Calling All Long Time Catheites!!! Let's help newbies w/ Cathe selections!

[dutchgirl]

Hi everyone,

Many people new to Cathe and her videos often ask why there hasn't been a ranking of Cathe's videos to help them decide. Let's end that right now!!!!

The Plan
I will categorize and list all the Cathe workouts that fall in that category. Then it's up to the long time Catheites to rank the videos in each category, with the 1 being the easiest in the group with the last being the hardest/nost intense/most challenging in the group. I will use these rankings as points and track each titles average score. After about 2 weeks (give or take the level the interest in this process) I will post a final list and ask SNM if they can sticky it so that it stays at the top of the page (probably in the Videos/DVD section). What do you think?

I will start by listing the workouts in each category alphabetically.

1. Maximum Intensity Strength
2. Muscle Endurance
3. Power Hour
4. Push Pull
5. Supersets

This sounds like a nice idea. I'll get started on it. I noticed Legs & Glutes is not listed. That's my favorite lower body workout.

 

[dutchgirl]

Legs and Glutes has now been added. Please let me know if I've missed any other titles (except OOP titles).

 

[shopgirl]

wow - awesome idea. How do you want us to send the info to you? Should we post it in this forum or e-mail it to you?

Thanks. This will be helpful to not only newbies.

I look forward to the results
