I was following this thread, then also read Beavs's response, and had to say... that was hillarious! Just a comment as I peruse the forums. Marcia

I just read your post and wanted to say "CONGRATULATIONS!!" on your successful life changing habits! Thirty-five pounds is a lot of weight to lose, and you must be proud to be wearing a size 6 now! The important thing is that you know it's a life style change to better your health and you did...

Chris, I don't follow Cathe's rotations but I'm sure you can substitute any upper body work with some version of 4DS strength sections. I have GS TC & BSB, but haven't been doing them as much lately because of the 4DS workouts. (I'm not that disciplined! I sort of do what I feel like doing...

That's great! Please let me know what you think of them. I'll probably be ordering them soon too! (Need a change from all the cardio/strength DVD's... something to slow down my breathing!!) Marcia

Thank you both for you help. I will check namaste.tv. I never noticed the difference in the names of the poses since I don't do it that much. My yoga collection is zero, except what I recorded from Fit TV. Thanks again. Marcia

Has anyone out there done the Namaste Yoga on Fit TV? I'll occasionally do them and find it very calming and relaxing. (Maybe it's the instructor's voice.) Is that a DVD series you can buy? (Can't stand the commercials, or even fast forwarding through them!!) Or can anyone recommend a...

I saw a Walmart ad that had the Perfect Pushup selling for $19.97!!! (Saw it twice... two different weeks.) Of course this was only after I already purchased them for $39.99 at Target with the $10 gift card. Oh well.... Marcia

Hi Andrea (& Kathy) Glad to hear you ladies liked Middlesex. I've never read The Shipping News, but is that the book they did a movie about many, many years ago with Kevin Spacey? (I think he was in it... and I think it had that title. Then again, I can't remember what I had for lunch...

I'm reading "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides. Wow... it's great so far! Anybody read that one? (Really interesting, really different.) Marcia

Someone already said this but... music is such a matter of taste. I REALLY LOVED the music in 4DS! It was different and unique. And I don't like Brick House or Jesse's Girl. Oh well! Guess we'll see, huh?

Janet....I totally agree with everything you said! I also don't have the space for all that equipment but I'll do what I can with what I have and give it my best. And just as you stated, $200+ on 37 DVD's would normally make me very nervous. But thanks to all the helpful input, I've made my...

Hello nkuangel! Thank you for that response. Like amazondotmom, I too was a little wary as to whether I should make this purchase. And I also love Cathe's workouts... been doing them for sometime now. But I wasn't quite clear on how it worked and whether it would be good for me. So you...

I have the same problem, so I do the overhead press on the "drop down" instead of the "step up". Feels awkward at first, but you get almost the same affect. (Well, at least I'm still winded afterward!) Hope that helps. Marcia

I totally agree with you! I'm also 46 (almost 47) and have worked out most of life. Always active, always eating healthy. But after 40, I developed a little "pouch" that won't go away. I even lost weight and that darn thing is still there. Never had kids, so that's not an excuse. My stomach...

Cathe, I just wanted to let you know that I am a super-long time devoted fan! I'm an "almost" 47 year old woman who has searched high and low for exercise dvd's that are challenging and fun. You not only meet that qualification, but, by far, exceed it!! I've been working out almost all...

In my life.... Everyday is "Peanut Butter Lovers Day"!!!! I eat it right out of the jar....have to stop myself most times otherwise I'll eat the whole thing. I think that's what's keeping my extra few pounds on, but I can't help it. Have it all day long...I'm addicted!

Wow! This is the same question I asked a couple of days ago! (Nov.25th or so...Guess I should have researched a little harder.) It's good to know I'm not the only one who's hands ache during lifting!! ps. Pushup bars do help a lot...my wrists hurt too much without them.

RE: How can I improve Thanks for the advice! I'll try that. I did Muscle Max today (which I haven't done in a long time...still trying out the new DVD series). The same thing happened (especially during the chest flys w/15lb dumbells and the 40lb barbell row exercise, though I use two 20lb...
