Cathe has too many workouts!!!

[dutchgirl]

And I don't even have them all! I think my thoughts can best be shared by telling my story.

I have been doing the rotations for the past couple of months because, if left to my own devices, I would do the workouts I love and know I can do well at instead of creating variety out of the all the videos I have. So I started in late July with that rotation and really liked the combination of endurance workouts and cardio. Next was August which focused more on muscle gain and strength. That was quite an adjustment for me to try to lift really heavy for me and at such slow pacing. But I made it and I was thinking I was a stud muffin, the bomb, one bad mama jama, the cat's meow. I was really proud of myself. So September comes around I'm thinking to myself how I'm going to kick butt. Well, butt was being kicked, it was just being done to me instead of me doing the kicking. For example, doing muscle endurance after having done mostly slow and heavy, I DIED!!!! Today, doing Leaner Legs after almost a whole month of not having done it, I DIED!!!!! Cathe just has too much selection . By having such an amount of variety I am able to be continually humbled which, on the one hand, feels good because I do feel like I get result from my workouts, and on the other hand bites, because I only get to be puffed up and egostistical for the length of a particular rotation. Once something new comes along, humility is sure to follow.

So, I guess I have a very strong love/hate relationship with Cathe.

But that's the beauty of Cathe!

She HAS to be the one sure bargain you'll ever get in life! Because of all her glorious workouts to choose from, by the time you work yourself back around to one that was shelved for 2 or more months, its hard all over again! I'll shout it from the rood tops, "Cathe's workouts are the best spent money in the world!" You can never feel "cheated" out of your money!

Sabine!

ROFL, girl! You and I are definitely on the same wavelength here. This September rotation has been an ego-busting experience for sure! http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/crying.gif

It seems to me that with every series, Cathe's workouts get tougher and yet more creative -- as she gets older she's pushing herself harder and pushing us, too, if we'll let ourselves be pushed! Like you, if left to my own devices I'd keep doing the same half dozen favorites and feel pretty smug about how "fit" I was -- but oh noooooo! Leave it to Miss Cathe to yank that misconception right out from under me!!

I say, keep 'em coming Cathe -- we'll try to keep up!!!http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung0903/sport/sport-smiley-001.gif

I agree with Donna on money well spent! That's why I never hesitate to purchase whatever she's making. I'm right there on every pre-order because I know whatever is coming is going to be good! I have been doing Cathe for over 10 years and she just keeps getting better and better! I have yet to be disappointed.

i just started following different rotations when I broke down and ordered all of Cathe's DVDs in July. I probably thought about it for three months before hand. Before that I had only the intensity series,pure strength series,mis and body max.When I got all the others I was so excited and overwhelmed I didn't know where to start so the rotations have helped tremendously. I still haven't gotten to all the workouts. I find the rotations make every workout exciting because you're never doing the same thing!!! I have to agree-Cathe's workouts are definitely the best spent money in the world!!:+ :+

Sabine,
I love your sense of humor here You are right lots of variety Cathe is the best and the worst i guess we could say Lisa

Sabine, what a great thread!
And you girls have summed it up as to why I personally, don't do any other workouts but Cathe. I did a few of my other videos here while back, and I thought 'Good grief' I can't even get my heartrate up with these workouts.' I must be in much better shape now then when I first bought those videos.

Like you, when working on a certain rotation, I shelve some of my other Cathe's. I left Step Jam on the shelf for about 10 months as it was "too easy" the last time I did it.
Last week I pulled it out thinking I would do something "light" Ha! what a surprise! LOL
I love Cathe to pieces. She has got me into the best shape I have ever been in my life. Like you girls, I never hestitate to pre-order anything she does as I know I want be disappointed. Her new workouts keep getting better and better and harder, and her old ones still work. This new core work though, I can't sing the praises enough for them. They really do help get the abs...and... the back in shape.
Cathe is the best investment in workouts that I know of.

Like you, I've noticed that Cathe keeps looking better. I also wonder, 'how did she do that?' Theory: Keep following her workouts and we will look better too. You suppose? :9

Hey Donna, GF... great to see your post. Total Blast rotations can't be too far off. Are you getting ready for a challenge? }(

I'm soooo glad to hear someone else say this! I thought I was the only one! I hear other people on here talking about doing the different rotations (with no modifications), and I guess I thought they just went effortlessly from one to the other--leaving me behind with my tail between my legs and my butt thoroughly kicked each and every time.

I wonder if Cathe moves from one type of workout to another like that, or if she sort of has to prepare herself for the different video shoots. I wonder if her own videos would kick her butt when she's been doing something else for a while.

Do you suppose she had to work herself up to those planks on the ball, or was she able to do it the very first time? And how does someone like Cathe figure out exercises that will be challenging, even to her? Does she just sit around the gym on her Exer-ball thinking to herself, "What is the most evil, difficult, twisted-up position I can think of? (Insert Bwah ha ha ha here) What is the most weight anyone could possibly lift? Okay, I think I'll double that, add some low-ends and a few plyo moves, and throw a couple of those in for my next video!"

I guess I think of Cathe as Wonder Woman or something--never sore, never weak, never sick, never tired. Any way you look at it, she's incredible. Cathe's the BEST!
