Hi Cathe, I would love to see spinning workout for one of the Cathe Live workouts !!! Thanks, Lauren

Thanks for this thread! I listen to podcasts all the time but haven't found many that I love. Sounds like there are several that are poplular with many people that I haven't tried yet. I LOVE The Moth which is true stories told to a live audience and recorded. They are usually very...

Hi, The 220 minus your age thing is really just a guide. If this type of training interests you, you should take your resting heartrate for a few mornings before you get up and use a chart that shows you how to calculate your target using your resting rate (you can also use max rate, but I...

Thanks for the feedback on the "white is white" thing. I'm planning to go next week. I haven't eaten there. I'll try it this time. I completely understand your Ikea love affair. I love googling pictures of Ikea rooms and looking at the Ikea Hackers website. I was planning to do 2...

Thanks for your reply. You did give me comfort. I have been through the show room, but the two types (Billy vs Expedit) are in different rooms and I can't tell if the colors are the same. Based on what you've said, I think I'm obsessing and need to chill out. I am a new Ikea convert. I...

Sorry to post something so completely off topic, but I'm desperate. I bought some white Expedit bookcases from Ikea for my daughters' rooms (absolutely love them, by the way). I want to also buy a bookcase from the Billy group (in white) for their rooms. Can anyone tell me if the whites...

I've got a 7'10" ceiling. Do you think it's tall enough to do the 2" blocks ??? I'm only 5'3" but I use a 10" step to do step aerobics. I'm not going to put a ceiling fan in the middle of the room (I'm putting a hook for the TRX). How tall are your ceilings Julie and Pussycat ???

Just to be sure . . . the Springstep IV is what I am doing because it is easily moved. But it is the same product as the Springstep II . . . right ? (it's just tounge and groove verses screw together . . . right ?)

Julie, I just followed your link to the laminate . . . did you do the Nostalgic Pine color that the link goes to or is that the main color that just comes up ? How do you like the color you chose ? Lauren

Thanks for all the posts. I was getting vinyl and laminate mixed up. Wow, laminate on top of subfloor on top of 2 inch foam. That will add some height.

Thanks for the replies. I called back this morning and talked to a rep (Karen x 118) that and she cleared up my confusion. I think I had just talked to the receptionist. My room is 15 X 15 and I am going to get the Stage Step IV which is the tounge and groove plywood that fits together...

I am finally getting to put in a "real" aerobic floor in the gym in my new house (I've been on very thick puzzle mats for the past 10 years). I called Stage step and the woman completely confused me. I will be installing on a concrete floor. I thought the best product for high impact was a...

Thanks Katie. Seems to jive with other information I've collected.

It looks like we are moving there and I just wanted to get some basic information. My husband grew up there and his parents are still there but I want opinions on schools and living areas from someone outside the family. Thanks, Lauren

I was shocked also but then a friend of mine reminded me of the Jon Binet Ramsey case where everyone thought for sure the mother did it and years later (after she died) it was proven that it couldn't have been her. Hopefully the justice system worked and the real killer will be found. (But...
