    HELP!!! I wanna like step aerobics....

    When I come across a move that I don't pick up right away, I find it helpful to just remove the step and map out the steps on the floor. I remember having difficulty with the step-sweep move the first time I tried it, but when I removed the step and just walked through it, I realized it was just...

    March 07' Intermediate Rotation

    Bless you! I finished the Beginner Rotation in January and have been floundering ever since, trying to figure out what to do next. I'm so glad I found this today! Thank you!

    RE: Encouragement!!! Heather, I responded to this message a few days ago, but the post didn't show up for some reason. I'm reposting it here: --- Heather, thank you SO much. This was just what I needed to hear and know. I am so moved by your response, it brings me tears. I did Basic...

    Official Beginner Rotation Question

    Update: I did Basic Step last night without the risers. I realized that my confidence had been shot from using the risers last time, because I found it difficult to get started. Throughout the warm-up, I was afraid that I might just give up. But, I just tried to use some positive thinking, and...

    Official Beginner Rotation Question

    Hi Cathe. :) I am at the beginning of Week 3 of the Official Beginner Rotation. Thank you so much for posting it. I started out doing Basic Step using just the step with no risers. Then, as the routine got easier, I added in one set of risers. Big difference! At first, I just added them in...

    Can we talk about Woody Allen

    Woody Allen having an affair with his wife's adopted daughter did gross me out when I heard about it. Still does. But even if I didn't know about that, I wouldn't like Woody Allen's movies anyway. He likes to just stick a camera in one place in a room (or on a steadicam), do loooong takes...

    I got a step!

    Hi Diane! I love Low Max and Cardio and Weights. Imax2 is too advanced for me, I'm afraid. As far as learning step moves, Basic Step and Body Fusion is good, as well as Low Impact Circuit. I'm going to be sticking to those for a while, then go to Step Blast and Rhythmic Step, both of which are a...

    I got a step!

    I finally got a step. (I've been doing all my Cathe stuff on the floor). I just had to try it out this morning even though I wasn't planning to work out until after work. First thing I noticed - it felt really good on my lower back and my knees. I was not expecting that. I'm so happy. :)...

    Breathing during step aerobics

    Hi all. It's been awhile since I've posted. I got away from my Cathe workouts for about a month, and now I'm back. I'm hoping you fine, fit people :) can help me figure something out. I notice that when I'm doing, say, Step Blast, that I sometimes get a pain in my lower right lung - as if I'm...

    Any money advisors in the house?

    Thanks for your responses. :) Dave - No, I don't have any debt. Thankfully. 1hotbikerchick - Thanks for the info and the links. I will check them out. 9% interest would be nice. nnk - Am I willing to risk my money? That's a tough one. With my 401(k) I'm in the moderate-risk category...

    Any money advisors in the house?

    I have some money in a savings account with a 3.15% interest rate. I want to earn as much interest as I can, but still be able to access the money relatively easily, in case I need it for upcoming projects. I was thinking about putting part of it in a 2 year CD at a rate of 4.5% (I just...

    The <------ Thread

    The arrow is intended to point at someone's name, I think that's why you're confused. It makes more sense when you're Instant Messaging someone, because the arrow is pointing directly across at your name. <---did PUB yesterday and has sore biceps today. <---was able to do a pose in a Yoga...
