    January 08 Rotation Check in

    Good Morning All, I got up bright and early to do the Bonus Burn. Instead of the 40 pushups I did the "day 1" regular push ups with the Perfect Pushups. I did 8, then 6, then 4, then 2 regular width pushups using them. You are supposed to do them within 2 minutes. Later today I will do the...

    January 08 Rotation Check in

    Thanks for the welcome Kathy. It will be good to have this accountability. I tried out the perfect pushups tonight. I had already done 40 regular pushups this morning so it was very hard doing even a few with the perfect pushup things. I could really feel my arms and chest. I will try my...

    Just Had To Share

    I have been trying to decide on a couple videos to buy other than Cathe videos. I own most of them except a few older ones. I always pre-order them to save money and because I know I will just have to have them. I don't own any other instructors videos. So this hasn't been easy. Been...

    Need to Make a Decision--HELP!

    Thanks for the advice. I bought two 5 lb plates at Wal-Mart yesterday and used them this morning while doing squats and lunges for Muscle Max. I knew 40 lbs was getting too easy. 45 lbs felt just right. I still need to order the High Step Top. I am debating ordering the High Step Training...

    44 and "Think" I Am Pregnant

    RE: 44 and No problem Briee, I can't remember much these days either. And yes, it is so hard to wait. But if I don't test and my period doesn't start I still have hope. If I test early and it is negative, I think that's it--no baby. So I am going to try and hold out at least till the...

    RE: 44 and Hi Cheryl, So good to hear from you. I will never forget how you sent me all those videos when I was just getting into Cathe. Now I always buy them during the presale, because I know I will not be able to resist and would rather get the best price I can. I am hooked. Thank you...

    New Title for KICK MAX

    I just finished doing Kick Max. Maybe I should rephrase that. Kick Max just finished me. I think the title for that dvd should be KICK A--. I am sure you educated ladies can figure out what I am trying to say. Now for a hot shower and some breakfast. Cathe has outdone herself once again. I...
