Thank you Kathryn :-) Take care, Iris

Hi all, It's been quite a while since I've visited our forum and am now able (on doctor's orders) to get into shape - slowly - yeah right - LOL. My question is the following: I was watching Cathe this morning on FitTV and saw her Stretch Max 3 workout with the bands. Is this a seperate...

I agree with Jes - I did a faux finish on my wall in the livingroom and one wall in the diningroom - gorgeous!! I used as a base color: Behr Premium Plus - Satin Finish - String of Pearls, and then used a taupe color mixed with glaze. I used a sea sponge to get the faux effect and am very...

Hi, I also worked out with Joyce's tapes, but found her form to be horrible. Speed is one thing, but you can seriously hurt yourself. Not to mention that her tapes are expensive!! After finding Cathe, I haven't returned to Joyce. And yes, she most definately had surgery!

Hi Stacy and Denise - thank you very much for your responses. This has definately put a different spin on what I've been told by the medical community. I do miss not doing all of Cathe's workouts, but I will definately give it a shot. If I am being honest, if there was a way that I could...

Debbie - CONGRATULATIONS! I know what you mean girl, we have another addition - Benjamin made his appearance last July and he's a total doll and with me being home for almost a year I've enjoyed him so very much. Thanks so much for responding. It feels so good that I haven't been forgotten...

Hi Cathe - thank you so much for responding. My knee problems are a result of many factors - I played volleyball throughout high school, several falls and arthritis. My doctor says I can pretty much return to working out as long as it's not full impact - like stepping, running, etc. What's a...

Hi Cathe! I'm such a fan - have been doing your workouts for about 5 years or so. My concern is my knees. I've had two arthroscopic surgeries on my right knee, the left knee is now also hurting, but not as much. Guess it's calling to me since I'm over compensating for the right knee. How...

Hi Ruth and Clare - so good to be back again! Indulge me for a moment, please. Regarding working out again - DOMS - ouch! It's my lower body. Because of my knees - specifically the right one, my doctor has eliminated lunges, squats or anything that will put pressure on my knees. So my...

52 until August. Have been working out for about 20 years or so - but totally got into it with Cathe. I personally know women younger than I that have never worked out and have aches and pains that you wouldn't imagine. I guess, women today take care of themselves way better than women of my...

Hi all!! It's been quite a while since I've been here with all of you! Those of you that remember me, i'm Iris from NY. KathyH, Gretsky, Susan, and Nancy know me well and we met through this great forum. It's been quite a long journey since my last post, and now I have to start from...
