If you don't mind me asking...what happened to your knee??

[StepDiva2000]

Hi Cathe!! Congratulations on your new baby. I have to tell you that I think you are ssooooo awesome!! Love your videos. I wish that I could look just like you. You are so fit! Anyways, after studying and practicing your videos over and over. I am also a fitness instructor, so I try to constantly come up with new stuff for my classes. (Videos, workshops, turnstep, and other instructors' classes) I usually introduce a little bit at a time when it comes to rythmic stuff. Totally love your videos I am working towards getting them all, $$$. Anyways, I just kinda noticed that it appears that you might have had knee surgery and if you don't mind talking about it, I was curious what happened? I teach at several clubs: Monday night kickboxing, Tuesday night Step then Yoga, Wednesday night Step, Thursday night Step then Aqua-X; and Senior Fitness Monday & Weds 10am where I work full-time for senior housing. Your knee got me wondering if it was from overuse or an accident. I was taught by my AFAA Master instructor to never do back to back classes and then another veteran instructor said no more than 3 step classes per week. I love step. It is absolutely my favorite and I enjoy mixing the other classes in my schedule. I have no physical problems right now and have learned when to listen to my body if I need a break. Also...Where can I learn more about your nutrition plan? Thank you so much in advance. Keep up the awesome work!! Take Care, Kim from Maine

If you don't mind me poking my nose in here, I believe I recall reading that she had an acl reconstruction due to a skiing injury (I THINK). ;-) Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you're right - I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Cathe had a skiing accident that led to surgery.Can't remember where exactly, but it was probably here someplace.

Kim,
Im just butting in here because I asked the same question several months ago. Im a recovering knee injury patient and was curious after seeing closeups of Cathe's knee scar in assorted videos.
She replied that she had an ACL reconstruction surgery following a nasty ski accident.
So, even if she doesn't reply to this, you now know that even the demi-goddesses in the Fitness World can be sidelined from time to time<VBG>
