Hi - my name is Linda and I've been lurking for a couple of months now, but now I feel compelled to join and tell you how excited I am to have discovered Cathe's workouts. Like many of you, I am in my early early 40's and have been an athlete for many years. However, since the birth of my twins boys - now almost 3 years old - I had never really been able to get back into a groove with running or never could find the time to go to do step at the gym (and thus hadn't been able to shift this 20# weight gain), so I started looking around on the web for exercize videos and stumbled upon Cathe. Having done step aerobics for many years, I was excited at the promise of the advanced choreography so I bought Rhythm Step and Power Max VHS. The very first time I played them, I knew I had hit on something that would work for me. I was challenged and I really liked Cathe's style. So it was then that I started checking out the forums and got wise and started buying DVD's. I've now got several of Cathe's workouts including Step Blast, Pyramids, Power Hour and Imax2. I am so inspired that I have been getting up early in the morning to work out, something I've never been able to do in the past. I have told my husband that I need to carve out the time every day to work out now and he has been very supportive of that. The best of all is that after a month of doing these workouts (six days a week mind you), I am starting to see results: tummy flattening, some arm definitions, clothes getting bigger; plus when do the workouts I have such great energy now!

Well, as I said I just felt compelled to write because I am feeling so great about my new found work out community. It's great to see how active the forums are because a big part of my inspiration has come from reading others posts. You guys are tough!

Welcome Linda! I lurked awhile myself although I had done Cathe's videos for years. Now though it is mostly Cathe. That is so great you have started seeing results, it really is a good feeling isn't it? A supportive husband is very nice too...and twin boys...wow....what a handful!....:)...Carole
 
Welcome Linda!:)

And so nice to meet another 40something who likes to stay in shape! Twins...oh boy-oh boy!! I'm always in awe of mother's of twins because mine came one at a time and that was tough enough! My youngest is four and absolutely a handful!

I am recently a new member to the Cathe forums/workouts myself and I have found many nice people here who are always willing to give you advice or share experiences. :) :D :)
 
Thank you all for your encouraging messages of welcome. By the way, I am British, any other Brits? I wonder if Cathe is exported to other countries? Thanks again.
