    More Step Workouts!

    I have EVERY Cathe workout and love them. It seems the trend though in cardio is drills and high-impact. I would love a series of cardio with step routines. I just love those, and the older ones have such great vocal music. Thanks

    $9.97

    On the Cathe Live site (Cathe Live), I can click on subscribe and it offers me a monthly charge of $9.97. What comes with that charge? In other words, can you give me some more details--how many workouts? can I watch the workouts more than once? is new content added each month? Can I sign up for...

    Jersey Shore

    This morning I did Fit and Firm. Remember that one?? :-) I used heavier weights, including ankle weights, than Cathe and crew and found it quite a good workout. I definitely felt my muscles worked--especially chest and outer thigh. The pretty beach scene (OK it was painted but innovative...

    Dips and Shoulder Pain

    Hi Cathe, And thank you. Your workouts have meant so much to me. Quick question: At the end of Bis and Tris (X-Train) are the tricep dips on the floor. These are in other workouts, too, such as Body Max II. For some reason, I always feel discomfort in my shoulders (top and to the side)...

    So Disappointed . . .

    in myself! Athletic Training was awesome! But I had to stop at 12 minutes. Yes, 12 minutes, and catch my breath. Before kids (2 under 3), I could do Maximum Intensity Cardio without stopping, but Athletic Training got me at 12 minutes! It was an amazing workout and gives me something to work...

    Terrible DOMS

    Hi Cathe and everyone! After two children almost back-to-back, I'm working hard to get back in shape. I used to be able to do STS and Gym Styles and other workouts without too much soreness afterwards, but I did Gym Styles recently--just the upper body--and felt completely incapacitated. I...

    Low Impact Challenge Premixes

    Has anyone tried the premixes in Low Impact Challenge yet? I love the idea of multiple premixes so I will never get bored with this workout, but I'm curious about the breakdown. Thanks!

    Need More Cushioned Work Chair After Trisets!

    I did Trisets Lower Body yesterday and the time flew by. With a new baby and a toddler, I had very limited time and figured that I could squeeze this one in. The dixie cups (well my cups needed to be a taller size) really worked and forced me to stretch farther and bend deeper. I really felt...

    Advice on Sliding Discs

    I have puzzle mats over a concrete floor. The discs work but not so smooth. Does anyone else have puzzle mats and use the discs? Or is it worth buying an area rug? Also, what is the recommended use--with the black cover for wood and vinyl floors, and without the black cover for rugs? Thank...

    DOMS During Pregnancy

    Hi everyone, I'm expected my second child in July and lurk in and out of the forums (my first child is keeping me busy and away from the forums!). I do have a quick question. Before this pregnancy, I was much more in shape (well obviously). I was on my second circuit of STS and almost able...

    Workout Book

    Hi Cathe and team! I would definitely purchase a workout book, similar to the STS guide, that listed the exercises in Cathe's workouts with places where I could keep track of the weight used. I have handwritten notes on what weights I use for each workout, but it would be so nice to have one...

    DOMs after Meso 3

    This is my second time through STS and I love it! I really felt stronger and was amazed at the weights I could lift by the end. My question is . . . after Meso 1 and 2, I almost always felt DOMs or at least some soreness after the workouts. I really felt worked out! But after Meso 3, even...

    Postnatal pain in the . . . hips

    I was wondering if anyone else has the type of pain I'm experiencing. It's deep in my hips/lower back, especially on one side. I feel it when I'm sitting and breastfeeding the baby (never thought I would have a sitting injury!). I also feel it when I'm standing and swaying with my baby in my...

    A Few Things I Learned about Pregnancy and Exercise

    #1 Give yourself a break in the first trimester. You are growing a little person inside. You will be tired! If your exercise schedule slows down, don't worry; your energy will return in the second trimester. #2 Marching in place worked better for me than jumping or any other high-impact moves...

    Cry it Out?????

    Hi ladies, My baby is about 3.5 months old, and I'm having trouble getting her to bed in the evenings. We have a routine--no napping after 6 pm, bath, diaper/clothes change, read, feed, rock, into crib. I swear she is asleep in my arms when I put her in the crib, but the moment I lower her...

    I've squat rolled and can't get up! (cardio core circuit)

    Hi everyone, I just finished Cardio Core Circuit. Wow! I've never done anything like it. It was a great morning routine, and I was able to really put my all into most of the cardio. (However, I had some trouble with the cardio that incorporated a pushup.) But the moves that really stood out...

    Infant Day Care

    Hi everyone, My first baby is due this October, and I have started to look at day care centers (I prefer centers over home day care). We have three day care centers in my area that offer infant care, ranging from $305/week to $340/week for full-time care (5 days). I've visited them all, and...

    Help. I'm So Tired!

    Hi Ladies, I hope you don't mind me joining the forum. I'm 11-weeks pregnant--my first! I have been a fanatic Catheite for about two years (I'm so disappointed not to be able to go on the roadtrip this year). I have just about every DVD/video and would sometimes do two of her workouts a day...
