I was just thinking how great it would be on Cathe's next complex step tape, or really anything with complex choreo, if she was wearing pants with two different colored legs! That way it would be easier for us to follow along and figure out where we were going! Maybe not even a whole leg maybe...

I'm 5' 4.75" which I round up to 5'5" :D I wish I was taller, but I feel really lucky since my Father was only 5'2" and my Mother is 5'3" !!! ~Susan

Hi Nicole, Not Cathe here, but I do have the Troy Lite system and thought I would tell you what I think of it ... I love it. The plates aren't that large so I don't think storage should be too much of an issue. I have the Troy Lite System plus one pair of 1.25 lb plates. I think you might...

Hi Melanie, I did the step only premix just to learn the step portion and then once I learned it I could do the whole workout no problem. It took me several times before I got the routine down and also did just one section at a time until I felt comfortable with moving on. HTH

I actually make my tuna and egg salad using avocado instead of mayonaise. It's a funky green color but it's much more healthy for you than mayo. Reminds me of eating Dr. Zeuss food!!! Just mash up an avocado add your tuna and some lemon juice and salt and pepper a bit of minced onion...

Hi Kitty, Also not Cathe here, but I've heard it suggested that to lift heavier without loading your barbell to the point of causing injury try wearing a weighted vest. You will be able to increase your overall weight load and still use the 50 lb barbell. HTH ~Susan

One other thing to consider is that your ball might be underinflated. I was really surprised at how "tight" my ball got when fully inflated. Even when you think it's full the ball can usually take more air. HTH Susan

A Travel / Hotel Room workout would be great!!! I would love one with tension bands (is that what they're called?) instead of weights: resistance training. I think the bands would be easier to pack even than aquabells and maybe use 3 resistance level to target all the muscle groups? Add on a...

Hi Faythe, Not J, but I started with 1 tablespoon and now use 2 tablespoons per smoothie. I never really had a problem with gas from the fiber, but I eat alot of veggies and beans, so I think my body was "adjusted." Here's some more smoothie recipes that I got from my Mom. I just blend up...

Hey Faythe, Do you have a blender? I just blend mine in the blender then I add some cranberry juice and orange juice (a juice medley) blend em up some more and just drink the whole concoction down! Quite tasty and refreshing, especially after a Cathe workout :D HTH Susan

I LOVE THIS IDEA ! ! ! It would be great Cathe, it you could do it. :D

Hi Julie, I got my Troy Lite system from http://www.fitness1st.com/bars-weight-systems.html Here's the description: The Troy Lite Workout System features the black oxide painted "lite" bar which has a maximum capacity of 80 lbs. yet weighs only 5 lbs. The short length bar makes it ideal...

Hi Affirm, I had the same experience with my Timesaver DVD and it was the one that I was most looking forward to receiving. Well I popped it into the DVD player anyway to see if ANY of it would play and so far (knock on wood) the whole DVD played fine. I haven't tried the workout blender...

Congratulations Wayne!!!!! You are now going to become addicted to Cathe's cardio guaranteed! And just think, not only does Cathe work out your body , but she also works out your mind!!! :D It is definately a mental challenge to figure out her choreo! Susan

Hi Connie! Congratulations on your first time teaching group classes. You must be so excited! Personal preference here, but whenever I've been in a group class at a gym I also prefer the instruction to be facing in the same direction as the class. I just found it much easier to follow. I...

I only eat Organic yogurts. My favorite brands being Stoneyfield Farms or Seven Star Farms ( I think this one is only availabe onthe east coast). I love the Stoneyfield Farms B'Anilla it tastes like banana pudding, yum!!! We also eat alot of plain yogurt and mix in ganola or I will add a spoon...

Hey Nancy, Great job posting the pics!!! This was so much fun. We definately gotta do this again. Maybe next time at Cathe's gym??? It was soooo GREAT meeting all of you :7 Susan

Hi All, Just PMed Iris. The 30th works great for me. Can't wait to meet you all! :D Susan

Hi All! This is exciting!!! Kathy wrote: How about Oct. 27 - Oct. 30th. I wouldn't Halloween or we could try for the first week of Nov. How do these weeks sound? Let me know, Kathy Oct 27th is not good for me, BUT Oct 28 - Oct 30 would work for me. The first week of November will not...

I love the idea too!!! None of my friends do video workouts. So I only commiserate with my forum friends on how great Cathe is ... and how psyched I was to get my troy lite barbell ... and how much I love my stability ball ... you get the idea, all things CATHE!!! :7 Susan
