. It seemed easier - maybe that's because it is new or just different from the previous workouts (especially after the Pyramids). :) I did go lighter on the weights the first time through and I can definitely go much heavier next...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    It's very humid here today (looks like it is going to be for the next few days...ugh). So my energy is a little low and I'm staying inside with air conditioning. :) I hate humidity and really hot weather... I decided to switch up my workouts a bit so I changed my rotation around and try...

    LOST!!!

    I was disappointed in the finale but I was expecting to be. Normally I find when series actually have a chance to end, it's somehow doesn't fit or it's just not what you were expecting or hoping it to be. I liked parts of the finale but was disappointed in the sideways being "limbo" and them...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    So tired today - the weather is really getting to me (I don't handle hot/humid weather that well). I did Low Max intervals 1-4 because I didn't have energy for the entire thing and the blasts were harder than usual. Elle: The spa day sounds fabulous! Pam: I have no idea where my weekend...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Kind of quiet here - hope that means everyone is having a great weekend and having too much fun! Checking in with Pyramid Upper Body and segment #2 (stability ball) from Stretch Max. I increased my weights for the chest and back work and am thinking I might be a little sore tomorrow. I'm...

    Who was your gateway drug to Cathe?

    I started off with Gin Miller and step reebok and a few shows on TV (Gilad, 20 minute workout, Caribbean workout). I had heard of Cathe but always thought she was too hardcore for me - even though I never actually tried or previewed a workout. I went on to use the Leslie Sansone, Beachbody...

    Checking in with Kick Punch & Crunch and Stretch Max #3 (band segment) completed for the day...feels good!

    Hope everyone is going to have a great weekend! Just had to post that I reached my first weight loss milestone today! The milestone was to reach 200lbs and I dropped just below - 199.8!

    Grey's??

    I haven't been watching Grey's for the last couple of seasons and I just happened to turn on the TV last night and it was on. I was hooked! I missed the first 20 minutes or so but wow!

    Any Cathe beginners?

    I'm so glad it is Friday!! I was working from home today and they decided to close the office a little early for the long weekend (Monday is Victoria Day here in Canada) so even better! I didn't have to drive home. :) I'm so looking forward to having the extra day off. I'm checking in with...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    No workout today. I am definitely feeling not having a real rest day with all these crazy lower body workouts! I really felt too worn out so I decided to take a rest day today and just recover a bit. So I'm moving all my workouts out by one day. I'm suspecting that not getting enough sleep...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Checking in with Low Impact Step completely...barely! I always forget that it's probably not the best idea to do this workout the day after Pyramid Lower Body because I'm always so sore so it makes it harder. But it is done. Elle: Great job with Lower Body + Stretch Max #1!

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Checking in with Pyramid Lower Body. I know I'm going to be sore after this one again but it's good. I think I can increase my weights next time for the squats & plies which is good. Still having balance issues with the stability ball part but it is getting better. Elle: Great job with...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Checking in with Stretch Max completed today. That stretch always feels so good. Today has been a great day and am not looking forward to going back to work but at least it is a short week. Pam: Great job with Muscle Max! And you are going to do great with Low Max 4-7 tomorrow...I know...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Good morning everyone! I have the day off from work today which is nice and I'm definitely going to enjoy it. I think I might do Stretch Max this morning since it is my rest day - if I do it in the morning, that will give me enough time between it and tomorrow night's workout so it will be...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    Ok so I ended up doing Low Max today after all. I was going to take the rest day until I started thinking and realized it was like the past few days where I'm just feeling blah mentally - not physically. And I realized it was one of those times that if I continue to give myself an excuse (if...

    Any Cathe beginners?

    I was going to do Low Max today but decided to take the rest day today instead of tomorrow. I just kind of felt like I needed the rest day today but am looking forward to attempting Low Max tomorrow! Pam: Woohoo on completing Low Impact Step on a 6" step! I liked this workout right away...
