Cathe talked about her working out a little bit on a post yesterday in the pregnancy forum. You can find it at: http://64.225.138.194/dcforum/FitMoms/694.html. Shelley :-jumpy

Congratulations!!!! I've been impressed with your advice to and interest in people writing into these forums. It's great to know you are now qualified to do even more good! Congrats again, Shelley :-)

I'm just bumping this up so hopefully Cathe will see it. Not only should it make her feel great, but I think it provides (positive) feedback for her videos. Shelley p.s., Welcome back, Cathe!

My boyfriend and I have been passing goofy "Roses are Red" type poems back and forth and today we moved up to limericks. I thought maybe you guys would get a kick out of making some up too. Here are some examples: There once was a woman of step, Whose workouts we thought would give pep, And...

1) This is the absolute worst...I pick my split ends!!! Does anyone else do that? I swear people must think I have a mental problem when I'm sitting in a vehicle waiting for someone and I'm picking away. UGH! I'm actually thinking of getting my hair cut short but long hair is so much easier...

Thanks for the response, especially the third answer about side-to-side jumps. I was leaning towards doing them trying to keep my torso in one place because I figured that would be good work on my sides. I see what you mean by additional stress on the hips and knees so I will heed your advice...

I loved Cathe back when she was step, step, step. Then, I got distracted from working out for a few years and when I came back to it, I learned that she has quite the variety of workouts now! I'm having a blast trying all the new things. If you don't have one of her catalogs, I highly...

Thanks for your great responses. At work one day, we were stuck waiting for someone to show up so I logged onto Cathe's forums and my co-workers and I were rolling as we read about the mishaps in this thread. Still smiling about it, Shelley :-)

I have a few interval workout questions I was hoping that you Cathe-ites could answer. (Please forgive me if my descriptions aren't the best.) 1) In Cathe's Interval Max, is interval #6 the easiest by far? It's where you kind of leap side to side, like a bunny hop. I think maybe I'm finding...

No matter how hard I try to work out softly, I still tend to be a bit harsh on my floors. The neighbors called the police on me twice last week. The first time, they thought I had elephants lumbering around my house. (Our subdivision isn't zoned for zoo animals.) In reality, it was just me...

RE: Cathe is the best! 1) She gives me a good, solid workout which can't be beat. Even my guy friends admit that aerobics aren't for sissies anymore. 2) She gives us a variety of workouts (step, hi-lo, kickboxing, weights, circuits, intervals, etc.) all of which are the type of workout...

RE: Cathe's lovefest Sorry but this reply isn't directly related to the thread and it will be a little scattered but I had to comment on something related to your "lovefest" comment. A week or two ago, I told my boyfriend that I was contemplating starting a "What I Love about Cathe" thread. I...

RE: Yikes!!! Up until recently, the only Cathe tapes I owned were step aerobic tapes. I didn't really skip around in them per se, but if I felt like doing a workout longer than one tape, I would find myself taking a long break before starting the second one. (Even I can't figure out what's...

I don't have an answer for you. I just wanted you to know that I don't think it's a stupid question at all. If I had to guess, I would guess it's a mixture of high impact and low impact but if I'm right, I don't know why it seems like it's always referring to floor aerobics. It seems like it...

RE: Yikes!!! I'm so excited for you! I ordered mine last Wednesday and got them on Friday! I love that service. :-) Unfortunately, I was out of town on Friday and Saturday and got sick (cold) on Sunday/Monday so I have yet to experience the thrill of using my new DVD's. (Although I did...

I love it!!!! I was (am) hoping you'd get a lot of replies to this post. Many years ago, I didn't like aerobics because aerobics seemed like a wimpy workout. Then, step aerobics came along and I fell in love with it because it is such a solid workout. (Maximum Intensity Cardio has changed my...

Yikes!!! I just did it! I ordered the big 23 pack of DVD's. Part of me is excited about the anticipation of future workouts and the other part of me is freaked out because I can be cheap (but you get the bulk savings plus the S&H savings). I'm hoping now that I will be motivated to start...

Amen, Sister!!! I'd be willing to compromise and not change times as long as we keep it where it is lighter later. I love it! :-jumpy

I bought my boyfriend one of those ab wheels. Now he jokes that he might not have a 6-pack but he has worked up to a wine bottle! ;-) Shelley

Stargazer, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and thorough response. I'm gearing up to take the plunge. Last night I was looking through the Cathe catalog and dreaming of what to mix and match for a workout. Then, I started thinking I better get a 5 DVD player (but I'll hold off on that...
