Cathlete
she has taught me that intensity is most important and that heavy weights don't matter if your form isn't right
 
She taught me the right way to exercise. I had tried a few times to get into shape by joining a gym, but I'd go and workout for hours at a time, but never really see results.

Intensity, yes...determination, discipline, and most importantly - she taught me to enjoy exercise and that there was a jock buried deep inside the girl that was always picked last in gym class.
 
I knew this before finding Cathe but she illustrates it so beautifully, I love her ability to motivate through humour and example. Some instructors, teachers....never get this, you can't berate to motivate, positive re-inforcement gets people to dig deeper into themselves more than negative re-inforcement. I love the way Cathe motivates through positivity and I try to emulate that.

When I was instructing classes I stole from her unabashedly so she also taught me to be a better fitness instuctor. You can't help it when you watch and learn from THE BEST!

Take Care

She has taught me also that exercise is fun. And something I actually look forward to. She has also taught me that you definetly get out of it what you put in to it.

Cathe's absolutely reinforced to me:

1. strong is sexy (stolen from someone on these very forums)

2. you can still be cute while kicking someone's as* }(
 
I could have written Laurie's post. (Okay, Laurie put it beautifully and I never could have done that, but my sentiments are the same...)

And, I *love* the "you can do anything for a minute" philosophy!!! I repeat that to myself not only while exercising, but in life as well... ;-)
 
What has Cathe taught me? She has taught me that ---

Yes, I CAN!!!!

I can do anything for a minute.

8 more WILL NOT kill me (but can we count faster?)

Muscle on women is sexy

Just because I worked out with her for an hour doesn't mean I can eat all the Krispy Kreme's/Haagen Daazs/McDonald's I want to

Hard exercise is fun, but to take it easy when I need to

and most importantly, that is doesn't matter if I'm as strong as her or as fit as her, as long as I am trying MY best, and doing the best I can do. Because being me is just fine, and to like myself the way I am, and to say "phooey" to anyone who doesn't think I am fine the way I am. To be MY best and not someone else's version of what they think I should be!

(woah, that got a little mushy at the end, sorry!)
 
strong and healthy is way sexier then getting into a smaller size and being weak

Cathe has taught me several things:

During workouts, take a break, not a Vacation!

I Can Do Anything for a Minute!

"If I cheat, I am only cheating myself!"

Ditto!!

I have NEVER had FUN like this before when working out. I hate dragging my tired body out of bed most mornings, but I love to see Cathe and the crew, I love the way she makes me work hard, I love the way my body feels afterwards and all day long.
 
I love Cathe's encouragement to be strong and powerful, yet she also stresses balance and listening to your body. Sometimes I feel like a broken record saying to myself and others "listen to your body", but it really does guide you.

Cathe absolutely rocks!!

That you can be over 40 and have 2 kids and still look great. That being strong is wonderful. That I can do straight leg pushups.:) She continues to be a great source of encouragement for me.
