Does anyone else talk to Cathe?

[dss62467]

I always have to laugh at myself because I find myself answering Cathe's questions, like "how 'bout you at home? Are you still with us?" and I'll grunt, "yeah". I call her evil, or say "bring it on", or whatever. I think my husband thinks I'm either nuts or a total geek.

I don't usually say much but my 19 month old son who frequently is my "workout partner" (he likes to pick up the lighter weights and dance on the step!) will answer Cathe!!!!

Oh ya....... I am really talking to her on those low end sit and stands}(

 

[Tamster]

oh yeah, I talk to her all the time...The weird thing is that she always asks a question, or makes a comment just at the time I am ready to make a comment...it is almost surreal!

Same here...it's almost like we're having a personal conversation. Interesting...in S&H C&B every single time I start thinking I need a sip of water, Cathe asks me if I have my water handy! DH already knows I'm crazy, but I hear him laughing sometimes when I make a comment to or answer Cathe.

I talk to Cathe all of the time. My 10 year old gets the giggles pretty good when I say things along with Cathe. I will never for the life of me figure out how Cathe can talk through squat thrust terminators or her pushup sequences! Astounding!!!

I am stoically quiet. I never talk to her. Sometimes a sound of agony escapes my lips, but I hope she doesn't hear me. (Leaner Legs comes to mind)

I talk to her all the time too. However, I'm usually saying something like "another set, what are you, crazy?!" My husband is used to me talking to things that can't talk back, so it doesn't even phase him. (For example, I talk to my cats all the time, and when I'm out gardening, I talk to my plants as well).

It is weird that Cathe tends to say certain things just when you are needing the reminder or the extra encouragement.

Thank goodnes my 3-yr old isn't in the room when I am doing the glute sweeps at the end of L&G. He might learn some new words when I inform Cathe of just how evil she is!!!!!!

All the time. Especially when doing leg presses and hover squats, I'll say something like, "you have got to be outta your mind if I'm doing another set". When I first tried Kickbox, my 18 yr. daughter joined me and we both thought Cathe had issues that she needed to get off her chest. But nonetheless, I love it.

LOL!! Funny, Haydee. I wonder what issues Cathe has?

I talk back to the tv all the time, even when Cathe is not on it. For example, I tell loud, braying commercials to "shut up", and then hit the mute button. I feel empowered.

But yes, I certainly talk to Cathe. I'm flattered that anyone cares how I'm doing during my workout, whether I've had my water break, or whether I've left to go make popcorn. And it's lovely that she doesn't take offense when I yell things like "Cathe's trying to KILL me!!"

I, too, wonder how she can talk so much during some of her sessions. Just this morning I was doing BootCamp core premix, and cannot believe how freaking chatty she is during the second segment - those 32 explosive sit-up thingies with the medicine ball. This must be something they teach you at aerobic instructer school, because it seems impossible.

Cheers!

I don't always talk to Cathe, but I DO tell myself out loud, "I can do eight more...I can do four more...I can do one more..."

LOL Sandra! I know what you mean about the commercials. We have this car dealership up here with this great big, obnoxious guy who thinks he's so cool. He's very brash and always yells "it's HUUUUUUGE!" at the end of the ad. My 4 year daughter always yells, "AHHH! It's the huge guys!" and we run around the living room trying to find the remote control so we can mute him. If we can't find it, we cover our ears and yell, "lalalalalalalalala!" until the commercial is over.

I would never buy from this dealership just because the ads are so obnoxious.

LMAO!! That is a hoot, Donna!

[catwoman]

I talk to her, too. "Are you still with us?" and I'll say "Yep!" although sometimes it comes out sounding like "yeuuhp."

I get pretty vocal at those times in a workout where I'm about ready to fall over dead. I do the "Wooooo!" and the "Oh, sure I can do eight more - no problem!!" (note sarcasm), and the "I need water!"

 

[endorphin_junkie]

Too Funny Donna!! I'm in Southeastern Ontario and hear those "HUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGAhhhhhhh!! commercials too, goes right up the back of my neck!!!!x( I'll try your 'hands over the ears,l la la la' strategy next time although if it happens in the car I'll be a curious sight!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that cusses at the video.

Cathe's chat isn't as bad as some others. My wife would work to Richard Simmons, if you want to see something funny rent Eddie Murphy's "The Nutty Professor" and see the mock up he does on Simmons, the character Lance is actually Eddie made up as Richard Simmons.

[fit_fairy]

Yep, I talk to her. Usually sarcasm though. Like you want me to do what. Or when she says that's all the rest you get-I hit pause and say that's what you think heehee!!

I talk to her all the time. When she says "we're going to do (whatever exercise)"I always so "No, you're going to do it". Sometimes when it's really tough, I call her Cathe-cakes becssue it's better than cussin' :+

 

[wendybdh]

I don't talk back to Cathe out loud. Instead, I mumble or just think of what I would say if I wasn't so darn breathless(and that's probably a good thing);-) }(!
