RE: Cleda, I know who Phil Collins and Genesis is So there, you are not the only old one. :) Kim

RE: I think it is because Collaged sponsored that ad LAST EDITED ON Mar-07-02 AT 11:14PM (Est)[p]and they no longer carry Cathe's workouts in their catalog. Too bad that M&F Hers didn't do the research - then they would have included Cathe. Kim

RE: Some things to keep in mind Genetics definitely do play a big part in the whole scheme of muscle builing capability. However, so does a very clean diet. The models in M&F Hers, or any fitness mag for that matter, have a bodyfat percentage well under 10%. At that point, a women will not...

RE: Hi again Amy While I have downhill skiied a fair bit, I only do beginner and mostly intermediate runs and I despise moguls. I am definitely only an intermediate skiier at best. My date, however, is more so a beginner and so I don't think we will be taking any really horrendous runs but...

RE: What the heck - I'm in too I guess if you can't brag here, where can you right? Once, after seeing a picture of Mia Finnegan in a turtleneck, I thought to myself, I want visible definition when wearing a long sleeved turtleneck too. Well, I put one on last night and Wow, no problem...

RE: Heading to Banff myself at the end of March Hi Amysue I have not skiied downhill since a year or so before I had kids, which makes it about 13 years now. My date and I are heading out that way at the end of March. Can't wait! I had better not hurt myself skiing or I will be one pissed...

RE: Hey Debbie - our resident social planner! Hi Debbie Yes, I was proud of the effort the Canadian athletes put forward this year. I thought I would mention how I appreciate your positive input into this forum on many occasions since I mostly smile at your posts but stay silent. You go...

RE: the top of the hips and across the belly Hi Amysue I hear what you are saying about those fat deposit places. To look at my shoulders, arms, legs and glutes, I would guess my bodyfat to be extremely low but then to look at the spot just above my belly button, the percentage must jump big...

RE: weightlifting LAST EDITED ON Feb-26-02 AT 11:28PM (Est)[p]Hi Amysue Do you weight train at all? If you do not, you might find that building some muscle would boost your metabolism and lean you out. Too much cardio can be counter-productive to the point of diminishing returns, not to...

RE: If I had a dollar for every time I was told I LAST EDITED ON Feb-25-02 AT 07:13AM (Est)[p] was "big boned", I'd be rich. I am quite sure that I am a classic mesomorph and you (likes2befit) sound like one too. There are of course combinations but I don't think everyone is necessarily that...

RE: Yay Team Canada! LAST EDITED ON Feb-24-02 AT 09:58PM (Est)[p]Wow, gold medals for both the Canadian hockey teams. I had to make sure I got my workout in today before the game. Here was my week: Monday - rest Tuesday - Cardio Kicks Wednesday - rest Thursday - Rhythmic Step Friday -...

Hi Marnie Yes, I can do the last interval but I suspect I jump no where near as high as Cathe. If I had a DVD player and it was possible, I would program it to play backwards and so doing that last one as the first one would be way easier if one was fresh. Keep at it, you'll get it. Kim

Hi Kristina I am glad to hear that you are listening to your body before the pain really sets in. I would like to think that I am getting there too. Sometimes, even just a day or two now can save weeks and months later. Enjoy all the reading you can catch up on. Kim

RE: People eventually become accustomed to the "new and improved you" and they do eventually stop commenting. I too like many others come to places like this and VF and to discuss my passion and hobby for working out because "lay people" get tired or bored of hearing about it. Now, intead of...

RE: The Firm You know, I never tried, no make that finished, a Firm tape. I had received Tough Tape I or II (not sure) and starting laughing when I started doing it and said to myself, "I don't think so" and then I traded it. I do own Standing Legs from a trade and someday will try in an...

RE: How I got here When I starting looking for fitness videos, I could not find much in the stores but was at least fortunate enough to find Kathy Smith Power Step and Step Reebok, the video. I did the former once, gave it away and continued to use the Reebok one quite a bit. But I wanted and...

RE: Happy Hour high low is the only one I have mastered I had 9801, Hi Low Heaven and Still Jumpin and traded them all. I like her Strength, Balance and Flexibility tape too. I have not really tried her step tapes since I needed hi lo for cross training purposes. I am hoping her new tapes...

RE: Hi Paulette The triathlon in La Ronge is in August and so swimming in the lake, while it can be cold, is not bad. The swim on the shorter events tends to be quite short as is the swim in the La Ronge event as it consists of a .5 km swim. I am not much of a swimmer and while I get out of...

RE: LOL Debra You get quite a kick out of that house renovation/triathlon training hey Debra. :) You know, I still worked out in the morning before the painter got here for those 3 weeks this summer. I have to admit that I did not really "hardcore" train for my event. In fact, I had not...

RE: a little late this week Hi everyone. Sounds like you all had a great week. Paulette - aren't you glad that cold snap broke? Wow, that cold was getting a bit much for me. I was actually in your neck of the woods last week but forgot to email you and had no way to get a hold of you...
