    Mega Step Blast from the past!

    As I was preparing to select my workout for today, I decided I wanted to do a cardio-focused one, since I had done High Step Challenge yesterday. I knew I didn't want to do an interval workout, since I'd done IMAX 3 ony a few days ago. So I looked and looked at my DVDs, waiting for inspiration...

    Tosca Reno Cooler Plans???

    I have never done a cooler plan, but I've had fabulous results following her general plan of nixing (almost) all processed, "fake" foods and eating some kind of protien and complex carb every three hours or so. I am not sure that you'd like a cooler plan, because specifying exactly what you...

    Any Overweight/Formerly Overweight Cathletes that BEGAN with Cathe's workouts?

    Well, I *practically* started with her, as I had a few other videos I did, but she was in the mix from almost the beginning - at most two months in. I'm a big nerd, so I started at her beginning, with Step N Motion. I did it on 4" with no risers, took breaks or impact out as needed, and...

    I just completed a S&H rotation yesterday, and I was thinking this exact same thing as I was doing it. I love the focus and intensity!

    Cathe's "interview" in Oxygen

    I tried looking online, but I don't see a digital version of it, sorry. The article is in this month's Oxygen, and it is about a plyometric exercise regimen. Cathe provides some suggestions, so the whole thing isn't about only her. HTH :)

    Cathe's "interview" in Oxygen

    I just wanted to congratulate you on your comments in August's article on Plyometrics. It was funny, as I was reading it, I kept thinking of your IMAXes and how you tell us to do them no more than twice a week - and there you are, saying the exact same thing here! Anyway, glad to see you...

    leaving a bad/abusive situation

    (((Nightowl81))) I don't have any more advice to add (there have been a lot of great ideas thrown out already) but I did want to say that wanting to keep your workout stuff is not vain - we certainly understand the physical and emotional pick-up that exercise affords us. I also commend you on...

    A big warm thank you to all of our Disney World Road Trippers

    What a wonderful recap of the weekend - except how can we forget the lights going out - twice! - during chair pose Friday night? I think it's official - that's the first time I've ever laughed so hard during chair! And you put me very much at ease during the spinning tryout. I had such a...

    Thank you Cathe and SNM

    I am going to have to second Kristin's comment. This was my first road trip, and everything I've heard and read about them has been absolutely spot-on! I made new friends and had the time of my life, from the workouts to the food to the most spectacular fireworks show I've ever seen. You are...
