Hello all! I really love a circuit style workout, and was looking for a list of premixes that utilize this. I have many of Cathe's dvds and wondered if such a list existed (just trying to save time manually searching them one by one) Thanks!

I'm so glad this worked for you, Janie! We have an 8 yr. old Golden Retriever, and she was an aggressive puppy! We did the same training that Jonezie suggested and it worked for us too. It instantly changed her focus and she did indeed start licking instead. We praised her then and she'd run...

1. I'm back on the wagon after no wo's for a while--starting my 16 wk max. wt loss rot. 2. Weekend is here (don't work on Fridays!) 3. Third item is good news/bad news--Going on Cruise in Feb....to "celebrate" 50!!

My knees have other plans... Congrats to all of you who are able to increase the height of your steps for a tougher workout. I used to do that also, especially when I belonged to a gym (many moons ago). Now that I have older joints, if I raise it to more than 1 riser, my knees suffer...

Thanks, everyone for all these great suggestions. After reading what Consumer Reports had to say, I opted for the Hamilton Beach Brew Station! It will be interesting to try a non carafe coffeemaker for a change. I used a gift card, so if it really isn't my cup of tea (or coffee), no great...

Morning all! I'm off to shop for a new coffeemaker to replace my leaking Black & Decker spacemaker. I'm kind of leaning toward a Hamilton Beach 10 cup Stay or Go with thermal carafe and 2 travel mugs. My only hesitation is that we are used to a 12 cup capacity (although I know it's only...

Anyone else (not) celebrating a leap year birthday this year- or know of anyone else -besides me!! Happy Non Birthday to me !!! I'm only 12 1/4!! Doreen

I'm another big fan of Magic Erasers, so I checked re: their safety- Here's the link: www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/eraser.asp They work so well and I'm glad it's not true! Doreen

I don't do kettlebells, but whenever I lift, I wear an armband, specifically for tennis elbow. I had a bad bout last year, and this has helped, along with stretching frequently and watching my form. Doreen

Chipmunk in my dryer! 3 weeks ago I started my gas dryer and after about 3 minutes heard some scratching, like something noisy was in the dryer, maybe sneakers, which there wasn't. I started it again and determined it was something trying to run up the vent! I thought it was a mouse that had...

Oral Hygiene 101 (Forgive my soapbox lecture!) Keep flossing, everybody! I've spent 28 years as a dental hygienist and in our office we educate our patients about the two main causes of periodontal disease: smoking and diabetes. Some men that have served in Viet Nam are also afflicted...

I'll be on vaca. in July and will have an opportunity to both walk on deck (a cruise) and at ports. I'll also definitely take 2 or more step classes, and maybe a pilates or yoga class. I'm still up in the air on the spinning class (don't really want a sore bum on vacation!) I want to keep...

Yep! That's the one. I actually did that one for 12 weeks before tennis elbow reared its ugly head last April! I had slightly altered the original to exclude the running, as I am not a runner. I just added steady state cardio when a steady state run was stated. I used an Imax when a...
