How I Discovered Cathe

FWIW to you fitness fans here, I thought I'd tell a story about how I found out about Cathe and this website.

Up until the last couple months I had been out of shape, overweight and I knew it. Going to the beach and seeing all the fit and trim people in their swimsuits made me rather insecure. I was 30lbs overweight and it showed, my posture wasn't too good either from a long term problem with my back, which has always been weak and prone to injury. I had seen all the infomercials about those exercise machines that promise a lot but the news reports said they were all a waste of time and money.

The turning point came one day at the jewelry store where I was shopping for a bracelet for my niece on her birthday. The saleswoman was in her early 40s and at first glance was thin and petite, the way I picture JRFitness from her description in the Bicep Moments column. At first, you wouldn't take her seriously as someone who was strong and fit. But as she was talking to me, at one point she pulled her long hair back behind her with her right hand. As she did this, this big ball of rock hard looking muscle suddenly popped out and WOW, it looked almost ready to explode. It just popped up out of nowhere like a jack-in-the-box.

So I had to ask her if she works out and she said yes, and then mentioned that she has a small home gym and uses exercise video tapes. I asked whose tapes and where could I get them and that's when she told me about Cathe. I bought the tapes she recommended, CTX, CK, MIC and MIS. But she recommended that I should try easing into it first and that was very good advice! I wouldn't be alive to talk about this otherwise. In the last few weeks I have already made improvements, losing almost an inch from my waist and almost as much off my butt. Thanks Cathe for such wonderful videos and website. And thanks to that saleswoman too. I'm glad I bought that bracelet from her.
 
I enjoyed read your story, thank you for sharing. Congrats. on your progress. I hope you post more, keep us updated.
 
What a great story! I think you need to go back and buy yourself a bracelet when you reach one of your goals. Keep us posted and thanks for sharing. (Was just wondering if the salewoman ever lurks or posts here??? It would be nice for her to know the impact she had on someone for being healthy!)

Good question Debbie and thanks for the kind words. I went back to check the receipt and her name was Rachel. I don't know if she browses these forums, but I might go back in there someday after I shed some more lbs and tone up and thank her for the info referring me here. Then I'll buy that bracelet to treat myself with. A good incentive for keeping with the program don't you think?
 
Yes, Marti!

A VERY good encentive! This may sound corny, but if that were me, I think I might just pick up that phone tomorrow, call the store and ask for Rachel! If you wait, she may never know! (Of course, that is just my opinion. I think of it as a gift she gave YOU and one of the greatest gifts you'll ever receive!) Cathe is an addiction you'll never tire of. Keep us posted! Also, let us know which bracelet you choose!!!;-)

Hi Marti! What a great story. I'm so glad you bought a bracelet from this woman too or I would never have met you here now. I'm so happy to hear of your progress so far too. Keep up the great work and way to go! Thanks for sharing:).
