    A Very Sad Day!

    Cathe, I'm very sorry about your loss. My thoughts are with you. Tracy

    the reebok step versus the step

    I've always stepped on the Reebok Step. It works fine w/ Cathe's videos. If I could get a good deal on the Original Step, however, I would replace my Reebok Step in a heartbeat. I sometimes feel I need the additional space that I've heard the Original Step provides. I also would like the...

    Are there pre-mixes on HSTA?

    I just purchased a 5-disc player, and, yes, you can program it to play different titles and chapters from different DVDs. It takes a little longer for my player to switch DVDs than it does to skip chapters and titles on the same DVD. Still, at most, it takes about 10 seconds to skip DVDs, and...

    Which Hardcore DVDs Will YOU Buy?

    I, too, learned the hard way about purchasing the package deal up front. I have talked myself out of buying the whole kit and caboodle a couple of times, only to end up buying each piece separately at a higher price. I just haven't been disappointed in any of Cathe's products, and I always...

    Music on CTX was the Best !

    Another vote for BB & the Intensity Series. I really liked the recognizable songs. Another favorite is the techno version of "Eye of the Tiger" from the punching drill section of Cardio Kicks. Whatever Cathe chooses, I'm sure it'll be awesome. I've yet to find an instructor w/ workouts that...

    cathe- premixes

    I agree with what a lot of folks have said on this subject: if either the premixes or workout blender have to go, let it be the blender. I love the premixes and, though I really like the blender too, I just purchased a 5-disc programmable player and can now blend for myself. I also think fewer...

    We're Filming Again!

    This has made my week. I'm really looking forward to pre-ordering these. I've been contemplating buying some sort of stretch DVD for some time, but I've been afraid to take a chance on another instructor. I know you will deliver! This is a very well rounded set. I'm very impressed w/ how...

    Two left feet

    Hello! I'm obviously not Cathe, but I've been doing her workouts for a number of months now. So, I'll give you my two cents. If nothing else, this reply should bump your question up for Cathe. I think Cathe's workouts are definitely designed to be "mirrored." That is, you'll use your left...

    cathe posters

    I think the picture on the back of the catalog (w/ Cathe doing a bicep curl) would make an awesome poster. I would buy it in a heartbeat!

    Prone jack-knife on stability ball.....uhhhhhhhhh

    I couldn't even do ONE of these until I read some threads and learned the trick to them. Someone here has already mentioned what that trick is: concentrate on lifting your butt, not moving the ball toward you. There were other helpful suggestions in the threads. I found them by running a...

    Fit TV and DVD's

    I've recorded and done the FitTV workouts (for previewing purposes) and now own almost all of Cathe's DVDs, and I can tell you from first-hand experience that there are a number of differences between the DVDs and the FitTV workouts. First, the FitTV versions are not complete. For example...

    Arizona

    Welcome in advance to the Grand Canyon State. I'm a native Arizonan and currently live in a growing rural community just SW of Phoenix. Scottsdale is a very nice city, and I'm sure you will be happy there. By moving here at this time of year, you're going to get to experience the Arizona...

    5-Disc Player Worth It?

    Thanks for all of the responses. You've sold me (as soon as I recover from my last fitness splurges). For those of you who are happy w/ your players, would you care to tell me the specific model you own?

    44" Step used in DVDs

    RE: 44 I also saw the aqua marine and fuscia ones at www.megafitness.com for $85 w/ shipping. I've never ordered from there, so I can't comment on the quality of their service. You can usually find a few (again, usually the aqua marine and fuscia ones) on ebay as well. Tracy

    5-Disc Player Worth It?

    For those of you w/ 5-disc players, do you think they're worth the expense? My collection of Cathe DVDs is almost complete (I have all but of the older DVDs and her comp DVDs). Last night, as I was trying to create a mish mosh, short cardio segment, I wondered if the changing from disc to...

    Your Fashion Pet Peeves

    This is a fun thread. BTW, I always thought the male version of camel toes was a camel hump. LOL. I share many of your peeves, but I would classify them as sources of amusement, rather than peeves, except when I'M the fashion victim. I guess, in that case, I would have to classify the...

    Law school-thanks for getting me through it!

    Hello all. I thought I would chime in, since I recently finished law school (almost a year ago) and passed the bar exam (approx. 7 mos ago; it takes so long to get those darn results!). I definitely agree that exercising and doing other activities outside of law school and the bar exam help...

    This is really funny! (Name Game)

    Sure, this game is real cute when you are a "Zippy Wafflebiscuit", but it's not quite as fun when you end up being a "Poopsie Gizzardnose." Thanks for the post. I had fun w/ it in spite of ending up w/ a poopsie gizzard combination. Tracy

    Heavy Bag/Weighted Gloves

    I used to work out w/ a heavy bag when I practiced Tang Soo Do (karate w/ a heavier focus on punching than many other styles). I really noticed a difference in my shoulders and triceps. They became slightly larger, harder, and much more defined. I stopped working out on the bag a while back...
