Cathe, can you please explain whether or not deep squats are safe, and why you do not include them in your workouts? I've always been fine doing the half squats in your videos and have had no knee issues, but my husband recently got into weight lifting and is using a program called Strong...

Hi everyone. I haven't been to these forums in quite a while, and thought I'd check in and take a look at the slideshows for the new workouts. Forgive me if this was already discussed, but I noticed that Jai isn't in any of the ones posted so far. Is she no longer a cast member in Cathe's...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on what to do, because I'm so frustrated this morning with my progress (or lack of) that I'm nearly in tears. Here's my story. I'm 5'10" and started at 171 lbs. back in January when I first purchased my bodybugg (it's a device that...

Have any of you out there tried EAS brand protein powder? My current supply of Wellements Pro-Rated that I bought from Costco way back just expired, so I went back to Costco to buy more, only to find that they don't carry it any more, they only carry this EAS stuff. If I remember correctly, the...

My knees have both been giving me problems the past few days and have been causing me a bit of pain every now and then just when I'm walking around. I recently did the first stretch in Stretch Max (the one with no equipment), and that has a few yoga-type balancing poses that I figure might be...

My husband and I have decided to purchase a second stability ball so that we can work out simultaneously, and we are having the worst luck finding a ball to match the one we currently have! Our current ball is a blue, 75 cm Gaiam ball and is made of kind of a translucent rubber-y plastic...

The heaviest pair of dumbbells that I currently own are 20 lbs., and I'm having a tough time finding 25's or 30's anywhere. I would much rather purchase Neoprene ones, but I'm getting the feeling they don't make those heavier than 15's - my 20's are metal and, unfortunately, round so they roll...

Has anyone here ever owned a pair of Ryka mules, or any other sporting type shoe that doesn't have a back? My situation is this: I was recently diagnosed with heel bursitis and my doctor wants to do surgery, but I'd rather wait it out a few months and see if it will heal on its own if I avoid...

Hi Cathe, My husband and I think that some of the music choices in the videos are excellent. Is there a way to get a soundtrack song list of some of the videos? I know that Big Beat does the songs, but it's tough sifting through their entire collection of samples for a song that may not even...

My husband and I have been working out with Cathe for about a year now, and started doing her rotations three months ago, which we love. She tends to have a day or two a week on her rotations where she puts in "steady state run" or "60 minute bike ride", or other non-video activities. We live in...

I just got the CTX DVDs, and even after taking a look at the them, I'm still pretty confused about how they work. Are they all separate workouts? Or are they different combinations of the same things? The way they're set up is fairly confusing. When Cathe says to do "CTX kickbox" on a rotation...

I'm hoping to get some opinions on just how important it is to stretch at the end of a workout. I always do the stretches, since they feel good and I feel like they're good for me, but my husband almost always skips his (we follow Cathe rotations and usually do the same videos each morning - I...

This is my second month doing an "official" Cathe video rotation, and I'm loving it! Despite having received a HUGE order of her videos a couple of months ago, I'm noticing that I still have to sub for quite a few videos, so I'm thinking of placing another order soon...}( . I've already...

After hearing the raves on this board about them, I've decided to go ahead and get myself a pair of Rykas for Cathe workouts. I did a search but couldn't quite find which type of Rykas I should be looking for. What is the consensus on which type of Ryka is best to use for these workouts (high...

My husband was working out to Cathe the other day and the medium-resistance Firm pilates band that we use somehow snapped in half while doing those outer thigh work in GS Legs. Later that day, we went to Target and picked up a 3-pack of pilates bands of various tensions, thinking all pilates...

I've been following Cathe's August rotation, and just got done with Imax 3. My feet, particularly the ball of my right foot, is starting to hurt from all the jumping and pounding involved with the Imax's, not to mention the high-lo from MIC, which I did the other day for the first time (and...

I'm doing Cathe's current August rotation, and she's got us doing Leaner Legs this week and CTX Kickbox and CTX all Upper Body in a couple of weeks. I don't have either of these videos just yet. Would S&H Lower Body be an ok sub for LL? I could do GS or PLB instead, but she's already got those...

This is listed as part of the August rotation, but I can't seem to find the workout in Cathe's store. Which DVD is this on? Can I just sub Legs & Glutes for it? Thanks!

When does Cathe typically post the rotations for the next month? I've been waiting for the August one all day and it's still not up and I'm impatient. :P I just got sixteen more of her workouts yesterday and I'm so eager to try them all! I'm hoping the next rotation uses some of the older...

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I just saw it again and wanted to share in case any of you haven't seen it. Totally cracks me up. http://youtube.com/watch?v=v9TzJAbubDM
