Please consider having one taller exerciser . . .

Cathlete
In several weight workouts I've noticed that I can't seem to keep up with Cathe's speed of movement during weight lifting.

I used to think it was just because I was so much weaker than she is. Sometimes she completes the whole movement while I'm just getting to the guts of it (BB bicep curls, especially). But an intelligent friend pointed out that Cathe has shorter levers than I do, enabling her to execute all movements faster than I can. Also, those good old laws of physics tell me a longer lever requires greater strength to do the same work as a shorter lever.

I am hoping one cast member will be of average height or above, because it's a nice visual guide on lifting in this situation and this is going to be a LOT weight work. Rhonda was wonderful for me, but a substitute will do ;)

Thanks, Cathe and SNM! :*
 
Considering there will be men in the workouts- you should be getting your wish. I doubt the men would be under 5'8" :) us tall peeps will have a better reference... :)
 
I'm 5'9" and now that you pointed this challenge out - it makes total sense. Yes - I agree - a taller exerciser please!
 
another vote for a tall person. i cant move as quickly with weights or aerobics and it isnt the age! i am 5-11

I'm 5'7" and have long arms and a long torso (I have lots of trouble finding tops and sleeves that fit) and I also can't keep up with Cathe on bicep curls and especially pushups!

Maybe the male exercisers will help on this score, assuming they are taller than Cathe and crew.:)
