Had an interesting workout this a.m. Short on time, so I did a premix from the Low Max DVD (step combos only). To make things interesting, I used 2 lb weighted gloves (I usually use 1 lb for Cathe's Kick Max). Has anyone else ever tried this? I tried hard not to do any swinging of my arms...

I am so happy! FINALLY......I did a HIS routine and it was from the 4 Day Split DVDs. The HIS routines always intimated me, so I never even attempted them (always did LIS). I remember reading one of someone's previous posts to first try and do the routine without a step. That didn't work for...

I finally got my new DVDs! I've been anxiously awaiting them for what seems like an eternity! My first and only workout was LIS with weights first. I wasn't sure what to expect and was surprised to find I only worked shoulders. Not complaining because in the short time I was given I couldn't...

My first Cathe workout was Interval Max on VHS. I used to be a firm "Firm"ee and would never think of straying. Once the workouts were offered as Infomercial material, I started looking elsewhere for a good workout. Additionally, the Firm series wasn't "doing it" for me anymore. Tried...

All I have to say is "OW!!!" I started the rotation for Cathe/Squeeze/BBC. Day 2 is a permix of B&G (Leg Blast). I AM VERY THANKFUL TOMORROW IS A REST DAY!!! :D

Since I'm getting back into running, I would like a good running bra. I should say that I'm like a "Negative A" cup (if that makes a difference in your suggestions). Actually, I would like suggestions on a good running tank (shelf bra), too. Thank you for any help you may be able to...

At work and just wanted to say hello to everyone! Got up at 3:30 a.m. and did a Muscle Max premix (Upper Body Only) and increased the weight on a couple of the exercises. Over the weekend, I went kayaking, so some of the shoulder exercises were KILLING me, but I muscled thru them. Was...

Hi All! You now have a new addition to the Cheetah check-in! A little cub, I am! I am just getting back into running. A little history..... I am presently in the U.S. Air Force assigned to the Maryland Air National Guard. Prior to taking a fitness test, we had to answer a questionaire...

Well, the day finally came. A couple of my friends (who are runners) begged me to start running. I am really a walker, and have been telling them "no-way" for a long, long time. Maybe it was the nice weather, or the fact I just wanted to keep up with them and not feel left out in a...

Oh my aching legs! I thought I was in GREAT shape until I did the Pyramid for Lower Body. OW! OW! OW! That was two days ago, too. The problem now is I'm at work, at a desk, with very little walking. Whenever I get up, I wish I hadn't!!!! OW! OW! I guess I know now what I need to do...

Question......I like to get out and walk. Lately, I've been incorporating a bit of a run (nothing fast, nothing long) during the walk - like interval training. Should I be using shoes made for specifically walking or running?

Could use some help. I am short on time (sometimes) because of my work schedule. My schedule is 7 am to 7 pm - not every day, though. Right now, between getting ready for work and making my entire day's meals in the morning, I really only have 30-40 minutes to work out. That's not every day...

Does anyone do The Body Bar workouts? I can't remember how I discovered them, but I actually like them. It's a nice low-impact workout I do between the Cathe workouts. There are some express workouts that are 30 min and that fits nicely with my work schedule (7 am to 7 pm). Heather:)

Isn't it sad that most people consider fitness to be a "hobby"? Isn't it sad that the United States is considered the fattest nation in the world? I just don't understand why this super-sized nation would rather pig out on pizza and burgers, not work out, and complain when they finally get the...

Just returned from St Johns (VI) - 7 day/6 night vacation. Incredible! Our second time there - I think we are going to make this an annual event. Of course there are other places in the world to visit, but St Johns is heaven on earth......why visit any other place? Who else has been to a...

Has anyone tried The Body Bar? I recently purchased one (and a mini one) - pretty good workout. Heather

Question......I just went on FitDay.com and found my carb/protein/fat ratio isn't quite what it should be. I understand the "standard" is 40c/40p/20f. I read on a few other websites that people who are "cutting" should try and do 30c/50p/20f. I'm not a fan of diets. I eat about 1400 cal a...

Question.....I recently got my mother (64 years old) involved in working out with Cathe. She loves the Basic Step DVD/Lower Impact Step because it's geared for beginners and not "too" difficult. Is there a plan to develop another tape for beginners? Say a weight tape or more cardio tapes?
