Plenty of fruit and veggies, possibly fresh, according to season, legumes,lean meat, fish (I love salmon but also sea bream or sea bass) and fresh dairy products.

    When/How long did you discover Cathe?

    Discovered Cathe in 2009, just right before getting pregnant. A year later, in November 2010, I purchased my first DDs, Step heat, Power Max and Low Max. It's been love ever since. I was intimidated by her advanced workouts, so embraced one challenge after the other: first, "simple" step dvds...

    Chronological order of dvd release dates?

    I'm not an old Cathlete, but if you go on the home page and then click on the "video-clip" section you get all the videos listed from newer to older. I don't know if that is the right order, but at first sight it makes pretty sense to me. For sure I know that in the digital download section they...

    Deadlifts hurt my back

    Hi Natasha! I would skip deadlifts for a while and try to increase lower back strenght/flexibility. In the meantime, have you tried gym style legs, the floor half? You get very tough exercises but using the ball... I hate those roll-out with one leg extended, but they really work glutes and...

    Calves?

    I agree with Kiki, Gym style is excellent for calves, but I would try Turbobarre too: lot of calf work even hidden while doing other moves!

    Cathe,where do you get inspiration for your workout?

    I am so impressed by the high quality of your job that I'd really like to know what happens " behind the scene " when you come up with new ideas, how you build a new workout and how you sequence exercises and moves so effectively, stopping at the right moment and pushing hard when needed. And (...

    Top 5 Hated Exercise Moves!

    Straddle taps.Not because I cannot do them or keep up the pace with Cathe and crew, but because I am totally breathless after those:eek: They are followed by squat turns, butt kicks in 40/20 and push-ups variations : thanks to Lis I improved greatly, but chest push-ups in the 4Ds are still a...

    How DOES she do it??

    Thought the same thing the first time I did it.Second time around, mentally determined to survive as the hardest part it's only until the 25 minute mark, I did better.Third time... game face on and it went plain and smoothly, but always breathing so heavily and sweating so much that I still...
