My left knee makes a terrible, ratcheting sound when climbing steps. I don't notice it during walking, and it doesn't cause me pain, but I can hardly stand the sound of it when I go up steps. I just wondered if it is a sign of arthritis, or if I should get it checked out. My mother seems to...

works! Thanks guys, the yoga mat did the trick! In fact, I cut it so I have one section for my regular step and one for the high step. Love the new floor - it's sooo much better than working out on carpet. Just have to get used to hearing my steps - or turn up the stereo

I just replaced my living room carpet with laminate flooring - it is great for aerobics, except now my step slides gradually throughout the workout. It is especially bad when doing lunges onto the step. Has anyone else had this problem, and what might you recommend - pads on the bottom of the...

Great! Thanks so much!

What if we pre-ordered our Shock Cardio back in March? Are we still eligible for the free downloads? TIA

While I don't have any pain, yesterday while doing squats & lunges my right knee would "click" every time I did the upward movement. My alignment was fine (knees not over my toes), the same I've always done them. I'm suspecting maybe signs of arthritis, but maybe I'm wrong. I wonder if anyone...

Hi, I am trying to set up my business as a personal trainer, and am wondering what is the best way to go - LLC or sole proprietorship? I will mainly be training in client's homes and have access to our local community center. Also, do you need a tax ID and charge sales tax? Any help is...

Congrats!! Who is your certification through? I took my AFAA exam a few weeks ago, but was told I wouldn't get my results for awhile :-(

I've been considering either certification through ACE or AFAA to become a personal trainer. I just found out that AFAA will be doing a workshop just 15 miles from my home next month (7 weeks from yesterday). If I order the book now, will that be enough time to prepare? It would definitely...

Yes, I need to dog-proof my house. Either that, or teach them to work out with Cathe, too :7 Can I get a replacement case for the power hour DVD? Or even just the paper insert? Fortunately, they did not ruin the DVD. BTW, one of my cats loves to paw at the screen and tries to get Cathe...

Hi, Can stability balls be patched, say like a bicycle tire? My dogs decided to play with mine, and put a tiny hole in it. Any ideas or experience with something like this? TIA

Thank you all for your great words of encouragement! I have been talking to my family, and I have their support as well. Looks like I'd better get busy . . . Thanks again!

Hi, I have been an electrical engineer for over 20 years and let's just face it - I'm tired of it. I've had several people tell me I would be great as a personal trainer. I've lost over 45 pounds, exercise regularly and eat a clean diet. I've been told I am an inspiration to others to get...

Hi Christine, This is off topic, but I had to comment on your dog graphic - I just adopted 2 rescue Berners, and just love them to pieces! The first time Molly finally wagged her tail brought tears to my eyes, I was so happy. So your icon made me smile. Just thought I'd share.

Hi Cathe! Great - thanks!! I can do an hour easily. It gets tough to fit the longer ones in. Although when I'm running extra late DH will make dinner:7 Can't wait!

Hi Cathe, Thanks for the update on the STS presale + scheduling. Now that we know the 3 x's per week committment, how much time is spent during each session? TIA,

Now THAT'S customer service! Not only does she write, produce & star in her DVD's, she helps ship them out! Kudos to the best!

> my doctor put me on an anti-inflammatory for a full month and PT. I'm on an AI for a full week, then as needed. Rest & ice of course. What kind of PT? I am doing some stretches and will add some more outer thigh work later, but may ask my chiro if ultrasound would be a good thing.

> and for your next 5K (or 10K!) you can prepare better(rather than running 'occasionally' ;-) ) Yes, I guess just running twice a week for a couple weeks before wasn't enough. IF I do another one, could you recommend how long I should prepare? TIA,
