Hi Rhonda, When she does the second side with the extra insoles (I do agree that it's a nice breather after all those knees!!!) I just do those insoles corner-to-corner on the step instead of one on the step/one to the back corner. I don't think it's that big of an issue...

Hi Deb - I am SO sorry for your little toe! I broke mine several years ago and it is a BIG pain. I broke a middle one some time before that and it only hurt if I touched it. However, that broken pinkie toe hurt all the time. It's amazing that a teeny little toe can cause so much pain...

I think you'd be really happy with the Classics DVD. I've been working out with Cathe for a long time but any time I've come back after a break, illness etc I always reach for Step Heat. It's a great workout but much less intense than most Cathes (to me). Step Jam comes next. Doing these...

Hi! I wanted to agree with what Jillybean mentioned. Do you have the CTX series? When I started Cathe (so many years ago!) IMAX was one of my first workouts and those intervals were so intimidating, especially 2, 4 and 8! I really thought they were for professionals only and just assumed I...

That is TOO funny! I have a pregnant friend working on baby names and she came up with one possibility and mentioned that the initials would be KPC...I swear I thought of the workout before I considered the name! We are obsessed! Mikie

I can appreciate the name issues...my full name is Michaelann. Just one word but pronounced as Michael-Ann. It should be so easy since it's just the two names shoved together but no one can ever read it right. Plus, I don't have a middle name so people want to make Ann my middle name and...

There are a lot of foods that I don't like (raw onions, mushrooms, tomatoes) but I finally thought of two things that I don't like at all that everyone else seems to love: 1) Steak. I eat meat, even red meat (ground beef), but I just don't like steak at all, never have. Every few years I'll...

I don't think you HAVE to tip him but it's a nice gesture. Still, giving cash to a stranger is a little awkward. What about a small gift certificate to a local restaurant or a reliable chain like Brinker (Chilis, On The Border etc). Those gift cards are good at all their restaurants. That...

Thanks!! I actually just bought the small size to use for travel and bought one for my mom too - I haven't used it yet and I'm glad I saw this before I did, just in case. Mikie

What about fajitas? Vegetarians can load up on onions, peppers and beans and most everyone likes them. The only draw back would be that it's a little harder to work while eating fajitas than a slice of pizza or sandwich. Mikie

I appreciate you all taking the time to share your ideas...thanks for all your help! Mikie

I know this has been discussed before and I promise I searched for the answer but had no luck. I was very intrigued by the thread about Pilates videos and want to start using some of your suggestions. How do you all incorporate them into your workout week? I have been working out with...

I really hate it too. I read once that it can be very painful for "professional" animals to be dressed up - chimp feet aren't made to fit into roller skates.

Hey - I love this show but I don't think I could do it justice. Check out www.televisionwithoutpity.com They recap shows really well. They'll post a short version first and then the long play-by-play is posted a few days before the next episode. Jin, Michael and Sawyer ended up in a...

I just started doing the same thing...except I call them sauteed or grilled (avoiding the FRIED!!) I put a little olive oil or Pam in the pan and then add some minced garlic and the broccoli and let it pan fry until it gets some nice brown crusty edges. The caramelization really brings out a...

I work for a food manufacturer and we get calls about gluten sensitivities all the time. It seems to be affecting a lot of people. For the record, Daisy sour cream is gluten free. Hope that helps I agree that your daughter will adjust easier than if she found out as an adult. Good...

Hi - I just wanted to add that I get this too sometimes. I don't know what causes it but I do know that applying a little neosporine helps mine. Interesting about the iron...I've never been diagnosed with anemia but I sometimes get denied when I try to give blood because my iron is too...

RE: Art lovers - please post names of your favorite pai... I took an art history class this summer and studied Western European art from the beginning of time up through the 19th century. My favorite period was the Baroque period and my favorite artist was Rubens. His paintings are full of...

I really like Steak Tartare too! Definitely have sandwich and salad stuff on hand. You could also make a big batch of soup or chili in advance - you could offer that with sandwiches or salads and it would be pretty low maintenance...just microwave! You could also fix a healthy banana...

RE: Slow & Heavy! How effective and do you all use them... I agree Nancy! Sometimes I like to do a CTX cardio + a S&H upper body part to give me an hour workout. That gives me 5 days and on the sixth day I do S&H Legs plus some floor work legs. I love S&H - especially the leg segment...
