Hello! I would like to start a positive, motivational check-in thread for people interested in starting the Xtrain rotation (when it comes :)) and doing crossfit. I have gotten in a fitness rut, I've been doing les mills bodypump and running with some low impact Cathe mixed in, and am ready...

Hello everyone! I am a Cathe enthusiast from several years ago that stopped home exercising for awhile, and would now like to start up again, and have a thread for accountability and fun! Anyone with me!?

Morning! Janis, thanks for the explanation yesterday. It appears that our name is not attracting a broad audience :). Possibly everyone thinks we are Star Trek nerds or something (not that there's anything wrong with that). Maybe we should go for something more conventional? I ordered the...

Hi Everyone, Janis in particular :) I don't actually have a rowing machine, I have just been getting up at 5:30 and coming to the gym at work. It's worked out beautifully when I can haul my bahookie out of bed because I avoid traffic, and save myself about 30 minutes and half a tank of...

Hello! Just wanted to start a thread for people starting STS and trying to lose fat with whatever method works! Of course, everyone is welcome. I am meant to do disc 3 (legs) tonight, so steeling myself for not being able to walk tomorrow. I did 45 minutes of cardio this morning, 15 on...

Hello Everyone, I am a lurker who decided to surface tonight! I work in an Endocrinology Clinic, and our department decided to have a 12 week body fat loss contest with everyone in the clinic having their body fat measured on the bone density machine. I am going to start STS (weight lifting)...

Hi Debbie, I am a lurker on these posts, and if I may be so bold, would really appreciate your opinion. I did your January rotation and absolutely loved it:D. I just purchased STS and am really excited to do it, but I would like to lose 25 lbs too. Would you suggest any modifications to STS...

Hello All, I've been struggling with my nasty cold, which seems to have come back again just when I thought it was getting better. I am resisting the antibiotics though. I've been running in the morning, 2-3 miles steady state vs. intervals, and my eating has been good, although it's probably...

Does anyone have an opinion on supersets/pushpull? It's one of the few Cathe DVDs I don't own, and I noticed it's in a couple of rotations I'm thinking about doing- is it worth buying? I already have gymstyles and slow/heavy... Thanks for any comments, Lisa

Hello everyone, Thought I would start us out, if I may be so bold :D Did Step Fit, the first 45 minutes, and segment 1 of core max. Eggbeater, spinach, and tomato omelette, and toast with butter (measured out a teaspoon;)). Broke down and had a piece of cinnamon twist, my kids' Sunday...

Hello All! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I did Drill Max for the first time yesterday, and made it through challenge number 5, except I wasn't able to do the crazy "core" pushups where she is like spiderwoman crawling on the floor. It was a lot of fun! My knees are twinging today...

Hello Debbie, Thanks for what you do on this forum. I am looking for a new rotation, and in reading some of your rotations, wondered if you wouldn't mind answering a couple of questions (specifically about strength 4 week rotation from 9/05)? I noticed that you use Pure Strength series a...

To Whom It May Concern :) I just started doing step workouts in the past two months regularly, and really love them, although, I can feel twinges in my knees at times. Is there anything that anyone can suggest that might prevent knee injury besides not doing the workouts ;)? Thanks for...

Hello Everyone, Hope all is well. I'm going on a long walk today because I got off of work early. My husband gave me a picture of a sunset with pink clouds, and wrote this on it: The clouds above us join and separate. The breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns. Life is like that so...

Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is well. The hurricane did not reach us, but I am thinking of those that it did, and hoping for their safety. I had a "zag" day today, and ate wheat protein pancakes with lots of butter and sugar free syrup for breakfast today. Calipers haven't come yet...

Hello Everyone! How was everyone's day? Still seeing butterflies, literally. I woke up and tried to do a new step video, Kari Anderson, and it was godawful. The moves were simple basic step oriented and then she would randomly put in a double spin across the step, which did not add...

Hello Everyone, Hope all is well. I thought there was something very eerie going on today because I saw masses of butterflies, I mean thousands, flying all over, and it turns out that the monarch butterflies are going south to Mexico. It was like something out of Dr. Seuss's "The Lorax"...

Hello Everyone, How is everyone doing? Julie - I have not measured my body fat yet- I ordered some calipers, and today, I found out that we have a tannita scale at work, so I'll have to figure out a way to surreptitiously use it so I can compare it with my home measurements. This AM, I...

Good Morning Everyone! I hope everyone slept well- I know I did, there's nothing like a Sunday morning sleep-in (til 6:30 ;)). Hi Rapidbreath, nice to hear from you again, I too have more trouble with the food rather than the workouts (anymore anyway.) As far as food goes I do the...

Anyone insterested in doing this with us, come post on "Cathletic Supporters"! We'll share recipes, We'll laugh We'll cry And we'll lose fat! Cheers, Lisa
