Elizabeth, Thank you so much for your words and thoughts. I am feeling much better, by the way, at least physically! I like your Push Pull/IMAX 2 combo. I might try that this weekend! Actually, I was thinking about Body Max. I've never done it, and I may be crazy to think I'm up for...

I need a little laughing smiley face! The floor I work out on is carpeted. Do you think there's a cloth I could use that would work on carpet and would clean it? Or maybe if I use a plastic bag, the static electricity would pull out the dirt! I certainly could use any help I could get...

Kathryn, I ordered Core Foundations last night. I don't know if you saw on my other thread to you, I did ask one more question. I just wanted to know which of the other two workouts you referred to as #2. Is it Functional Strength? I think I'm putting off ordering SS for now, although...

Hello everyone, I was going to more or less have a rest day today. I thought I'd just do yoga this morning. Well, I wound up sleeping in instead, but woke up feeling worse than if I had gotten up early. This has been a kind of bad day. Michael is still feeling poorly a lot of days, and...

First, I hope your son has a speedy recovery. Second, I know exactly how you feel. We've had a rough couple of months at my house--my older son had viral meningitis in early February, and although he recovered from that, he has had ongoing health issues that have yet to be resolved. He...

Hey, just checking in again, because I saw something regarding sodium to better answer Kim's question. I KNEW I shouldn't quote a nutrition label earlier, oh well. I just saw that the average woman only NEEDS 500 mg/day, but most of us get 3000-6000. I blew it just on lunch (the 500 that is)...

Hey, everyone! Today's raining and chilly. I had a tough time getting started this morning. The alarm went off at 5, and I laid on the couch until almost 5:30. Then I got up and did that David Kirsch Boot Camp that left me so sore last week (did I say more sore in my hamstrings and inner...

RE: Kathryn-one more question! Kathryn, Me again. One more question. Which workout do you consider to be #2. Is it the Functional Strength? Thanks! Lisa

Kathryn, You're too funny, but helpful! I think I will order the entire Slim Series, and just Core Foundations for now. Thanks, as always!

Michele, I'm not Cathe, and this is just my two cents, but I think modifying to lower impact is how you should modify. Cathe often says that you don't have to jump various moves. I wonder though if stepping is harder on the knees than some other aerobic activities.

Hello everyone, Sabine, I'm glad you're feeling better, and that you're doing easier workouts, although the way you said you were feeling yesterday, I think I would have taken the day off. I've done the Cardio Sculpt and enjoy it. I went with easy cardio yesterday--my cardio Salsa. I...

Cathe, I like your suggestions. I'd like to figure out a rotation with them (or maybe you could come up with one?:7 ). Thanks!

Jane, I loved your reply! Lisa

Kathryn, You were very helpful to me a week or so ago with your opinion on Slim Series vs. the new TLP videos. By the way, I have many, many workout videos, so I guess I'm a collector also! I'm still thinking about this, and have another question. You had suggested that I might just want...

RE: Nancy: a couple of more thoughts Hey Dani and Nancy! First, Nancy, I think you can't go wrong with the Winsor Pilates, and I agree that you were wise to go with the beginner package. Once you feel like you've mastered them, then you can try other instructors or Mari's more advanced...

Hey everyone, First, Pinky I've probably missed you since you already checked in. I'm glad you got to work out today. I hope you have an uneventful, safe flight, and that Andrew sleeps a lot. Is this his first flight? I'm on a non-Cathe stint right now (except for the weekends, it...

Nancy: a couple of more thoughts Nancy, You're welcome. I don't think I said yesterday that I had just last week gotten Hillary Burnett's intermediate and advanced tapes. After replying to you, I decided to try the intermediate. I enjoyed it a lot. She did more reps of some of the...

Hey everyone, Just a quick check-in; I haven't even got time to read everyone's posts! I did Push Pull yesterday, and went heavier on just about everything (a few exercises I was able to do last week with Cathe's weight, and for those I didn't increase). I also did a little Lotte Berk for...

Nancy, Winsor Pilates has a 20 minute workout, which works both abs and legs and a 20 minute ab sculpting video, both of which I've tried and like. Gaiam has a 20 minute pilates for abs, which I enjoy and think is harder than either of those two Winsor videos. There is also a Winsor...

Jackie, I got one in February. I started using it, and then got sick and haven't gotten back to it. I have several DVDs that I ordered for it: two cardio with Rob Glick, one strength with Gay Gasper, and a yoga based one (I can't remember the instructor). One of the Rob Glick cardio...
