    what's on your keychain

    The actual ring is a silver Tiffany's star that I love. Attached is a ring with my car key, house key, house key to my mom's house and a Border's mini card, which I have never used. There's also a mini Arizona licence plate with my name on it, which I bought in the airport when I was...

    Best approach to Core Max

    I have no problem doing the levitation holds, and I don't think that's because I'm particulary strong in either area--it's just the way my body is built. So, strength in one area may be a contributing factor in mastering these, but it isn't the only factor :) I also wanted to mention that I...

    Cathe: Substitute for stability ball pikes? Tendonitis :(

    Hi Cathe, I have been diagnosed with tendonitis in my right hand, and I need to lay off stability ball pikes, which I really love to do and am quite good at :) Can you suggest any alternative core moves that are very challenging? I have all of your workouts--I guess I'm looking for somthing...

    Cathe/SNM, Would You Consider An On-Screen Timer?

    Same here, Juliekins. I'd much rather not have a timer.

    New workout premixes concern....

    SNM, I completely agree with what Kathryn posted. There are TWO issues here: 1.the premixes need to flow better (with the use of insert cards or some other method). 2. The chapter points need to be well-placed, not only for the smooth use of premixes, but also for the smooth use of the...

    Will there be WO Blenders in the new workouts?

    I agree with Heather that the blender is easy to use. I also agree with everyone else who has posted that it isn't really worth it if you can only mix 6 segments. If you were still putting two workouts on one DVD, and people could blend as many chapter points together from BOTH workouts...

    Amy may have a fitness get together

    This forum is Open Discussion, which means we can discuss other instructors. It isn't appropriate to advertise or sell products, or even to re-sell Cathe's own products here, but I don't see anything wrong with posting that another instructor is having a get together.

    A VERY good idea.....I think

    I'd really like to see this in a spiral bound, weekly planner format. If pictures could only go in once per month, that would be fine--maybe smaller pictures could go on some of the weekly pages. The pages should be thick enough so that Sharpie marker ink doesn't go through. (The only kind...

    Which DVD Do I Buy Next?

    Since you say you aren't used to the newer moves, I think Low Max and Imax2 are not good choices for you. These two have more dancy choreography that isn't cued terribly well. In your post you say you have a DVD with Basic Step and Cardio & Weights. Is that really what's on the DVD, or is it...

    Ponderisms......

    Here, Haydee. I'm sure this will clear it right up for you... "Since sure, and sugar begin with s-, the assimilation with the palatal on-glide of the (original) "long u" is (historically) complete, and the syllable-final consonant "shortens" the remaining -u- sound. In words like 'visual'...

    Read any good books lately?

    Newswoman, I love Jane Green's books! I just picked up Swapping Lives, and it is calling to me, but I have library books I need to finish first. I might just go ahead and return them and start Swapping Lives this weekend. Jemima J was my favorite of her books. Wendy

    Read any good books lately?

    "Oh, I would love to read. I am developing a long Wish List of books to read "someday", beginning with The Year of Magical Thinking. Has anyone here read it?" Hi Nancy, I just listened to this audio book in my car on the way to and from work this week. It was alright. As I listened I...

    Most common baby names

    Here are some of the unique names of kids I've taught over the past 12 years or so. These names haven't been repeated in any of my classes over those years. Tag Cole Akila Coble Elena Ayalet Brix Ryder (and his last name was Bootz) Romy Elliette Kjerstin (she went by KJ) Cyrus...

    Total body weight training vs. gym style

    Hi. What you're referring to is basically the difference between Strength training and Endurance training... Here's an older post from Cathe: http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=2&topic_id=23020&mesg_id=23020&listing_type=search If that doesn't answer, there are lots...

    Seasun Zeiger Abs/Core

    Hi everyone, I do Core Max and other Cathe ab work about 3 times per week. I can complete all of the stability ball pikes (usually) in the workouts that contain them. I feel that I have a pretty strong core, and I almost always choose to do Cathe core work even though I have some other...

    Are you scared to...

    It's so interesting that you posted this. I was just saying to someone yesterday that I think it is really odd that many people don't like to say how old they are. I also think it is strange that it is considered rude to ask how old someone is. I think this is mostly with women, and it must...

    Somewhere Between Fat and Fit

    Laurie, that was an incredible post! Wow. Heather, she is right on. Good luck. Oh, and if you are stuck in places like Applesbees/Chili's/Ruby Tuesdays/etc, although most of their food sucks IMO, they do have some "Lite" and Weight Watchers menus. My BF travels a LOT and he has been able to...

    DVD Player That Can Handle Cathe's Premixes

    Hi Heather, Why don't you take a couple of Cathe's DVDs with you and try them out in one of the players? That should let you know for sure whether they'll play or not. There are just so many brands and models out there now. I have a Toshiba 5 disc player that must be over 5 years old, and...

    A few questions...

    Hi Faythe, (yep, I'm not Cathe and I don't like it when people answer for her, but oh, well! ;) ) It seems like the easiest answer to your question is just to cut back to two hours a day. Eat breakfast in the morning and do either your cardio workout or your strength training. Then in the...
