Hi Cathe, Question/Help/Advice. I've been buying your videos -- have pretty much all of them and have STS preordered -- for years. I always LOVED that you seemed to use heavy weight, particularly in comparison to some of those other workout gals out there. It really made me a fan...

To echo almost everyone -- start easy. Run at a speed where you can comfortably say a couple of words, not speak complete sentences or anything, but talk. Tim Galloway has written some books on the run/walk method and many people have found that a very helpful way to build into longer run...

I am not sure what my question is, but my situation is I am about 20 pounds overweight. I workout 6 days a week. I am training for a marathon, so I run 4 days a week. I teach a weight lifting class and lift a total of about 2 hours a week. I bike only once a week. I take a day off. I am...

I love the idea of a cycling video. I always used Spinervals for cycling videos. They have a 3 hour tape which is a heck of a way to spend a cold winter Sunday morning on your bike... I recommend inviting a friend (or two) to bring a bike(s) and trainer(s) if you can to make the time go faster...

Thanks! I'll check it on some other players and see what's up! Zoelda

I just tried to use the Workout Blender on the Timesaver DVD and it does not work. It stutters and goes in and out almost like when the satellite dish goes out during a storm or something. It pixillates and stutters and comes back and then stops. I have not used this feature before, and...

Thanks so much to both of you for responding... I REALLY REALLY appreciate the kind words and support. No plans to induce early. I am hoping to be able to give birth (as we did with first child) with our midwife at the birthing center. I am scared that I won't be able to do it but I am...

I just need to hear some words of encouragement. I am 31 weeks and cannot freaking move. No, not because I'm on bed rest, but because I literally just can't move. I entered this pregnancy in the best shape I've ever been in, and -- you would never guess as I can't even walk from one end of...

Thank you so, so much for your email. I will definitely check out the book! I was reluctant to see someone about meds (I have had to be on them in the past) because I keep thinking by the time they take effect I'll have to stop taking them because hopefully I'll be healthy (physically) and we...

Sandra, Thanks so much for the kind words. I hope you are recovering well, and I am sorry to hear about your loss. Anger is definitely a problem. Rage would be more accurate description. I thought it was just my typical response... more to things being out of my control than WHAT was...

Long story short. I was pregnant with twins. One did not have a heartbeat at 9 weeks. The other just did at about 13 weeks. I started bleeding, had an ultrasound and had to have a suction currettage all within 48 hours last week. I thought I was "cool" with the whole thing... or as cool as...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU... I JUST GLANCED AT THE PAGE, AND THIS LOOKS LIKE EXACTLY WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR!!!!!!! Whoops... this is in response to Fitmaternity.com site! THANK YOU! Zoelda

Just one of those belts -- the mall maternity shop had them, and I've seen them online. It compresses things, lifts belly a bit. I haven't tried it -- just bought one so far! Zoelda

Mothers Maternity -- was there -- they were the ones with the shorts I was making fun of! Road Runner -- I order from them regularly, but they do not do anything for maternity bottoms. The t-shirt, bra and shoe thing -- I'm fine there. Just want something better for my belly...

ARGH... all I want are some nice supportive lycra/spandex shorts or some running shorts, and I found one site (mothers in motion) but you can't return their stuff and they are revamping the line so they and a lot of places that carried their stuff do NOT even have the stuff in stock. I went to...

I definitely notice more sweat... and I sweat a lot anyways! Thanks for the reassurances... it is very disconcerting to suddenly NOT be able to do things that one has worked hard to be able to do. I don't mean reaching a new fitness goal... I mean doing the usual fitness routine...

Wow! Thanks for the response! I have noticed that my water intake has doubled, and, since my road bike can only support 2 water bottle cages, I bought one of those special cages for triathlons that mounts on the seatpost to carry another two... cause I am going through a LOT of water. I...

Hi all, I'm pregnant -- about 5 weeks -- second pregnancy. I am really freaked out though as I seem to be having trouble w/running already. I have gone from being someone who regularly runs 35 or more miles a week, one run being at least 13 miles and was just starting to up mileage again...

Hi there, Question for everyone. How safe is running when you are pregnant? We are thinking of starting to try and get pregnant again, and I have been training for/running marathons the past 3 years, biking too -- have done half-ironman events. If we are lucky... I would be pregnant by...

RE: Debbie's said it! Thanks so much to both of you for the words of encouragement! They are definitely appreciated. I'm trying to be thankful for what I can do rather than angry about what I can't manage to do. It's definitely a journey... and it's not always a linear one. When I'm...
