    Cathe Announcement

    It's a good thing Cathe has never tried to sell us swamp land in Florida because I would be first in line to pre-order!

    I LOVE living in Sarasota. Went to the beach today, high of 81 degrees:cool: I moved here from NJ about 18 years ago. I pull out the sweaters when the temps dip into the 60's - I am such a light-weight now! Happy to provide any information that I can. Keep warm! Debbie Russo

    Off Topic: Any Interior Decorators out there???

    Stacy, I would stay away from a light gray wall coloring, I think that the deeper gray of the carpet will cast shadows of the green on to the walls, especially as the lighting in the room changes throughout the day. My thought would be to go with a taupe color slightly lighter than your...

    4-ft. standard barbell?

    Jodi, I had the same problem with too much bar and not enough space. I had the really long "chrome" barbell. I hack-sawed 6" off each end. Worked great. I now have a shorter barbell that weighs 10# instead of 15#! Debbie Russo

    Need suggestions

    4 day Split Boot Camp. No step combos, easy blasts and very very easy to modify intensity. Your husband may even like it! Debbie

    Arizona Cathletes HELP!

    Thank you for the suggestions. the Musical Instrument Museum seems great (my husband is a guitarist, so he will love it!). I found out that the Desert Botanical Garden has a night tour, so that should be fun (and maybe cooler!). It has been raining so much and so often here on the west coast...

    Arizona Cathletes HELP!

    Several months ago I made travel plans to visit my god-daughter and her boyfriend in Scottsdale. Airline tickets - check; rental car - check; house rented - check; god-daughter still living in Scottsdale - uh.... no! Got a phone call out of the blue, she left her boyfriend and moved back...

    Birchbox?

    Does anyone in Catheland subscribe to Birchbox, the monthly "beauty" delivery subscription? Seems like it would be fun to get samples of new products each month. Thanks, Debbie

    Wandering the most popular age group for Cathletes

    I am 57 and my husband is 59. We have both been working out with Cathe since her MegaStep workout - early 90's. I am an ACE certified health and fitness coach and a personal trainer. (Second career - started in 2001) While mentally our ages freak me out, physically it is a non-issue. We both do...

    Micro-Needling

    Just wondering if anyone out there in Cathe Land has had experience (good or bad) with facial micro-needling. My dermatologist's practice has just started to offer this procedure. The claim is that it will reduce pore size and improve skin texture and tightness. It's not cheap - $300+ per...

    Question about tipping...

    To tip or not to tip... I have an appointment for a facial with a woman who owns her own practice. She rents space in a "salon loft" setting. Am I supposed to tip her? The facial is $95, if so, how much? My feelings have been that you don't tip the owner of the practice, only employees. I am...

    Ripped w/ HiiT... not hard enough ;(

    Say what? You did approximately 3 hours of interval training today? And then all that other stuff too? As a personal trainer with more than 15 years experience all I can say is ":eek:" If you are really sustaining that level of training, then nothing Cathe has will challenge you. Debbie Russo

    Heaviest weight for home gyms?

    I have dumbbells from 2# up to 45#. About 200#s worth of plates - my favorites are the 1.25# plates that I found at Goodwill of all places! I have a weight vest that goes up to 40# but I am not crazy about using it fully loaded. I feel like it impedes my breathing. Wrist weights - 1#, 1.5#...

    Tommy Copper

    Does anyone have feedback on Tommy Copper compression products, particularly the compression sleeve? My husband has "guitarist's" elbow - a hybrid of medial and lateral epicondylitis. He has tried the rest/ice/therapy routine, along with a cortisone injection. It has improved greatly, but I am...

    Key West

    Any favorite spots in Key West (or any of the Keys)? We are going to be renting a house on Islamorada at the end of September. First time there - even though I have lived in Florida for 15 years. Kind of embarassing:o I haven't been there sooner. Love outdoor stuff - snorkling, kayaking...

    DVD Player Help Needed

    My antique DVD player has passed on and I am having a hard time finding a replacement. My main requirement is that the new player has OSD - On Screen Display - that features a timer to count chapter/title elapsed or chapter/title remaining. I am the mix-match queen of Cathe DVD's so I really...
