Nan, definitely read the Laura Berman book. I too, listen to her show occassionally on the radio - she reminds me of a more up to date Dr. Ruth!! Some of the book I found a little "intense" for my liking but there are a lot of good ideas / suggestions and it lays everything out in a very simple...

I seem to go in book "phases". Did the Twilight thing, did the Jodi Picoult thing. Right now, I'm kinda into the "self help" thing. I seem to be having a few intimacy / relationship issues so I've just purchased 4 new books on the subject. Ok, don't laugh, but I just finished reading "Real...

I was modifying using dumbbells as well but I recently purchased a 2nd hand set of barbell & weights for $20!! It's an old set but still in good shape. I got the long barbell and 2 dumbell size bars and 120lbs worth of weight plates. I found using dumbells was ok but because I have one arm...

I hope it comes today!!!! I got my "new" second hand weights all set up and tonight would be a great night for a new workout!!!

Thanks for all the info. I found that old thread that talked about the flooring and printed it out. I'll take it to one of my contractors from our renovation company and see what he can come up with. I think it'll be relatively easy to do and shouldn't break the bank!!! Now to decide on a nice...

Those are so awesome!!!! I can't wait for Halloween!!! Girls night out in Sexy costumes!!!!

Yeah!!! I'm quite excited to try it. Right now I do some light hand weights and I really want to up my game and I think this is the ticket!!! I used to go to a gym and do a BodyPump class which I really enjoyed. I think this will be similar except I can now do it at home. I already have the...

Hi Cathe / Fans: I've made a fitness room in my basement, which fortunately for me, is out of the way from the regular family living space. Now that I've decided I'm using it on a regular basis, I want to spruce it up and make it better. The first thing I want to do is change the flooring...

Just ordered Muscle Max (featured product this week) I've been focusing really hard on cardio for the last couple months and I'm ready to step it up a notch. I just purchased a second hand barbell and weights (120lbs) for $20 and decided it's time to add some weight lifting into my routine at...

I tried SB for the 1st time this week. I did the premix with combos 1,2,3 only. Let's just say it's gonna take some practice to get those steps down. But I agree, it's a fun workout and I look forward to working at it so I can do it confidently start to finish. I normally try to do all the...

Thanks Gin, I tried Step Blast (just the combo 1,2,3 premix) this week. It's a little complicated on the footwork for me yet. It'll take some practice sessions on this one before I can really count it as a workout. It is a fun routine though. I'll definitely keep at it. I don't have the...

Ok, so I'm looking to try a new DVD to add into my weekly rotation. I just started with KickMax doing the Low Impact Kickbox premix only. I like to try all the premixes before I put it all together. I currently do Low Impact Circuit once a week. What I really need now is a workout that is ALL...

Low Impact Circuit is a great workout. I've been working my way up the "Cathe Ladder" starting at Basic Step in July this year, moved onto Low Impact Step, Low Max and finally Low Impact Circuit. I just completed this full workout for the 2nd time. I had originally started doing just the step...

I do really enjoy the LIC workout. Because I've only done it once all the way through, I'll be using it the remainder of October as my "main" step workout (1-2 x per week). I just hate doing something I'm not good at!!! Hence the reason I do the step premix of the workout over and over till I...

Hi Cathe & friends, I finally did the complete Low Impact Circuit DVD on the weekend after a few weeks of doing the Step Blast Cardio pre-mix to get myself prepared for the step moves. I got through it but had to seriously modify the push ups and ab work. Those are 2 areas I'm incredibly...

Hi Everyone, Wish me luck this Sunday as I'm going the CIBC Run for the Cure in support of Breast Cancer research. It's 5k. I've never done anything like this before. I will only be walking but my goal is to be able to run it next year!!! Funny story though, I've unburied my treadmill and...

I started as a newbie to Cathe this year too! I started on July 1st with Basic Step. Moved onto Low Impact Step (love this workout), got really excited and jumped into Low Max (took a while to catch onto it - it's intense) now I'm doing Low Impact Circuit (just the cardio step premix - not the...

Clarissa, I had this procedure done 2 years ago. It's not nearly as bad as you think it is - the stress you will put yourself under is worse!! I can't remember what they gave me but it wasn't valium. They did freeze the area on my neck where the needle would be inserted so I didn't actually feel...

Something else to try is Moroccan Oil. I was on vacation recently to visit my BFF who is a hairdresser. She gave me some of this to try - really gets the frizzies out and leaves a nice shine and silky soft. It's pricey but you don't need alot per use. She also told me to go easy on Pantene...

I just took LIC out of the wrapper this week. Did the Cardio Blast Timesaver premix on Monday night and LOVED every minute of it!! I normally try to do all the premixes first, then put it all together. I'm back at it again tonight. This is the 5th Cathe DVD I've tried and so far the best!!! i...
