    PF surgery

    Colleen, I don't think you've gotten complete information from your doctor about your alternatives. I think that most podiatrists would recommend that you get physical therapy treatments which include ultrasound (the metal ball like pregnant ladies get) to see if they can get the swelling...

    RE: using mysporttraining Palm software & love it I've been using MySportTraining software on my Palm (with the desktop version too) since January and I adore it. I entered all my exercise videos in as separate workouts and I just choose which one I did each morning and enter the # of...

    Mothers-would you EVER say this?

    Offer her some help? Edie, Our daughter was colicky, screamed & cried violently from 11PM to 4AM. Then she got non-stop ear infections and cried all night. My husband and I traded every other night not sleeping for 2 years. It is unbelievably draining to do this night after night, month...

    Bloodsucking Family Members

    Janice, Please consider ALANON or ACOA (adult children of alcoholics). At least look at their websites or get one of their books. They have lots of suggestions for practical ways to deal with alcholic relatives. There is nothing more comforting than being a in a room ful of people who know...

    what's your favorite christmas cd??

    A great compilation of rock musicians doing classics to benefit the special Olympics competitors: A Very Special Christmas - 1990 (the red cover). The sequels weren't nearly as good. This one includes Bob Seger singing "Little Drummer Boy" and "Do You Hear What I Hear" by Whitney Houston...

    mini steppers

    Just a comment - be careful with mini-steppers that use hydraulic canister/pumps to provide resistance. Many of these hydraulic pumps cannot be used for more than 15 minutes because they overheat and freeze up or break. So you'll find if you read the manual that it says you must stop after 15...

    Please help. 38 yrs-just told menapausal

    Rhiannon, I highly recommend the book "The Pause: Positive Approaches to Perimenopause and Menopause" by Lonnie Garfield Barbach. You can buy it used for less than $2 at Amazon.com. I'm in the same boat myself and found the non-medicine & medication suggestions very helpful. Good luck...

    Where to buy water filled dumbells?

    I bought Aquabells, didn't like them JenL, If you're considering Aquabells I wouldn't recommend them. I used to travel a lot in my last job and they seemed like a great idea but... It's kind of clumsy to pack & carry two dumbbell handles, the twist-on clamps and EIGHT vinyl barbell...

    Medicine Ball on Fit TV

    Dumb question, but what does Cathe & the gang sell/promote on the medicine ball commercial? For the High Step commercial I can imagine they promote sales of the High Step perhaps with a phone number or link to Escalade Sports so folks can order it. Who's selling the medicine balls...

    Premixes, Blender and SMN

    uh, oh - a dissenting vote! Ulp, sorry to butt in but I actually disagree, I use the workout blender all the time :D I also use many of the premixes as well :D :D My DVD player is not programmable, so if there is no workout blender feature on the HardCore DVDs I would have to select every...

    cathe- premixes

    YES to premixes Hi Chris & SNM, I love the upper/lower body premixes and live by them exclusively. Please consider including premixes on the upcoming Hardcore series. I also use the Workout Blender feature at least 1-2 times a week. Sorry if this makes the decision harder, but I think...

    O/T:Very Personal-Dealing with parents

    Nancy, I've had toxic relationships with my grandparents and others and I recommend reading one of the many great books on the market about dealing with toxic relationships. It will go a long way to making you feel secure and confident despite other's efforts to undermine you. And that's...

    P90X type workouts

    I would love to see Cate do a P90X-type workout series. It's the next step in fitness and it appeals to gym-lovers, strong women, and men too. Boy Cathe could definitely take Beachbody's series up a notch - better music, better form pointers, less corny Tony-style chatter. I would...

    husband's mess

    Well, there is one way... I shared a tiny office with a boss that simply could not put anything away in a file cabinet. It was his way of avoiding making decisions or facing confrontations with folks. One day I cleaned stuff up and then (ta-da) *I REMOVED ALL FLAT SURFACES FROM OUR OFFICE*...
