Success Stories
I know what you’re thinking…what’s the big deal about 4 ½ pounds? Well, this success story isn’t so much mine as it is my son’s.I have been an avid exerciser for the past 9 years. In 2003 I found Cathe tucked inside a box that my newly purchased step came in. It was love at first
My success story is just beginning and know that it will be ongoing for the rest of my life! Before I can tell you about my success, you need to know where I came from. I apologize in advance for this being so long! In high school I was a competitive swimmer – I trained
So there I was getting ready for a 5-1/2 hr hysterectomy surgery to remove 35+ lbs. of tumours. While I was at home on leave from work, I found Fit-TV and through that outlet I found Cathe and quickly became hooked. Though I had to take a small break after surgery from real tough workouts,
I am 46. I was in reasonably good shape and fairly active but my weekend activities were eclipsed by three or four days of recovery. While I’ve never been overweight I was starting to gain a few pounds as my boredom with my workout regimen grew. I was running a few days a week but
I started out in July of 2002, after having my last of 3 boys in September of 2001, with all the weight of each pregnancy, if not more, still on.In 2003 I was turning 40 which I wasn’t looking forward to, and the fact that my size 18 pants were getting too tight was enough
When I got pregnant I had been following Cathe’s DVDs for five years. I was very excited to be pregnant and progressing with mine and my husband’s marriage. Although I was very excited to be having a baby, I started to worry about my fitness and what was going to happen to my body during
My story is less of a “success story” and is more of a “survivor’s” story. Christmas 2008 (at the age of 36), I was diagnosed with breast cancer… a very aggressive form. What a shock! I didn’t smoke, didn’t drink, ate healthfully, and exercised everyday. I wasn’t supposed to get cancer! Fast forward a year:
My story is not about losing weight or getting toned. I was already in a good place. But I wanted to prove to myself and others that Moms (both working and stay at home) can really push themselves to achieve a higher level of fitness and strength despite the fact that we many times put
We take our balance for granted. When we think of disabilities, we think of spinal cord injuries and fractures, but likely take it for granted that our relatively small feet will keep our bodies upright. Eight years ago, I was diagnosed with an extremely large brain tumor. I’m forever thankful it was benign. I had
Well, my journey continues as I have now officially entered menopause (August 13th). I have been a dedicated Cathe fan since 1999. I love, love, LOVE all of her cardio workouts. I struggle, struggle, STRUGGLE with the weight workouts. But, hey, I have lots of equipment and at least I am trying? Anyway, as I
I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. There would be times when I would drop a few pounds, but they always came back. I got my first Cathe DVD, Timesaver, a few years and enjoyed it, but had a problem with consistency. After losing my father in December 2007,
I’ve been a pretty avid exerciser for years. I did the gym thing, aerobic classes, water aerobics, weights,brisk walking. I really started in earnest when my son was born (31 years ago). I walked with the stoller and bought tapes! (yep, shows my age). I was a stay-at-home mom so that was the best way
