    Am I doing too much?

    Cathy, Thanks for your reply! If I understand correctly, you're saying you got toned just by doing her workouts consistently, not in any special order. It's weird, sometimes I think there's this perfect rotation that you have to do in order to get the body you want. But the truth is probably...

    Am I doing too much?

    Hi girls, Thanks for your advice. I understand what you're saying, I'm just not sure if that's what's going on with me or not. I eat enough for sure. And I have been striving to get more protein in (I used to not eat much meat). I don't think I eat too much either--I haven't changed my...

    Am I doing too much?

    Hi Cathe, I was just reading your post on how you like to workout. Currently, I had been doing 30-45 minutes cardio x 6 days every week. Also, each of those days, I do 15 minutes of ab work. Also, every other day, I do upper body weights or lower body squats, lunges, etc. I've been doing...

    I just started--are all the DVDs so difficult to follow...

    Hi everyone, I finally got my Step at Dick's Sporting Goods! It came with a dvd called Basic Step + Cardio & Weights. I checked Cathe's rotation for beginners and it says not to do Cardio and Weights until after Basic Step, Body Fusion, Low Impact Step and Total Body Scuplting. Basic...

    Strengthening the knee so it won't hurt during step?

    Hi Cathe, What can a person do to strengthen their knees so they can do step or run without pain? I had done your videos about 10 years ago, and had knee pain and also when I run. I have been using the elliptical cycle with no problem and then when I went running outside just 1 mile, my...

    exercising during menstruation?

    Hi Cathe, I was recently doing a Pilates workout video and in the introduction, it cautioned menstruating women not to do inverted exercises or vigorous standing poses. Is this a real concern?? I was thinking, does the caution include the thing you do on the stability ball where you...
