    Cool sculpting?

    I went to a demonstration of cool scultp about 6 months ago. It was pretty freaky. The "model" was an employee of the dermatologist who performed the procedure. The model reclined flat on her back and the Dr. positioned an "empty" plastic box over her abdomen. There was a hose attached to the...

    Mega Step Blast?

    Mega Step was my very first Cathe workout about a million years ago! I was stepping to Step Reebok, Gilad, Kari Anderson and Kathy Smith. I thought I was doing the "hardest workouts on Earth". Then I tried Mega Step and Cathe. Whew! Mega Step quickly became known as the Mega "death" Step...

    Cathe's Make-Up

    I agree about less make-up (especially the false eyelashes!). I have shown Cathe workouts to my clients and more often than not they comment about how much make-up she is wearing. I love her older videos where she looks more natural. Just my opinion, I am a Cathe fan for life. Debbie...

    Getting Older

    Hey I am with you! Aging stinks, no wait, it STINKS! I am 55 and I struggle everyday to actually believe it. I am in great physical condition, I am a certified health coach and personal trainer, so believe me I do everything possible to keep fit. I have been working out with Cathe for...

    How to clean stainless steel?

    I am so excited, my new stainless steeel appliances were delivered yesterday, finally! However, the delivery personnel left tons of smudges and fingerprints all over them. I tried a stainless steel "pop-up towelette" cleaner but now the finish looks streaky. :( Any suggestions on the best...

    Best Hair Brush Ever!

    Goody Quikstyle The bristles are wrapped in tiny microfiber towels. They make a paddle brush and a half round. The wrapped bristles absorb moisture as you are blowing drying. Using this brush has cut my drying time by at least the advertised 30%! As a personal trainer, I seem to be forever...

    When did PlayDoh become....

    I am the OP and I have to tell you I am tempted to go to another local Target and try again to buy PlayDoh. I live on the west coast of Florida (Sarasota) and I am still kinda floored over this. I can't imagine what the thought process is with this policy. Isn't PlayDoh nontoxic? Even though...

    When did PlayDoh become....

    ...a controlled substance? Yesterday, at Target, I attempted to buy a couple of containers of Play Doh. The cashier asked me for ID. I thought she was kidding. The system was asking for my ID and would not process the order without it. The cashier was not only supposed to check my ID but...

    Disney :)

    Wonderwoman: Disney will be everything that you expect it to be. I live really close (90 mins away) so I have lots of experience. What hotel are you staying in? All Disney hotels offer bus transportation just know that it is not a quick ride to the parks from the hotels. There will be lots...

    Body Beast?

    This looks really interesting, but I can't seem to find out where to order, or how much it costs. Did you order from a coach? or the on-line site? Thanks, Debbie Russo

    False Eyelashes

    Am I the only one not riding this wave? :rolleyes: I was watching TV the other night and the actress looked like she had awnings attached to her eyes! Sigh, seems like too much work plus glue near my contact lenses scares the daylights out of me. Debbie Russo

    How Often do you get on the scale?

    Every morning and every evening.:p I can't trust my clothes because by the time I realize that they are a little tight I have gained 5 pounds. I am at the weight that I want to be. At 5'11" I can put on 3 or 4 pounds and not see it. The scale does not freak me out, but if I gain more than...

    Looking for info on Sanibel Island, FL

    Hi Jen: I live on the west coast of Florida, not too far north of Sanibel. It is a beautiful place, but as Melanie said, very quiet and low key. A really great choice just north of Sanibel is Siesta Key. Siesta Key beach was named the number one beach in the country! It is spectacular...

    Starting Insanity tomorrow... any advice

    I agree about the separate warm-up. I don't use Insanity as a total program, but I throw in a work-out here or there for variety. I use one of Cathe's warm ups - like MMA Boxing - then do the Insanity warm-up as the first "combo". I skip his really long (like 6+ minutes) static stretch and go...

    Hiit 30/30: the easiest Hiit, but definitly not easy!!

    I agree that 30/30 intervals are hard, but I just don't feel like it is "enough" so I add the intervals from Drill Max as my part two of the workout. That way I get the true HIIT done first so my heart rate is up there for the Drill Max drills which are longer and more steady state cardio...
