I use the fanny lifter for Cathe's workouts also. So far I have had no problems using it, but I don't have the new ones (HSTA) yet. But I heard there is cardio on the high step, that would seem to be a little unstable. But for her other stuff, you should be fine. I am 5'8".

Hi, congrats on your future arrival! My baby is 3 mos. old now. I started using Cathe's tapes at 3 wks post pardom. I started back very slowly and by 6 weeks was working out regularly. At 3 wks, I was doing PUB/PLB, PP, part of Imax 2, KPC - but I wasn't really consistent until 6 wks...

Don't mean to be corny, but your workouts really are the best and make my day so much better. A lot of days I don't feel like doing the workout bec I know you are going to kick my butt. But then I put it in and I get psyched. The rest of the day I feel so much better and stronger. I have...

I used to ask for a hot/boiling cup of water (like for tea) and ask them to not fill it too high. Then you just place the jar of veggies in the cup for 1-2 minutes and it will make the food warm. I also have given my baby oatmeal or rice this way. Pack with you some formula and spring water...

Thanks everyone for your posts. It does make me feel better to know that it is pretty common for the fat to be going all on my hips and butt. I had a great workout yesterday and it really helped me out. I wrote out a calendar of all my workouts I plan on doing, I think this will help my...

Hi, this is my 2nd pregnancy and I was exercising faithfully 5 days a week before the pregnancy. Now I am 12 wks and have only been exercising 1-2 x a week due to fatigue and terrible nausea. My problem is, my hips and butt are growing fast!!! And I am getting upset. I know I have to...

Hi, my son is 14 mos. now and I think it is normal for your body to be different now. You might be at the same pre-preg. weight, but you might have more fat and less muscle in certain areas - like the stomach. I am at my prepreg weight now, but I have a lot more muscle than I used too. I...

Hi, can someone advise me on the rotation. I have never done a rotation before. thanks.

Who took home the 20.00 bill? If Tom took it home, I would just let it go and never mention it again. If your husband took it home, I think I would just let that go too (but sometimes that is easier said than done). Obviously there was some confusion and it is not worth breaking it down. I...

I have been using Cathe for a couple mos. now and I LOVE the workouts. I just got CTX dvd and I am starting a rotation with that. My question is, how long do you guys stay on a rotation? I was thinking of doing CTX for a couple of weeks and then do the Intensity series for a week or 2. Or...

Hi Jen, I think the ultimatum is a bad idea too. However, if I was in the situation, I would not play house. I would not buy a house with him and I would not do that many sleep overs. That way, he will realize that if he wants to live with you and be with you every night he has to step up to...

The message is on a small piece of paper, about the size of a business card - probably easy to miss. Btw, I am in NH. I checked Google too, and couldn't find anything. But they use balls similar to these in birthing rooms and classes, so I am not sure what this note was about.

Hi, I just bought one of those giant body balls so that I can use it for Cathe's PUB/PLB. I bought the Reebok Pilates ball (65 cm) at Kohls. I open it up and there is a small piece of paper with this on it: WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause...

Hi Marci, I am not pregnant right now. But reading all your posts makes me want to be! I bet that is why you are showing so early this time, is bec your youngest is only 8 mos. It takes so long for your body to recover. I have only had one (14 mos. ago) but I feel like my stomach has some...

Hi Lisa, I know exactly how you are feeling. I felt the same way about 12 years ago. I was also bulimic, for a short time. I am completely recovered and have the best body image I have ever had. Here is what helped me to live a normal life and not let my life revolve around food. I, like...

Hi, I know what you mean, bathing suit shopping can be torture! You think your starting to look really good, then you put on the bathing suit - and turn around to get a peek at the rear view!! I gave up on bikinis. I think they look good on me from the front, but the backside just is not...

Hope your injury heals soon. At least you can still do cardio. I would start walking daily if I was you. You can keep in good shape by speed walking and you can loose weight that way also. You can do squats and lungs still, but don't hold weights while doing them. It is important to not...

Hi, this must be so hard for you. I think Sabine gave you some great advice. It sounds like he is addicted, and addictions don't just stop without help. The big problem is, that he has to be the one who wants help. You can tell him he needs to stop, but it won't matter unless he really...

Thanks for all of your replies! I bought CTX DVD this morning, but now I feel I have to get the Pyramids. So I will probably sell some of my Firms that I don't use too often to justify all this buying I am doing! Thanks for all the great info, it really is helpful. I have been working out...

Thanks for your responses, you two have me convinced - I need to get it. Now I am going to hunt the swap sites for it. Now I also want Pure Strength series. So many tapes, so little money!
