arch problems Hi Amy, I just wanted to add that I had the same problem a few years ago and the doctor said a stress fracture can also cause these symptoms. Luckily, I didn't have one. What I found that worked was using those over the counter ankle supports with the heel part pulled a little...

back advice Along with the others advice, I would suggest strengthening your abs as much as possible. I have alot of back pain and have found that doing alot of ab work helps me keep my form while lifting weights. I agree that you may be using too much weight. Laura

Hi Bradley Great to have you here. I agree with Elizabeth, it's nice to have a male perspective on things. I hope you enjoy this site as much as I have. Laura

Hi Tracy In addition to what the others said, I have had trouble with my left knee in the past that still bothers me sometimes. Mine started when I was a teenager and they kept saying it was growing pains, but it just kept getting worse. In my case, it was the ligament on the outside of my...

Cathe, what if... you either just let someone watch the filming of the video or you could have a person doing it for the first time in the video just like we at home would be doing it for the first time and that lucky person could show how to modify the moves until you get the routine down. And...

Thanks Tammy You just saved me alot of money also. I've been wanting to buy one of these and luckily have not been able to find one in my price rage. Now, I won't even bother. Yes! More videos Laura

Me too! I watched the afternoon class. That was so much fun. The sound was very good on mine, but the picture wasn't as good as the netscape version. Anyone else have this problem? Laura

Hi Di I have several CIA tapes. CIA 9801 with Christi Taylor has a hi/lo workout and a step workout. Both are very challenging with complex choreography. I really like both of these workouts. CIA 9905 also has a hi/lo and a step workout. This is about the same in difficulty as 9801, but has...

Ok, I wouldn't normally do this, but I'm desperate. Would anyone be willing to buy me a step at Sam's Club and send it to me? I would send you the money before you ship (of course). We even joined Sam's Club but ours doesn't have any. I now have the old Jane Fonda step and it's just too...

Hi Stevie Sorry, I don't have any experience with pilates. In fact, I doubt I have any more qualifications than most people here, maybe even less. But I am good at motivating and I do have a unique perspective on becoming fit with a chronic illness. I just want to offer my support to anyone...

thanks Cathe I will definitely be able to sleep in now! I'm lucky enough to be in the 3 times a week category. Laura

Hi Emily I knew that was what you meant. I'm not vegan either. I never even attempted that because I like eggs and especially cheese. I just couldn't live without my pizza And it definitely takes some work to make sure you're getting everything you need. I'm sorry you had a bad experience...

Hi everyone, I don't know how many of you have seen the mentor program on video fitness. Well, I would like to know if anyone here would be interested in me mentoring them. If you are, you can either e-mail me or go to http://www.videofitness.com and read my experience with exercise. I'm...

Hi Jul What a great question. I've been wondering the same thing. It does feel like they're our friends. At least it's better than sitting on the couch watching soaps (although I have to admit, I sometimes do that too) Laura

Hi Debbie That is amazing! I just bought one at Big 5 for $50 and I thought that was good, considering I've seen it for $80. Unfortunately, we belong to Costco and I can never find any of the good exercise equipment there. Laura

What a great idea! That would be so cool! But, we'd have to promise to not be jealous of whoever Cathe picks Laura

Hi Susan I wish I knew! It is frustrating, isn't it? I've tried Gas X in the past and that seemed to help, but it's only temporary and you can't take that all the time. I have noticed when I do more lower body ab work, specifically where you raise your pelvis with your feet in the air, like...

Hi Lynne In addition to Emily's excellent advice I would add that (if you haven't done so already) get a medical evaluation. Sometimes medical problems such as low functioning thyroid can cause what you are experiencing. I would also add that you do not need to eat fish, chicken or meat to...

Hi Paula Thought I'd give you my experience with this. I've had the same problem and thought it was just fat I couldn't get rid of. But when I had a CAT scan, they told me I had absolutely no fat in my abdomen and that bloating and fluid retention can cause this. And, yes, if that's what it...

So glad we helped Like Honeybunch, I had no support or even any awareness what it was when I was going through my eating disorder. I am so glad things are better. Just remember, this is only the beginning and if you need more support, we are here for you. And give yourself credit for being a...
