My neighbors mom just started working out also. She doesn't weigh 350", but she is very out of shape. She got the book Weightlifting for Dumbies. She said it is very good. They may have it on video. Check Collagevideo.com. I have seen other "Dumbies" videos on there. My mom does the...

Hi Corybugg. I'm originally from Irwin, North Huntingdon...right outside of Monroeville. I currently live in Duncansville, Pa...right outside of Altoona, about 40 minutes from State College. I was wondering myself if there was anyone from my region out there. Glad to meet ya. Kim

My legs are definately my best part. They are long, thin and muscular. I can't tell you what I can bench press, but I am trainning for a 15K in July. Every time I run, I am amazed that my legs can carry me all that way. Kim

I've seen this ball at Wal-mart and Dunham's.

Hi Kathryn....I forgot to mention in my last post that I love the idea for the name of the video series....Fit to the Core. Kim'

Hi Susan. Sorry, I'm not Cathe, but I can tell you that the stability ball can be a challange, but keep up with it. It is excellent for the core muscles. I have taken a ball class with a friend of mine at her gym a few times. The first couple of times, I had trouble also. But it didn't take...

Hi Janice. Sorry I'm not Cathe, but I do have something to say about your ab work causing you back pain. I never used to work my stomach for the same reason....it seemed to hurt my back so much. I've started using a stability ball for my ab work. I love it. (You will see me state this quite...

Hi Marnie I agree about the stability ball. I just started using the stability ball on a regular basis. I use it along with my weight routine as well as for the stomach and back. I have seen awesome results. I am a runner (I use Cathe to cross train). I've read in my Runner's World mag...

I was wondering if anyone would like to see Cathe do a stability ball and medicine ball workout video? I love doing the stabiltiy ball, but have yet to find a video that is close to a gym workout. I think (along with some other Cathe groupies) that she is the only instructor out there that...

Hi Kathryn, No, I haven't posted this idea on the video question forum yet, but i am thinking about it. I would just die if Cathe answered back....LOL Kim

Stick with the stability ball exercises and modify if you have too. using the stability ball requires use of muscles that we don't hit when we use weights....especially core muscles. with each workout, you will feel yourself getting stronger and more able to do the ball part of the tape. I...

I was wondering if anybody knew what the deal is with these fitness waters on the market. I love the Propel berry flavored. Is it better to drink one of these vitamin enriched waters instead of just regular water after an intense workout. I run a few times a week (I use cathe to cross train)...

i would love to see cathe do an all stability ball tape. I have yet to find one that is like a gym workout. I think she is the only one who would come close. In my opinion the ball is the way to go to get all those 'little' muscles. it may not look like a workout, but it can be intense. I...

Hi everyone. I am writting in to say the stability ball will get easier. I don't have the cathe tapes that you are all talking about (but I wish I did), but I can say this...I took a ball class with a friend at her gym. The first two class I looked just like you guys described. But with each...

hi Lynn I noticed one time that Wal-mart had some petite clothing. They were sweat pants and looser fitting yoga pants. I infact had a hard time finding these clothes in a non-petite size. I don't think that target has any petite clothing but i did see that they had some capri workout pants...

hi linda You are right. there were too many wilsons on that show. Carnie Wilson is from the group Wilson Phillips and she did have gastric bypass surgery. The other Wilson (the woman of color and daughter to jazz singer) also lost over 300 pounds, but she did it the hard way.....the healthy...

hi Mar I am almost in a way glad to read your post. I too have been experiencing some of what you have said. I am getting discouraged because my clothes actually seem to be tighter in that area than looser. i've been doing ab work pretty intensly 5 days a week for about 2 months....but i...

these Cathe forums. I am a newbie to this website, but I have been a fan of Cathe's for sometime (probably 4 years now). I love the forums. I have the best time talking about fitness and the like and I feel that I have some good advice. unfortunatly, not alot of my friends are really into...

I always slack this time of year as well. I workout early in the morning. I think my problem is it is cold and dark and I just want to stay in bed with my husband and stay warm. My motivator is my summer clothes. I try them on in january and see how they are fitting. If they fit really well...

The only thing that keeps my husband motivated (he doesn't workout with me....just in life in general) is.......SEX. It's a great cardio workout as well....200 calories a romp.
