    Blindly mailed back my first set of DVD's

    I really really hope there are no problems with the new ones I got in the mail. I have no idea when I'll get to them to check them out. Has anyone had any problems with their replacement DVD's? My first set played perfectly.

    How long should a DVD collect dust?

    I'm amassing quite a ginormous collection of workout videos and DVD's. I feel somewhat guilty about having so many. Also, it gets overwhelming wondering when I'm going to have the time to do them all. How do I know when it's time to donate some? Does anyone use any sort of "policy"--such as...

    How come so many people sell "All Step"?

    Just curious. It was the first Cathe I bought from Ebay and it seems there are always lots of them for sale, but not much else from CTX. So, how come everyone sells this one?

    How about a "bonus cardio cooldown" for premixes, mix & match?

    This is just a suggestion I thought of as my heart was racing at the end of a cardio premix on one of the new workouts (I think it was the Body Max 2 time saver cardio). I thought it would be nice if there was an option for me to go to a cardio cool down with Cathe and the gals instead of...

    Ryka Instructor style shoes?

    Has anyone tried these yet? I am thinking of getting them, but wanted to see a review or two first.:-)

    What happened to the heart rate check?

    Hey Cathe! I did Power Max over the weekend and just loved the little "break" I got to do a heart rate/perceived exertion check. Why don't your workouts have those any more? I was mainly just curious (and hoping you might throw them back in on future workouts). There is just something...

    Define "advanced"....how do you know?

    Just curious here. How does one know when they have graduated to "advanced level?" Sometimes, I feel advanced, but I still have no desire to do a workout called "The Terminator"--and I'm a little scared of Drill Max and Cardio Fusion after reading some reviews. Yet, I do other Cathe advanced...

    Do you get yearly physical exams?

    Just curious after reading about all of our health concerns. I have never had a total body physical--just paps/breast exams. If you do get yearly physicals, how old were you when you started?

    Ryka Enlight II and the hunt for the best step shoe!

    I've wasted way too much money on shoes for working out. I haven't called Ryka directly for the Enlight II's because I don't want to fall in love with a discontinued shoe. How many people need to call them before they get the hint that maybe they shouldn't discontinue them?:o So, my latest...

    How many rest days before I lose muscle?

    Hi Cathe, I am feeling particularly run down lately and felt like I maybe need a break from working out. I've been going 5-6 days a week since March. I've been steadily increasing intensity and time and I think my body needs a rest. I was just wondering if you could tell me how many days I...

    I've got to be crazy! Bought 6 workouts on Ebay...

    Why do I do this to myself? Someone (probably someone here) was selling 6 Cathe videos--none of which I have. There were no bids with 4 minutes left in the auction, so like any Cathe fan with an itchy bidding finger, I bid...and won. How long do you think I'll have to live to learn all the...

    Imax 3 or Low Max

    I am adding interval training to my rotation next month, but the only Imax workout I have right now is Imax 2. I would like to add on of these. I'm a bit afraid of Imax 3 from reading how tough it is--but in a way that just makes me want to conquer it more. On the other hand, I wonder if I...

    Colposcopy 3 years after hysterectomy for cancer

    OK...I just need a little comforting here. I just got a call from my clinic that my pap showed abnormal cells and I need to go back for a colposcopy. As I understand it, that is how they determine if it is cancer or not. I asked on the phone if the cells were precancerous and was told, "No...

    Step Blast vs. Imax 2 ?

    I have Imax 2, but I've been afraid to even try it. I've had Step Blast for a while and can get through the whole thing, but I have to modify most of the blasts. So, is Imax 2 going to be even tougher? I thought it may be ok since there is a recovery after each blast--something you don't...

    Used HRM w/ Step Blast yesterday--too much beeping!

    I just used a heart rate monitor for the first time. It's a Polar F4. I plugged in all my info and it came up with 120-156 being my target heart range. Well, I was already at 157 by the end of combo 1 and trying to modify down. I ended up having to modify nearly the whole workout to make the...

    30-40 minutes to work out--Is it enough?

    Hi Cathe! First off, let me say thank you for helping me to become the fittest I have ever been! I have been progressing with your workouts now for about 6 months. Of course, all this time I've had an hour a day to work out. My work hours are now changing and I will only have 30-40 minutes...

    MIO Heart Rate Monitors--feedback?

    I'm looking at buying one of these--the shape design that tracks calories in/out and HRM. Does anyone have one that could give me any feedback on them? Thanks!

    A suggestion for the blog...a "pep talk" from Cathe?

    Every once in a while, I need extra motivation. I was thinking it would be so cool if I could download a Cathe "pep talk" from the blog site or just the web site. Could you please get a webcast of Cathe cheering us on on your "to do" list to help me drag my butt off my chair to work out? I...

    When you miss a workout in a rotation...WDYD?

    I'm just curious what everyone else does when they have to miss a workout in their rotation. Do you try to make it up later? I seem to have some anal retentive problem with skipping a workout altogether and I try to make it up even if it means doing two in one day. Is anyone able to just skip...
