Hi!! After about a month of "lurking", I finally decided to join in the fun. I am working mother and wife (with a two and half year old) who LOVES Cathe's workouts. After years of going to the gym, I finally gave that up in March b/c it was too much of a hassle. I decided to turn to workout videos at home. I started with the obvious ones (those workouts only availabe in stores). They held my attention for about a week. I stumbled upon the videofitness website one day and that is where I found Cathe. The first Cathe video I ordered was MegaStep Blast. I really thought I was going to need an oxygen tank to help me catch my breath--and that was just getting through the first two step sections. It's hard to believe how far I have come in a few months. Now, I am a true believer. I really do think that I am in the best shape I have EVER been in. AND I've finally learned to IGNORE the scales. I have all but maybe one or two of her DVD's and I am VERY excited about the new Body Blast Series. So, I just wanted to say hello and I'm looking forward to being a part of this forum. ( and I'm sure my husband is too, b/c he's tired of hearing me gush about Cathe and how wonderful the workouts are all the time!!)
Thanks!
Jessi:)
 
Welcome aboard!!! Nice to have you FINALLY come out of lurkdoom! :p

What other workouts do you have? Did you order the Body Blast?

What are your workout out plans now that you "found" us!?!

Hi Jessie! How nice to "meet" you. Thanks for sharing with us. You sound like you are on your way to becoming a seasoned exerciser. Good for you! Keep in touch and hugs to the little one. Your hubby sounds wonderfully supportive too(even though they tend to roll their eyes at our behavior now and then ;-))
 
Hello Jessi! I do not post that often, but I saw that you are from Georgia, and since I am from Georgia as well, I thought I would come out of "semi-lurkdom" and welcome you!!

Take care,
Teresa
 
Thank you all for the warm welcome. I am really excited about finally coming out of my "lurking" mode. I have NOT ordered the Body Blast Series YET. The only reason for this is b/c my credit card and I are still getting used to and recovering from my newest additions. About a month ago I ordered the entire Intensity Series (plus the med. ball and the stability ball) and the Body Max/ MIS/ PH DVD. I still have not even done Body Max or Boot Camp yet. Because I'm just getting started in the world of rotations, I have actually backtracked and this week I am completing week one of the July Rotation ( I guess b/c I'm a teacher it's my subconscience wishing for summer again!!). Last week I completed the Endurance rotation that Cathe created for the Intensity Series. I have alot of natural muscle tone and tend to bulk up and gain in size pretty easily in my lower body...yet I can handle heavier weights for the upper body and not bulk up. My ultimate goals are to tone up and trim down my lower body and continue to define and tone the muscles of my upper body. Based on what I've read, I THINK I'm on the right track with the July rotation. Any input would be appreciated.... So, I DEFINITELY plan on ordering the Body Blast series, but I would like to "break-in" my other new toys before I go for the next ones.
Thanks again for all the words of encouragement!!

Jessi,
I am a teacher too. It is hard getting back into the swing of things isn't it? Best of luck to you. I teach a kindergarten behavior class, what do you teach? Last year I worked out in the early a.m., but this year I am trying to work out after school. I am still struggling to find a schedule that really works for me. I do enjoy Cathe and her workouts really motivate me to fit my workouts in! Welcome and enjoy!:D
 
Hi Gogigi! I teach 3rd grade and I really do believe it takes a special kind of person (one with lots of patience) to teach Kindergarten. Bless you!! Yes it is definitely hard to get back into the swing of things. I am newly converted early morning exerciser, so we have our good mornings and we have our bad mornings. I was suppose to tackle Maximum intensity Cardio this morning and I was exhausted when I woke up--so I made it through about half of the hi-lo and then broke down and did CTX step&intervals-just cardio instead. Good for you tackling the workouts afterschool, my energy and time is zapped with my two year old daughter afterschool.
Hope you're having a great year so far!!
:) Jessi
 
Hi Jessie,
I;m pretty new too. It's been about a month and let me tell you, the support and education you get from these "Catheites" is amazing.
Welcome and enjoy the forum, it is truly a site that I log onto every night before I go to bed(so I actually get up when my alarm goes off to do a Cathe workout)

Hi,
Welcome to the forum. I'm another Georgian (North GA). I've been a Cathe fan now for about 3 1/2 years. I still can't keep up with her but I have fun trying. I'm mainly an intermediate exerciser and throw in some advanced stuff on occasion. Take care.

Hi Jessi!

WELCOME! Glad to see you here and posting. As far as your hubby getting tired of hearing you...have him try just ONE Cathe strength tape and he will UNDERSTAND! Got mine hooked after he tried just one. (That was after about three years of him listening to me! Ha!) WELCOME ABOARD!!!

Family

BTW, forgot to tell you: Cathe is considered "family" at our home by me and the children (7, 6, and 18 month old, seriously!). My husband knows not to mess with my "Cathe." :p }( When they are caught up with homework at school...they ask me "can we do a cathe today, mom?"

I loooooove it!

My exercise keeps me happy, energetic and balanced!
