Dana ~ Congratulations! You look great! Healthy and vibrant! Good for you! Thanks for sharing. ~ Kim "Welcome the challenge...Embrace it...Don't fear it." -Cathe Friedrich

I am thrilled that Cathe has produced a beginner/intermediate series. This segment of exercisers was missing out on her expertise and talent. It is going to open up a whole new world for so many people...I'm going to pick them up for my sister and encourage friends and co-workers to "go for...

This is excellent news! I'm so excited for beginner/intermediate level exercisers! How truly professional of you, Cathe, to address their needs. ~ Kim "Welcome the challenge...Embrace it...Don't fear it." -Cathe Friedrich

Becky - www.dumbbellbuddy.com has the Troy Lite barbell system used by Cathe in the HC series and shipping is FREE! ~ Kim "Welcome the challenge...Embrace it...Don't fear it." -Cathe Friedrich

RE: Non-road trippers are hating us.... but I was wonde... I know you're being rhetorical, but I don't hate any of the road-trippers and I don't mind all the postings about the trip. If it was meant to be, those of us not attending, would be there! I am happy and excited for you all and will...

One of my favorite motivating lines is, "Aw, c'mon, quit your groaning"... when she's leading us in planks in the HC Abs workout. How'd she know I was groaning?!? I did the standing portion of Legs and Glutes this AM, too, and loved it when she referred to low end hover squats as those...

You're all singing my song! June was a tough month for me and I was exactly where you're at, Catherine. I'm off from work this week and so yesterday I renewed my commitment to consistent work outs and am looking forward to getting back to them without the pressures of my job. I've trained for...

Trish~ I really got consistent and began with Cathe's Hardcore Rotation in Feb and tried to follow each month's rotation thereafter. I tend to lean more toward weight training but attribute the inches (fat) lost to a rededication to cardio. Good luck! ~ Kim "Welcome the...

Jes~ Check out El Conquistador. Gorgeous. ~Kim "Welcome the challenge...Embrace it...Don't fear it." -Cathe Friedrich

I'm still on track although I did have a few bites of my daughter's graduation cake last night. It wasn't very good at all but I couldn't refuse on her latest, greatest milestone. I've had a couple of cravings for chocolate today but haven't given in. Stay strong everybody! We're almost...

Lisa ~ My recommendation is to place your orders thru 1-800-433-STEP. You can check the stock status before ordering. I am no longer ordering any product thru the website because I don't want my CC charged for out of stock merchandise. FYI - CTX is still on backorder. ~ Kim...

Robin - ((HUG)) So sorry about your cat. It's so hard to lose a pet. I refer to my cats and dogs as my "furry" children. They have a special place in our hearts. Mine aches for you right now. My daughter is graduating from high school tonight, too. We're having a nightmare over...

Sarah Very impressive album...time for some new pics....your last one's are from February....I bet you look incredible. IYDMMA, how old are you? ~ Kim "Welcome the challenge...Embrace it...Don't fear it." -Cathe Friedrich

Well, I made it thru the 9th day sugar-free! I'm a textbook stress-eater. Normally, I'd be gourging myself on all kinds of sugar-laced "baddies". Thank you all for the kind words of support about us losing the house. Shelley, legally, we had an iron-clad contract and could have forced the...

It's official...the couple we "bought" a house from and planned on moving into the middle of July have terminated our contract. We have to move out of our house on July 17th. We sold it because we thought we "bought" a house. So far, we don't have anything lined up for July 17th which...

I think my arms are too short! LOL! Do you think that's possible? ~ Kim "Welcome the challenge...Embrace it...Don't fear it." -Cathe Friedrich

I feel like I've just "come home"! I, too, have tried since February to stick w/ Cathe published rotations. After 20+ years of bodybuilding, weight and cardio training, I still tend to gravitate to alternating my strength and cardio workouts...it just "fits" and I've achieved and maintained an...

Jane ~ Core Max #2 is quite a challenge! I love that I must completely, mentally focus on each exercise in order to physically execute them. What started as a love/hate relationship with my stability ball is evolving into a love relationship. Good for you for staying with it...keep going...

How cool is this? One whole week and no sugar! I almost picked up a bag of my beloved Dove Dark Chocolates today at WalMart (force of habit) but truly was not even tempted. I felt a little dip in my energy level late afternoon and ate a pear. It was delicious - honest! Tomorrow is my...

Carole ~ Thank you for passing along the news about Beverly's dad. I missed her, too. I will pray the Lord comforts her and her family during this very sad time. ~ Kim "Welcome the challenge...Embrace it...Don't fear it." -Cathe Friedrich
