    Need serious advice re:NPTI school???

    I really think I am going to take the plunge and would like to get certified to be a personal trainer. However, I am thinking I need serious practical instruction along with book learnin':D since I am not a member of a gym and workout in my garage with Cathe, Tracie, Kelly, and Michelle :D...

    Chuckle...

    I think there is an element of obsession and brain-washing that goes on for some of us faithfuls who pop in our Cathe dvds day-in and day-out that completely colors our world and how we see it! :eek::D:o

    I've been benched

    I am so sorry too hear that you are injured. I so understand the frustration...i broke my shoulder two years ago and had to sit and sleep In a recliner for 2 MONTHs! Anyway, in retrospect, I wish I had just enjoyed my time off more and really relished it and enjoyed insofar as I could instead...

    I got hubby to workout with me!

    I am happy to report that my DH is a Cathe convert....but only as far as her spin dvds go....for now.... He loves them compared to some other weirdo spin dvds that just weren't as athletic and had added all this eastern mystism and "feel it" mumbo jumbo.....now if you're into that...

    Cool sculpting?

    Hmm...well all I know is that I have "love handles" because I weight too much. If I want them to go away, I will need to lose that last 10-15 pounds. Now, I am 5'9" and I linger between 148-150 lbs. Many would say that I was just where I should be...I wear a size 6 (most of the time)...

    Looking for a rotation to get ready for a Spartan!

    I think that a good investment for the Spartan Sprint for you would be X10. It is very challenging and pushes you. As for an opinion on Push pull/Supersets...I generally only use these on lazy days when I don't want much of a muscular challenge, but want to do something. I just have never...

    Workouts with Medicine Balls

    Cathe's classic Bootcamp DVD (Muscle Endurance is also coupled with it on this DVD) uses a med ball for ab work and other weighted exercises. Bootcamp is one of my all-time favorites!

    Party Rockin Step 1 No Fan

    PRS1 does have advanced choreography, but my main thing is that I have to modify all the little twists and twirls because I get so dizzy! I just won't and can't do them unless I want to fall!

    Problems with X10 series dvds?

    Update: Even though I was only having trouble with my new series dvds....that is the ones with X10, flex Train, etc.... I decided to go ahead and get a new DVD player since my old one was three years old and I used at least 5-6 times per week(but only for workouts)...I had definitely gotten my...
