    Who was your gateway drug to Cathe?

    I started out with Jane Fonda on a RECORD!:eek: I'm guessing the year was 1982? Then around 1986 I went to the original Firms and did those for years until I met Cathe on FitTV in 2004 and have never looked back. I will try other instructors from time to time, but Cathe is THE BEST in my book!!:D

    Texas Road Trip Feedback Wanted

    All I can say is "Yeeeeha!" So excited to hear that the RT is coming to Texas!! A Road Trip that I can drive to! I have not been to any of these resorts, but would choose The Woodlands or Horseshoe Bay over Lost Pines because of the cost. Did I mention that I am excited?!?!?:D:p:)

    Need advice from veggies, please

    I have been a vegan for 3 months now in hopes of preventing a recurrence of cancer. My husband has been doing this with me and we both love it. No meat or dairy for either of us and I also gave up sugar. He can have tofu, but I cannot. Our protein comes from beans, nuts, nut butters and whole...

    Anna Benson

    Kathryn~ My first workout video was also The Firm Vol.1 back in 1986? I had all of the Firm vhs tapes until they changed hands and also found Cathe and then never looked back. But, I still have soft spot in my heart for all of those earlier Firm workouts.

    workout dvd that burns lots of calories

    Of Cathe's dvds, the ones that burn the most calories for me are: Body Max2 with 600, Cardio Fusion with 590, Low Max with 550 and Drill Max with 540. This is according to my HRM. Of course, some of these workouts are over 1 hour and some combine weightwork with the cardio. HTH, Gin :)

I am a cancer survivor and know that cutting out all meat and dairy is a lot healthier and I plan to do all I can to prevent a recurrence. I don't have any advice, just wanted to...
