Cathe, Why did you decide to not do the heart rate check with the counter in the new videos? I really, really liked that. (Just wondering, you still can do no wrong.) Sharon

Cathe, My goal is weight loss/control & definition. Although my abs are strong, I still have a layer of fat in the gut area I feel like I need to Lean Out all over abit. I like to have alot of variety so I don't get bored. This is what I came up with. Cross train express one week. 6days and...

Cathe, I was just thinking as I was working out today to Cardio Kicks and I wondered something. You've made so many videos and, like anything, thinking changes and gets updated. Is there anything that you have changed your mind about. Something you used to do or think was effective that you...

Cathe, I am very new to kickboxing but I love it. I am usually very sore in my upper back the next day. However, could you please try to explain "snap and recoil" and "Smash Knee" I'm not certain I am doing it right. By the way, I have done all your new ones except the total kickboxing and...

Cathe, Another question. I, too, am 5 feet tall. I always do your step videos on 8", but my knees have always concerned me. Bad knees run in my family and although mine don't hurt after stepping, they creek. For example, if I step in the morning anytime I go up the stairs the rest of the...

Cathe, Thanks so much for the new tapes. I just finished Step & Intervals. I loved the music and the routine. It was great. The intensity, however, seemed quite a bit lighter than I-Max. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining!) But the chest was a killer!! I plan to do the six tapes for...

Cathe, I am discouraged regarding my workouts. I don't see the results I want to see. My goal is to lose body fat. Legs, butt & gut are the problem areas. I don't have too far to go (last 10lbs & yes, I'm being realistic) I don't eat like a saint but I eat better than average. Here's my...

I bought a new pair of aerobic shoes. My question is: Can new shoes effect your leg workout differently? I mean, I did Firm's Standing Legs and it seems like I felt it differently. Could it have been the new shoes?

I have hurt my hamstring. I don't know how. I did IMAX last Friday then moved my mom Friday and Saturday then pulled weeds for 2 hours on Sunday. One Monday "OH MY GOSH" they hurt. I thought they were just sore but one has gotten better and the other has gotten worse and it has been a week...

I am 29 years old and have an 8 year old son. I am considering having another baby. However, I have a great fear of gaining weight and not being able to lose it. I lost 25 pounds a have kept it off for about 4 years. I had a very hard time losing my baby weight. My heart tells me it is...

Cathe, Read your post on how to figure your heartrate. Now I understand that part. But how do I know how many beats per minute that is? I mean, if I stop and take my pulse how long should I take it? 10 seconds? and how many beats should be in that 10 seconds? This has always frustrated me...

I'm ready to purchase my next Cathe video. This is what I have: PS Series, IMAX, MIS, MIC, Body Max, Mega Step Blast, Step Heat. I want another step video with good intensity. My favorite step video of all of these is (hard to choose) Body Max. What should I get next? Thanks for the...

Cathe, I have a complaint regarding my chest. (and for once its not about the size, ha,ha) I am having a difficult time getting any strength gains in this area. I can only do about 5 toe push ups and I use a 25 - 30 pound barbell for chest press in the PS tape. Any suggestions?

Cathe, I know muscles swell, I heard you say it in PS BBA. However, I did PS Legs the other day and I felt like my thighs were swollen (not to mention Very Very sore) for days. Could they have been or was it in my mind? Sharon

I know Cathe is busy right now but maybe someof you can answer this question. Cathe mentions cardio sessions of 60 minutes in some of her posts. Does that mean 60 minutes total with warm-up and cool down or 60 minutes with your heart elevated. I just feel like I would fall over if I went...

Cathe, You recommend an interval workout once a week. What does an interval workout do for you exactly? I know it burns a lot of calories but I think there is more. What does that "push" you give your body do? Could you please explain? Thanks, Sharon

Sometimes it is hard to stay motivated to keep exercising. I think everyone experiences slumps. I am putting a list together for myself of the reasons to keep on going and never stop. I thought I would pick your brains as well and use this as a way to express our own motivation. So, what...

Cathe, I have noticed in some posts you may eat a "PR Bar" prior to workout. Is this the "PR Bar" you get in the store or through the mail? and I have also noticed that you suggest keeping a routine for several weeks or months. I have always just tried to do aerobic 4-5x/week and strength...
