    lower body frustration...help, Cathe, please!

    HI there; I'm not Cathe, but I wanted to put in my two bits. I feel your frustration, as this was one of the areas I have been working hard on. I am also a pear, although I'm tall (5'9") and about 135 lbs. It has taken some work, but what I found leaned out my legs, was kickboxing and...

    intimidated by pikes!

    OMG! I'm so glad you posted this question! I have been trying so hard to do pikes (can do them on the floor, no problem) and it's now been a few months. I am slowly getting further up, but they are f&*^ken tough.:D I think it does just take practice, like anything and tightening those...

    Hair Color

    I just wanted to add that you can do highlights yourself if you feel a bit adventurous. I have been doing my own hair (highlift and highlights) for years. Just buy a box of Frost & Glow, cut some foil strips and mix what you need. I do suggest though, that you put some heavy conditioner on your...

    Are you kidding me?

    Ha Ha....you will adapt to it... I remember when I first did this tape and realized how much more physically fit I could still get! It really humbled me. I also made the mistake (I was excited!) of doing this two (2) times in one week. That resulted in serious knee pain for the following two...

    Coffee before a workout!

    I completely agree. I could not even think about doing any of the IMAX's without coffee and I do find that a cup about 20 mins to an hour before a workout sends me to the moon in energy capacity! Love that.

    Instructional Video is a Must! Cathe, please must read this!

    Ummm....I see where you're coming from, but, you have to remember that Cathe is an advanced exercise instructor. I thought she didn't run through the exercises beforehand so that after three years of doing the same workout, you won't get bored with it and it's never repetitive? I have plenty of...

    I'm so excited I just ordered cardio fusion

    I'm doing the happy dance too because I ordered it this week as well! I totally agree that this will be one of the ways I get through the winter doldrums. Can't wait to do it. I also was so proud of myself getting through Scrambled Eggs--- WOW! is all I could say at the end of that one.

    Rediscovering older workouts

    I love Circuit Max as well. Every time I do it, I always start out saying this will be easier "this time around," especially since I've been tackling all of her harder Imaxes and new videos. Well, silly me! By the end, when she's doing those torturous planks with one leg up --- UGGGGH. At least...

    Cardio Fusion

    Doreen, thanks for your review. I'm so excited, since I just bought this yesterday and can't wait for it to get here. I haven't bought Low Impact Circuit, so I'm interested to see what that part of Cardio Fusion is like. I'm a big fan of high impact step.

    Butts & Guts?

    You know, I felt the same uncertaintly rising in me before I bought this workout. I just did it Saturday and BOY! that is one kiss-a@@ workout. I was sweating as if I was doing a cardio workout and my legs and butt were burning sore like I've never felt before. Wonderful. GET IT! (with a...

    Butts and Guts and lower back

    I did the whole thing on Saturday and loved it! I didn't experience any lower back pain, but I can understand how you would. I agree with kathryn, that going down on the forearms helps control the core more. You should try to get used to doing some of these exercises as after awhile you will...

    Body Max 2 and premixes??

    Hi Tina, I've done the Scrambled Eggs premix and it was so much fun! I don't know if it's harder than BodyMax 2 with the weights and all that because it's hard to compare. I feel well worked out at the end of both of them. The Scrambled Eggs was great for a long cardio workout, since I had...

    Is it okay to exercise on hard / cement floor?

    Ummm....I may be in the minority here, but I don't think cement is that bad. I did it for more than a year and in several apartment buildings and had no leg or knee problems. In fact, I think it may be strengthened my bones, as they got used to the hard floor. Wear good athletic shoes though...

    question about workout times

    I totally agree with Melanie, although I don't believe that there are any particular physiological benefits to working out in the morning. Whenever you can is great. I too, hate working out in the morning. My body is not awake and takes about two hours after I wake up to feel conscience! The...

    Signs of overtraining!!Interesting

    Ummm, I'm new here but have been lurking for years. Kathryn, I have to say I totally agree with some of the previous comments about your tact with which you say things. You are extremely knowledgable, but you often come across as arrogant and a know-it-all. It's important to be careful in the...

    Ummmm.....Wow! I wish I could print your pic out and hand it to all of my friends who ask me how I lost weight! As you say, a good program is what it takes, and Cathe provides that. You are a real inspiration and thanks for posting your before and after pics. You look wonderful. Go on girl!!!!
