Hi Bobbi, First off, All Step is not the benchmark for Cathe's step workouts. I can't believe they included this one with the Step for so long (I believe the Step now comes with Basic Step+Body Fusion). It's totally intimidating because it moves a warp speed! Once you get the hang of...

Hi everyone, I finished the Timesaver DVD as planned, although I had to lighten up a bit today on workout 5 (the Leg workout) as I have a cold and am not quite up for lifting my normal weight. Next week I'd like to get in 6 workouts. My plan is to do 2 circuit workouts (I'll try out my...

Hi everyone, I've been having a very hectic week at work and have started to feel really run down (hence, I haven't been checking in). Here's what I've been up to since Tuesday. W- nada. Was exhausted and felt like I was coming down with a cold. Th- nada. Same as above. F- Didn't have...

Hi Lori, Kimbra, and Dana, It's going to be a hectic week due to the start of Red Ribbon Week festivities. Every day this week I have schools wanting me to do classroom presentations on saying no to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. While I love this part of my job and working with the kids, it...

I'm guilty of taking Monday off so I could sleep in. I was so snuggly in my bed that getting up at 5 was just not in the cards that morning. Had great workouts on Tuesday and today. Tuesday was Cardio Step Attack (one of the CIA's from the 2K series) where I did the step, cool down, and...

The results have been stickied on the DVD/Video forum where they'll stay at the top of the first page. Cathe and SNM are so great to have done this!

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone, My goals for the next 3 months are pretty simple. 1) To not gain any weight over the next 3 months. 2) To work on further developing my arm definition in time for holiday fashions. 3) To integrate more yoga/stretching into my routine. For the...

I stopped tallying total number of respondents after 60. Since the workout average scores were being calculated by adding each workouts scores, then dividing that total by the number of people who had scored that workout, keeping a total tally became a pain. IMAX 2 had over 40 responses...

Hi Cathe! Many people have often wondered why there was never a ranking of your workouts so that people could decide which ones to purchase that would be right for their current fitness level, etc. Well, I undertook this process and the rankings and results are in. I have posted the results...

First, big thank you to all of you who took the time to score Cathe's workouts so that a ranking system could be developed. It was very much appreciated. Below you will find all of Cathe's current workouts categorized and ranked from easiest to hardest. In addition to the ranking, you will...

Hi everyone, I'm getting ready to tabulate the scores I've received so far tomorrow and hopefully post the final results on Friday. It's not too late to vote. See how below! The Plan and Some Guidelines 1. I will categorize and list all the Cathe workouts that fall in that category...

Count me in Lori! I'm actually feeling pretty good about my weight so I'm not looking to lose. However, the next few months are really tough for me eating wise (Halloween candy, Thanksgiving foods, Holiday parties, holiday sweets, etc.) so a check in will help keep me focused on not getting...

Hi Clare, You had asked me to look up some recommendations for styling products for fine hair. I wanted to let you know that I hadn't forgotten. I got really busy and was always without my Paula Begoun book when I got to a computer. Anyway, I'll post a more complete list later on and did...

I don't have either of these so I can't help you out with a personal perspective. CIA 2203 is reviewed at VideoFitness (www.videofitness.com) so you might want to check it out. Go to the instructor index and click on CIA (Creative Instructor Aerobics), then you will see the list with all the...

First of all, welcome! I hope that you will enjoy yourself at the forums. Second, to answer your question, the main page that lists all the different forums (Ask Cathe, Video/DVD Forum, Open Forum, etc) there is a Rotations Forum (I believe it is second from the bottom). Cathe posts a...

You had asked how Paula Begoun had rated the Bumble and Bumble Alojoba products. For both the shampoo and conditioner she says they are a great option for normal to very dry hair of any thickness. Glad that you like the products you are using. Paula says in her book (and I agree) that if...

Hi Clare, As you have probably guessed, you and I have the hardest time finding products for our hair type because our hair can get weighed down so easily. Here's some of her recs. and some of my personal favs. Shampoos-Paula recommends alternating between a shampoo that removes product...

Lorihart, I don't have curly hair so can't directly address your questions. I would like to point you to an invaluable resource. You may want to take a look at Paula Begoun's latest book, Don't Go Shopping for Hair Care Products Without Me, 3rd edition. She has a terrific section on how...

Cathe, I can't thank you enough for including premixes in your DVD's. They are wonderful and make your DVD's so much better than what the rest of the market has to offer. Here are my suggestions: 1. Complete Upper Body only premixes- like in the Push/Pull & Supersets DVD. If you...
