    Further proof of just how awesome Cathe is!

    Where is the sugar?

    Check this out if you haven't seen it before - gives a nice visual of the amount of sugar in different types of food. It doesn't distinguish between types of sugar, but was still interesting none the less. Enjoy! http://www.sugarstacks.com/

    What Cathe move can you just NOT do - or know you look hilarious while you try?

    No matter how hard I try - and how slow I go - I can NOT do fast foot repeaters on Step Blast. I just stick with regular repeaters. What about you?

    For those of us with "less than perfect skin"

    I owe a thank you to....

    ALL OF YOU! I am fairly new to Cathe videos - I have been doing them about 3-4 months. I love it - but its still exercise. I am working hard to change my negative attitude about working out into a positive one, but that whole "exercise is evil" sometimes creeps back in and I lose all...

    The Start of a Long Fitness Journey...

    Hi Cathe (and everyone else) - I just wanted to thank you for helping me start getting back into shape. I have struggled with weight my entire life - I was overweight through about my 3rd year of college. At that time, I decided to make a change. I worked out for about a year and a half...
