Hello everyone. As you can tell by the post title I'm a newbie here. I've actually been a member for a couple of weeks but have been doing lots of quality time in the search menu in an attempt to decide which series/set will be my 1st purchase. I'm ordering CTX sometime this week.
My name is Diana, but since there are 22 Diane/Diana's (didn't count the Di's) registered on this site, I'm using a variation of my middle name. Call me Violette.
Discovered Cathe's program on FitTV in Sept, but didn't know who she was until a little bit later. Then I moved. Hubby ordered the Dish Nework satellite yesterday which does not have FitTV!!! x( I promptly called the company and told them to get on the ball :D My new house is waaay in the gooseneck boonies. The nearest convenience store is an inconvenient 15 minutes away. The gym is 35 minutes if there's no snow so now I have an excuse to put together a home gym. Finally found the box that the VCR was packed in so I watched the All Step video to see what I'm in for. Oh my! :eek: It will be fun!
Anyway, that's it for now. Happy to be here.

Welcome Violette! I hope you have luck with Dish to get you Fit TV! I have Direct myself. Don't watch Cathe on there much as I have most all of her workouts. I've been a fan a long time and I am sure you will be addicted quite soon! Lots of posters here will help you spend your money..:+ ....Carole
 
Carole,

You beat me to the post. That was because I stopped at "I finally found the box the VCR was in".

Violette,

I stopped and decided what your first Cathe purchase should be, a DVD player. Quick put that VCR back in the box and pretend it was broken }( . Seriously, welcome to the Cathe forums.

Have a good time shopping,

Hi and thanks for the welcome Carole & Jordan.
I have two DVD players. The All Step that came with the step is in VHS format. That's why I'm buying CTX...in DVD. My 14 y/o is being kind enough to let me hook up the VCR in her room until I can get the CTX ordered. I can't wait! Thanks again.

Violette
 
Okay, now I'm jealous!! 2 DVD players!!! CTX is a great choice Violette, I have those but on VHS....:)....Carole
 
Carole, one of the DVD players is a Sony Playstation. But hubby is about to upgrade both the TV and proper DVD player in the living room. He's a techno-junkie. Then, we'll have 3 DVD players. Whadda waste :rolleyes:

Thanks for the welcome Jess, Dani & Wendy.
I'm about 40 miles from Erie PA and 2 hrs from Pittsburgh. It's been an adjustment.
Happy to find workout videos that fit in with my strength training philosophy and to have a whole group of people to suffer through DOMS with is great.
On my way to Erie to get a rack to put my dumbells on...:D

Hi Violette,

Welcome to the Cathe community. You will love your stay here...but be warned...your credit card will soon begin to get very hot!

So many people that I can't keep track of the names! Thanks for the warm welcome. Found a sporting goods store that had the High Step. Muscle Endurance from the Intensity series came with it. In, you guessed it, VHS format. I can't win for losing folks! Seriously, I read the description and this is going to be even more fun than the All Step. If y'all don't see me for the next few days, assume that I'm in a Naproxen induced stupor and pray for my children. :+ Actually, I'll be pre-viewing the video tonight. Then I have to go through the garage to find my dumbells. I think my husband paid the movers to put my DB's in the far reaches (read: behind everything else) of the garage. That's the only thing I can come up with explain why I can't find the things! Frustrating x(
Thanks again folks.

Violette
 
Muscle Endurance is probably my all time favorite! You will love it, I'm sure. I have many dvd's that I adore, but if I had to be stranded with only one, it would be ME!!
 
I'm thinking that I will enjoy this one too. Weight training is one of my favorite things to do and the harder, the better. Will be alternating the All-Step (sans shoulder work) with the ME until I can get the rest of CTX. Still trying to put together a plan. I've gained a few pounds since late October so those need to go. But I may start with 1 day each then 1 day off till my body acclimates then work it from there. We'll see.
