Get This! (kinda long and so great!)

Call me sadistic, but i found this really very humorous!


Yesterday my bestfriend came over early before the party so we could do a workout. We both started hitting the workouts pretty hard in Jan. She has hired this personal trainer and worksout with her 4 or 5 days/week. She is always telling me what a drill sargent this chick is and how she is so sore and really working out hard. She knows i do Cathe workouts at home and so, yesterday, she says it's ok with her if we do one. SO, i pick ME}( Halfway throught the warmup(the part where you raise your legs out to the seid for a while) she says, "OMG!" and she's huffin and puffing! :7 So she regroups and we start the workout. Leg presses first right? i had her using only 2 sets of risers. she about died. Then squats with the 40lb. she gets halfway through. i haven't cracked up yet. i keep going. we skipped back and push ups and went to biceps. she had 5lb dumbells. i was using 15 lb barbell. Now the biceps are mean in ME and i can just barely do them all. Well, halfway through, she stops adn says, "Damn! This lady is a beast! " }( }( i say, yeah! i know! why do you think i haven't been going to the gym with you???? Beki, i'd like you to meet Cathe Frederich.....MY personal trainer." she gets this semi grin on her face and sits on the step exhausted and says, " i need to get me some videos!" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! was my response to that! :D so i suggested we do abs since she was getting so tired. (hadn't even done cardio!) and so we lie down and i put c/w abs in. it's not that hard and i love the music. Needless to say, she didn't make it. This is the first time i have had an opportunity to show her my workouts and she was thoroughly impressed and shocked. I'm waiting to see if she stays with her trainer or not. She said,"no wonder you are losing weight so much faster than me!"

THANK YOU CATHE!!!

That's gotta make you feel good. I really despise when people ask what I do to work out and I tell them I do workout videos at home, mostly, and they give me THAT LOOK. You know the one. The one that your friend was probably giving you until SHE DISCOVERED THE PAIN THAT IS CATHE!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Oops. Sorry. Got a little carried away there.:p
 
Great story!! Hopefully she will be converted and give up that expensive trainer in exchange for our favorite trainer - CATHE!!!!
 
She won't be back. You've scared her off for sure. I haven't been able to successfully "convert" anyone. Cathe is just too dang hard for most Americans.
 
Awesome Jes!

Don't 'cha love it when people ask you where you train/workout and they look at you like you have a square head when you tell 'em you work out at home to videos?!?! I'm turning quite a few of my co-workers on to Cathe! They're lovin' her just like us! There's just no disputing the results when using these workout routines consistently. Keep up the good work, Jes! Stay strong!

I kind of wonder what she DOES at the gym if the warm-up wipes her out and she's using 5# for biceps?
 
That is so cool! It's hard not to gloat isn't it?! Nnah Nnah! I did this on my own! :p I say Gloat away!

Oh, I gloated! Believe me. She just sat there with her mouth open while i did all the reps. It's taken me months to be able to do all the reps and use the weight, so i think i have earned a gloat or two!

She said that they do sets of 8 or 12 reps, but that she takes breaks in between sets, and i explained that ME is a muscle endurance workout and taking breaks would defeat the purpose. In her defense, she was suffering from DOMS and all the leg lifts in the warmup were kicking her ass}( but i was laughing at her b/c she had been braggin about how her trainer was whippin her into shape. she has never done step and i didn't want to scare her to death, but she wanted to see what it looked like to determine if she would like it or not. So i showed her C/W cause the step moves are easy(imho). She said it didn't look too bad and she liked the music, but she didn't have the energy to try it yesterday. Wheenie!:p she was chicken i say!!!

Jes...you deserved a HUGE gloat!!! I am so proud of you and how well you have done with Cathe. Way to go!! I always laugh when I hear someone say "Can you really get good results working out at home?"....DUH!!.....they apparently have not heard of Cathe....:+ :7 }( ....Carole
 
Jes

Your story rings so true!
I too have had a hard time convincing my friends that Cathe is indeed a challenging workout producer. They just don't believe a 'home work out' can possibly be so challenging. Recently I loaned a couple of my older Cathes (VHS) to a good friend who does triathalons. She now has a new respect for Cathe and her faithful customers. I also loaned my hairdresser some Cathe step tapes and Body Max. Still waiting to hear...

Jes,

Isn't it a great feeling!!! a lot of people have been asking me lately what I do when I work out, so I have been showing them..they can't even make it through one of the workouts without almost dying...LOL!!

I have lended out some the Cathe workouts that I recorded off Fit TV before I bought all of the DVD's ...I gave them to her 3-4 weeks ago..I have not heard a thing..whenever I ask her if she has done the workouts.. she says no. This is someone who claims she does Step all the time....Riiiiiiiightt!! LOL

My brother came over to workout with me a few weeks ago, he was talking big stuff before he came over...When we started he had a lot of trouble..could not even do 1/2 the workout and he could not do the push ups..LOL He has not been back ever since his second day with Cathe..LOL!! Second day was IMAX 2

Cathe ROCKS!!!!!!!!

I am the official Cathe Spokes person at work!! People listen and seem interested..one of these days another Cathe fan will be born..

:) ;-) :D :p :9 :7 :+
