So, I'm trying to keep track of calories in / calories out during this first part of my new lifestyle. I'm having trouble, however, calculating calories in my oatmeal!!! It seems really high, perhaps I'm confused. So, I eat Steel Cut Oatmeal and I make it 1 cup (dry) to 4 1/2 cups water...

So, here I am again, finding myself beginning yet another new fitness / healthy living lifestyle. I jump in all excited, guns ablazin' and BAM, the weekend comes and I throw it all away!!! I'm looking for ideas / suggestions to staying on track during the weekends. I used to work a 2nd job so...

Hi Cathe & Fans, Just wondering if you could give me a rough idea of the amount of calories burned during step aerobics. I know it depends on the level and intensity and which DVD and all of that. It doesn't need to be exact, just rough. I did find something that told me about 7.5 calories...

Hi Cathe / Fans: I've made a fitness room in my basement, which fortunately for me, is out of the way from the regular family living space. Now that I've decided I'm using it on a regular basis, I want to spruce it up and make it better. The first thing I want to do is change the flooring...

Just ordered Muscle Max (featured product this week) I've been focusing really hard on cardio for the last couple months and I'm ready to step it up a notch. I just purchased a second hand barbell and weights (120lbs) for $20 and decided it's time to add some weight lifting into my routine at...

Ok, so I'm looking to try a new DVD to add into my weekly rotation. I just started with KickMax doing the Low Impact Kickbox premix only. I like to try all the premixes before I put it all together. I currently do Low Impact Circuit once a week. What I really need now is a workout that is ALL...

Hi Cathe & friends, I finally did the complete Low Impact Circuit DVD on the weekend after a few weeks of doing the Step Blast Cardio pre-mix to get myself prepared for the step moves. I got through it but had to seriously modify the push ups and ab work. Those are 2 areas I'm incredibly...

Hi Everyone, Wish me luck this Sunday as I'm going the CIBC Run for the Cure in support of Breast Cancer research. It's 5k. I've never done anything like this before. I will only be walking but my goal is to be able to run it next year!!! Funny story though, I've unburied my treadmill and...

Hi everyone, Looking for help from some Cathe fans in New Jersery / Maryland area. My Bf is in Atlantic City and heading to Baltimore area today. I have him on a hunt with my wish list for Cathe DVD's. (We are from Canada so can only order DVD's). So far, he hasn't found any. He'll be making...

I finally had a chance to take Low Impact Circuit out of the wrapper last night. I didn't have a whole lot of time so I just did the Cardio Blast Timesaver premix (48 min). I have to say - what a blast!!!! That is the best, most fun, Cathe step routine I've done yet!!! (Mind you, I'm still...

As most of you know, I'm new to Cathe fitness and taking baby steps. I started July 1st with Basic Step, moved onto Low Impact Step + Total Body Sculpting - both of these workouts I can do easily now. Next one I moved onto was Low Max - last night was the 1st time I got through the entire...

Cathe, come to Canada!!!! I'm sure you have a "gazillion" Canadian fans that would be thrilled. I vote for Toronto!!!! :D

Hi Folks: My much anticipated package arrived in the mail today with 7 new Cathe DVD's!!!!! Keep in mind, I've only been doing Cathe since July 1st. I can do Basic on 8" and Low Impact on 6". I've got the moves for both of these DVD's down pat now. I've done Total Body Scultping as well...

Please bear with me if this sounds "odd" however I am relatively new!! I have Low Impact Step + Total Body Sculpting. I scroll through the menu last night and find "Premixes". 3 in total. Cardio and Weights Circuit, Solid Scultping, Lower Body Cardio Blast. So I start looking to see what they...

Well, I finally did it. I quit my 2nd job!!!! I've been working 2 jobs for almost 3 years now. I got the 2nd job so I could qualify for a mortgage - it was supposed to be a temporary thing (like 6 months) and I've been there for almost 3 years now. I basically work 7 days a week and take one...

Hi Cathe & Cathe fans: Now that I am increasing my Cathe DVD collection, I would like to know for the workouts that include the use of the high step, is it possible to get the same workout by increasing the number of risers on my regular sized step? I've checked a couple of places here in...

Hi Cathe / FitnessFreak / Fans: I posted this in the Rotation thread as well but thought I'd get more "looks" here. Can someone help me set up a rotation? Because I don't have many of Cathe's DVDs yet and I'm just beginning to build up my collection, but I'm sure I / we can come up with...

Hi Cathe / FitnessFreak / Fans: Can someone help me set up a rotation? Because I don't have many of Cathe's DVDs yet and I'm just beginning to build up my collection, but I'm sure I / we can come up with something that can work for me in the meantime. This is what I have available: Equipment...

Hi Cathe: I'm a beginner to your fitness regime! I just received my first Cathe DVD which is Basic Step + Cardio & Weights on one DVD. When I looked at your beginner rotation thread, obviously the DVD that you are talking about are different set ups from the one that I have because my DVD...

Hi Cathe & Cathe fans: I'm new to your site and new (again) to another healthy lifestyle attempt. I've been tweaking my diet and eating very well the last few weeks (just beginning week 3 of Weight Watchers and loving it) and trying to keep my eating as "clean" as possible (Big fan of Tosca...
