Let's all give a little gift to Cathe, and share with her 5 of the reasons we appreciate her! I know there are more, but if we don't put some sort of limit on it, she may never be able to read them all!:)

The 5 that come to mind right now (as I just finished my workout):

1. I never have to worry about balancing each side. If we do 400 on the right, by golly, we're gonna do 400 on the left. }(

2. Impeccably challenging workouts, and with all the mix, match, premix, chaptering, etc - it makes an endless combination of truly stellar exercise routines that it's virtually impossible to be bored!

3. She's always smiling, and making fun comments during the workouts.:7

4. She sets the bar high (physically and mentally), so we have room to grow.

5. Her timing is amazing... even though it's a DVD, she manages to encourage me just at the moment I'm getting tired, or losing form.

Thanks, Cathe! Happy Holidays!
 
Good idea Breckgirl!

5. For the awesome variety and challenge of her workouts.
4. For her sparkling personality that makes it feel as if I'm working out with a friend.
3. For helping me, at 40, achieve the fittest physique of my life and being the perfect example of what 40 can look like when you work at it.
2. For personally answering fitness questions and giving us great tips and information on everything in the workouts, including the equipment and clothes.
And the #1 reason is that because of her workouts keeping me in great shape I bounced right back from a total hysterectomy surgery,and was working out at full strength as soon as my doctor gave the go ahead and was even doing reverse crunches with a medicine ball 6 wks later.

Oh, and I have to add another reason - she loves dogs! :)

Happy Holidays Cathe, to you and your family and all the terrific staff at SNM!

1)You are absolutely "THE BEST" instructor I have ever worked out with. Very informative. Your explanation (IMHO) in helping me/us to perform the exercise correctly to achieve results, is on point.

3)You're an inspiration to women/men all over the world.

4)You have a great personality which is key to being in your field.

5)Although I have worked out for a no. of yrs. prior to me catching you on FitTv by accident, I have NEVER been so moved to work out as much as I do, and CONSISTENTLY!!!!! I just adore you.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS and may God continue to bless you and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

5 reasons why I appreciate Cathe:D

#1 I can go straight home after work and see my kids, and then hit the basement for an AWESOME workout that is in my opinion better than anything the local health facility has to offer.

#3 This is the ONLY forum that I go to on any consistent basis - Thank you so much for allowing us this wonderful place!!!

#5 You actually put a fun factor into working out. Your technique and form are awesome as well as your sense of humor. THANKS for sticking with the advanced exerciser - Thank You - Thank You - Thank You !
