Hey, I had a really cool idea

Taken from my own selfish fantasies, of course.

Wouldn't it be awesome if Cathe/SNM had some kind of contest for one of her fans to appear in her next DVD? Or, if she has a series, maybe she could pick one for each DVD in the series. I'd be happy to pay expenses--I'm just looking to fulfill a dream here. ;-)

I don't know what kind of contest--I would hate for it to be some kind of "weight loss" or "meet your goal" thing b/c I couldn't participate. I'd be happy w/a simple drawing.

Whaddya think?
 
Cool idea, but I don't think I'd win. Have you seen the bodies on some of the Catheites in here? Whoa mamma! Although I would be happy if any of the girls win. Then I can say oh I've talked to her in the forums every time I do the workout haha.
 
Yeah, I would like to see someone else on there. I am not as smooth as Cathe yet...still working on it, but I got the explosive lunges down really good like Cathe.

Maximus- I would like to see you in a Boot Camp workout. ;-)

Charlotte~~
 
LOL I would like to be seen in a boot camp workout.

OK thinking about this a little more (can you tell the boss is on vacation this week? :D ), the only criticism I've ever had of Cathe's productions is the fact that every single woman is in absolutely perfect shape. When you look at other instructors' workouts, they typically will have women at different levels so begginners/intermediates/advanced can follow along at their own level. It also might be a little less intimidating/a little more inspiring if they had more, I don't know, average women for lack of a better term.

So what I'm saying is you don't have to be in tip top shape--in fact it might be better if you weren't.
 
What about Cedie? Obviously she's in great shape, as she can do the entire workout, but she certainly doesn't look like everyone else. The other blonde, too (can't remember her name) - she's not as cut as everyone else. I think there is variety in their appearance anyway. Who wants a video with people who can't complete it, in it?
 
Hey, Maximus, you're not the only one who's thought about this. I think that would be a really great idea! Or maybe a WHOLE class of Catheites. I can think of tons of women on here who would be inspiring in a workout DVD.:)
 
I think Cedie is still in better shape than 99.5% of women in the world. She's not as cut as everyone else, but she's still in pretty amazing condition.

I'm not saying it should be a video with people who can't complete it. I read a lot of posts from beginners here expressing frustration b/c they can't get the moves down or can't finish, & I think it's b/c they don't know the options they have for modifications.

For example, Karen Voight always has one person doing her routine without the step. Or someone else doing the workout without power.

I also think it would be less discouraging & more inspiring if there were crew members beginners et al could identify with.
 
I was just thinking about this yesterday when I was doing Imax for the umteen hundredth time.

I would love for Cathe to "re-release" some of the more popular older vids. She wouldn't have to change the choreography, but maybe update the music and utilize some Cathe "fans" for the crew.

Maybe a topic for the "Suggestions" forum?
 
Maximus, this idea rocks!!! What if she did it in conjunction with a road trip and had a contest where people could vote for their favorite. You could have the participants demonstrate Cathe moves or submit an essay. Heck, even just a drawing would be fair.

Yummy idea! It would certainly be a dream come true for me!!! Heck, I'd pay expenses and then some.
 
I think it would be awesome too if some fans could be on the DVD's. Could you just imagine all the preparations for getting ready for the filming though.
 
I was recently thinking something similar, but instead of a "guest appearance," you would win a day with Cathe as your personal trainer!
 
OMG - if I had Cathe as my PT for a day, I'm pretty sure she'd kill me dead! But I would love every minute of it up until my death! :D

I love the idea of having loyal Cathe fans in the workout vids. I would LOVE to do it, but I don't know how well it would go over to have a drenched-in-sweat, baggy-pants-wearing, huffing-puffing woman in a professional fitness production. And studio lights would just make me even hotter, sweatier and more out-of-breath! LOL! I would be alright demonstrating the beginner modifications though... ;)

I can hear Cathe saying, "And with me today is Emily, who will be doing the workout with no step and no weights!"
 
WE already have Cathe as our personal trainer! I'd rather just take her out for lunch and talk to her about her business. deb;-)
 
That is a cool idea, but I'd need the travel expenses paid. If I'm going to pay any airfare, it's going to be so I can take my daughter to Disney World.
 
Humm..I'd do it in a heartbeat if she didn't mind grunting and swearing in the background. I don't think I'd be the one w/ a smile pasted to my face for an hour.

I'd be taking longer breaks than Cathe and the rest of the crew ("don't mind me, guys, I'll catch up to you in a second!"), modifying (just put me in an IMAX workout and see how far down one can modify it!), and, if Cathe had us doing umpteen reps of air jacks or plyo repeaters, I'd be rolling my eyes and saying "No WAY!"
Wouldn't THAT make for a fun video?
 
i'm with you Emily, i would be the one standing there looking like i just peed my pants and breathing like i need an inhaler!x(

have a healthy day!
 
Boy, these are great ideas/fantasies.;-)

Mine is simple and along the lines of winning FREE copies of her next series. Or win, in a drawing, a paid round-trip ticket to visit Cathe's gym and participate in one of her classes.
