Happy New Year my friends !!! Let's make it a great year...... but always remember..... Progress, not Perfection !!! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Our story: Our group mantra is "Progress, not Perfection" We strive to eat healthy foods...

Cathe - I've been reading The Paleo Solution, The Primal Blueprint and Wheat Belly.... all of which are variations on the general paleo style of eating plan. You had said in a previous thread that you were going to give Paleo a try, but that you had tweaked it a bit. I'd love to know what...

I just discovered something wonderful :D At age 66, I have trouble keeping up with the pace of some Cathe DVDs... while commenting about that in another thread, I wondered if I could slow the playback speed on my DVD player ... and... I can !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo...

Having just graduated from the Beginner Rotation and now starting to use the other Cathe DVDs that I've accumulated over the last 4 months.. and that's quite a few... lol I'm trying to decide how I'll know which weights to use on the barbell and which weight dumbbells to use for each DVD that I...

Our group mantra is "Progress, not Perfection" We strive to eat healthy foods (non-processed as much as possible), do our workouts on a regular basis and drink 64 oz of water daily. However, we know that we won't do it perfectly every day. Life gets in the way - work, school, family...

I love Cathe's workouts, but I'm 66 years old and I can't move as fast as I could 20 or 30 years ago. I would love to have 2 or 3 Intermediate level DVDs that do the same things as on the other DVDs but at a much slower pace. 1 - Total body 1 - Cardio and weights 1 - incorporating the...

In mid-August 2011, msdeedee3 and I started the Official Cathe Beginner Rotation. Along the way, Faithnveggies and Stacy adopted us --- much to our delight. We have now reached the point in our journey where it's time to graduate and for that we need a clean slate. It's a new beginning...

After I finish the Beginner Rotation, which DVD(s) would be good to start with for building strength (at age 66) and learning good form? With the little bit of weight work that I have done over the years, I am a stickler for good form. Here's what I'll have.. Muscle Max High Reps Body Max 2...

I'm 66 years old and just starting weight training. I've done cardio and stretching all my life and am healthy except for the extra pounds I'm carrying around. I'm currently doing the Beginner Rotation using Basic Step/Body Fusion, Low Impact Step/Total Body Sculpting and Stretch Max. I have...

I thought that in the last newsletter I saw that the Slow & Heavy Series DVDs were on sale - 15 or 20% off. Unfortunately, after reading last week's newsletter, I deleted it. Looking at the home page of cathe.com, it says that STS is on sale in September. Did I miss the Slow & Heavy...

I'm still doing the Beginner Rotation, but looking ahead..... I've watched Muscle Max a couple of times and really look forward to doing it. It looks like just what I wanted in a weight training DVD. The whole DVD is 72 minutes. The Timesaver Premix is about 56 minutes. I can't find...

I've drastically cut down on sodium intake and saturated fats.. I'm on a 1600 calorie per day eating plan and based on my research..... I've found that one should stay below 30% total fat and 7% saturated fat. I used 27% for total fat and that works out to 48 grams of total fat per day...

I can't do pushups :confused: Faithnveggies suggested.. in another thread... to do them against a wall first. I'm doing that and it's helping !!! But.... I've noticed in watching some of Cathe's DVDs and seeing people doing pushups at the gym.... that there seem to be 2 kinds of pushups...

I am doing the Beginner Rotation now and in the first 3 weeks we use the tubing with handles, but then we move on to dumbbells. Looking ahead... I have a question about weights and which ones to use. I know that in the Beginner Rotation the number of sets/reps is low and I think I'll be able...

I'm going to start the Beginner Rotation tomorrow morning... as well as counting calories and sticking to 1600 per day. :rolleyes: I need accountability, so I figure if I post my progress here that maybe I'll stick to it this time. Anyone care to join me in this adventure? :D Here's the link...

Good morning all!! What is a good balance (weekly) between cardio and weights? I'm 66 years young, healthy, in relatively good shape, slightly overweight, do 3 - 4 miles per day on the treadmill (fast walking.. no running) at the gym 5 - 6 days per week. I have done step in the past and want...

Hi Cathe and all... I'm new to Cathe workouts and eager to get started. I've pre-ordered the new Low Impact Series, but I am totally lost as to how I'll figure out what workouts to do when, how often, etc. etc. etc. I have been doing the Low Impact Step and Total Body Sculpting DVD for a...

I've been going back thru and reading your blog entries. Very good information. Thank you from this new-to-Cathe 66-year-young enthusiast. I have always believed in lean protein at every meal and have always enjoyed eggs as part of that eating plan. I realize that the "scare" from the...

Can anyone point me to a list of what equipment will be used/needed for this new series? All I have at the moment is a step and 2 pairs of light hand weights. The new series looks interesting... but I'm wondering how much equipment I would have to buy to use them.. Thanks in advance...
