and I'm back teaching!! Hi everyone, it's me, Myra a ghost from the past! I thought I'd introduce myself to those who don't know me and say to those that have been around for awhile... Josephina Marie (Nina) was born at 37 weeks on November 13, and weighed 5lbs. 7oz. I went into...

Hi Everyone! It's me, Myra, the over-training group fitness instructor turned baby-machine! I've been so busy with my family and more specifically an active 14 month old (which some of you may remember I endured 9 years of secondary infertility) and when she (Kyrstiana) was 7 months old, I had...

REAR! Right after my 3rd month and since then, I've had this pain in my coccyx (sp?) bone area...my OB says it's most likely the baby laying on nerves and my childbirth class instructor/nurse says it could be from teaching Step still. I really don't want to believe the latter only because...

Hi all! I've just had the 4th U/S (the 3rd U/S the baby's position was breech and legs were crossed) and we determined the baby's sex organs to be the labia(sp?) and there was no penis in sight or it was very well hidden! At first when she scanned, there was a little white line and something in...

received a 2nd ultrasound to determine gender? I had my 1st 20 week u/s and the baby's legs were crossed so I couldn't find out. With my 1st baby, 9 years ago, I didn't care to know but this time I feel like things are so crucial that if I don't find out, it'll kill me! So I went ahead and...

That is, when she had baby Kyle? Sounds like all went well and I'm glad she's doing well. I've got 15 weeks still...ho hum... Myra :D

maternity workout shirts? I'm for some cute things to teach my cardio class...I particularly like the red one you had on in the VF 1999 trip. It seems as though no other instructor around here is "daring" enough to wear sleeveless shirts while PG, so I just see them in big baggy T-Shirts. I'm...

I'd like to use this method but can't afford to go to the classes ($180 and travelling an hour and a half away) so I've checked out all the books and have several handouts from the classes from a friend and now I'm in the process of getting the workbook and working a plan with an instructor...

This is my 2nd pregnancy and I didn't have this nagging back pain with my first (I'm 16 weeks)...does this mean I'll experience back labor? I don't even have a belly yet, I've only gained 7 pounds so far and I feel it's all in my lumbar spine! I thought I was in better shape in this pregnancy...

HERE!!!! Offically 7 weeks pregnant, thanks to my reproductive endocrinologist, and the drugs Glucophage (I'm insulin-resistant; pre Type-2 Diabetic) and Clomid, 50mgs!!! We had the first transvaginal U/S and we seen the heartbeat and everything looks good, but the exciting thing is that there's...

I'm a tad confused...there is a recommendation that in order to burn fat, aerobic exercise is to longer than 20 min, and if done longer, say 30-40 mins, would be a greater benefit. Let's say I did a video in which the warm-up that was 10 minutes long, then did 30 minutes cardio, then 5 min...

Hi Cathe! My goal is to maintain the muscle I have now (thanks to teaching BodyPUMP) and I DO NOT want to build more. I have short legs and I'm overall petite and I feel if I get any bigger I'd look to bulky! However, since I ordered these and I'm not much of a HEAVY lifter, I know it's great...

Since I'm getting ready to start my secondary infertility treatment (Clomid 50mg) in a few weeks, I've been told I have a high chance at having multiples (I have 14 eggs total in my ovaries!) so I've been preparing and just wondered if anyone here has and could share your experience with me :D...

Hi All! I'm not PG yet, but this next cycle I start taking Clomid to help battle my ovulating problem that I didn't know I had the last 5 years!! Thank goodness for the only Reproductive Endocrinologist here in Nevada! I have an 8 year old now, but I was SOOO young and didn't pay attention to...

Hello Cathe! Not that I'd ever stop using your videos, but I know you've most likely trained in the gym using whatever machines/equipment that have developed your lats/back and shoulders. What were they?? You mentioned in a previous post that you concentrate on these areas as they help create...

Hello Cathe! I have just completed 5 of your 6-pack CRX, all today, and I cannot tell you enough of how much you are inspiration to me! It is a goal of mine to be as fit as I can be (it's an instuctor thing, I guess) both physically and nutritionally. I've been working with an RD for my...

have a whole two days to themselves, no hubby, no kids, no teaching classes, absolutely no obligations whatsover, but has a 1 gallon bucket of vanilla ice cream, heavenly carmel sauce and a Nestle Crunch White bar calling out her name from the fridge?? Well, call me an exercise fiend, but to...

Hello Cathe! I have an instructor-to-instructor type of question... Do you have your "own" workout on the days you teach BodyPUMP? Or does that "count" as your workout? Do you comsume more food on days that you would "double teach"? For example when you teach a BP class in the AM and if you...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-20-01 AT 10:42PM (Est)[p]Hi Cathe! I'm looking forward to pre-ordering your 2 new videos, Rhythmic Step & Power Hour. Could you please clarify why those 2 won't be offered a discounted price? I'm plannng to order both, so would that be $10 shipping or $6, the same for 2...

I cannot believe how sore my calves are after doing the whole video last night...I can definetly tell I need some cross-training as a group fitness instructor! Besides walking & hi/lo aero, what other cardio activites have help you guys with working out the lower extremities? Is the stationary...
