I'm 55 and have known of Cathe since the early 90s; I did have her early Step N Motion VHS workouts. I was an instructor and went to a step seminar in North Kansas City to earn CEC's to maintain cerification. I learned how to teach step aerobics from Cathe! I have a booklet of combinations...

I'm 55 and have lost 70 pounds in the last year. I am post-menopausal and not on any HRT. What worked for me: Food- No sugar or processed carbs. Quality protein throughout the day. High fiber foods (I get in close to 35 grams/day) I only eat 1-2 starches/day. I focus on Veggies...

Thanks for posting! I ordered a pair and can't wait to try them...

Susan, I have the Troy Lite barbell and love it. I agree with Stacey...

Good morning, Susan I really love Pyramid upper and lower. The only drawback to Pyramid Lower is that I have to pause a lot because I'm a bit slower changing the plates on my barbell than Cathe and crew are. Pyramid upper is my favorite upper body at the moment; it uses dumbells so the...

Susan, I've enjoyed reading your posts on this forum. Hang in there, you are heading in the right direction! My doctor suggested I follow a meditteranean diet. I also get a lot of nutrition information from Cathe and her newsletter. As for the weights; I really push to lift the heaviest...

I can so relate. I've lost 60 pounds this year and have run into people I hadn't seen in a while and they always want to know what I'm doing. I learned after the first couple of times to just say, "I'm eating less and moving more" without going into detail. I figure if they're serious about...

I just turned 55 this past summer and have lost 60 pounds (under my doctors close supervision as I was starting to have high BP). I didn't think I'd ever be able to do Cathe again; in fact, I developed quite the attitude thinking that her workouts were just too advanced or crazy for someone my...

RE: Another Idea Just bumping this up as I'd like to see Cathe's response to this question. I took a while off and am now in week 4 of the "official" beginners rotation and was wondering the same thing. Thanks,

Hi Nancy...obviously not Cathe here... I would say any of the weight lifting vid's would be fine. Just start at a weight that is challenging for you. You might want to try some of the pre-mixes (if you buy DVD) first as these usually condense the workout. Check out the video clips here on the...

RE: So my curiousity has been piqued - What is it that ... I work at a high school as a Para Educator. I work with learning disabled and behavior disabled kids. I love my job as it keeps me around young people all the time. Plus, love having a couple of weeks off at Xmas, spring break and...

I have a beautiful little (and she is small)2 yr old Boxer Girl named Gimli. I also have a fat old cat named Muggsie..who hates Gimli, who can't understand why ANYONE would hate her. I also have my son's 1 year old yellow lab mix Maverick for the next year while he is serving in Iraq...

Hi Joy, Which Polar model do you have? I have a Polar M61 which has a fitness test (actually measures resting heartrate while lying down) that figures into the range (probably similar to the Karvonan method..if I spelled that right). What I found out by wearing a hrm is that I was being a...

Hi Lunacat, I would love to have a copy also: [email protected] Thank you so much! Sharron

I don't remember who recommended Freddy shoes, but I took a chance and I love them!! However, I noticed that when I ordered them they were on closeout. Does anyone else carry them? If not I will probably order another pair for later on. I'll wait and see how my knees and feet feel tomorrow...

RE: Also... The green 6' (or maybe it was the 5') is only $2.95 at FWonline.

I work in a HIgh School. I see this every day. These girls need to realize what happens when they sit down:( I've seen more butt cleavage and thong straps than I ever care to see. They also wear such low cut tops. I don't see how hormonal 15-17 yr old boys can concentrate!! Of course as...

Hi Mattea, I just did LowMax tonight. Whoa, are my legs fried. I sweat more tonight than I have in a long time (yes even Imax). It must be all those low moves using the quads and hams so much. I just finished three hours ago and my Glutes, hams and Quads are already screaming. It will be...

Thank you Carole and Nicole!! I just ordered a couple. A tremendous help!! Sharron

The dynaband in HC looks long. I could only find 3' and 4' online. I thought I read somewhere on here it was 6'. Where did you all find one that long? I was trying to estimate last night previewing Muscle Max, it did look longer than 4'. Thanks Sharron
