Cathe, Chris and gang,

I've had a huge response to my compilation of Forum members' favorite rotations, and the great suggestion has been made by the wise Sophie (SnowyOwl) that maybe you guys could set us up a Rotations Forum. Any chance of that? I think you'd find it really popular.

Thanks!

RE: Rotation Forum

I made this suggestion 2 years ago. SNM said that they would consider it for a future date, but never did--I'm not sure why. Anyway, I would love to see a Rotation Forum on Cathe's site. It would be a great addition!

RE: FANTASTIC Idea!!

I would love to see a rotations forum, too. I'm always curious to see what everyone else is doing and hear about their results!

Please, SNM!!!

RE: FANTASTIC Idea!!

If I may please 3rd this idea (or 8th?) Anyway, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a rotation forum.

Thanks, Ruth
 
We've actually talked about doing this as well as adding a success story forum. Though this is easy to do I want to wait until we upgrade the forum software to the latest version of DCF before making any changes - Probably sometime after we finish the new videos.

Kathy, do you think allowing tapes other than Cathe's in to the rotation ideas is OK? I write new rotations every month and include a cycle of the the over 100 tapes I own. Would that be appropriate or would we be using Cathe's tapes exclusively? Would SNM be offended by that idea? Don't want to step on any toes here. I just enjoy writing and sharing rotations.

DM!

It is stated that you can talk about other videos on The "DISCUSSION" forum. The "VIDEO" forum is to talk about Cathe tapes if I understand right??? Hop in here someone if I am wrong!

RE: DM!

You're right Debbie. I was thinking the same thing. I think our of respect for Cathe and what everyone does at SNM (not to mention what first rate workouts they put out) we should have a rotation that at least includes Cathe but I doubt if they'd have a problem with using other videos. Of course, I'm assuming here and you know what that does....LOL

Cathe is my optimum favorite and I sort of build my monthly rotations "around" Cathe's tapes. I just don't want to offend any one at SNM if I include other tapes with Cathe's tapes in rotations.

RE: A Cathe Monogamist . . .

I would like to 5th or 7th or whatever the notion of a Rotations Forum! I personally, now, only plan to use Cathe Friedrich tapes for my home workouts - I've lined up 10 CF tapes that my husband is going to get me for my 40th birthday :), and I'd love to learn everyone else's "Strictly Cathe" rotations!

Have a great weekend, all!

I think it would be fine to include other non-Cathe videos in our posted rotations, as long as a rotation with non-Cathe's in it is clearly labelled as such. Cathe and SNM have always been very gracious in allowing us to discuss other instructors & videos and exercise/fitness options (e.g., running) in the "Other" forum. (And we'd need to be respectful of Cathe's website and keep these discussions contained in the "Rotations" forum or the "Other" forum.)

Also, I personally think it would promote the long-term use of Cathe's videos for us to explore coordinating her videos with other cross-training. As much as I adore Cathe's tapes, and they are my hands-down favorites, I do try to use some of my others occasionally, and my treadmill and NordicTrack and bike, etc., just for variety and interest. I'd be willing to bet that Cathe would endorse that idea since she is such an advocate of cross-training and refreshing your body & mind in that way.

In the Rotations document (now called "Cathe Forum Rotations Volume I") there are some total Cathe rotations, some Cathe-FIRM rotations, some that include lots of different instructors (Cathe, FIRM, Christi, yoga, Pilates), and recumbent bike.

I would love to see some of your rotations and hear how you construct them. Would ya share? :)

I think it would be okay

Of course, it would be up to SNM and Cathe to make the final decision, but I would think that it would be acceptable to add non-Cathe activities in our rotations on the forum.

In fact, I've seen numerous instances where Cathe has written rotations for people that HAVE used other videos, as well as outdoor activities, cardio machines, weight training machines etc.

Obviously, any rotations here are likely to have a Cathe bias :D cuz that's what we LOVE! but I'm sure I've seen many posts from her that advocate cross training with other exercise styles and even other video instructors.

Someone correct me if I've misinterpreted!
