Hi Npuzon! Welcome to the Forum - I am positive you will get lots of suggestions on how to spend your money on Cathe videos and DVD's!! Most people tend to recommend Cathe's Wedding Video as a good starter, as it contains approx 1 hour of intermediate/advanced step and 1 hour of body...

Hi naughtoj! Congratulations! What a great achievement! - just coz we're getting a little older and carrying a few extra pounds than when we were at school (hey, who isn't?!) doesn't mean our bodies are falling apart - quite the opposite in your case! Do you credit this extra strength to doing...

Hi All, Please bear with me if this topic has been discussed before, but I am looking for some up-to-date info!! I am currently 4 months pregnant with my first (due 20th January and can't wait!!). My question is this: I'd really like to give my abs all the help they can get after the birth and...

Hi Beets, I'm also 7 weeks along, just going into my 8th week. I know what you mean about the sore boob thing! My boobs are so sore, I wake up every time turn over in the night!! With regard to your lack of appetite, I wouldn't worry unduly at this point. I'm just getting over a viral sickness...

Hi Beets, Congratulations! I am so pleased for you! My due date is 29th Jan 2003, so we are literally days apart! It's nice to know someone who is at the same point as me. Most of my friends have already had children, so I don't know anyone in "real" time to share my pregnancy with. That's...

Susan, Thank you so much for your helpful & informative reply - I am mortified at not thanking you in my previous post - somehow I managed to skip over your reply before! Blimey, these pregnancy hormones really do make you go a bit "doo-lally"! Congratulations also on your new baby boy! Kaz...

Hi Janice, I can certainly sympathise and relate to your situation! I have mild degeneration in my thoracic spine (upper/middle back) which causes me nagging pain on a regular basis. I also have a condition of the lumbar spine (lower back) called "spondylolisthesis" (bit of a mouthful!)...

Hi Myra Congratulations on your pregnancy - a girl - how exciting! I'm just about 5 weeks along with my first at the moment, and I would love a girl and DH wants a boy, although as you say, it doesn't matter as long as it's healthy! I hope the next 10 weeks goes smoothly for you - you never...

Hi Hazel & Erica, Thanks so much for your replies - they were both really helpful. I have been gradually working my way backwards through all the posts here and as you both said, some of my questions (and more!) were answered in other posts. However, I really appreciate you taking the time to...

Hi All, I've just found out that I am just over 4 weeks pregnant! DH and I are over the moon - this is our first, so everything is very new and exciting (and a little frightening!). I've always been a regular exerciser, working out 5-6 days per week. Ever since I found out I was pg I have been...

Hi All, I am considering buying some new tapes (to tide me over until Cathe is back!) and was hoping for some feedback on the following tapes: Kickbox Circuit (Master Your Body) with Alain Bissainthe (I believe Keli Roberts also features in this) Core Strength (Master Your Body) with Lashaun...

Thanks for the suggestions! Stacy - I'm really interested in trying the Powerstrike tapes as I've read so much positive stuff about them and I love kickboxing workouts! They get me sweating and huffing like nothing else! Donna - I'm not sure about Charlene - I traded for her Return to Slender...

Hi All, I'm interested in buying some low-impact but INTENSE workouts for those days when I want to give my knees and back a break, but still want a good, sweaty workout! I will have a go at just about anything - step/kickboxing/aerobics. I like choreography that moves along fairly quickly (ie...

Hi Kristina, Sorry to hear you too have had such a bad time! Sounds like you may have figured out what works (and what doesn't!) for you now though! I also take a probiotic which I really feel does help. I think also that sugar may be an aggravator for me as well. Pasta is a big no-no, and...

Thanks all! I probably should have mentioned that I live in the UK (doh!) so alot of the brand names you are mentioning I'm not familiar with. However, I have found a natural product here which is supposed to help the bowel walls heal and help prevent the spasms, so I'll be giving that a go...

Hi Tracy, Sounds like your plan is a good one. Most of us that have/are struggling with weight loss have found that longer cardio sessions of 45-60 min 4-6 times per week are what is needed to shift those stubborn pounds! Add 2 full body strength/weight workouts to this, eat a clean diet and...

Hi Donna, I have to agree with what Karen has said above. I definitely think that the muscle recovery time is so important when doing any kind of "weight-bearing" work. This down time is when the muscles are actually doing alot of their work - growing, repairing, building. I certainly...

Thanks LaurenH, Is the video actually called Yoga Sculpt? I will pop over to VF Forum and see if there are any reviews. If you have the time, would you be kind enough to give me a more detailed breakdown of the exercises? Many thanks, Kaz. Today Is The Tomorrow We Worried About Yesterday And...

Hi All, I really like the plank work that Cathe does on the CTX Kickbox and Power Circuit workouts. I can really feel my abs working whilst I'm doing the movements and the next day my abs are pleasantly sore in a way that traditional abs does not leave them. Much as I really like the CTX...

Hi All, Just really wanting some advice! I have been suffering with diorrhea (sp?) and fairly constant and painful bloating and muscle cramps in my tummy for some time now. I'm just getting over a 2 day stomach bug and finally went to my GP who told me that he thinks I have IBS! Of course, I...
