    To gray or not to gray.

    I always say be your authentic self and do what makes you (and no one else!!) happy. I will never dye my hair and it is slowly going gray but I kind of don't have hair. I shave it down to almost nothing every 2 weeks. I've dealt with so many negative comments over the years. Yes, people will...

    Extra long boss bands are the best!

    Elsie, you and I are the same height but my problem is very long legs. I literally have a petite torso and tall legs. My legs are so long that they are often as long as or even longer than people 6 feet and taller.

    I actually did most of the workout Fit Sit metabolic conditioning

    Keep on trying! The sliding workouts are excellent low impact and so much fun. I think burpees and pushups are the best with sliding. I love Cathe's sliding workouts and wish she had more. As someone who cross country skis, the skating kind that is, the sliding is right up my alley.

    Extra long boss bands are the best!

    I have to write to say I finally was able to do Boss Bands Total Body as Cathe intended. I wrote before laughing at myself because I would try to follow what Cathe was doing in the dvd but sometimes was met with bands that maxed out and would not stretch any longer because of my height. I could...

    Video Clip Of Cathe's Functional Fitness Circuit Live Workout

    Yet another one that looks like it had a lot of different moves making me wish I had internet so I could do it! But what I really wanted to say is that Cathe, like the Olympic athletes I've been watching in the winter games, makes it look easy! She is amazing!

    Slow and Heavy Series still being used?

    I would highly recommend the Slow and Heavy dvd. Jane is totally correct in saying it is not out of date. I actually find that although I crave new workouts, doing some of the older ones just really make me feel like I'm visiting an old friend. I often revisit workouts that I may have had in...

    Invisible 50s

    I never saw this thread before but have plenty of thoughts. I have felt pretty invisible my whole life to everyone, although I don't hide. And I'm very much ignored by men. Now that I am 51 I realize I wish I could've told my young self never even try to look attractive because no one will...

    Circular yoga mat “slipperiness”

    I don't have the circular mat (still not big enough for me!) but I have extra wide and long yoga mats that I put together and yes, when they are new there is a sort of film that takes a while to wear off, even if you wash it as most makers will suggest. My older ones are perfect, but my newer...

    About My New Workout Series

    Hi Cathe, As always it sounds great and I will be buying it. I must admit I have never done STS. Not that I don't want to, but I haven't been able to do the time commitment it would require (and I haven't bought the series yet). The only other workouts I haven't tackled are the spinning ones...

    New Series??

    I will take any workouts she is willing to produce and this sounds great as always. Like she says "Embrace the challenge."

    I would love for you to make a foam rolling video

    I like this idea a lot. Perhaps it could even just be some dvd bonuses, like when she adds on an ab workout or longer stretch option.

    Workout cards?

    Hi KeriJ, I use the old classic: and a pencil and notebook. It works well, no technical problems to be had and it is fun to see at a glance how far I've progressed over the years.

    Favorite Water Bottle

    I like my Nalgene mountain biking water bottles. They are meant to keep the mouth piece protected from grit and grime but I use them all the time. Only downside is that they are easily knocked over because they are meant to sit in a water bottle cage. I've been using them for well over 20...

    Length of Boss Bands and Loops

    Hi tbess, you'll want to see what I posted under the new and upcoming workouts, "I'm loving the boss bands and loops premixes." I shared my experience with finding the bands too short. I, too, am 5'8" and my leg length is super long so I've had to make modifications. The Cathe administrator has...

    Sneakers for Plantar Fasciitis

    I've had a touch of plantar fasciitis in the past and found that a basic insert call Profoot works best for me. In fact, even though I no longer have the fasciitis, I found the inserts make a lot of my shoes fit so much better--they don't slosh around in them anymore. That being said I...

    Question about Cathe's future use of 'boss bands,' lack of use of blue loop in Boss Bands.

    Here's a thought for you--just because Cathe doesn't use the blue band in the dvd, doesn't mean you can't! I often use what Cathe suggests while learning a workout but then I switch it up for however I'm feeling. (I should sometimes share what I use to make the Lite Metabolic Blast workout...

    foam rollers

    I highly recommend foam rolling even though it can be painful which is usually a sign that something is very tight. I have a shorter softer roller which is great for my IT bands, especially when they are super tight. I also have a 36" harder roller which is a must have so you can lay on it...

    I’m loving the Boss Band & Loops Premixes

    All right! Boss bands for taller people! I think I am just at the beginning of the "taller people" range so thank you Cathe and crew for thinking of us taller than average folks!
