Over a month ago I decided to change my diet for the better because I was sick of being over weight and unwell. I cut out all the junk and started eating whole foods plus I upped my veggie and fruit and have been drinking water all the time. I take walks every day for at least an hour at a time...

Hi Cathe, I have a few of your workouts and have yet to start using them but plan to begin as soon as I decide which one will be best for me. I am not a stranger to weights and lifting but I feel I need a workout I can start and make improvements with slowly as I am not as fit as I used to...

Hello Cathe, I was wondering if the new 'Gym Style' workouts will be similar to your existing 'Slow and Heavy' Workout? I have been seriously considering the S&H DVD but would certainly wait for the new workouts if the Gym Style is to be similar. I know you probably havn't even started the...

Hi Cathe.. I have been interested in buying 'Kick, Punch & Crunch' and 'Slow and heavy' for some time and have yet to do so. How will they compare with two of your new titles 'Muscle Max' and 'Kick Max'? I know that Slow and heavy is a 3 workout set.. but how close do you think the new DVD...

Hi.. I found some weighted balls at Target recently. There were several sizes.. 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kilo's in all. They appear to be filled with sand? I have noticed a medicine ball is used in the Bootcamp workout and I think one of these could quite possibly substitiute for that but what about...

Hello, I have 3 DVD's.. the Power Hour+ dvd, Pure Strength and Pyramids. At the moment it isn't possible to have a barbell so I am going to use dumbells as many ladies have confirmed that you can successfully substitute dumbells in the exercises. So.. I am putting together a collection of...

Hi.. Can I ask any of you doing "Body For Life", what sort of cardio do you do? I invisaged that I could possibly do an aerobic dvd in my house to fulfill my cardio portions of the plan but I only have a Leslie Sansone, Walk away the pounds (3 mile) and a Susan Powter dvd. Are these going to...

Hi.. I read about how different workouts are geared towards different things. Can you tell me whether Power hour, MIS, Body Max and Pyramids are strength or endurance and how do I tell the difference between the two. I hope that's not a stupid question. Thanks so much, Kelly

Hello there.. I have 14 weeks to go before my family re-union. I imagine no one is going to care if I am 30lbs overweight but last time most of these people saw me I was well and in pretty good shape. For the past 3 years I have been busily caring for my daughter April through out her cancer...

Hello, I have two Cathe DVD titles "Power Hour" and "PUB/PLB". I want to begin some sort of rotation but have never done so before. Is it acceptable to do one workout each day? I read about doing different body parts each day to avoid over training but don't know how to apply that to these...

Hello! I was wondering.. How do I make a rotation using the 2 dvds I own: PUB/PLB and Power hour? Since the Power Hour dvd contains 3 seperate workouts can I do one each day? I hear so much about separating body parts to avoid over training. And the Pyramids workout is best done on two...

Hi, Is there anyone here who does heaps of cardio? Are there many runners here or hikers.. serious walkers. I wonder because I am interested in your eating habits. When I go out walking (over an hour a time) I often find that my appetite is lowered. Does excessive cardio effect muscle...

Hi all, I was hoping someone could offer me an opinion on this. About 5 years ago I embarked on a total change of life, I quit eating fatty foods and lots of sweets.. cut my fat intake down to about 20g a day from what was probably 6-8 times that previously (I really had a self indulent...

Hi, I live in Australia and have found a step that is reasonably priced but isn't quite the same dimensions as that which you use. It is: Length: 35.5" (90cm) Width : 13" (33cm) Height: 10" (25cm) Of course, the step that cathe is using is longer by a...

Hi, I have Power Hour and the Pyramids DVD's here and I want to use these two titles to start working out this year. My problem is that I don't have much money right now and have only dumbbells, 1 pair of 2.5kg (5.5lb each) and 1 pair of 5kg (11lb each) Do you think I can manage with what I...

I posted this question but I think it may not have worked. I have seen copies of her brand new videos on ebay when I know they are brand new. I thought only Cathe sold her DVD's thru her company only? Why are there copies on ebay already? Just curious.. probably naive.. hopefully not stupid...

Based on the ammount of exercise you do during a Cathe workout I imagine you'd have to eat a bit more to keep up with the demands put on your body, right? If you were doing the points program how many extra points would you need? I wouldn't think the paltry 2 points (australia) we get would do...

Hi there, Could you please help me work out a program using these two workouts. I read the combinations that people devise but wouldn't know where to start with this.. I am totally new to it. I guess I am aiming at working out 5 days a week.. 6 maximum (1 day rest) but I don't know how to do...

Did any of you start doing Cathe when you were an absolute beginner? When your level of fitness was so low that you would break a sweat just opening the DVD case? I have been out of shape for a while now (about 3 years) and want to start with Cathe as soon as I get my Power Hour + .. do you...

Hello everyone! I don't own a barbell. Can you substitute dumbells successfully in most of the workouts? I have purchased The Intensity series Pyramids (don't have it yet) and will soon get Power Hour + but won't have a barbell for a while yet. Can I use my dumbells? How far do you think I...
