    Another Sad Day - Update

    I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis since 1994 - My hands and wrists are really bad. My family says my hands could should be hired to work in a Haunted House! lol - that being said, I have decided that staying active is key. Also, lifting weights helps build bone density. I don't lift super heavy...

    Is Diet Pop REALLY that bad for you????

    Does anyone wear Mizunos for step and high impact?

    I wear the ASICs gel intensity 2 and they are fantastic for step and high impact. They have great lateral support but since they have more leather than mesh I feel there is a break in period. But worth it because I need excellent cushion and support for my feet in order to complete Cathe...

    The ASIC's thread

    Here is the thread http://cathe.com/forum/f97/finally-found-perfect-step-interval-training-shoes-292419/ I started this thread and was comparing the Asics Gel Intensity to the Ryka Endures. I can update that I now feel the Asics are a lot better for high impact and HiiT workouts than the...

    for those of you who do a lot of high impact

    Hmmmm this makes me think if I should modify my workouts I just started xtrain and also love the To the Max workout. When you say high impact do you mean step aerobics? I am so sorry to hear of your arthritis. I know how discouraging it is dealing with unhealthy joints and the impact on...

    Arnica Gel vs. Tiger Balm vs. Icy Hot Patches

    I use arnica and also another ointment called Penetrex. I got both on amazon. I have rheumatoid arthritis so I use this stuff a lot! But still pop the Motrin like today after gym style legs last night. Good luck!!!

    Finally found the perfect Step and interval training shoes

    Hy girls! I think I am loving the Ryka Endures a little more than my Asics Gel Intensity 2. Maybe when my Asics break in more I may change my mind. I'm grabbing another pair on amazon for $51 before they are gone. Have a great day!

    Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder = Awesome

    Hi girls! Just thought I would pass along a new food find that I am loving. I eat a lot of raw veggies and fruit and tons of green smoothies. I was looking for a way to add protein. However, most protein powders are filled with cr@p!!! I have used hemp protein in the past but stumbled upon...

    Boo Hiss: sweetened milk

    WOW ok now I'm ticked off again! I'm so sick of these corporations deciding what the American people need to know. I personally quit all diet sodas and artificial sweeteners years ago. I do not drink dairy milk. I either make my own nut milk or occasionally have coconut milk. How can the FDA...

    Portable meal and snack ideas?

    I bring a baby organic carrots, celery and sabra hummus single serving size to Disneyland with me. I just use a small blue ice in a ziplock and it keeps things cool. Apples are great too!

    Tapout XT

    I just purchased RushFit like an hour ago from amazon. I did the Hard Strikes DVD today and loved it so much I started searching for other MMA/boxing workout tapes and found RushFit. I cannot wait to incorporate it with Cathe tapes! Did I say I loved Hard Strikes!!! I was sweating buckets!

    Dehydrator, cant make good stuff

    I make tons of things in my dehydrator (especially when I was following the raw diet). Also use it a lot for backpacking foods. I dehydrate spaghetti sauce. It turns into leather and I throw it in a ziplock and it goes in our pack for a future dinner. I have also made raw corn chips (corn, red...
