Cathe in the Wall Street Journal!

I was thrilled to see that Cathe is featured in a Wall Street Journal article about FitTV!! I picked up the their "Personal Journal" section and there was Cathe's picture (although small) on the cover, from the Body Blast series. It's a very amusing article about the somewhat feel-good nature of FitTV, and although they don't mention Cathe until near the end, she comes off really well, especially compared to the other featured instructors like Gilad, etc. Here's what it says:

"The most challenging of all the segments is "Cardio Blast" (9 a.m.), whose Cathe Friedrich, a petite-yet-thewy weightlifter, is forever exclaiming "It's getting warm in here!" She's a veritable Gidget-with-abs, wielding dumbbells, aerobic steps and other accessories with a glee that verges on the sadistic. Hers is the one show that's designed to be difficult, so serious exercisers who scoff at Gilad's chivalrous arm-extensions might turn to Cathe instead for some real pain and punishment."

Congratulations Cathe!! (and I learned a new word: thewy!)
 
Congrats Cathe!!!

Just one thing about the article: I hear you saying "It's getting toasty" not it's getting warm in here. :p
 
Yeeeah Cathe! Looks like our secret to fitness success is out! YOU GO!!!

Hi Atgood and everyone! Thank you for letting me know about this. They had called a while back but I had no indication of what was going to come of the phone call (or when).

Hmmmm, Gidget-with-abs....that's a new one;-)
It is fun reading how various reporters interpret my workouts.

Thanks again for posting this and thank YOU everyone for your kind words!!!!!!! You are always so wonderfully supportive.
 
GIDGET???!!! Yikes!

Nevertheless, congrats Cathe...more & more people are finding out who can teach them how to be REALLY fit!

(Or, as my DH says...did Cathe try to kill you today dear?) LOL
(I know he's just jealous.):p
 
Cathe & all, definition of "thewy"

What a hoot -- none other than the esteemed WSJ has astutely noticed that our Cathe flings around fitness equipment with near-sadistic glee. ;-)

It's not often I see a word that I have never laid eyes on before, but "thewy" was one of them, so I looked it up, and lo and behold, here's what it means -- and it sure fits!

[font color=red] From Webster's Online Dictionary -- Thewy: Having strong or large thews or muscles; muscular; sinewy; strong.[/font color]

And I LOVE describing you as Gidget-with-abs, Cathe. Perky little thing, aren't ya?? :) ;-)
