Why does Cathe wear a black band around her wrist?

[CurlyQ]

This has been bugging me for a while. At first I thought it was a hair elastic but she has her hair up during most of her workouts. I figure someone else may have asked the same question, I know Cathe is busy w/ the new workouts, so does anyone know?

I believe she wears the band on her left wrist to remind her that side is her "right" side when cuing the videos.

Cathe answered this a while ago. I believe it was originally to cue her as to right/left, but she doesn't need it anymore for that, and just uses it as kind of a good-luck charm. [Like basketball players who wear the same underwear throughout a championship for good luck...but cleaner!]

Hi Curly Q! Yes, Kathryn is right. It started out as a helpful reminder but now has become my good luck band. Funny, during the filming of one of the Intensity Series workouts, I noticed that I didn't have my band on while doing the warm up. I actually stopped production to go get it. It just didn't feel right with my bear wrist ;-).

Too funny! Do you know why I thought she wore the black band? To remind her to put her watch back on when she was done working out!! Too funny! During one of her videos, I think it's IMAX 1 she has a watch on for a section, and then the black band on for the remainder of the video. I'm always forgetting stuff like this, so I thought that's what it was used for!! LOL
