    Wrist/Palm protector for Horizontal Conditioning?

    Another vote for WAGS!! I bought them for HC based on advice on here and they've been great. Before I was getting weird marks on my palms from the step and my wrists were bothering me just a little. The small wedge in the gloves has made a huge difference. I'm actually doing HC volume 2...

    A nice compliment at the gym

    You must be flying high with a compliment like that!! I know I would be. It's always so amazing to find out WE are an inspiration to someone else ... and that someone else notices what at times can feel like "thankless" work (don't get me wrong - obviously fitness is something we do for...

    Did horizontal conditioning Vol. 2 and had to laugh...

    I have volumes 2 and 3, want to get 1 and 4. Bootcamp looks ridiculous. But I am looking for a new challenge since running is kind of off the list now (torn disc). How long is bootcamp? I may do that or P90x.

    TRX - any experience/opinions on this?

    As a recovering injured runner (torn disc) I'm looking at my fitness routine and, after 2 months in physical therapy and months of HC, have a new appreciation for body weight exercises and balance. Been looking at TRX to switch things up, bring strength and stability. Just curious if any...

    Did horizontal conditioning Vol. 2 and had to laugh...

    I have had incredible lat DOM after at times! Especially after volume 3. And to those with the hat/production value complaints - I totally agree. However, after doing them for months I've found I spend so much time horizontal these things don't even bother me! If it were something like...

    Did horizontal conditioning Vol. 2 and had to laugh...

    I love HC too. I've been doing volumes 2 and 3 for 9 months or so. Would still like to purchase 1 and 4. Usually doing one volume 2x/week for a month then switch to the other. I'm on volume 3 right now and that thing is so hard. Every time we get to the oblique stuff at the end I literally...

    Any info on Lexington, KY?

    Thanks for all the info! That will give me some direction this afternoon when I sit down to try to plan things. My 12 yr old daughter loves and rides horses, and we'll probably do the horse park, but she has to know for the sake of her brothers' this isn't her personal vacation! If she had...

    Any info on Lexington, KY?

    I'm in a last minute panic figuring out what to do for spring break! Thinking about going to Lexington and I'm just overloaded with internet searches. We'd be going with my 3 kids - ages 12, 9 and 4. If any fellow Cathletes have suggestions of where/what to go do and see (or to avoid!) that...

    Belly Dancing!

    I've heard of the nature deficit thing. I also read an article once about how parks that actually don't have play equipment are better for kids - use their imagination. She got around horses years ago because we started her in therapeutic riding. She's high functioning (most of her issues are...

    Belly Dancing!

    I was just so inspired by the fine muscle movements required and the beautiful confidence these women had! Maybe just something fun to try - if I have the guts to do it!! And eminenz2 - my daughter would pick riding a horse over absolutely anything else. She's taken lessons periodically...

    Belly Dancing!

    Wow! I just went to a Fret Music Festival here and watched some belly dancers perform - up close. Was just blown away by the fine muscle movements in their hips/abs/chest! I also felt a boost of confidence watching their belly fat jiggle a bit with all that hip action!! As a runner it's so...

    Horizontal Conditioning

    I think the discount offer expired March 11. I shouldn't have debated so long. I have volumes 2 and 3 and do them twice/week.

    Cathe Yoga

    I have Yoga Relax and really like it. I've had a love/hate (okay - really only hate)relationship with yoga in the past. As a runner with a bad back I knew it was something important but most yoga instructors made me crazy with all of their weird talk. Just couldn't get into that. Cathe took...

    Boo Hiss: sweetened milk

    This seems to follow right on the heels of this article I just read and the doc. I just watched called "Hungry for Change" (I think). The article is long but anger kept me reading. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/magazine/the-extraordinary-science-of-junk-food.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

    Horizontal Conditioning

    From what I know that looks great! I'd love to hear an update when you get done with that rotation. I did HC 3 for the first time in weeks this week and my lats have NEVER been so sore. Not even with STS! Good luck.

    Insanity program

    Never done any of these but thought this was funny - I'm in PT for a torn disc and inquirer about these. Her response: "we've seen lots of people in here who have been doing p90x/insanity/asylum" - as in back injury especially. Part of it is not really fit people jumping into the fire and...
