Good Morning.... Does anyone know of a website that offers the ability to calculate the total caloric content of a recipe? One where I could enter the individual ingredients to get the total number of calories. Thanks in advance, Debbie Russo

Add me to the list; I think it is because we crave anything fitness related. And yes, I agree, the bodies are amazing to ogle. But doesn't it give you pause to think that even for one second this screwed up group could give LIFE COACHING advice to anyone? Please:o Debbie Russo

Congrats. I taught fitness as an elective at a private middle school for 4 years. If you don't mind, here are a couple of suggestions: Don't try to choreograph too much, kids have a pretty short attention span.... Teach in small spurts, high activity then a recovery session... Keep...

I had mental health food for dinner tonight. A VERY large bowl of Breyer's double churned FREE vanilla ice cream, topped with hot chocolate sauce (2 tbsps dark chocholate melted in a tbsp of skim milk) and a handful of toasted chopped almonds. (I figure I had calcium, antioxidants and protein...

Hi, I purchased my "step" mat from Fitness First at www.fitness1st.com. It was $17.50 plus shipping and worth every penny! It is more of stiffer pad than a flexible mat, but very cushy and comfortable. I struggled with the floor-mat-over-the-step for years, and the step mat is vast...

Chris, Will you be offering a pre-sale on the new equipment? Thanks, Debbie Russo

I second Big Cedar Lodge. I have stayed there at least 5 times since it first opened and had a wonderful stay each time. I have not been recently though. It is a very beautiful resort - a little over-the-top. Think Walt Disney does bass fishing! Debbie Russo

Laura, Sorry to hear you got attitude from Greg Twombly, but I have to admit it made me feel a little better about my "run in" with him just last year. I pre-order and moved prior to shipping. I e-mailed CIA my new address weeks before the estimated shipping date. Well they never changed my...

Hi Leanne, I have the Valor Squat Stand and I think it is probably the best value out there. As Kathryn said, the price includes shipping which makes it very good deal. I had shipping quotes in excess of $100 for other racks. It is a pretty sturdy product. I am currently squating just over...

Hmmm...This show hurts my head sometimes. Maybe Kate kidnapped Aaron. She frequently does the wrong thing for what she thinks is the right reason (like killing her father). That could be why Jack, even though he loves Kate so much, can't face what she did. And, of course, there is...

I agree. I truly love that Cathe is taking superior steps to educate us, and personally I find biomechanics and kinesiology fascinating. However, considering the mental and physical focus that these new workouts will require, listening to a anatomy lesson could be one layer too many...

As a native Jersey-ite, I feel your pain. After 37 years of winter I moved to the Gulf Coast of Florida. Heaven! It is a balmy 75 degrees today (a little cloudy though). The pool water is almost 80 degrees and the palm trees are gently swaying in the breeze. I love it here. I had to return to...

I hear ya! It's cold here too. 48 degrees this a.m. with a wind chill of 47 degrees! Brrr... And I think that our high today is going to barely hit 72 }( Debbie Russo Lakewood Ranch, Florida

Carmen; Your fat calories are based on a % of your total caloric intake for the day. Total fat should equal between 25 to 30% of your daily calories (no more than 8 to 10% from saturated fats though). So if you are eating 2,000 calories per day, between 500 to 710 calories can come from total...

Marcia and everyone... Thanks so much for all the congrats. I am really excited about this new designation. I am currently a certified trainer and a certified women's fitness specialist through the IFPA. I had been looking into life/fitness coaching types of programs, but most of them seemed...

The ACE Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant exam. Hope you don't mind me sharing, but I am really happy (and relieved). It is a relatively new certification that focuses on working with obese and overweight clients from a nutrition, behavioral modification and exercise standpoint...

Mona, I just bought the squat rack from Valor Athletics. It was very easy to assemble - just a couple of bolts. It is relative light weight so easy to move and store. The racks are recommended for use with weight up to 250#. (Hopefully Cathe isn't so wicked }( that 250# capacity wouldn't...

Good evening all, Quick question... I donated blood several days ago, and yikes, my perceived exertion has gone off the charts. Three days after I donated I tried to do IMAX 2, normally not a killer workout for me. I had to stop after interval 5, I had absolutely nothing left to give. I...

Shayne, Thanks, I will call them. I can't believe something like this is so difficult to locate. It is hard to believe that the technology isn't there to make a water-proof microphone. My friend is hoping not to have to give up in-water teaching to do deck-side instruction. Sorry about...
