    Simply cannot do squat thrusts (Burpees)

    You all know how to make a guy feel so much better!! Glad to know that I'm not alone. I hate not being able to do something that I think I should be able to do, and it does take a good many failures to make me realize that it's just not going to happen, and I'm finally at that point with this...

    Good morning everyone! Bev, you hit the nail on the head...you will be getting ready to lace up with Cathe...not me!!!! Just happily watching, thank you very much! Kate, you look fantastic!! It's great that you're keeping up with your workouts, and being smart about modifying them...

    Simply cannot do squat thrusts (Burpees)

    By the time I do one, and literally pull myself back up into proper alignment, Cathe is on to the next exercise. It's simply not worth fighting with myself to do these, and I'm probably doing more harm than good by trying to force these, so I'll be passing on those.

    Simply cannot do squat thrusts (Burpees)

    The only way I can do this exercise is to place my hands on a high step. Without the step, I simply cannot place my hands to the ground without losing form, this despite tightening my core. My core is probably in better shape than it has ever been, and I still can't do them, I am starting to...

    I don't have 4DS, so it was original. I had severe pain in both calves during jumping jacks, I am trying to figure out why, I was able to do jump kicks, running in place, and lateral hops all without discomfort. Any of you guys have any ideas?? I can usually tolerate a little burning, this time...

    Bev, Cathe's gym is about one hours' drive north of me. With the exception of the gym and the immediate area, I'm not too familiar with it. It's about 20 miles outside of Philadelphia. I've never heard of the two stores you mentioned, maybe someone else can help in that regard.

    Good morning!! Regarding the use of hand weights for KB....I wouldn't recommend it, you are already giving your arms an effective workout without the added weight, you're only risking injury, IMHO. I've been KB'ing for close to 10 years, only used handweights once, and could really feel some...

    Changes in fitness regimine since joining Cathe??

    Has working out with Cathe changed the way you work out at all?? It sure has for me. If someone had told me a year ago that I would own a pair of heavy Bowflex dumbbells, I'd have thought them crazy, but my Cathe experience has made me actually enjoy my weight training workouts. I will always...

    Bev...yes I live near the beach in Cape May, but I don't do my fitness walking on it, I do it in home...I'm just not one of those people who enjoy exercising outdoors. I do enjoy walks with DW on the beach, however!! I agree, Kristi that walking is very underrated, I did Leslie Sansone's 5...

    Just completed my 5 mile walk, followed by Stretch Max without the ball, not Cathe-style intense, but more than good enough to work up a good sweat, and a good appetite.....LUNCH TIME..:9

    Good afternoon, all! Muscle Max kicked my butt today, big time!!! I'll be at the Friday step class, but only to watch, if I feel the need to do something, I'll use the treadmill or something. Tomorrow is a 5 mile walk, and possibly vacummax, if I feel the floor needs a workout!

    Thanks, Kristi...I thought I was on an island when it came to not caring so much for yoga...I really, really, wanted to like it, because of it's benefits, but the fact that I just didn't care for it would put me in a worse mood for popping the tape in, thereby negating the effect it was supposed...
