Hi guys! Has the power outage affected the taping? I hope not! Marcia

I have a barbell cover that I bought a Sports Authority with the velcro that meets. I have a problem that it just doesn't like to stay put, even though I pinch, twist, squeeze, you name it to get it to stick. The other day as I was placing the barbell on my back, it came loose and I ended up...

I was just curious if the fad of Nordic walking has reached the U.S.? It is when you walk with ski poles (shorter actually than ski poles) to increase the cardiovascular effort needed. It started in Finland and has really taken off in Sweden. I've started doing it because it is a great way to...

Hi Cathe! I know you are very busy but I hope you can answer this question. When I do the floor hamstrings exercise in SLA, I have a hard time getting comfortable and when you do them with one leg in the air, I have to modify by doing them like the earlier ones, with both heels on the bench...

Someone mentioned a really good CD-rom that helped them with their nutrition goals. I'm really curious about their experience with it. I remember looking up info about it but then forgot about it since no one had reasonable international shipping. I may be visiting my mom so I can pick it up...

I was so geared to do Step Works last night. It hasn't been in my rotation for a long time (injured, sick and then did CTX rotation) and I was looking forward to it. When I popped it into the VCR, I got an old episode of the Simpsons! It turned out that the tab had never been removed. I never...

I just got to thinking about when I started exercising about 4 years ago. My first two tapes were Kathy Smith's Fat Burning Workout and Jane Fonda's Original Workout. I remember thinking how hard they were and that only fanatics exercised more than 3 times a week. I then discovered the reviews...

Hi Cathe! I have finally come to the point where I can add extra weight on my barbell for MIS. I was just wondering what a reasonable increase is. My barbell weights approximately 22 pounds (Ilive in Sweden and work in kilos). I know I have to listen to my body and so on but is one pound too...

Does anyone have any good tips on how to get the sweat smell out of my exercise gear? The clothes still smell after being washed. Blech. Marcia

If I may boast...I have decided to start weight training. I bought Tough Tape a while back and decided that the barbell was necessary. After two months of irritation I finally got a hold of a barbell and did it for the first time last night. Today I'm feeling it! I'm proud of myself because I've...

Does anyone know of any good companies that sell fitness stuff on the net? I'm in the market for a barbell cover but even somewhere that sells clothes and/or other things. Thanks! Marcia

Can anyone tell me how IMax compares to Gin Miller's Intense Moves? I have Gin's tape and can do almost everything in the hardest form on a 6" step. I've heard so much about IMax that I'm not sure I'll ever buy it! However, I did just purchase 8 tapes so I'm sure that'll keep me busy! ;) Thanks...

I just found out the hard way that even though my VCR plays NTSC tapes (I live in Sweden) that those recorded on Extended Play still do not work in my VCR. I see that about 98 percent of videos are not Extended Play but just tell me that you guys aren't using that format for the new videos! If...

Just like to say to Cathe, way to go! I was watching you today, instead of listen to my stats teacher. Just want you to know that in the very north of Sweden, at 3:10 pm, in the computer room at school, I watched you jumping around in the U.S. I had to have the sound off, of course!

Hi! Time for my first post! I just bought a FIRM tape where it says the barbell is optional. I don't agree but anyway.. I've never used one but I notice that the FIRM's barbell is shorter, like a body bar, while Cathe seems to use a longer barbell. Doe this have any significance? If I were to...
