A richochet is like a 2 repeater and a long hop turn is just a single knee with propulsion. Depending on the combo -- you could simply modify those moves without going over or across the step.

I was just a kid when I watched Richard Simmond's show on TV -- and the 20 minute workout -- I had that routine memorized because it was the same workout each time. I followed Charlene Prickett's "It Figures" show religiously throughout 8th grade. My first fitness video was also Cher...

I am in Seattle and I got my DVD's today -- absolutely amazing! That is the quickest I have received a presale order once the shipping began... Thanks!! :0)

I am going to an all-day TRX training in a couple weeks, then I will be able to teach classes with TRX. I LOVE it. Very functional, lots of core recruitment... FUN FUN!

My step mishap -- this has happened more than once... My cat used to hide under my step, between the stacks of risers. He was safe as long as he didn't move... but if he was unfortunate to stick out his head, tail or foot, it would get stepped on. Now I always check my step for cats and shut...

Thanks so much -- I had been forgetting it's my birthday all day.

I am 5'6" and a small frame as well. If you work out, you will have more muscle on your body than you probably did in high school, so a healthy weight might be considerably more than 125-130 pounds. You will know when you are at the perfect weight when your clothes fit well, you look toned and...

As I am checking out labels and reading more into the products I buy -- I'm realizing that we are putting our trust and faith into these food manufacturers who are not in it to make us healthier -- but to make $$. Are the nutrition labels on these products accurate? Probably not. I'm putting...

Thanks for all the info! Wow, you ARE the educated crowd! I'll do some reading and some sampling and we'll see how it goes! Here's to a healthier day for us all! :0) Charlene

I am starting to research celiac disease and the effects of gluten on the GI tract and also how it relates to ADHD and autism. I have thought for years that my daughter showed signs of autism, but her doctor will always come just short of officially diagnosing her and saying she'll catch up with...

I have some extra energy today too -- is it the water?? I did MMA Fusion twice through and some elliptical -- but I'm really excited that I have the energy to CLEAN MY HOUSE TODAY!!!

I have a running "on" season and an "off" season. I use my off season to build up more muscle with programs like STS and more focused weight training. When I'm in my on season, I can maintain the definition, but I focus more of my energy on running and I lean out a bit. I don't think I would...

I had to wait until I got home from work -- but I just ordered mine -- just DVD's... I'm old school! :0)

For my first marathon, I followed the training program in the book "The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer" by David Whitsett et al. That was a 16 week program with running 4x week (one long run a week). My longest run was 20 miles. This time around, I started with that same framework, but I...

Hi there -- I haven't posted in a long time... I haven't even blogged in months... I wanted to let all the Cathletes know I finished my 2nd marathon yesterday. I copied my post from Facebook and posted it here for y'all! Love ya! :0) **** So I did it folks! The first marathon wasn't just...

13 mile "taper" run -- need to rest up for the Rock and Roll Seattle Marathon next Saturday. Yoga tonight. Bliss!

I have a lot of peach fuzz facial hair too -- and I've heard about it coming about when your body fat is too low (it's actually a symptom of anorexia). But my body fat is not too low by any means, so I am too wondering if it's peri-menopause (I'm 36). I don't mind it so much except that when I...

My mom's comments to me are very similar... she says she's afraid my heart will explode. And then she smokes, sits on my couch and eats pastries... Just let it roll off... That's what I do. Otherwise, I'd be plum CRAZY!

Congrats to you -- running a marathon is one of those things only a small fraction of the population ever sets out to do -- so you are literally one in a million!!! I'm running my 2nd marathon in 6 weeks -- be careful... these things can be addictive!!!

I went a little nuts -- I have been on the fence with Kelly for awhile. I have Netflix'ed a few workouts and they were good -- I just haven't made the plunge... until now... I pre-ordered both new workouts -- plus all the workouts she had on sale for $14.99. :) Hee-hee! I have lots of fun...
