    Cardio Workouts with Weighted Gloves

    Had an interesting workout this a.m. Short on time, so I did a premix from the Low Max DVD (step combos only). To make things interesting, I used 2 lb weighted gloves (I usually use 1 lb for Cathe's Kick Max). Has anyone else ever tried this? I tried hard not to do any swinging of my arms...

    I Did It!!!

    I am so happy! FINALLY......I did a HIS routine and it was from the 4 Day Split DVDs. The HIS routines always intimated me, so I never even attempted them (always did LIS). I remember reading one of someone's previous posts to first try and do the routine without a step. That didn't work for...

    Love the 4DS Premixes!

    I finally got my new DVDs! I've been anxiously awaiting them for what seems like an eternity! My first and only workout was LIS with weights first. I wasn't sure what to expect and was surprised to find I only worked shoulders. Not complaining because in the short time I was given I couldn't...

    How Were You Introduced to Cathe/First Tape or DVD?

    Ruth, (Sorry.....my husband called - on his way to work. Got caught up in conversation) Thank you so much for your kind words. They really mean a lot. Funny you told me that story about your friend. My husband retired from the Air Guard (he was a weekend warrior) about 3 years ago. It...

    Maryland-- are we represented here?

    Ruth, I like Annapolis, too. Haven't been there in awhile, though. My sister came for a visit and we went down to O'Riordin's (spelling?) for dinner. I've been hitting a lot of the restaurants in Pasadena, lately. Olive and Sesame is GREAT! It's an upscale Chinese/Japanese restaurant -...

    How Were You Introduced to Cathe/First Tape or DVD?

    My first Cathe workout was Interval Max on VHS. I used to be a firm "Firm"ee and would never think of straying. Once the workouts were offered as Infomercial material, I started looking elsewhere for a good workout. Additionally, the Firm series wasn't "doing it" for me anymore. Tried...

    Maryland-- are we represented here?

    Hi, Ruth! Would you believe I've only been to Ellicott City once?! I love it and hope to go back someday. It's not like I have a million miles to go from Millersville - there is just soooooo much to do in the State. Where in Severn do you work? My husand and I are always over at FGGM...

    Dumb Question Really Dumb

    Not a dumb question, Rocky. You will include the weight of the bar when adding weights. For instance, if your bar weighs 15 lbs and you want to lift 45 lbs, add 15 lbs to each side of the bar.

    ::: CHEETAHS ::: Wed., 6.27

    Good Morning Everyone! Great news! Got my BBC delivered last night. I couldn't wait to try it this a.m. Here's how my a.m. went: Convinced my DH that running with me this a.m. would be better than running this afternoon since the humidity levels would make it feel like 99 degrees. Poor...

    Sunny: I forgot to answer yesterday's question about when my first race was. I am doing the Baltimore Marathon on 13 October. However, I'm not running it, but I'm going to Powerwalk the Half-Marathon with my husband. I actually was going to walk the Marathon (full), but now my DH wants to do...

    Wendy: I hope the visit to the zoo was nice. Is the zoo where you live nice? If its' not and not small, it "can" be a not-so-pleasant experience. I hope that wasn't the case for you. DHs can mean sooo well in lots of things except diet, don't you think (ref: OB)? I can't wait to get the...

    ::: CHEETAHS ::: the heat is on! Tues., 6.26

    Wendy: I LOVE this! This is actually the first "Tramp Stamp" I've liked. I like others I've seen, but this is by far the best. You have (I can't remember) two other tats? What are those of? Got the PB2 last night! :D I absolutely cannot wait to try it. The jars are smaller than I...
