    I sold Low Max 2x and am now in love!

    I can't believe I actually bought and sold this workout 2x and now it's one of my favorites. Prior to January, I was a Firmie and was trying to branch out a little throughout the years. I heard so many rave reviews about Low Max but couldn't get the steps down. So I sold it. Then I bought it...

    Bare minerals

    I use Bare minerals foundation, but only after moisturizing and NEVER EVER use it under my eyes. I also use a cosmetic sponge to blend it in more for the pores on my nose. I get so many compliments about my skin. I do feel my skin has improved since using it. I don't get any breakouts...

    Advice needed (not about exercise).

    Since this was before the two of you....I think it's one of those things that you should just try to stop torturing yourself with. It's in the past and you should let it go. I wouldn't ask him about it, he's probably not very proud of it and feels it has nothing to do with who he is today. LET...

    Can I use anything else in the place of a high step?

    Many years ago I started working out with the Firm and did not have their "Fanny Lifter", pretty much the same thing has the high step. But, I did have an outdoor plastic snack table (with four legs) from Home Depot (cost about $8.00) that was pretty much the same height. It definitley held...

    Has anyone NOT received a Cathe catalog yet?

    I find it very helpful on an almost daily basis. I'm fairly new to Cathe (5 months), so I always refer to the catalog the night before my scheduled workout so I know exactly what to expect. Paula

    step complication

    I used to only do the Firm. But, prior to my firm days I did by a step bench that came with All Step (one of Cathe's older workouts) I remember trying it and totally giving up because it was way too complicated. I threw it in my basement and totally forgot about it. After becoming bored...

    Should I buy Cross Train Xpress DVD

    I am building my Cathe collection and want to be able to do almost any rotation without having to substitute workouts. I have almost all the newer workouts and was wondering if the Cross Train Xpress DVD was worth getting. I do have All Step on VHS and LOVE IT!!!!! What do you think? Should I...

    When do you steal time to work out?

    I also am a 5:30 am worker outer. It is truly the only time of day that guarantees me working out on an extremely consistent basis (5X a week). Although my kids are grown, I still can't imagine working out at the end of a long work day. I think it's because when I come home from work, it's...

    Step, Jump, and Pump

    I love both of these workouts....they are so much fun. The only thing I don't love though is Cathe's cueing. She cues on the move, rather than before....so it takes a few reps for me to "get it." But, they are soooo much fun.

    7 Day Eat Clean Challenge!!

    I've been eating healthy for quite awhile now, but not as clean as I'd like. I've been following The Eat Clean Diet for two weeks now (not 100%....more like 95%) for 2 weeks and feel fabulous. I really see a difference in how my clothes fit and in my energy level. But, I know there will be...

    The Eat Clean Diet by Tosca Reno...responses appreciated

    I bought Tosca Reno's book online at Amazon.com as many of you suggested. Let me begin by saying that I felt that it's time I really try harder to eat clean because I'm working my butt off working out!!!!! I want to look as good as I possibley can for the summer. Most people would not...
