Hello everyone! I've been *lurking* for the last few days trying to learn as much as I can about Cathe and her workouts- there is SO much stuff my head was spinning!
Also you folks seem so supportive, helpful and caring that I felt comfortable reading these forums.
Anyway, I am looking to start some Cathe workouts- saw her on Fittv and was blown away. I have been doing the FIRM for the last few years about 4-5 times a week, and did martial arts for over 15 years. I have have a type of anemia (hereditary) that causes me to use up my red blood cells 5 times faster than normal people so I get winded easier and faster (I just pace myself and modify moves if I need to). I've been using a heart rate monitor hoping it will help me to improve my endurance (seems it got worse once I turned 40). I would like to improve my muscle tone (FIRM helped me alot but I would like to mix up my routine with some more challenging workouts). I'm thinking of starting with her BB Timesaver DVD (shorter but still intense)- what's your opinion? Also what equipment will I need for this DVD? I'm 5'2" and want to get her new ministep- what height should I order? I'm also thinking of preordering her new ones. Any feedback would be so welcome and appreciated. Thanks everyone and have a terrific day!
