    Packaging of LIS

    I think they did a great job on the packaging, however I wish I could have had an option to get individual cases. I store my workouts on an open bookshelf by type of workout - heavy weights, HIIT, Step, Yoga, etc. Then when I plan my weekly rotation I pull the individual workouts that I am...

    i heart plyo legs!

    I agree, I think plyo legs is one of Cathe's all time "bestest" creations. Lately I have been eliminating the weight portion and doing 2 or 2 1/2 of the workouts back-to-back as one of my HIIT days. I love the vertical movements of jumping on and off the bench. I just FF through the weight...

    Heart Palpitations

    Dela, You might want to do some research on Gastric Reflux Disease. The fact that you are feeling these symptoms after a heavy meal or rich dessert goes hand-in-hand with Reflux. The "fluttering" or spasms of the diaphram can mimic the feel of a heart palpitation. I have a mild hiatal...

    Where do you store your equipment?

    I used to exercise in my living room and I know what a pain hauling out weights can be. I bought a huge wicker basket and put my dumbbells in it. I then covered the weights with a throw and some pillows. No one ever suspected that there was a couple hundred pounds of weights beneath such cute...

    How did Carol Brady spend her day?!?!?

    Don't forget that in the 70's bathrooms were not what they are today. It was very rare for a middle income family to have a house with a powder room, master bathroom or guest bath. Most homes just had one bathroom. I remember going to a friend's house in the early 70's and her parents had...
