    New Workouts?

    I know this is probably a silly question but I guess I've never been to good at waiting for anything. Can you give us an estimate about when the new workouts will be taped/available?

    Aerobics Shoes

    Hi There Deanie! I can tell you from my experience that the Ryka Enlight II's absolutely fit true to size. They are the best pair of aerobic shoes I've ever owned. It upsets me to think eventually they won't be available anymore. Hope this helped you. Sharon:-)

    Levitation holds in Core Max?

    Lorrie Thanks so much for this suggestion. Believe it or not - of all the moves Cathe has on all her videos and DVD's - and I have them all - this is the one move I have not been able to master and it is frustrating. I'm going to try your cheat and see if that helps me to eventually do the...

    ? on my new Cathe videos

    Hi Stacy I totally agree with you on Cathe vs the Firm. I used to do the Firm workouts and although some are pretty good (mostly the original few from back in the 80's)for the most part I never feel like the Firm is hard enough. Cathe on the over hand is so challenging and motivational with...

    BEST shoe for high-impact step aerobics?

    Hi There Beachgerrl! I absolutely agree about the Ryke Enlight's being the best step aerobic shoe. It's true everyone is different with different needs, but from my own experience these are the best. I've got horribly flat feet and was very prone to getting plantar fasciitis - (so...

    VHS "free shipping" negated with a DVD purchase? Is thi...

    RE: VHS I really feel for you on this problem of ordering through Step 'n Motion. I know it's Cathe's company, and she is the greatest - no doubt about that, but the customer service of Step 'n Motion leaves a lot to be desired. I too have had problems with them. I will now only purchase...

    8" step OK for Imax3?

    RE: 8 Hi Lisa Don't feel bad! IMAX 3 is the very first DVD/tape of Cathe's that I have ever done on a 6" step - I've always used 8". However when I got this one I couldn't get through it on an 8. I actually felt guilty putting it down to a 6 and thought well after a while I'll up it back...

    Cathe! Your favorite shoes?

    Hi Lyanne I'm not Cathe either and I know I shouldn't be answering questions addressed to her but I also have battled Plantar Fasciatis more than once in both the right and left foot (at different times). It's no fun is it, and it took forever to go away because I refused to quit working out...

    Shoes and gloves in Kick Max

    Hi Everybody! I just now ordered a pair of the Avia 672's from Aviaselect.com mainly because I couldn't get them anywhere else, but I did pay the $59.50 price for them. They didn't even ask if I was an instructor. Maybe they've just changed a previously existing policy but I didn't have any...

    Seperated abdominals: please elaborate!

    Hi Cathe! First of all - thanks so much for the Hardcore Series and all the the work you and the gang put into it for all of us. I think you are just incredible. I've been working out with your workout tapes since 1998 starting with Step Works. I had no idea in the world how much harder it...

    Tried out Christi Taylor- she's no Cathe!

    RE: Diane Sue? Amen to what you said StepQueen! I purchased Christi Taylor's Solid Gold Step several months ago and was very disappointed. I have all of Cathe's tapes so I can do advanced workouts, but Christi's choreography was too complicated, and I think it's mainly because her cueing is...

    Anticipation for Oct. Rotation.

    Hi Everybody!! I'm online looking for that Oct rotation also. September's rotation was the first one that I followed all the way through. When I first heard about the rotations I thought I didn't need them - that I could figure out my own workouts like I always had. But now I realize that...

    Which Cathe Step Workout?

    Hi Valerie! I would recommend Cathe's Circuit Max to give you a complete total body workout. You'll definitely be sweating when you're done with this workout. The choreography is not too complicated, and it's a circuit workout with strength training using various weighted dumbells - not a...

    Anyone had a D & C?

    Hi Angela, I had one back in 1986 and it was over and done with in about an hour I think. I was given general aesthetia (sp?). I didn't have a choice about it as I recall. Anyway I was a little bit shaky the rest of that day but the next day I was just fine, so don't be scared. If I can...

    Anyone a big fan of Christi Taylor's workouts as I am?

    RE: Anyone a big fan of Christi Taylor's workouts as I ... Hey There Everybody I'm convinced now that I too need to give Christy Taylor another try/chance. I bought Sold Gold Step several months ago and after two attempts at it I packed it up and haven't looked at it since. Complicate...

    Is 8" the highest suggested height of the STEP?

    RE: Is 8 Hi Jackie! I've been doing step aerobics since 1990, and, like you I generally use the 8" level of my step. The step I've used for most of that time has been the Step Reebok bench which adjusts from 6" to 10". I have used the 10" step for shorter length workouts but for Cathe's...

    PowerMax?

    Hi Brooke! I just wanted to let you know I've have PowerMax for a number of years and just love it. Actually over the last 6 years I've accumulated all of Cathe's videos and am now working on the DVD's! PowerMax is a really tough, challenging workout, but since you're used to doing advanced...

    Thanks for Great July Rotation!!

    I agree with you Lorrayne. It certainly was a great rotation and my appetite increased also. Because it was such an intense rotation, though, I lost six pounds so that was great. I'm ready for August's rotation. Send it our way Cathe! Sharon

    Question About Rhythmic Step

    He Shelbygirl! All I can say is just keep trying Rhythmic Step. It really is a great workout - really hard - but great. Mostly when I say hard I mean hard on your stamina. You'll really be sweating after this one. I feel like the choreography is not that hard but any Cathe workout takes a...

    Luvin' High Step Training

    Hi Susan I like HSTA also - it's very different from any of her other workouts - a little bit of everything and it really keeps you HR up there. Oh and don't worry you're not the only one who has trouble with those one hand triceps dips. They're really tough;( One of these days I'll get it...
