I purchase some Energy Bars off the Web. I got hooked on them at the gym and the owner quit carrying chocolate, my favorite flavor. So I buy them myself now. In my recent shipment, the labeling had changed but the bar looked/tasted the same. The difference? THE CALORIE CONTENT HAD GONE UP...

Have you ever experience stress incontinence? What age did it start? Can anything be done to cure it? 10,000 kegels maybe?

I've been clinically depressed for several months. Antidepressants are not helping although my doc has switched them around a few times. I'm looking for an article or book that outlines exactly HOW MUCH and at WHAT INTENSITY you should exercise to see noticeable improvements in depression. I...

I've had a broken L5 vertebrae for a couple years now. Yesterday I had new x-rays taken that show it has slipped out of place to a "grade 2" on a scale of 1-5. It's thought to be a birth defect, but it only causes symptoms in serious Athletes, Gymnasts, Bodybuilders, Dancers, Aerobics...

Does anyone know where you can get 12-lb dumbbells? We have a Sports Authority in town and they look at me like i have something hanging out of my nose when I asked for 12-lb.... I've been making do by holding my 10-lbs plus a 2-lb, but I rather get the real thing. Can you imagine a shipping...

Cinza or anyone who does Pilates will appreciate this . . . I had a lady come to my Pilates mat class because she heard it was good for spinal flexibility. "Great, you're in the right place," I thought. So before class I was trying to find out about her injuries/limitations since we had never...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-07-01 AT 08:55PM (Est)[p]Another gym in my small town has offered me a couple of classes a week . . . prime slots, Monday and Wednesday evenings. This gym is 2-3 miles away from my current workplace. They cater to somewhat different clientele, though. Gym #1 knows that I...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-25-01 AT 01:42PM (Est)[p]LAST EDITED ON Sep-25-01 AT 01:01 PM (Est) My morning Pilates mat classes are actually catching on at the gym!! I'm even beginning to enjoy teaching them myself. There are a handful of new members that do nothing but Pilates and walking and running...

I've been a Cathe step fan, kinda like that song, "I was country when country wasn't cool." I've got virtually all of the step tapes, but nothing else of her's. I'm considering buying the slow and heavy series, but I wanted some opinions first. I am a trainer, former bodybuilder, and I want...

Has anyone used "enleve" hair remover that says "You'll never have to shave again."??????????? I think the older I get, the faster the hair on my legs grows. Sometimes I shave them in the morning and at night.

I LOVE your step tapes and frequently recommend them to my clients to use when they can't make it to the gym. Your combos have come to my rescue many days when my brain is fried! Keep up the good work. Last year, I got into competitive, all-natural bodybuilding. In most of the articles I've...

Help!! I had a big weight gain (30 lbs) in a short period of time last fall. I'm still not a huge person, but I was concerned so I went to my obgyn who sent me to an endocrinioligist. He has done a bunch of hormone, thyroid, cortizone tests and they are all normal. So today he sent me for a...

I'm strongly considering resigning from the coordinator part of my job and just teaching classes only. This will be at the same gym I'm at now. I don't feel like management gives me any support. No one from the management staff or training staff ever attends classes, so when a new member...

I usually host 2-4 instructor workshops at my gym each year, mainly as a way to keep up my CEU's. Most presenters let the host attend free in exchange for the legwork of mailing out fliers, setting up the room, getting refreshments, etc. If you teach any workshop that is approved for AFAA or...

I'm looking for gently used equipment for my aerobics studio. I generally purchase the stuff myself rather than hear my boss say "NO" so cheap is a real good word. Here's some of the stuff on my wish list if you guys hear of a gym going out of business. 10 yoga sticky mats medium sized...

Do any of you know any cruise lines, hotels, resorts, etc. that would let you teach fitness classes in exchange for a rate reduction on your vacation? I've heard rumors that this happens, but when I approached the cruise line we're going on this summer, they didn't seem to think that this...

I love Cathe videos! I just discovered this site! My gym's owner has asked me to start teaching mat Pilates classes. I took the Initiation 101 training from the PhysicalMind Institute and enjoyed it. However, the "classes" seem very generic even though it is a great core workout. I have a...
