I'm so sad that no one yet has suggested to go to my neck of the woods. I'm from southern Oregon. Down there is the beautiful Crater Lake. The deepest natural lake in the world. A little farther south, actually in northern California, just on the other side of Klamath Falls (my home town)...

I'm a lurker here in the forums. But I identify with so many things said in this thread that I had to post. I have made it through the entire STS (weight) program once but have started it many times. In the past, I've had a very hard time getting past meso1. I don't know what it is about the...

This is a great idea. I tend to check Facebook more than the Cathe forums so I'd love to have you all as FB friends. I sent out many requests. Here's my profile if I missed you. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/profile.php?id=1309434621 Aimee

We have the perfect pull up bar. Bought it at WalMart. Here's a link to see the pictures. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10770120 As you can see, you can do pull ups from many different angles with the bar because it screws into the frame and can swivel up and down. I...

Good morning everyone. I just finished Step Blast recorded from FitTV. I've recorded several of Cathe's workouts from FitTV and all it does is make me want to buy the full workout. The commercials make me crazy:mad: I think I've missed a few days posting. Wednesday I took a rest day...

Good morning everyone. Just got done with IMAX2. Why does Cathe like to jump so much:) My legs must be getting stronger though because I'm keeping up with the blasts more than I could about a year ago. Have a great day:cool: Aimee

Hi everyone. Lori - I love that. "Cable news yoga!" I'm not much into yoga or cable news so I don't ever see myself putting those all together:p I did Low Max yesterday morning before all of the party preparations. DDs birthday part was great. It's the first big party we've ever had for...

Hi everyone, I thought I only missed one day of checking in but it seems like I missed a lot of happenings with everyone:( Welcome to Jessica and Brandi. Good luck with your test Wendy (I hated anatomy). Wow, Karen. 10 miles! I jogged/walked 1 mile yesterday and complained the whole...

Good morning everyone. Today did PUB weights only and PLB floor work. I've never really followed a rotation so I decided I'd try for FitnessFreaks lower body rotation she just posted. I'm sort of going backwards through the week from day 6 to day 1 but I don't think that matters as long as I...

Good morning everyone. Just got done doing KPC from FitTV. The workout is cut down quite a bit for TV but I still got in about a 45 min workout. I can tell it's pretty short since the workout manager says I should burn about 900cal but my HR monitor said I burned 400cal. Maybe I should buy...

Happy Labor Day everyone. Since dh has the day off, I took advantage of him being home and slept in a little. So I just got done doing Low Impact Circuit. Yesterday I worked on my 1RMs for back and triceps. That in itself is quite a workout:) My goal for the rest of the day is to keep my...

Hey, I found it:eek: First day of our homeschoolers check-in. I wanted to share with you all that I made all 6 of my scheduled workouts this week!! Usually I plan for six but end up with four or five. Things just come up that interfere with exercising (usually it's sleep;)). Today I did...

Wow. This is the perfect thread for me. I'm just finishing up a third or fourth cookie (who keeps track anyway) and thinking "why do I do this to myself?" I love everyone's responses. I find it especially hard when I'm at home with my kids. For some reason, being surrounded by easily...

Let me preface this with the fact that I am not a runner. So, my settings are usually around 6's. I walk for about 4.2 MPH as my baseline. When the challenge is a level three hill, I increase to 6%. Sometimes I go up to 7% or 8% but I start at 6% to see how I feel. The sprints for me are...

I also grew up flying all over the world but suddenly had a panic attack very close to a flight I was going to take (not actually on the plane but a few days before). Since then I had a huge phobia of planes. My issue was claustrophobia. I found a fear of flying class. It was held for two...
