    Cathe, I really hate it when you use that four letter word...........

    Funny, the B work I dislike is Bonus. My husband and I were doing Muscle Max the other night, him for the first time. He was complaining a bonus should be something like sit down and rest!

    proper weight for a 15 year old

    I have a niece who all during HS people would ask this because she was 5-7 and wearing a size 0. When she was 18, she blossomed and now in college is up to a size 5-7, so was just a late bloomer. She gave all her 0's to my daughter who is almost 12 and heading the same route, and getting the...

    Cathe: that @($#&)(@*# Low Max move! :-)

    I had trouble with this, and I usually have no trouble with anything. I had to think real hard on which foot starts the pivot. I wanted it to be the sweeping foot that starts the pivot, but it is not. It is sweep, set that foot down and pivot with the other. Once I got that, I had no problm.

    LOW MAX CRISIS-WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

    I just did the pre-mix with the first 4 and it was easier to think of it in just a small section. There were a couple times I purposely just did basic step to watch what they were doing. I also concentrate on feet, feet, feet. What is Cathe's feet doing, and is she turning in or away, and I...

    Curious about Calories

    My height is 5-4, weight around 150, size 8 age 43. I had my BF done by a caliper at the Y last year and it was 21%. I am a very muscular build. Mybodycomp.com said my BF was 33%, so I don't think it works well for muscular women. I don't know how many calories I eat, maybe 1800-2000 a...

    Clothing sizes

    I don't believe the clothing sizes have altered to the extreme of 14 to 8. I think they are consistently 1 size down sometimes two. In 1982 I wore a size 12 wedding dress that had to be altered down to 10 at the last minute due to me losing weight. Also around that time I was wearing size 10...

    Cathe need advise on back pain

    In May 2003 I was at a point where I had numbness and tingling all the way down to my toes. I investigated my options, decided to go to a chiropractor and began treatment in June 2003. This chiropractor was using a technique of lying on my side and pulling the hips while pushing the shoulder...

    PUB/PLB for the Unfit

    Kim, Pyramids are one of my most favorite video sets. For me I always get fabulous results. And as far as being overweight, do not ever, ever let that stop you from trying Cathe's work-outs. These work-outs can be modified to do what you are able to do right now, and if you do them...

    I've just been diagnosed with colon cancer

    Joyce, one of my best friends started the journey you are beginning last year at this time. She had a tumor removed, and a large portion of her colon removed, along with a hysterectomy. Her cancer was stage 3, so quite severe. Her doctors told her they wanted her eating very lightly and...

    Help! Confused/Frustrated on everything! Diet, Cardio, Weights!

    First of all, I don't think 38 pounds is a "ton of weight" so stop worrying about that. It is done, you have a wonderful baby, move on. I remember it took almost a year after my children(now 16 and 11) to really get back to a good weight and feel better about my body. It just seems after...

    Any advice for sciatica?

    After dealing with this for a year, I can now say I am almost pain and symptom free, but it has been a long road. I started with chiropractice and then insurance refused payment, so I went to physical therapy, which helped some. Then insurance changed, and in January went back to chiropractice...

    Slow&Heavy Plie Squat Question

    I have used 2 2o pound dumbells for this, but I prefer to use the barbell. I like the barbell on the shoulders on all plie squats. I do not even like to hold it in front of the shoulders as she shows in some videos. It seems to work for me and I can also go heavier.

    High Step Training vs Bootcamp

    I used an 8 inch step, and normally I use 6. I found HST to be easier than Bootcamp, but also a nice compliment to Bootcamp. I did Bootcamp on Monday last week, HST on Wednesday, and a full body weight work-out on Saturday and felt like it was a good weight week. I am going to lower to 6 on...

    Circuit max and space

    I was doing Circuit Max yesterday and was having a problem with space on the warm-up section. I fixed it this by altering the section with the side tap combo into the scoot turn. When doing the side steps in the side tap combo, I side step two to the opposite way that I am going to scoot...
