hello - i mostly lurk, but have a quick question for those who have or have had puzzle mats. We recently got new berber carpeting and I was thinking of using puzzle mats to preserve the carpet and give me a better surface to exercise on. They are a little expensive here in europe (about $150) -...

is nine months old and LOVES Cathe! Whenever I put a Cathe workout on (BM2 and LIC are her faves), she stops whatever she's doing and claps at the tv, grins, bounces up and down - you get the drift! I just had to share! I can only hope she continues to find exercise delightful and entrancing...

Hi all - I am mainly a forum lurker, but I would love to hear your experiences regarding part-time working or even your thoughts on the matter. I have only worked in the US for 4 years out in California and have spent most of my time working for consulting firms out here - so my view on this is...

Hi - I'm in Wiltshire and basically doing a roll call b/c it's SO hard to find any shops/online stores where I can purchase equipment to go with Cathe's workouts... anyone else in the UK? AND where do you purchase your high step or weights from if I can ask?:)

I was wondering whether any of you used any energy drinks (like ultra energy shake) while breastfeeding? All of the ones that I can find for sale stipulate not to use while pregnant or breastfeeding. I am just having a hard time eating enough calories while maintaining a relatively clean diet...

I was wondering if anyone had any cereal recommendations? I live in the UK, so I don't get all of the varieties of american cereals. But, I was wondering if grape nuts is a good choice? I don't like oatmeal except for the sugary packaged kind and am trying to reduce sugars from my diet. We...

Hello everyone, I thought that I would share the news of my arrival: Edie Rowan. She was delivered on December 4 and I am still finding my bearings as a new (and of course, sleep deprived) mom. :) Thanks for the support during pregnancy - if I hadn't found this forum, I think I would have...

Hi all, I just need some clothing advice as I am planning on buying some postpartum clothing now so it arrives to me overseas sometime in the next 2 months b/c xmas also slows up overseas mail (my parents forward items to me so I can bypass 30% customs tax in the UK). I am trying to gauge my...

My mil knows that working out is important to me even though she has never done it herself. I really like rher but... Anyway, today she called looking for DH (he was at blockbusters) and used the opportunity to talk to me about what she read about postpartum exercise. She knows that I am...

Does anyone know of a postpartum rotation for Cathe's workouts? I know that I have lost some of my fitness level since the pregnancy and it would be nice to have a 12 week plan to help post-pregnancy women get back into shape. There is a 12 week rotation posted elsewhere on the site, but my...

I just have a quick question for everyone. I am 27 weeks pregnant and recently started incorporating weights/strength training back into my routine in addition to the cardio. My strength has diminished a little bit obviously because I went about 9 weeks without it. Strangely, however, since I...

Hi, I am 20 weeks pregnant and rapidly out growing my usual workout gear. I was wondering if anyone could recommend an online store (because I am overseas) that sells fitness clothing and support belts for pregnant women? I just find that I also need some sort of belly support as my pelvis...

Hi all! I am new to this forum, but have been exercising to Cathe's videos for a year. I am also pregnant with my first baby and am at 13 weeks. I gave up exercising for about 4-5 weeks because I felt so awful - just the usual complaints. I have returned to about 70% of my normal routine...
