    Cathe - it still 'works'...

    Hi Cathe, Today I did StepWorks for the first time in forever. When I ordered STS (it was actually my husband who encouraged me to order it - and I am still nervous :7) I decided to include your classics DVD- I had gotten rid of my videos quite a few years back. Anyway, back in 1999, the very...

    order or sequence for 4-day split

    Hi Cathe - is there an ideal order or sequence for the days of the 4-day split? I can't quite figure it out. I am currently starting with KickBox, then Hi, then Lo, then Boot Camp. Thoughts? Joanna

    Wow and Thanks

    Cathe- Just wanted you to know how great the new cardio segments are on 4-Day Split. You have surpassed expectations once again. I always expect a lot, but this time received more than I could have imagined - as a true cardio junkie, these are among the tops you have done!! Since 1999 you...

    heart rate question

    Hi Cathe, I recently purchased a heart rate monitor at my husband's suggestion - he is a physician and very interested in my 'staying in the zone'. Here's my question - it seems hard to stay in the zone on some of your workouts. Is this a measure of overall fitness or age or both or something...

    trippin' on dreams...

    OK fellow road trippers - this is really weird. I had a VIVID dream last night that I was at the Road Trip - and was so confused! I couldn' account for the passage of time but everyone else thought it was no big deal. I even had conversations with Cathe, looked at the cool stuff for sale, died...

    kudos Cathe

    Hey there - I just returned fron a cruise and am happy about two things. I managed to eat well ( at the 'Spa Cafe' for one) and I held my own with a personal trainer. He actually told me that my form was excellent, and where did I learn this? I said, from my DVD 'trainer' of course!! So, dear...

    Road Trip - how many can attend?

    Cathe - last time I was not available to even consider the road trip. I do remember that there was some issue about how many can attend? Is it first come first serve or can you accomodate as many as want to come? I have not indicated on the other post, but as of now any date will work for me...

    Muscle Max band question

    Hi Cathe, Today I was struggling a little bit with my band doing lateral raises. I am 5'9" - is it reasonable to not wrap my hand like you do (so I get a little extra length)? BTW - I am really enjoying your new workouts as well. My husband bought me a new step and a new set of weights for...

    barbell after shoulder surgery

    Hello Cathe, I had shoulder surgery in May and have almost completely recovered. My surgeon has cleared me to resume full activity. I told him I was having trouble holding the barbell on my shoulders and he was not surprised but not worried either. Until this feels comfortable, what form...

    Stretch question

    Hi Cathe, Great new workouts! I am feeling my legs in a whole new way! A question about the first stretch segment on Stretch Max. Towards the end you have us lift one leg at a time while bent at the waist with hands on the floor. When I did this my thigh started to feel very tight and...

    Steps in new DVDs

    Hi Cathe, You may have answered this, but here goes: Which steps are OK to use in the new beg/int DVDs? The Step one shows the long step, the Body Fusion a slightly shorter one. If I am a long time 'user' :-) is it safe to pick and choose? For Body Fusion I was thinking the high step would...

    Mini Step Question...

    If I am 5'9" and have six risers, is this adequate? I noticed when I used it for the first time that you, Cathe, have six as well. I must say it was plenty difficult! My husband assures me that height does not matter that much (i.e. leg length will not necessarily be as different as you might...

    PLB:What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Cathe, Yesterday when I did PLB, I had real trouble with the stability ball. I am starting to get used to the ball in general, but I don't think I'm doing the exercises correctly. During the first ball exercise when you put one heel on the ball and the other leg in the air, what should be...

    Crunches w/ Med Ball in BC & ME

    Hi Cathe, I have a question: when doing the crunches with the medicine ball in Boot Camp and Muscle Endurance, how far up should I come? In BC it seems you come up into a V with your torso and one leg; in ME you seem to come part way up, but Cedie is in a V. Should my goal be to get the ball...
