Step Jam and Step Max are my choices - though I love others too!!!

I am a New Balance gal. They run wide so I don't have the problem with sleepy feet like I do with other brands. I love their cross trainers (which I use for Cathe workouts) running shoes and walking shoes. For the last 8 years, I have been very happy with them. Debra:-)

This is hilarious!!!! I had a physical on 8/1. I made the appointment in June so I was dreading the weigh in. I lost a few pounds between June and 8/1 and weighed myself on my Healthometer scale, which weighs to the half pound, so I could see the difference to the Doc's scale. Well, my scale...

I have this tape but have yet to do the workout. I am working myself up to it. Congratulations!!!! Debra:-)

I always wear weight gloves when working out since my body and my hands perspire. I am never without them!!! Good Luck. Debra:-)

RE: I'm going to take a hiatus..... Super Sculpting for me today and I am pondering a walk, though it is very hot and humid. I think I have been staying w/in my points but confess I have been lazy about writing it down. By the way, someone here posted about Kettle Corn. I got some by Jolly...

Do you do the firm classics in a row with no rest in between? Haven't done Bodymax yet =- looking forward to it!!!! Debra:-)

RE: I'm going to take a hiatus..... I hope your surgery goes well. Take your time. Best of luck with the new job and exciting changes in your life. Debra:-)

Yes! It's really interesting to notice Cathe's body in Step n Motion and see it transform throughout the years. I think the most recent tape I have is Power Hour. I wish I took before pics back in November. My weight has not changed much (now about 131 - would like to lose 5 - but who...

All I can say is WOW!!! I am fairly new to Cathe's workouts. I have many of her tapes but just began stepping last month. I have done Step n Motion I, Mega Step Blast, Step Jam, Step Works and Step Max. I don't use any risers yet, however. This morning I did MIS. AMAZING!!! I really...

Hi Angela! I am a choral director on the high school level. I do alot of body work in my voice classes with the students (posture, breathing movement etc.) as a healthy and strong body makes for a lovely sounding group. I agree, it's easier to eat better during the summer - no daily...

I too am 5'5" and got down to 128 two years ago with WW. That actually was my normal weight however, we lived near a Ben and Jerry's which helped me achieve the all time high of 147!!! I have since been hovering 130-135. I was 139 at the beginning of the summer but fine tuned my workouts and...

RE: CJ Plan (a non-WW sanctioned way of doing WW) WOW! Thanks for all this info! I did WW 2 years ago and went from 146 to 128 in 4 months. I am 5'5", 42 years old and now weigh 133. I worked out on my Nordic Track most everyday when I did the plan and rarely ate my activity points. Since...

RE: Thanks to everyone! Wow!!!! The strength it took to make that change is incredible. There are no words to truly express my admiration. Hoping the next years bring lots of accomplishment and peace. Debra:*

I can't tell if she has had work done but I have a very big problem with those who sell their fitness videos to promote a healthy and stronger body having BODY work done. I don't care what is done to her face but I do have an initiative problem with an instructor who has had body work done...

RE: Slow & Heavy!!! I, too, would like to hear about your process. I am considering the Slow and Heavy Series but I have a fear of my lower body getting bigger and gaining weight instead of leaning out. I only have 5-7 pounds to lose and am in pretty good shape. You hear conflicting accounts...

"I find lunge backs from an 8 inch step to be tougher than step ups" Thanks! I'll have to try that!! ;-)

I am no expert but all the literature I have read about weight training discusses the value of taking breaks and changing it up. When I take time off from a workout (at least a week) I notice a change in my form and ability. I used to take rests but I am a big believer in them now. Good Luck...

You are a true babe!!!! What an inspiration. Deb:*

I want a healthy hubby too!! His problems are a bit different. He has had a fractured disc for the last 5 years and just had 3 back surgeries in the last 6 months. He is very anxious about getting back in shape and is quite jealous as he watches me work out. It's frustrating on both sides...
