Hi, These high deductible plans can save you a lot of money when you are healthy ... just be sure to read the fine print. Are there co-pays after the deductible is met? What is the maximum out-of-pocket expense? Is it a family plan or is there a separate deductible for each family member...

In the summer, I sometimes use the cardio portions for a shorter, intense workout and then go for a walk for the rest of my cardio just to get outside and enjoy the summer weather. Meaner Legs is in my leg rotation on a regular basis. I sometimes will use the upper body workout when doing a...

Dips are just backward lunges (instead of forward). I think the number of reps for each exercise are specifed in the spreadsheet. Kudos to you for doing the workout even without the dvd! Deb

Hi and welcome to Cathe land (or Cathe Nation now). I'd also suggest you take a look at Cathe's beginner rotation on the rotation forum and start with the workouts in that rotation. Cathe also has posted an Intermediate rotation, and I'd suggest you do that one next. If you haven't done step...

Wow! Thanks so much for sharing this! For those who have Excel, this is what worked for me ... "save" the file instead of opening it, then open Excel and open the file. Works great. Deb

sounds like you may be on right track My nephew and now his daughter were very colicky (and my mother said my brother was too - their father/grandfather). The major help came in finding an infant formula that was less sensitive to their little tummys. Also holding them tightly seemed to help...

workout2 - check your spam folder I too didn't receive my email with the link to get a new password. I use MSOutlook as my email program and it didn't come in the Spam folder either -- Outlook seems to filter some Spam out before it even lands in that folder. So I checked MyYahoo web page for...

I've tried rice protein. It's supposed to be less allergenic for people than whey or soy. The only difference I've noticed is that it doesn't seem to "dissolve" as well as whey or soy protein ... it has a little "grainy" effect ... but it doesn't taste bad or anything. I don't really know...

IIRC, Amy has a tutorial on this DVD ... I found it helpful to watch the tutorial just prior to doing the workout for the first couple of times. Deb

You might wnat to check out Kelly Coffe-Myers's Step-Boxing -- she has two -- I enjoy the second one more than the first. I don't think it is as intense as KPC though. HTH, Deb

for upper body, it's usually about 45-60 minutes. for lower body it's often longer ... GSL and B&G are longer than an hour if you do the whole thing ... many people shorten them up to about an hour.

Well, I put off getting more serious about weight training because I thought it would be boring also, especially compared to cardio and all the variation one can have there. But I was surprised when I started doing Cathe's weight workouts ... I'm not bored. The time passes very quickly -- I...

Ohhh boyyy... that brings back memories... 3 summers ago the agency I was working at started to get less busy. For the first time ever in the 4 years I worked there, I had time to surf the web during work hours. That concerned me because it meant the agency wasn't doing well financially. So I...

I congratulate you on your bravery. I've been in a similar tough pickle in the past and stayed until I had another job lined up, even tho the new job wasn't financially stable for the long haul. I was just so glad to be out of the old place, so I understand the sense of relief and the...

Jerry, looks like you had a great time! Had to chuckle at your master of the hairball ... my two cats may, just may, have your's beat on that one ... lol. Deb

Hi Jeannie, Congrats on your great progress toward health and fitness! One more consideration is that sometimes it's helpful to start weight lifting with a total body workout, or even use it as a supplement to a split routine like the Pyramids. You might want to consider either Muscle...

Why not send a personal email to Cathe with your suggestions? Or to Chris? Just a thought. Deb

From Pete Egoscue's "Pain Free" book: 1) foot circles and toe point/flex while on back and stretching hip flexor by pulling knee to chest. 2) hamstring stretch - lying on back, lift straight leg to about 45 degree angle with strap around the ball of foot and stretch hamstring and foot at...
