    This makes me laugh b/c my husband says the same thing anytime I can talk him into working out with me... "She is CRAZY!"

    sore wrists

    here's another not Cathe... have you checked the position of your wrists to be sure they are not 'flopping' over? You want to make sure they are in a fixed position just like you use for bicep work. In yoga and Pilates we also use mental focus to make sure you take the weight and pressure out of...

    How did you get started?

    Cathe's sister I believe I own this video. The home step workout. It has Cathe (if course :) ), Cedie, and Cathe's sister. I borrowed this video from a fellow instructor 10 years ago and have been buying Cathe's stuff ever since. These are the only videos that I can buy and always feel like I...

    Rest for Sore Muscles

    Had my first massage EVER last week. How do you guys feel about getting "naked" for the rub down? Found myself being worried about whether or not the masseus (sp?) noticed my cellulite in the glutes or what! Sure worked to relieve the tightness I have been feeling in my low backarea though from...

    Stability Ball

    I am 5'5" and my legs are of a proportional length... I am also an instructor who uses the stability ball on a regular basis. When I have a choice I prefer the 65cm ball. The 55 just seems too small without enough support. As with everything in fitness, pay attention to your own body and do...

    Found an old Cathe video

    Cathe Trivia I agree ... it is amazing and very motivational. I have been working out with Cathe that long too. I was just thinking today how odd it is that she wouldn't know me from Adam and yet I have been working out with her for 13 years! I feel as if I know her and the crew. I have an old...

    Contest for Mystry Guest

    SNM.. I have an idea. What about running a contest for guessing who the mystery guest is? Maybe the a prize could be I don't know the Body Blast series free:9 ! My vote is for Cathe's sister who appeared in my very first Cathe ever The Home Step Workout. Which also features Cedie.

    Pilates instead of weight training??

    RE: NO At the risk of sounding argumentative those of you who think pilates is not about strength training have not done enough pilates.Pilates actually uses your own body weight for resistance for some of the strength training, but there are also pilates moves that use weights. Pilates is not...

    Just realized

    Thanks for the input. I think they are all comfortable with the moves that don't involve climbing on the ball it is when they are in plank position. Perhaps setting up the step to stabilize the ball a bit would be the solution here. Where do you get your ideas for work on the ball... other than...

    Just realized

    I added to the post on stability balls and just realized that this did not flag this topic or bump it. My questions were ; as an instructor how do you encourage your clients to use the ball in class? Especially those that are leary of climbing up there. I am afraid that someone will " fall" off...

    The Stability ball...

    Two questions here. As an instructor ; how do you encourage your clients to use the ball... those that are a little leary and have a tendency to fall off of the ball. I am almos afraid to incorporate it into my class. I am worried about people falling off and hurting themselves. Second question...

    Cathe, are you a certified Pilates Instructor?

    is Mat Science similar to Pilates Mat Work? I notice a lot of Pilates-type (for lack of a better term) moves in your core work on the Intensity Series. ABSOLUTELY LOVE the new series. Worth all the scrimping and saving and sweating I did to get it! I am thouroughly enjoying having my b*** kicked...
