Dear Cathe and SNM staff,

I just want to tell you how much I LOVE my new resistance bands, resistance tubing, and stability ball. The whole shopping experience was wonderful, starting with a few questions I had which were answered within minutes, to the lightning fast shipping. My old bands, tubes, and ball were shot and I held off on replacing them until your FBC line became available, and I'm glad I waited!

The resistance bands have a nice heft -- thicker than the other brand I had and more durable, and they feel like they offer a greater degree of resistance.

The resistance tubing is worth getting for the WONDERFUL padded handles!! They are so much more comfortable to use than my old tubing!!!

I haven't inflated the ball yet, but based on the tubing and bands, I'm sure I'll love it.

Somehow I just knew that Cathe wouldn't attach her name to anything that wasn't perfect! ;)

Catherine, which ball did you get? I have the green one and I can't wait to see what the color will look like once the ball is inflated.

I'll inflate it here shortly. :p :rolleyes:
 
I wanted the red one, but it's too small for me :( . I have to say, the green one looks pretty though and I'm sure I'll love it. :D
 
The quality is great. Abdominal work is so much easier (now I didn't say easy :p ) I can do pikes with better form too!!!

Speaking of cost, the prices are more than reasonable, especially in view of the high quality of the merchandise. I mean, the ball was only $23!! The Fitballs cost 30 bucks! :eek:

The FBC tubing cost a couple dollars more but it's MUCH NICER with the padded handle!!! ;)

Hi! Can you describe the ball? Is it smooth or is more "soft textured" like the stability ball that came with Chalene's Turbo Jam ball workouts (if you are familiar with that one)? I have the stability ball that came with Cathe's small home step kit and LOVE it! It's smooth but more solid than the soft textured balls. I'd love a pink Cathe ball so if it's like the one that came in her kit, I'm probably going to get it!!

Thanks for your help!

I guess I'd kinda call it soft textured, but solid. I only have a cheapo from Walmart to compare. This one feels more stable and is more the right size for me than my previous.
 
Stability Ball size

Just wondering what size stability ball I need? I am 5'4" so I'm kind of in between. I have a really old stability ball that seems too small. If I sit on it my knees are at 90 degrees. I think that is what you are supposed to have when in a sitting position. I can't figure out what size it is my old stability ball is.
TIA
 
Here are the answers to the questions I asked about the Core Balance Board:

1. no it is not inflatable.

2. there is a height adjustment that increases the difficulty.

3. I know you can stand and sit on it. It is plastic so you might want to put some soft cushioning on it before you kneel on it.

4. Cathe does plan to continue using this in other workouts.

Thanks, Bob from Cathe.com, for getting back to me with this info. :)
