Cathe Quoted on CNN.com

Hi Cathe,

I was pleasantly surprised to read this article and see your name as one of the health and fitness experts quoted in this article on CNN.

Your idea for using a stability ball at work is an excellent suggestion. I've been using one for about 6 months and I love it. It's definitely helped me maintain better posture (I'm a huge sloucher) and it certainly helps keep my core firing all day. I usually switch the ball with my chair every few hours. My co-workers thought sitting on a huge inflatable ball was a little odd at first, but they are used to it now.

Happy New Year

Sherry,
I see you're addressing this to Cathe.
She doesn't necessarily check out OD all the time.
You might want to post in "Ask Cathe" to make sure she sees it (I know it's not a question, but not all posts are).

Thanks for the heads up!

Hi Sherry! Thanks so much for letting me know. I did this a few weeks ago and they said they would let me know when they released it but I still haven't heard anything from them directly, so again, thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Happy 09'

Used one for years!

I've used a stability ball as a chair at my office for years. People always comment about it, so I tell them that it keeps me from falling asleep at my desk (because I'd end up on the floor if I did!) ...

And speaking of media attention, there was a picture of Cathe's weighted ball/kettlebell in a recent magazine article (probably Shape; maybe Self ... I'll look for it). You could clearly see Cathe's name on the ball!

Congrats to Cathe!
