    Step Recommendations

    I've been away from the Cathe workouts and forum for a few years now and am just coming back to it. I did basic step yesterday and realized that step is a lot of fun! I have the two step videos from the beginner's rotation, basic step and low impact step. What are some good step workouts that...

    Worksheets

    After quite a long hiatus from Cathe (and other workouts, too, for the most part), I am getting back into Cathe's workouts. I used to have the weights worksheets that I got from Lainie's website a while back, but some time ago my external hard drive (where it was stored) crashed. I just did a...

    Skin care for preteen

    I hope someone here might be able to help. My 9 year old (almost a preteen!!) daughter was talking to me yesterday about properly washing her face. I've always had to remind her to wash her face in the past and she has usually used either just a plain wet washcloth or sometimes she's used the...

    Help, I need advice from afternoon/evening exercisers

    I have been a morning exerciser for years. For a long time I would do my workout around 5:30-ish and had no problems. This last semester (I'm a student and commute 35 minutes one way) I would get up at 6, have breakfast, and then work out just after 8am after taking DD to school because I...

    Magic Bullet Blender...FYI (a little long, but good to know)

    I have a Magic Bullet and have really enjoyed using it to make my protein shakes. I contacted customer service to try to order a new crossblade and gasket and am stunned at what they are requiring of me since I don't have my proof of purchase. I received it as a gift about 2 years ago probably...

    OT-For Pet Owners

    I just adopted a new puppy on Monday and it turns out she’s not housebroken! We have had a few accidents and in the past I would use the Woolite Oxy Deep (dual canister) carpet cleaner but I recently discovered something that works just as well or better and actually smells good and not like...

    BFL It's Saturday! 10/20

    Good morning everyone! I hope you don't mind my starting the thread today. I am so excited to get in a workout this morning as this past week has been...well...off. I'm planning on doing LIS and some of Tae Bo Rockin' Abs. I figure I won't feel as bad tonight at the Melting Pot knowing that...

    BFL for Tuesday 10/9

    Good morning everyone! I hope you don't mind that I started today's thread. I'm up earlier than normal to get my cardio in before DD & DD wake up because after DD goes to school I have to take the dog to the vet. I got my elliptical yesterday so I'm really excited to use it! I have my ipod...

    How do you fit in yoga?

    I love yoga and really need to do it more often for stretching, but I can't seem to fit it in to my routine. I want to be sure I'm getting in my weights and my cardio and I just don't know where to fit it in. I generally work out for about an hour a day in the mornings (although I'm willing to...

    Step Video Suggestion

    I am a beginner to Cathe's step videos and I really enjoy them but I am still learning the moves. I have mastered Basic Step and am doing pretty good with Low Impact Step. I have SJP/Step Blast, plus Basic Step, LIS, and Low Max (does that count as a step video?) but I do not think I'm quite...

    Cathe, my 8 year old did Pyramid Lower Body!!!

    I had to share this with you because it tickled me so much. My 8 year old daughter went to her friend's house earlier wearing sweats so they could exercise with a TV show. When she got back, she told me they did a workout with a lady named Cathe. Apparently they did Pyramid Lower Body on...

    Any others from Colorado here?

    The other roll call threads made me wonder if anyone else is from Colorado? I'm from Loveland!

    My ego is a little bruised now, but motivated!!

    Today was my first day doing Butts & Guts. I decided on the timesaver as I am not used to doing workouts over 1 hour at this point. I didn't realize how long it's been since I did a serious weights workout and it really put me in my place! I wasn't able to finish it and realized that I need...

    Time Question

    I was looking at a few of Cathe's rotations and am interested in two in particular: Fat Loss & Strength Building (Dec 06)and Shock Your Body (Nov 06). These look like they are rather time consuming and I was curious to know how all of you fit these kinds of things into your routine? Usually...

    My first step workout ever!

    Okay, so I did Basic Step for the first time this morning....step workouts are so much fun! I'll be honest and tell you that it will probably take me 1-2 more times to get the moves down for that one (and it's just the basic step!), but for the most part I did really well! The step/straddle...

    Might as well introduce myself as well!

    Hi everyone, I'm Jill. I have a minor in geology, thus the name geojill. I live in beautiful Colorado where it is currently very hot! I've been a lurker here for a while and so far have only done Push Pull, Supersets, and Muscle Max. I always did Tae Bo for my cardio. I have purchased...

    Opinion Needed! Kick Max or KPC?

    I love kickboxing and have done quite a bit of Tae Bo but am looking for something new. Which would you recommend, Kick Max or Kick, Punch and Crunch? I noticed that Kick Max has low impact premixes, which I like. I am looking for a butt kicking workout that will make me sweat but also has a...

    For early morning workout-ers

    Do you ever have a hard time with energy? I used to do early morning workouts but found that many times my energy was lagging because i didn't have any fuel in my body after sleeping all night. I am looking to get back to my early morning workouts and was hoping for some advice or tips...

    LIC Question

    Hi everyone, I am new here :-) I was wondering how much room is needed to do LIC due to the step. I have never done step workouts and I've only done Cathe's Push/Pull so far (although I just bought the pyramid series). I am looking for a new challenge for cardio and if you have any...
