Hi Cathe, I have been trying to keep my back in good condition and strong. Especially since I used to get such bad back aches when I was pregnant and not exercising. I do your BodyMax and PS strength training tapes. Of course I don't use as heavy dumbells or barbell as I usually do when I'm...

Thanks Cathe and guess what? My sister just had her baby! My sister is 9 years younger than me and it was fun both being pregnant together. She had Simon on April 27th and he weights 9 pounds 13 ounces and was 23 inches long!!! We have tall genes in my family! Anyway, we all held him and he...

Pushing the baby out I agree with Cathe and Sheila! The way I pushed all my babies out was with a slow exhale. It's almost like doing an ab crunch but with more force. I always exhale when I do an ab crunch. My sister just had her baby and she had to push for 2 hours. She had broken blood...

Hi Cathe! I am so excited about your new video's coming out!! They will come out right when I'm due. It will be so motivating to get so many great new video's from you. Since it's been 4 months since you delivered Eric, how is your exercise training going? Are you nervous about filming new...

Hi Cathe! I was hoping that you would put in floor leg work in the Crosstraining volume 6. I just love both the standing leg work and the floor work in Pure Strength Legs & Abs tape. The inner and outer thigh work with the 15lb bodybar is the best and toughest on video that I know of. I also...

Cory's Basic Sculpting I just wanted to add my opinion. I have both series and find them similiar in workout style. Of course Cathe's are top notch but I also like Cory's. Cory goes slower in reps so I can handle heavier weights. She does use dumbells and barbell so you don't need any...

Rockin' along with it I'm going on 26 weeks. The baby is kicking and moving alot! Especially when I do pelvic tilts on my hands and knees. I think he likes being rocked already. The morning sickness has passed but the tiredness and just plain pooped feeling hasn't gone. I am so breathless...

Inner thigh work I found that laying on my side and lifting my 15lb bodybar like Cathe does in Pure Strength Legs works the inner thigh really well. I rest the leg that is not working on a step or bodyball. What is it with this weight gain in the inner/outer thigh and butt?!! I get it too...

Twin pregnancy Since I was pregnant with identical twins(only one placenta), the nursemidwife said it was high risk so I didn't exercise during the pregnancy. I was very very nauseated. More than my other pregnancies(which is pretty bad too!). I had to lay on the couch all day and just try...

BOY! I just had my ultrasound today. It was so obvious that it was a baby boy. I'm really happy since my boy's are 7 and 9. My girls are 10,5 year old twins and 2 1/2. It will be fun to have a little boy running my life:)) I can also be like Cathe:))!! They moved my due date up to July...

Mandy Lee Hi! I had Lasik surgery last July and now I'm pregnant. Actually I got pregnant in October. I don't remember them saying to not get pregnant for 6 months. They only told me not to rub my eyes for 6 months. You can rub your temples which have the same nerve endings. I have 20/20...

Thanks:) Michelle, Thanks so much for your compliments!!! They made my day:)) My oldest daughter is almost 11 and she is a big help! Then I have a son who is 9 and another son who is 7. My twins girls are 5 and I'm so thankful they don't wear the same clothes or I wouldn't be able to tell...

Exercise is the best for stress!! I feel so relaxed and patient after my workouts. I also found that my pregnancy sickness is not so bad. I know about colicky babies. My twins were colicky. It was very hard and I remember anticipating my husbands arrival from work so I could go work out...

I fell in love with kickboxing last year and now that I'm pregnant, I am continuing my kickboxing and have had no signs of trouble. I was wondering how far along you did kickboxing Cathe or anyone else? When you balance on one leg and do a roundhouse kick, does your pregnant belly cause you to...

I just read your post and I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you! I have been miserably sick with my pregnancy and finally am seeing some change now that I'm almost 17 weeks. I am that rare woman that has more than the "norm". I am not Catholic or Mormon and alot of people ask me. I'm a...

Do a stretch tape If you feel guilty taking a day off then why don't you do a nice stretch tape. You will be doing something for your body and it will still be resting. This way you won't feel like you aren't doing anything. I know how you feel and that is what I would do.

Hi Cathe! I just wanted to let you know that I saw my doctor today and I'm 14 weeks along. I heard the heartbeat! Something about it really clicked in my mind and made me realize,"Wow! you really are going to have a BABY!" I have been so sick. No energy. The only thing that helped me get...

The long awaited details....Thankyou so much! I've been waiting to hear about Cathe's delivery! You are so sweet to spend your babymoon(like honeymoon-getting to know your new baby) time to share with us the birth story. What an amazing experience! Cathe sounds like she did a super job! Being...

A gift from Heaven:)) Oh Cathe! Words can't express how I felt when I first laid eyes on your baby boy! Tears just welled up. You look absolutely beautiful and are all aglowing. Your baby is perfect and thankyou so much for sharing your private pictures with all your fans. By the way, your...

I was reading Kathy Kaehler's book Real World Fitness and she said that when she was pregnant with her twins, she got so big that even her tongue felt fat. It took her 1 1/2 to lose all the weight. I know, it took me 2 years but I still feel I need to get to the lower end of my charted weight...
