Cathe: No One Else Compares

[Aquajock]

Hi, Miss Cathe! I read with interest the discussion thread about your upcoming Yoga Max workout (which I am looking forward to getting myself), as well as the VideoFitness thread on the same subject, and all I can say is, "PLEASE stick to your guns!"

I've bought a lotta workout vids in my time, and in my estimation no other video fitness presenter compares to you, especially for workouts for the experienced exerciser. I've always respected your commitment to products for the "educated crowd", knowing that can often limit your potential market. Far too few fitness professionals, in the video arena or in the club arena, emphasize challenge and skill.

As far as yoga being cut up into the "spiritual" versus the "athletic", I think that's ridiculous. The word "spiritual" has been badly mis-used, and co-opted by a lot of pseudo-New-Age mystic-flutes types who believe spirituality can only be found in words and music and mental imagery, not physical activity. To me, discovering and honoring my physical capabilities over and over again, often with your products, is the height of spirituality, for those benefits spill out into all other areas of my life.

I have no doubt that "Yoga Max" will be exemplary. Thank you again for being the professional you are.

I cannot wait for Yoga by Cathe. Anything by Cathe simply motivates me to try it. I never liked kickboxing flavored workouts until I tried Cathe's. Wow! I love Cardio Kicks and CTX Kickbox.

I also have always been lukewarm when it comes to yoga. But I just betcha Miss Cathe will have me loving yoga and wanting more!

Betcha Cathe's Yoga video will win many awards!!

Yoga Snobs

What is it about yoga that inspires such arrogance in people? Aside from the "spiritual" aspects (which I get from church, not my workouts, thank you), we're basically talking about isometric holds, balance, flexibility, and breathing. If a video isn't your cup of tea - don't buy it!

My sentiments exactly!

Maybe it is because they use Indian words for the positions. I think if you just use English words, skip the tinkly music and incense, it can become a normal acceptable workout. If the "bliss-ninnies" get their hands on it though, watch out! I'm sure Cathe's yoga tape will be excellent.

I've tried Yoga and I hate it. So, I'm very excited that Cathe is considering doing a Yoga tape. I think that Yoga is probably the perfect compliment to the forms of exercise that I do now. Cathe's tape just opens up the door to Yoga for those of us who may want to do it, but find traditional Yoga "uncomfortable". I know that I'll buy it and like it, cuz I like Cathe's style. I swear if Cathe made a "Pet Cleaning Max" tape, I'd buy it *and* a dog.

Also, I don't visit VF, but I know that sometimes, on these forums, posters become real friends and feel comfortable discussing their opinions with these friends. And they should feel "safe" there. It's just "talk" and I'm sure it was never meant for Cathe's forum or they would have posted their opinion over here.

P.S. Mogambo, ROTF!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jan-10-02 AT 05:41PM (Est)[/font][p]Cathe and fans......I really don't have energy to waste on being upset, so all I got to say is, God has blessed Cathe with a gift that I know (not believe) no one in this world has and she chooses to share that gift with the rest of this world. Now the one's whom do not like it or who are jealous should either leave their comments at the door or simply move on. I will and cannot wait to put in my two cents in that VF forum. Anyone who has time to cut people down and rag on something that they don't have to be bothered with in the first place, has too much time on their hands. And since that is the case, they need to be doing Yoga than sitting there worring about it!
