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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

Dear Cathe, You have been and inspiration and a life-saver for me for the past several years! Your workouts have been a bright spot I can always depend on each morning to get me started on my day! Often a challenge, but ALWAYS fun! (Plus - I lost about 25 pounds two years ago and you...

We are going to Walt Disney World the week after Christmas. Does anyone have any advice for us? I feel overwhelmed with Christmas and then this trip right after... We are staying at a Disney resort. I have three boys ages 9, 7 and 4. There seems to be so much to see and do. What should we...

I feel kind of stupid asking this, but what do I do when I'm doing a premix and the card in between stays on for a long time and then skips to the next section. I have been using the button on my remote to go back a chapter, but there is probably a better way. I love doing the premixes on the...

Good Morning, I would like to do a good SJP Step Blast premix tomorrow. There are a couple of premixes with step and hi lo and weights and I would like to do one of them. I know I've seen a breakdown of what each premix consists of, but I can't remember where to find the breakdowns. Can...

Hi! I have IMAX 2 and Cardio and Weights on VHS and I really love them. I also have the rest of the Intensity Series on DVD. What would be a better investment - Terminator or the IMAX2/Cardio and Weights DVD? Thanks, Jane

Hello, I usually get up at 3:30 (with DH) and workout until about 5:50 when it's time to get my boys ready for school. I go to bed at about 9:30 usually so I get 6 hours of sleep every night pretty consistently. I am a stay at home mom with a sweet 3 year old little boy and two older boys (7...

Does one walking lunge consist of going forward on the right leg and then the left, or does each lunge forward count as one walking lunge? Thanks, Jane

Hi! I'm doing Cathe's January rotation and I have most of the workouts in the rotation, except the Hardcore Extremes. What would be some good substitutions for those days? I have all of the Intensity Series, CTX and Body Blast and lots of Cardio workouts. Thanks!!

HI! I just got Billy's Bootcamp and I think I like it! I have a couple of older Tae Bo tapes too and I was just wondering how you guys work them into a rotation. Do you concentrate on Tae Bo for a couple of weeks or a month, or do you just add them in here and there as an alternate from of...
