Thank you all so much for all your great advice! I knew I could get the encouragement I needed here! Thank you Cathletes! I am trying to stay positive and I will incorporate your great ideas. I have been taking some melatonin at night which seems to help me sleep, but I don't feel so...

I just feel like I am a mess right now! I have been doing Cathe workouts for about 17 years now and I am really slowing down. I am 56. I had an eating disorder (anorexia) in my 40's in which I restricted calories and exercised a lot, getting down to a low of 98 lbs on my 5"6 frame before I...

Thank you! I appreciate our insights. I will just keep on working out! :) Maybe doing some more low impact stuff, since I don't really enjoy gasping for breath and if my heart rate is still getting into the zone without gasping for breath.... why not take it a little easier on myself. ;)

I broke my wrist in January and so I was off Cathe for a awhile and then when I started working out again I did some Youtube workouts - pretty much low impact and I wasn't breathing nearly as hard as when I do some of Cathe's workouts. And yet, my heart rate is higher with the lower impact...

Thank you Elsie! I will try out the chair exercises!

Hello everyone, Last Monday, I hurt my toe really badly. My 16-year old son and I were messing around, he picked me up and dropped me. I don't know if he stepped on my toe, or if I jammed it into the bookcase.... Whatever... it hurts really bad whenever I put weight on it. (It's the middle...

I have started a job with a crazy schedule over the past few months. After having worked out 5-7 days a week for the past 23 years, my workouts have suffered terribly. Really hit or miss to the point that I'm having trouble getting up the gumption to work out hard on my days off. On the days...

Thank you so much Clare! Those are great ideas for me. I just may make it through the holidays without getting out of shape! Thanks!

Hello, I have a seasonal job which starts at 5:00 AM - I have to leave my house at 4:00 AM! I can't work out in the morning like I'm used to. I get home at about 3:00, but then the kids and DH get home, there's dinner, homework, sometimes sports to take kids to.... and I'm tired! I usually...

Thanks Thank you Kim! I do have X-train and both Muscle max and Maximun Intensity Strength! I will try it.

Suggestions for gym style substitute Hello all, Any suggestions for substitution for gym styles. I don't have them. ( wanted to buy them during the great December sales, but.... resisted the temptation). Don't have PS Strength or Slow and heavy, or the complete STS either. What to do...

Hello all! I have pretty intense pain in the ball of my right foot. I just couldn't run this morning. DH said it is probably an overuse injury. I had the pain before we went on vacation for ten days. I didn't work out - just some hiking in Colorado - not long, hard hikes or anything. The...

hello, I really like your Turkey mish mosh from a couple of years ago. I do it every now and then when I want to shake things up a bit. Do you have other similar mish moshes? Is there a list somewhere? Thanks, Jane

Sorry! I apologize fitness freak! I still love your rotations! I feel pretty foolish! Jane

Hello, I love your rotations and suggestions!! I recently did your Turkey mish mosh and I have always liked it. Do you have any other mish moshes kind of like that? It's one of my "go-tos" when I really want to work. Also, going through all the different DVDs keeps the time flowing fast...

Is there a list somewhere on the site that tells what all the premixes are and what they consist of? There were nice listes for some of the other sets. Can someone guide me to it? My DVD player has trouble with premixes so it helps me to know what is supposed to come next in a premix...

Hello everyone! Could someone give me a link to a breakdown of the premixes on the Body Blast Series and Intensity Series DVD's? I know I have seen it somewhere before, but I can't seem to find it. It really helps me to know what is coming when I do one of the premixes because I have a goofy...

Thank you Susan. It was a very good article and pretty much what I was thinking. I guess I misspoke when I asked about "weight training" when what I really meant was, indeed, strength training. I don't think I will ask them to try to lift more than 3-5lb dumb bells. I think we will probably...

Hello Cathe, First of all I have to tell you again how much your workouts have changed my life and how grateful I am to be able to do your workouts! I feel like I am healthier at 42 than I have ever been before! You are the best! Now, my question - what do you think about an eight year...

Yeh!!! I can't wait!!! Yeh!! Yippee!!
