    Aqua aerobics equipment

    Merry Christmas! Quick question - does anyone know if there is such a thing as a waterproof microphone/headset for aqua instructors? A good friend of mine, 72 years old and a 7-year throat cancer survivor, teaches aqua classes 4 days a week. It is starting to take a toll on her voice box...

    Words just won't do this one justice....

    Amazing! The muscle control that they both possess. Yet somehow her hyper-flexibility creeped me out. How could anyone be so stretchy and still stand up straight? :o Debbie Russo

    Cathe...STS Legs

    Kathryn If you "stagger" the cross legs so that they fit inside each other, the two pieces stand very close. It also has a good height adjustment range. I used it for horizontal pull-ups. I'll be ordering mine before the end of the week. Debbie

    Cathe...STS Legs

    Kathryn- Thank you for your post. I have been searching for this particular squat rack. I owned it several years ago, but I got rid of it when I moved, and I could not recall the manufacturer. It is a great piece of equipment. It is worth the extra $$$ to have a two-piece rack. It is very...

    Hysterectomy?

    Hi Lisa, I had a complete hysterectomy 3 1/2 years ago. It was done vaginally. For me, the actual surgery was not all that painful. I stayed in the hospital one night and after discharge I only used tylenol for discomfort. The first week I felt very "tight," it was difficult to stand up...

    husbands?

    My husband does almost all of Cathe's workouts. He started with Mega Step a million years ago (I think he really, really liked the lace bike shorts and thongs!). His first step tape was the orginal step reebok workout. He does all the step tapes including, RS and BM2. I haven't introduced him...

    feedback for next filming

    I own all of Cathe's workouts and pretty much have worked out exclusively with her for the past 10 years. She is the best of the best. That being said, this new series just doesn't seem like one I will reach for all that often. The off-beat lifting is really making it difficult. For me...

    What's your favorite Stephen King book?

    Mo, I agree - Gerald's Game freaked me out. It seemed like something that could really happen (I mean if you are into handcuffing your spouse to the bed }( ) The Stand will "stand" as the all time classic. Did you know that he threw Carrie away and that his wife sent it to the...

    Rate of Weight loss on shows like The Biggest Loser

    Kim - This has me bothering me also. Here is the rough math... The gentleman that lost 30 pounds last week -- based on his age, approximate height and a starting weight of 300 pounds -- requires about 4,000k a day to maintain his mass. So if he were to decrease his caloric intake to 2,000...

    Who is/was your strangest crush?

    Frank Langella (sp?) when he did the Dracula movie a million years ago. "Bite Me" took on a whole new meaning }( Debbie Russo

    Any other Disney World fans out there??

    Jerry, Love WDW - the reservation # is on my speed dial :7 We live less than 90 minutes from the parks and stay over at least once a month. We were there last week - it was broiling hot but still had a great time. Will you be there for the Food and Wine Fest? Not to be missed. EPCOT has...

    FLORIDA catheites around??????

    Hi everyone, I live in Lakewood Ranch which is about 90 minutes southwest of Orlando and probably an hour north of Fort Meyers. A get-together would be great. I'm about 25 minutes east of Sarasota and the Gulf of Mexico. Debbie Russo

    Step Bench Mat

    Hi everyone - I just recevied the Step Bench Mat (like the ones used in Barry's Bootcamp). It is great. So much better the trying to align a regular roll-up floor mat. Super comfortable and the sides have a cut-out for press work. I ordered through Fitness First (www.fitness1st.com) The...

    Reach; upbeat toning and flexability[anyone try it?]

    I love it. I try to fit it into my routine on a regular basis. It has done great things for my core strength, balance and flexibility. It is easily adapted to your fitness level. If you go all out with it you will definately feel "worked-out." I think it has a pretty high fun factor too.

    Walt Disney World

    The Polynesian is beautiful but the grounds are on the small side, so you feel sort of cramped. Upside is that you can take a small boat to the Grand Floridian and to the Magic Kingdom. It is a very short walk to the monorail transfer center to catch the rail to EPCOT. You can get the monorail...

    Walt Disney World

    Marie: Both those choices are terrific (but with a pretty steep room rate). Have you been to WDW before? I live in Sarasota (about 1h 45m) from WDW and go quite often. I have stayed at all the of WDW resorts except for the Contemporary and the Carribean Beach. We mostly stay at Port...

    P90X Discounts

    Hi Sandra, I guess you get the discount because you previously ordered. This is my first time. ;) I have been debating whether or not to order for so long. Every time I get ready to order I hear not so great things, then I hold off, and then everyone says they are getting great results...
