I never watch GMA - but now I will. How intelligent your doctor is for asking you to join him. Enjoy it.

I am excited for you! What an amazing opportunity. Have fun, and I will be watching. This may sound nutty, but I am looking forward to seeing what you wear. :7 I have never seen you dressed up before. I will be waiting patiently for an update with all the details. I hope America is ready for Cathe! ;-)
Blessings,

Questions for You
Cathe:
I came home for my lunch hour today to watch the video of your appearance on Good Morning America. You are beautiful, gracious, and a real class act with perfect posture! I love your smile, and I am so glad you did not hide your beautiful biceps. ;-) It is my joy to support you and your business.
I have a question for you. Are you part of the stubborn crowd? ;-) If so, has your injury changed the way you plan to train in the future (after fully recovering from your surgery)? I know that you have always been a believer in cross-training, but I am curious after hearing your comment about treating your body with more respect.
Have a blessed day! I look forward to reading your update.
Blessings,
Heather B.

RE: Questions for You
Hi Heather! Its funny, but we did not get to cover even a fraction of what I thought was going to be asked. I was going to talk about the senior fitness class I teach, student accomplishments in the class, 5 tips to help keep your workouts safer and balanced (Dr. Dinubile covered that so it worked out). But I have learned long ago that when it comes to the entertainment industry, you go with the flow. Many times things change on the fly and operate off the cuff. You have to adapt and go with it as if it were part of the plan.
As far as my comment on the stubborn crowd. What I was saying in a very abbreviated manner, ha, was that some babyboomers are usually very set in their exercise habits. They have found something that they liked years ago and are still going about it, 40 years or so later, in the exact same manner as they did when they were much younger, without giving any new thought to their delivery. Side note: I'm not saying they have to stop or cut way back on exericse, they just have to make some new choices that will continue to let them "go the distance".
Other babyboomers are less stubborn, and more willing to accept that modifications of some sort will need to be made since they no longer have the same physical make up to withstand certain types of exercises.
Others, whether babyboomers or not, may have suffered an injury and are now learning their limitations and finding exercises to condition and repair their bodies so that they can get back to doing what they love. Age, genetics, and limitations due to their injury, will more or less dictate what their future activities and level of participation will be.
As far as treating your body with more respect, I have been doing that all along. I remember how painful my rehab from my ACL reconstruction was 12 years ago(skiing accident), and how I couldn't wait to just simply walk normally again. I kept thinking about how we all generally take everyday movement for granted and don't think twice about muscles used to do simple everyday tasks (until that ability is taken away from us). Yes, I have from that day forward always treated my body with even more respect. But despite this, injuries can still happen regardless of how careful we are. And it is this same level of respect for our bodies that helps us through our injuries in a safe and timely manner.
Take Care Heather

Thank You
Cathe:
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I really wish you had been given the opportunity to share more on the show. I heard your comment about treating your body with more respect after an injury and knew that I was not getting the whole story. It is ironic that you were injured during a kickboxing class. That is the kind of workout I add to my weekly rotation to give my body a break from stepping and high impact. Like you said, injuries still happen no matter how careful we are. You are a great role model for recovering from an injury with wisdom and grace.
You have taught me so much about balance and moderation. I am treating my body with more respect because of the safe and sound advice you give here. I really appreciate the time you invest in these forums. Your responses bless me as much as your workouts. I have added stretching and a weekly rest day to my rotation thanks to your encouragement, and my body thanks you. Now if you will just tell me to get my butt in bed before midnight, I just might listen! ;-) I am a morning girl, and I get up at 4:00 a.m. for Bible study and a morning workout. My eating is clean and balanced. My fitness rotation includes cardio, weight training, abs/core, and stretching. This final key to a healthy lifestyle remains a struggle for me.
Have a blessed weekend! I am flying out of here tomorrow to see my precious little niece who is 7 months old, so I need to start packing. :7
Blessings,
Heather B.
