Last spring my husband and I were sitting in the front yard with our dog, a Beagle mix. A woman was walking 2 Rottweilers down the road. She was all happy and smiley and her dogs started pulling her up through our yard with "kill" written all over their faces. I've been around dogs all my life...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-20-02 AT 03:12PM (Est)[p]I've had orthoics from the podiatrist for about six weeks. I have plantar fasciitis and I pronate. Not only did they help the foot pain but also hip and low back pain that I've had for a few years. It was well worth the $300.00 but it ended up being...

I have the same problem. It doesn't matter if I'm doing step, hi/lo, or cardio machines. I know exactly when 20 minutes have passed because that's when it starts. I changed the lacing pattern on my shoes and everything has been fine. Do an internet search on shoe lacing. I think I ended up at...

Thanks Thanks Jillybean! You made my week!!

Does anyone remember where Cathe got the music for CTX or what it is? I'm looking for music to make up my own routine while I rehab a bad knee. Thanks, Linda

Hi Kim, I remember reading that you teach or do Pilates. Do you do any work with the circle? If you sit on the floor, knees bent, feet on floor with the circle between your knees, you work the pelvic floor along with inner thighs. I feel this more than when I do Kegels. Maybe it would help. I've...

Congratulations on you fantastic weight loss. Doesn't it feel great? Many years ago I lost 107 pounds and have done a pretty good of keeping it off. My upper inner thighs went from flabby to tightening up but with excess skin. It was a nightmare. Thank goodness it didn't last! Strength training...

Hi Cathe, I've been diagnosed with Illiotibial Band Syndrome and have a list of do's and don'ts from the doctor. I need to strengthen the gluteus medius but I'm not sure exactly which exercises do that. I'm guessing leg abduction? Squats and lunges are out for awhile, along with all cardio...

I'm amazed. This is a stupid question I'm sure but is she doing Pilates with a straight back? Does she have any curve at all? She's a brave lady and you must be an extremely good instructor.

I have a friend that looks fantastic and she's never lifted a dumbbell or done a video. Last time I talked to her she'd never seen a video! She's a PE teacher. She's always done body weight exercises, she plays softball in summer, basketball in winter, she in-line skates or runs for the fun of...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-31-01 AT 06:56PM (Est)[p]I usually lurk but had to put in my 2 cents. I am a fit 50 year old, soon to be 51. I have been active for 30 years, exercising before it was the thing to do. I read Outsmarting the Midlife Fat Cell and any other book about menopause. I've been...

I feel your pain Hi Susan, I'm sorry you have a sciatica problem. When the doctor told me I had sciatica I yelled, "that's for old people and I'm not old." Apparently it hits anyone it wants. I've had it for about 3 years but I'm painfree at the moment. I got mine by picking up a dumbbell with...

Good question! I had the same problem and got so frustrated that I gave away my bike. The podiatrist treated me for inflamed nerves in the feet and strongly suggested I switch to New Balance shoes. When everything was back to normal I got another recumbent bike and it started all over again...

That's my favorite from CTX followed closely by everything else! Do you have a DVD player? If you do you can make it 20-20-20 by programming the sections to play twice or three times or even 4! Ok, I got a little carried away! Linda

My husband is an IT Specialist etc etc and the salesmen at Circuit City and Sears run and hide when they see him coming. We're on our 3rd or 4th DVD player because he upgrades every year. This year he actually listened to me and bought a model I had read about on a forum. Neither one of us could...

Maybe I'm the odd man out but we're trying to pay off the credit card and prefer to use checks when possible. Will there be a printable order form or are checks not taken for pre-orders? Or maybe I didn't read far enough because I was so excited about the prices? Thanks. Linda

This is my first post. I have all of Cathe's videos and previous DVD's and I was just thinking about the probable cost of all this. I've only had my 8 pack for a few months so I wasn't in on the pre-order. As for selling or keeping videos there's no question. I'm keeping! The DVD player is...

A big congrats to your daughter. When I was in my early 20's I lost 107 pounds in 13 months. My loose skin was mainly on the upper inner thighs and under the upper arms. This was back before Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons and aerobics and I'd never heard of dumbbells yet. The skin got worse as I...

I'm so excited I can't stand it. More DVD's! Thank you Cathe!
