Sentimental Journey with Cathe...

I enjoyed a sweatfest with the Gauntlet today and got feeling very sentimental. I started working out with Cathe before the Intensity Series was released so it was the first series that I got caught up in the pre-release excitement. I was in College at the time and remember coming home after a long day of classes feeling pretty much spent. Well the package in my door changed all that and I ended up doing BootCamp and IMAX2 back to back!! Today when I was doing an IMAX2 section, where the song is 'Everybody', I had a total flashback to those wonderful College days. I had another funny Cathe moment a few weeks ago. I was listening to Stevie Wonder's 'Songs in the Key of Life'. It used to be that when I heard 'I Wish' doing the MIC step portion I would flashback to listening to the album with my brother, now when I hear it it's a total Cathe experience, makes me want to do an 'up-and-back, up-and-back-again and a basic'. Cathe is now hardwired into my memories and I think it's a wonderful and positive thing. No one I know would care or understand if I shared this with them, but I knew that you all would completely understand.;) What are your 'good old' Cathe memories?

I still remember trying Power Max for the first time more than 10 years ago & thinking huh? WTH is she doing? Am I supposed to understand this? (and no, I wasn't questioning the butt floss & scrunched up socks)

Now the choreography seems so easy compared to workouts like RS & IMAX3, but back then I didn't think I'd ever get the hang of it.

I just laughed so hard at this that I cried!
 
I have only been working out with Cathe for about a year. I found her on Fitv. I tried BootCamp and I was thinking"is the woman mad?!!" And that wasn't even the whole w/out. It was the edited version on Fitv. Now I think BootCamp is one of the easier w/outs I have. Cathe has taken me a looong way in a year!

One of my fondest memories involves you, dear Laurie. Like LauraMax, it involves PowerMax. I can no longer hear the song "Push It" without remembering the day you and I both did that video. I did it very modified, as I was at the end of my pregnancy, and we were attempting to encourage the baby to GET OUT!!!!

Thanks for sharing your college memories with us, Laurie. I'm impressed you discovered Cathe so long ago.

I REMEMBER THAT!!!:7 Sandra, Honey you just made my day Girl!!!:) I love that story!!!
Time sure flies, Katie's what....a year and half now. Love the pictures of your family.... Thanks for sharing that memory Sandra and putting a big smile on my face!!

I just reaquired Interval Max several months ago, and when I did it, I remembered how I thought the music sounded like something out of a 60's spy series (which I thought was cool!), and I also remembered that Cathe says something about one of the songs making her feel like she was on a tropical island, and this was right before she and her hubby did go vacation somewhere like that, and she got pregnant with her first son!
 
Well, this year marks my 10 year anniversary - with my DH and with Cathe. I got her How to Get In Shape For Your Wedding Video, and I was hooked. SO, it's a great memory whenever I think of how hard that workout was for me - and now how easy it would be to do. All thanks to Cathe. And I just loved her sense of humor in it, because I could totally relate to what she was saying.

Gosh, I remember doing Power Max about 6 years ago for the first time. All I could think was, "You mean people actually do this entire workout all at once?!". It took me a while to get thru the entire thing. But I did it, and then I went up to an 8" step. Now, I think I'd be happy if I just made it through the whole thing again.
I never should have let myslef go the way I did....

Yes! I asked myself the same exact thing!! But, it was the first BodyMax I tried, I think almost 5 years ago. I just remember stopping and sitting down and staring at the tv with my jaw dropping to the floor.

About 2 weeks later I was flying through the whole thing...no problem.

Four years ago.... All Step... I popped the tape in and stepped behind my circuit step (the one that came with the tape)... did a couple of steps and then when she started that "tripling around!!", I too just sat and stared!

Sandra, Laurie --- Oh I remember the "Push It" party!! We were cheering you on Sandra while Miss Katie was not being cooperative! LOL... Oh my has it been a year and a half! Where does the time go?
 
Laurie and Jane,

How nice that you both remember that day, too!! That means a lot to me. Katie has turned out to be an avid Cathe fan, which shouldn't be surprising, all things considered. If you check out my picture trail, you'll see her working out to SJP, wearing weighted gloves. She was around 15 months in that pic.

It's a good memory that always puts a smile on my face, too. :*

Funny how so many of our fond memories involve PowerMax.

Cheers,
Sandra
