Hi Everyone-I'm New to Cathe

Hi Everyone,

My name is Robin and I am relatively new to Cathe. I ordered the Basic Step and Body Fusion a couple of weeks ago. It was my first Cathe dvd. I managed to do it once through and tried it again the next day and couldn't do the whole thing. I have tried it 3 times though in two weeks.

I am 48 years old and haven't done step in years. It was fun to do.

I have been exercising since April of this year. I have been using a mixture of Taebo, Leslie Sansone, just recently the Firm, and a couple of months of Pilates. I have lost 21 pounds and 23 inches. I have about 30 pounds more to go. I have the Firm's BSS2 System and I purchased the BSS3's dvd's only. I do enjoy those also.

I preordered two of Cathe's dvd's. I also purchased the dvd with MIS, Power Hour, and Max I think. Those should be coming on Wednesday according to UPS.

I never thought I would enjoy working out with weights. My husband has been working out with weights for years and I would never try them with him. Now that he isn't working out with them anymore, he laughs at me because now I am using them.

I am looking forward to meeting everyone and learning more about Cathe workouts.

God Bless,
Robin:)
 
Welcome to the forum and to Cathe's workouts, Robin!
Congratulations on your weight loss. Looks like you're well on your way to reaching your goal.
I like the MIS/Power Hour/BOdy Max DVD. It's a great place to start with Cathe's strength workouts. PH is tough!
I do alot of different workouts, but Cathe is one of my two favorites for weight work.
I have quite a few Firm workouts as well. What are you doing for an incline bench for the BSS3 workouts? I saw a photo of how to set up a regular club step to imitate the 14# one-side rise of the Firm "box" and it works really well.
 
Hi Robin!!! WELCOME to Cathe Land! It's nice to meet you. Sounds like you have a great start with a mixture of different types of exercise. Congrats on your weight loss and inches. SUPER!!! Also, it is great that you already have weights to use and don't have to go out and buy them. Show your hubby how you can get rid of those cobwebs on them.;-) You are in for a real treat with the DVD's you ordered. Keep us posted and we look forward to getting to know you better.

I have a feeling that not only are you going to get some amazing workouts but your credit card will be getting a pretty good workout too.;-) Congrats on your recent weight loss!!!

RE: Hi Everyone-I'm New to Cathe-BSS3

Hi Kathryn,

Thanks for the welcome.

The step works just fine with the BSS3 system. I wasn't going to buy another bench. I had ordered the BSS2 system as I had just found out about the Firm and then they came out with the BSS3 one. Any of the steps in BSS3 can be modified for inclining and you don't need to buy it.

Have a great Sunday!
Robin
 
Welcome Robin...I have done mostly Cathe for years. Did some Firm before that. I never loose the desire for stepping...it is quite fun! Congrats on your weightloss!....way to go...:)

I have that DVD you got and I go back to it alot as I enjoy rotating my weight workouts. Now you can just show off to your husband and get his weights working for you!

This is a great forum and I have learned alot from everyone here...:)...Carole
 
Hello Robin and welcome,

I'm relatively new to working out with Cathe at home too, even though I'm a group fitness instructor - the distance to the gym was too great and I am really enjoying myself at home, especially the strength training.

Look forward to chatting on the Forum,
Liz N :)

PS - Way to go with the weight loss :)
 
Hi Robin,

Welcome to the group! These forums are so informative, inspirational and often comical:) Some of us post our daily workouts - it is great getting to know everyone and finding out what they are doing not only with regards to workouts but life in general - you (and anyone else)are more than welcome to join us.

Congratulations on your weight loss (Wish I had a clapping and jumping smiley to insert here - I know Debbie would know where to get that.:) Now that you are incorporating Cathe into your workout routine, those last pounds should just fly off since you are shocking your system.

I dont have the Power Hour,etc. DVD yet but it is definitely on my "want me's" list right after I get the Terminator DVD. Trust me you will soon be addicted to Cathe and you'll get the "want me's" too if you haven't already :)

See you on the forums and keep us posted, Wendy

Welcome Robin! I just wanted to say Hi and I love your screen name! Does that mean you've been doing ALOT of TaeBo? :) Anyway congratulations on your weight loss and for finding Cathe! Your
choice of MIS, Power Hour and Body Max is a good one! You'll be able to create many combinations with that DVD as well as doing the workouts as they are. Have fun with your new purchases! :) :) :)
