Also, outdoor cats kill birds I agree with SirenSongWoman's point that pet cats should be trained as indoor cats. I just want to add an additional reason to promote indoor cat-living: freeroaming cats kill millions of birds each year. I feed birds from a bird feeder high enough off the ground...

Keep a daily log of your positive achievements Jasmin416, I feel for your double loss (your job and your boyfriend). I agree with the others on this tread that you should keep positive and hang in there. I checked your CatheSpace, and you were in real estate. My close friend was in real...

Liking what one eats and exercize... Bestican, I can't give you any advice on parenting, since I do not have kids, and I don't realize the difficult tasks involved. I think that in order to lose weight, one must burn more calories than one takes in. There has been a large discussion of this...

Thanks for the advice and support... Thanks for the advice and support. I've taken notes of this thread, and will doing this video once or twice a week on aerobics days. -- David

I need help with "Low Impact Step" -- a DVD I just bought from Cathe. I have have a good number of basic step tapes, and I know all of the steps done while facing the TV, but I certainly have trouble with more complicated patterns. I have good stamina, but I have the grace and agility of an...

The STS User's Guide is a good bet Victoriash: The STS User's Guide may be your best bet. The standard rotation is three discs a week in order of the program, with one day inserted between discs. I plan on doing aerobics-only on the off days, with one day (Monday) rest. Pages 7-8 in the Guide...

For me is was the old "Step N Motion" VHS videos For me, I found Cathe way back when (1990?), from an early Collage Video catalogue, when they advertised her early "Step N Motion" videos. They're still great videos, if one can find them on the internet, and if one still has a VHS player in the...

The pyramid DVD is great, but so are S&H and others.. Jamn, To answer your question, I did both ends of Cathe's pyramid DVD (2/3s of each) in one session last week. And this is a good DVD for increasing strength. I also love the S&S DVD. And I used light weights, only increasing the...

Single -- and I get involved with many projects I am single (DNKs), and at first I was lonely, but as the years go by I have been getting used to spending my time alone. On the positive side, I do a lot of writing, and spending time alone is necessary to get creative ideas into one's head. On...

One tip to possibly save on Cdn duties... lori254 and bundschuh, One tip to possibly save on Canadian duties. Buy only one or two dvds at a time. Yesterday I received into my mailbox two dvds from Collage, and one dvd & STS users guide from Cathe -- all with no duties. But it may be that...

I simply love S&H Trixie(Nicole): I am in the midst of completing S&H, in preparation for starting STS -- and I simply love, love S&H! It's slow, patient, relaxing -- and as is said on this thread, the cueing and advice is superb all the way trhough. Plus, on my aerobics days, I sneak in one...

We should mentor the obese, if they are open to it A-Jock, carress1973, cakebaker, thank you for your comments concerning the mentoring of an obese young man "Brian". I agree that ultimately he is going to have to make the decision to take the big step forward to a healthy lifestyle. However...

I like Amy, and comments here convinced me to buy the video I like Amy Bento. She cuts against the grain of a typical exercize leader. She is not "dainty" -- and just looking at her one realizes they're in for a tough workout. Cathe won me over kickbox videos. She introduced a more...

How does one distinguish minor back pain from normal DOMS? I appreciate those on this thread who have already started STS training. I am still doing pre-STS Cathe videos, in preparation for a modified STS program later on this summer. My problem is this. I have been following advice from...

This is a quick question for anyone to answer. Today I did two sections from Cathe's Strong & Heavy series -- and as people know the crew does a short one minute rest after each set. After the S&H sections, I did my own series of pyramid sets (nine in all), of seated bodybar shoulder...

It's the man's hangup if he worries about being shorterl This is from a man's point of view, who is not all that tall. Way back when in grad school, I had a very close friendship with a young woman who was tall. (She had a tall father who was well known in Ottawa political circles). She is...

I agree: Cathe won me over to Kickboxing Cosmo Mom: I agree with you. I bought one or two kickboxing videos early on, but hesitated to buy any more since they were so tame, it was hard to break a sweat. But the kickboxing in "4-Day Split" won me over to that kind of video. Cathe's was very...

Convincing an obese friend to change his ways I appreciate the thoughts on this thread. I still agree with the AMA on this one, and that people have to make a brave choice to change their lives. Since I have been thin all of my life, and abstain from drinking, I probably have trouble...

Yes, but circuit videos with easier step routines Punka274, I agree. But what I would like to see are more circuit videos with easier stepping routines. I have two left feet and have trouble doing any recent Cathe step tapes. So I feel left out of Cathe's circuit tapes. One idea would be to...
