Hi everyone!
I have to say that I am new to Cathe having just purchased my first video (StepMax). I am a huge fitness buff mainly to relieve stress. Three times a week I pull the cars out of the garage (I have the most space there) plug in a T.V. and away I go! I was beginning to get a bit disenchanted with workout videos because they always seemed a bit phony. I bought Cathe's video and I was pleasantly surprised. It was nice to see Cathe and her girls working and sweating as hard as I was. By the end of the workout, my sports-bra was soaked to the skin, my hair was drenched and my body was absolutely glistening and dripping with sweat all over while feeling as though I worked myself to the max. That is my type of workout! What I didn't like was mainly how the video was made cosmetically. While it was nice to see Cathe on the television doing the workout and really sweating, at the same time here I was looking like a drowned rat soaked to the skin and there was Cathe, hair looking nice, leotard dry, and most of all breaking in the middle of the workout to dry off before starting the next segment so she can look nice. I see this in many videos, and not jsut Cathe. I just wish they would just workout hard just like I do all the way to the end regardless of how uncosmetic it might look on the screen, that way I know the are enduring the same things I am.

..I had to chuckle at your comment...wait till you get other Cathe vids, like her later releases..you'll see her sweat;-). You just happened to pick up an earlier video...I think you'll find that Cathe sometimes resembles a little drowned rat (and I say that affectionately). I'm thinking of MIC(Maximum Intensity Cardio) in particular...and she doesn't do a quick change there(hmmm..or does she?:-rollen) but I remember her hair being soaked..either way, you'll find that most of her videos have her sweating and breathing just as hard as the rest of us..well maybe not the breathing part..but she's workin';-).
