Check the "Ask Cathe" forum. The Cathe roadtrip is "a go-go!" Patricia

Hi Joanna! I laughed at your closing line on the Ask Cathe page: "i'd rather get up from a weight bench leaving a sweat mark than get up from a couch leaving a trail of crumbs" Tocsa Reno Here's one I got off the "Go Fug Yourself" site. These two ladies are hilarious! "You two need...

Hi Amy! I read on the "We're filming again" that you're turning 50 in October. Me, too! My birthday's on October 5 (same day as my Mom). When's yours? Patricia

Hi! I'm 49, going on 50 in October. Being smack-dab in the middle of menopause (had it for last couple of years -- early bloomer!), I suffer from mood swings and hot-flashes galore. Just wanted to tell you about this great homeopathic supplement I found. It's called Sepia. I first heard...

Hi Cathe: I'm really interested in purchasing the High Step - Advanced DVD but I don't have the "High Step". It is not available in Canada, and the import taxes are astronomical. Plus I live in a small, one-bedroom apartment so space is extremely limited. My living room has become a gym and...

Hi, everybody: Doing all the stepping I do, I sometimes suffer from cramping and aching feet, particularly the toes area. It doesn't help that my feet are flat and wide, either! On a day-to-day basis (i.e. when not exercising), I always wear practical, comfortable footwear -- usually...

Hi guys! Do any of my fellow Canadians know where I can purchase "The Step" (the one which Cathe uses for step aerobics) in Canada, or Ontario? I have looked high and low for one but can't find anyone who sells them. I already have the Reebok step but I have discovered from my gym...

Hi everybody: I posted under another thread "Recommendations for DVD Player". (Yes, I'm finally going to buy a DVD player -- YIPPEE!! Scared to death of trying to hook it up though). Anyways, after some recommendations from my fellow Cathe-ites (thanks, guys!) and searching a couple of...

Hello All! Patricia from Toronto, Canada here! Well . . . after much hemming and hawing, I've decided to bite the bullet and buy a DVD player. Cathe's new Body Blast workouts have nuttin' to do with it (ya, right!) Do any of you who have DVD players have any recommendations? I think I'd...

Ahhhh! Now I know what y'all been talkin' about over the last few years re Reebok steps vs. "The Step". I have always recommended the Reebok to anyone that asked because I thought "The Step" was like the Bollinger step (bright green platform over pink risers, I think). I bought a Bollinger...

Hello! Patricia from Toronto here. Just wanted my fellow Canucks to know I found a great store for fitness equipment. It's a chain store called "The Fitness Source". Here in Toronto, there's one a few blocks north of the Eglington subway at Yonge and Glencairne. As soon as I walked in the...

Finally discovered the reason I kept this very large book gathering dust in my already crowded apartment all these years. I had ceased to look at it for eons but couldn't bear to throw it out. So, a little lightbulb went off in my head on Sunday and I took some duct tape, wrapped it around the...

people bring in Xmas goodies into work? Right now as we speak, there is a tin of homemade mocha Nanaimo bars and a large box of Lady Godiva chocolates on the kitchen table -- right next to my office cubicle!!!!! Every time I go in there I am soooo tempted to have a chocolate or bar. And the...

Hi Cathe and everyone else from this great website! Re the new videos, could you please tell me what size of stability ball I should buy? I'm only 5 ft. tall with short legs and suspect that the bigger balls will be too high for me. Thanks and have a great day! Patricia

Hi y'all! Here's one of my favorite quotes of all time (unfortunately, it contains the forbidden "b" word, but it's just not as funny without it): "Inside me, there's a thin woman crying to get out..... But I can usually shut the bitch up with Chocolate." Anyone care to share their favorite...

Hi everybody! This is my first "virginal" post (i.e. posting a new topic, not just responding to another one.) Oh, it's so EXCITING! Aren't you EXCITED, too? Did anyone watch "The View" on TV a few days ago and see the guy who's suing MacDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken for causing his...

Hi! Anybody know if there are any distributors of the Powerbelt in Canada -- ideally Toronto? US dollar exchange plus import taxes really impoverish we poor but adorable Canucks! Patricia

Just to let you fellow Torontonians know, you can get Ryka's Re-evolution and Stylus shoes at the SportChek store chain. They're about $109-$119 Can. Since SportChek is a pretty big chainstore, you can probably get Rykas elsewhere in Canada, as well. Thought I'd pass that along since Rykas are...

Hi everybody! Have any of you fitness buffs tried Tony Little's Gazelle Glider (I think it's also called Gazelle Platinum 2000). Does it give you a fairly-good aerobic workout? Just to give you my fitness history, I have for the last 3 or 4 years been an advanced hi-impact exerciser and have...

Hi educated crowd! Was watching The Shopping Channel (TSC) on the weekend and they featured the Total Gym Ultra (rolling platform, pulleys, choice of incline, etc.) It comes with three videos. It's selling for $298 Canadian (plus $51 S & H + tax -- gag me -- we're actually looking at about $400...
