I tried quinoa for the first time last week and really enjoyed it. I made a quinoa greek salad (served cold). This recipe kept very well and I ate it for 3 or 4 days afterwards. Very similar to brown rice but slightly different flavour (actually I think it has more flavour than rice). I have...

I started from the "ground" up. I had done a few step classes at the gym and really enjoyed it. I now have a "home gym" that I am slowly building up. I have a treadmill, eliptical, a step, resistance bands, a stability ball and some dumbbells (3-10lbs) A friend sent me a DVD which had Basic Step...

Thanks Nicole, I'm assuming it worked ok for you?? There wasn't a "balance" issue?

Hi Cathe & Cathe fans: Now that I am increasing my Cathe DVD collection, I would like to know for the workouts that include the use of the high step, is it possible to get the same workout by increasing the number of risers on my regular sized step? I've checked a couple of places here in...

I looked at that Cardio Coach - unfortunately I do not own an Ipod or MP3 (i know, i know) nor would I even know how to use one!!! It's a neat concept though. For now I'll stick to watching DVD's while I'm on the eliptical / treadmill - keeps me focused on something else instead of the clock and...

Christine / Rapidbreath: You guys rock - that is exactly what I was looking for. Right now, my main focus is cardio to try to shed some of the excess poundage that has crept up but I do understand the importance of weight training. I'll stick to the hand weights for now while I'm losing the...

Hi Cathe / FitnessFreak / Fans: I posted this in the Rotation thread as well but thought I'd get more "looks" here. Can someone help me set up a rotation? Because I don't have many of Cathe's DVDs yet and I'm just beginning to build up my collection, but I'm sure I / we can come up with...

Hi Cathe / FitnessFreak / Fans: Can someone help me set up a rotation? Because I don't have many of Cathe's DVDs yet and I'm just beginning to build up my collection, but I'm sure I / we can come up with something that can work for me in the meantime. This is what I have available: Equipment...

The Eat Clean Diet & The Eat Clean Diet Cookbook by Tosca Reno are quite informative if you are looking to really make that leap into healthy eating. Lots of good recipes / info. I have them both and refer to them all the time. I also pick up the occasional Clean Eating mag - they sometimes have...

Hi Cab: I'm in Barrie, Ontario - hoping for a little bit of summer to come soon - seems all we are getting is rain with the odd nice day thrown in to tease us!!! Still loving the basic step - been doing it faithfully. There are 4 more Cathe DVD's on my wish list and I will get them in this...

Thanks Liberty!!! I'm new to Cathe too and excited about the adventure. I love step - when I used to go to the gym, that was my favourite class! I do enjoy Tae-Bo as well so maybe Kick Max would be good for me! I think I'll probably go with Low Impact Step next - gradually building my way up...

Hi Cathe: I'm a beginner to your fitness regime! I just received my first Cathe DVD which is Basic Step + Cardio & Weights on one DVD. When I looked at your beginner rotation thread, obviously the DVD that you are talking about are different set ups from the one that I have because my DVD...

Oh My God!!! I'm hooked!!!! I did Basic Step yesterday for the 1st time and loved it. I actually did it in the morning and again in the evening!! My calf muscles are on fire today but it was wicked. I even watched "Cardio + Weights" - looks like I'll love that one too but I need to master a few...

So, my first Cathe DVD arrived in the mail today! I'm quite excited and can't wait to try it. It's basic step (30 min) + cardio & weights (60 min) on one DVD. I plan on doing it for the next month and then purchasing a new one. I'll have to do some investigating into which one will be next. I'll...

This one is sooooo true. "Advise is what you ask for when you already know the answer, but wish you didn't. " And on a post it note beside my computer screen: "Stay focused on your goals. Practice willpower and don't let anyone - not even yourself - tell you that you can't. "

Hi Autumn, I have an eliptical and a treadmill. Both are Horizon Series. Eliptical is model CE6.0 and Treadmill is model CT5.0. They are not the top of the line but I believe both are next step down from the top. I was fortunate enough to have Santa bring them both to me last year!!! I love...

Kate, I made these last night and was pleasantly surprised how well they turned out. They are quite moist and very tasty!! And even with the buttermilk and brown sugar, it is 3 points with weight watchers per 1 muffin. Have you ever tried to substitute the buttermilk or brown sugar?

I made this recipe last night and it was awesome!!! I tried to find whole wheat manicotti shells but had no luck so I used regular ones. Not even sure if they come in whole wheat. I also used fresh spinach instead of frozen because I had it. I didn't have Italian seasoning so I just used some...

Thanks so much - that is exactly the one I was looking for. If I use basic step for the 1st month and then switch up to this low impact step for month 2, I should get a pretty good handle on it. I'll have cardio & weights DVD too to add in there. Good start to my collection. I hope my DVD's...

So, I'm scrolling through the step DVD's available on the site and I don't see anything that is low impact step and stretching. I see Hardcore series Low max & Low Impact Circuit. I see one called Total Body Stretching - is that what you are talking about? Am I missing something??? I have Basic...
