    Need advice for my father

    LAST EDITED ON Jan-20-03 AT 09:27AM (Est)[p]Thank you for your responses Ann and Edith. I think I will follow Ann's advice, because I certainly don't want him to feel overwhelmed. I have to go with him to buy him some weights, and will coach him through 1 exercise per body part, but do it as a...

    Need advice for my father

    I posted this on the ask Cathe forum, but since she's leaving tomorrow, I probably won't get a response. So, I'll ask my question here, since I know that there are PTs and fitness instructors who could give me the advice I need. My dad who is 61 years old, was diagnosed with rheumatoid...

    Meribeth, Cathe, Someone... I am a newbie and need advice

    I'm personally a big fan of the CTX series (on DVD). It has a flavor of different forms of cardio: hi/lo, kickboxing, step and circuits. A great lower body muscular endurance workout (Leaner legs) and one of the best upper body splits on the market. Second vote would go to the PH DVD. As...

    Does this mean I should do less intensity???

    I have an appointment with a PT tonight for the same type of evaluation as you had Babs... I know that I will be asked about my present level of activity and the type of activity I do. I pretty much know that I'll also get a strange look when I say that most of my workout schedule revolves...

    Results with Pure Strength - extra cardio seems to be key

    LAST EDITED ON Nov-28-02 AT 09:47AM (Est)[p]That looks like an awesome rotation Kristine. And I agree probably the reason why you are seeing such dramatic results is because of the intense cardio sessions (which burn more calories than less intense). I like the fact that as a second "strength"...

    Women's Clothing Size

    "Like I figure I'm at 6 in Gap, Old Navy, Blue Notes and American Eagle but can't squeeze into an 8 at Jacob." Jacob is a Quebec based company, and here, sizes are made smaller than elsewhere in Canada, and the states. Also, having known personally one of the marketing specialists in the...

    Message from Canada!!

    I'm in Montreal, and it's a gray, slightly humid, but not rainy day. I don't mind the winter months, as long as there is snow... rain in the winter completely depresses me. Janick http://www.clicksmilies.com/sammlung/sport/sport003.gif

    Message from Canada!!

    Hi there! I'm also in Canada. I mostly lurk here, but do post once in a while. I know at least a few other canadians that are Cathe-o-holics (like I've become :) ). You will find the crowd very educated, and you will increase your fitness knowledge by hanging around here. Welcome! Janick...

    Split Routine Question

    This is an interesting thread as I am working on a CTX rotation right now. I try to work 2 body parts per day, so as I can have an extra 1 hour cardio session during the week (which I was planning to add MIS upper body). I try to change combinations of body parts each week. For example this...

    Need Help Marketing Your New Videos??

    *Nodding head* I completely agree with you Annette. By "outsourcing" the marketing of the product to a larger corporation, she would most likely lose all "creative" content dibs on her product. The major goal of marketing specialists is to acquire an ever increasing part of the market (ie...

    Question about defective DVD

    I've had the CTX DVD for a few months. Well tonight, I found a major glitch in disk no2 (the one with Leaner Legs). I've played the disk quite a bit, but had never noticed this (because I had never played this part of the disk before... the kicbox workout). Has this ever happened to you...
