Hi All, Just wanted to share a little variation I made to the HSTA workout today - instead of doing leg presses like Cathe and Crew, I subbed High Step climbs (think Firm Tall Box climbs) with no weight. I changed legs when Cathe did so ended up doing 16 climbs each side. I used 5 risers under...

Hi All! I know this will probably embarass her no end, but I just wanted to pay a little tribute, and say a BIG public "THANKYOU" to DebbieH. Not only has she (and the rest of you, of course!;-) ) made me feel incredibly welcome here, she has also gone out of her way to help me out in a...

Hi All! I am looking for some advanced stretch workouts, preferably available on DVD. I already have the Aussie Fit Stretch and Flex workout, and have (of course!!) ordered Cathe's new stretch workout DVD. However, I am looking for something else that will really challenge my flexibilty and...

Hi All! I haven't posted here much lately due to a difficult 2nd pregnancy, which has now resulted in me being booked in to be induced on Monday of next week. I will be 38 weeks by then, and the Doctors are happy with the size/health of the baby (my son came at 38 weeks and was 8lb 9oz, so I...

Hi All, I realise Cathe is away, but was hoping for some help from the "educated crowd"!! I'm currently not able to do one arm (or double arm) rows as it is causing pinchment in my shoulders. I have tried modifying to a more upright position and it makes no difference. I am just wondering if...

Hi All! I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with No 2 and for the last day or so have been experiencing alot of pain in my left breast. It is only in my left breast which aches and stings and is very tender to touch and I keep getting shooting pains through it. I didn't have anything like this...

Hi Cathe! I'm wondering if you can help me with something? I always get cramp whilst doing the hamstring raises in Legs and Glutes. I have adjusted my position, altered the height of the High Step up and down, and tried a hamstring stretch before doing this particular exercise, but it makes...

Hi! I have problems with my lower back and knees, and have also been suffering with sore/stiff achilles tendons recently, and am thinking of sticking to just strength/endurance type of workouts for a little while, as cardio seems to aggravate these problems. I am intrigued to know if...

Hi All! I am nearly 18 weeks pregnant with #2. I am still able to do plank work and stability ball exercises including full pikes on the ball without any discomfort. However, it occurs to me that whilst I CAN still do them, should I be? Or am I causing unknown damage to me/the baby which may...

Hi All, I would dearly love to do my Instructor Training and am looking for some advice from those of you who have already done it. I have had a baby fairly recently (he is now 10 months old) and would dearly love to do my training, but would also like to have another baby relatively soon. I...

Has anyone purchased the DVD of this workout, and if so, have you had a go at the Stability Ball routine (bonus feature on the DVD?? Is it me or is it REALLY hard!!?? For a 20 minute workout it certainly packs a punch! Kathy Smith does one-legged pikes, one legged tucks with an oblique twist...

Hi All, I just wondered if anyone else out there was still struggling to do Imax 2 all the way through with no modifications/breaks? I absolutely love this workout, but it really does kick my backside every time!! Each time I do it, I say to myself, "ok -this time I'm going all the way...

Hi Cathe or SNM! I was just wondering if those of us who live outside the US/Canada would be able to purchase all of/parts of the High Step? There seem alot of International Cathe fans who would value the opportunity of being able to purchase this piece of equipment. However, despite an earlier...

Hi All, I just wondered how may of my fellow mum's go running with their baby? I did it for the first time today - only 2 miles and I alternated running with walking and I really enjoyed it! I kept thinking that running was out of the question now that I have my little boy (he's 7 months now)...

Hi Sandi! I was thinking about you and Ryan the other day and just wondered how you were getting on, as we had our little boys around the same time?! I hope you and your family are well? Daniel is growing like the clappers and, at 16 weeks, now weighs 16lbs 7oz!!! I have been weaning him...

Hi, I am an international customer and was wondering is the $24.00 shipping rate a flat rate no matter how many DVD's I order? Also, I notice you have a pre-sale price of $99.00 for the Body Blast DVD's Vols 1-3. As I am interested in buying Vol 1, Vol 2 & the Timesaver DVD's, would it be...

Hi All, I am thoroughly enjoying all of Cathe's new workouts, and especially think she has excelled herself with the ab work (LOVE the stabilty ball work in PUB!!). I love core work, planks, etc and find that these work my abdominals in a way that traditional ab work just doesn't come close...

Hi All, I did Bootcamp for the first time today and loved it - tough but fun!! Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else has trouble doing those squat thrust climbers? I am very tall and have long legs, and found that I didn't really have enough room between my chest and the floor when in the...

Hi All, Just to let you know - DH and I had a baby son on Tuesday 14th January at 12.29am. We've called him Daniel and he weighed in at a healthy (and somewhat painful!!) 8lb 9oz. Labour was not a happy experience, although I wont bore (or scare!) you with the details - however, Daniel is...

Hi All, I just wondered how all of us expectant Mum's are doing? I am currently a little less than 3 weeks away from my due date now, and have just started to get nervous about the prospect of labour. It's just occuring to me that I am going to have to do the equivalent of squeezing a...
