Cathe, as someone who has many of your videos and love them, I also weighttrain traditionally. I would love to strictly do your vids, but find i cannot lift as much to maintain the muscle i have due to cardio restrictions. I cannot catch my breath if I were to lift what I normally would. How do...

Hi Pinky! I think you've given me every bit of info I've needed to get started and stay with Cathe!! I have a home gym, so for me to run back to trad. training is too easy!! But I love the TV competition, and I love Cathe! I was actually thinking I could use my leg press machine when Cathe does...

Wow! you're a gem Pinky. Thanks for such encouragement!! Monday can't come soon enough! You explained things very thoroughly, I understood exactly what you wanted to get across. You are quite articulate! Thanks! Now of course I have a question, I've noticed that in your endurance training week...

Hi again! Thank you sooo much for taking the time to show me your workout plan! I do have the CTX-UB and PH, I actually have most of Cathe's vids except her older ones. I do have a couple of questions though, when you talk about your cardio, you mention you do a cicuit style training, what do...

Hi Pinky! Thanks for so much for the specific info. I have one question, when doing PS, and S&H did you do them once a week? You know where there divided into 3 vids? M W F? How did you put together your routine? I remember doing the S&H for awhile, I'm sure I gave up early, and because I was...

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I've been around! I've been in and out of training, mostly trad. weights, but I've kept Cathe around for my cardio!! I miss her weight vids, but always seem to lose muscle mass because of the tempo, I cannot lift what I would with just trad. training. I...

I understand Cathe went on vacation, so thanks to all who responded. I agree, my guess is you are using all of your body weight, it makes sense to me. I'm 5'5" and a 12-14 inch step is good, and adding weights, like you susanz, is not very often! I basically just use body weight and squeeze! Now...

I absolutely love stepups, and definately NEED to do them, I use a 14" step, which is right where I need it to be. I'm curious as to what pecentage of my body weight is being lifted? Could you give me the info. on pushups as well, both knees and military style? I go away for the summer and am in...

Hi Cathe or an experienced rotator, I am currently doing a strength rotation using the PS series and then onto S&H, I started PS chest on Mon. tomorrow PS back and Fri. PS legs. Next week Mon. would I repeat the same rotation or start perhaps with back, then onto legs and chest on Fri? Thank you...

Hi everyone! I just bought the upper bod ctx and have the lower bod on my b-day list along with S&H, (2 more weeks), Are these, ctx, considered strength or endurance, and with that question in mind, what should I use for my leg day until I receive the ctx lower bod vid? I have the PS series...

RE: Let me spend your money for you . . . Hey Annette, I would love to invest in those vids, BUT can you really see good results working a body part once a week? Of course I ask that knowing the poundage would not be as heavy as I have been lifting once a week. Intensity is bottom line yes? Go...

RE: Encouragement is on the way Thank you Annette for responding so quickly! On the BFL you rotate upper and lower body, alternating days, one week lower 2ce and upper 1ce, the next week, upper 2ce and lower 1ce. The other 3 days were cardio, high intensity for 20 mins. It is based on a...

Good morning everyone! I need encouragement today, I am coming from the BFL program and did well but too much "bulk" with some bodyfat that doesn't seem to want to move, anyway I want to get back to Cathe but I can't lift anywhere near what I could with BFL therefore I am getting that "gel" look...

Hi Cathe, thank you for such a quick and thorough response. Fitness info. can be so confusing, and as a reader who wants to get my hands on everything to do with fitness, one can overdose!! I have trad. weight trained and the philosophy is a little different than video training, I'll get it. My...

Good morning to everyone! I did Power Hour yesterday and loved it! I felt so good after finishing. I have one question though concerning this and other Cathe vids, do you apply the same rules for vid weight training as you would with traditional training, such as increasing poundage? Rule of...

Thanks for the response jillybean, that is all I needed to hear. I also am wondering what others, maybe yourself, have done if you have lifted heavy in the past then turn to do Cathe, which I absolutely love, but cannot lift the same amount of weight due to cardio, breathlessness. Now I know to...

I have read in different sources that a muscle should be "hit" every 5 days to see any kind of difference? I've noticed Cathe, with the PS series, and the Slow and Heavy, you hit the muscle once a week of course not again for longer than the 5. My question is, are your workouts based on...
