Hi there, I lived in the Hunter for 4 years. I loved Newcastle, especially the beaches. Cheers Liz N

Where I taught in NSW, we had regulation of class sizes. And people had to book to come to our launches! I think it really depends on the gym you are at. I loved my NSW gym to bits.

We don't have it at Fitness First up here. Are you a Les Mills instructor. As well as love Cathe :) I teach Step, Pump and Combat. Cheers liz N

OK Claridge - where do you do aqua spinning - I have never heard of it! And do you do Cathe tapes as well :) Cheers Liz N

hello from Brisvegas Hi Claridge, I reckon you are starting to scare all of these Americans off the idea of Australia! For those of you that don't know me, I live in Australia too, in Brisbane (we affectionately call it Bris-Vegas) - which is sub tropical. We have heaps of cockroaches...

Clare, I love, love, love your post - you are a legend! :) I have been having some food issues related to depression (for the first time at 35years old) and am trying to find my way back to a healthy balance with my eating. Food is there to be enjoyed - I am just trying to work through my...

I am loving these statements from Annabelle and Laurie - you girls really inspire me. I've been going through a tough time with my eating (I'm pretty sure it's been related to depression) lately and it is of great comfort to see such comments. And finally for Jane, I will bet that you are...

Hello Robin and welcome, I'm relatively new to working out with Cathe at home too, even though I'm a group fitness instructor - the distance to the gym was too great and I am really enjoying myself at home, especially the strength training. Look forward to chatting on the Forum, Liz N :)...

Dorothy, PM or email me at [email protected] - happy to help out! sincerely Liz N

Thanks for your replies - I can feel DOMS starting to settle in nicely...I was genuinely shocked when the third set of leg presses came up - I thought "is she for real?!". Luckily I hadn't previewed the workout, eh? Bye for now, Liz N

Hi guys, I have just done Muscle Endurance for the first time. I didn't bother previewing it, just stuck the tape in and went for it!. I have never done a leg press before and found doing them without any weight hard enough, but three (!) lots of them? My legs are fried and I was drenched...

gee, I thought that getting up at 4.55am was pretty darn good. My eating hasn't been too bad. I'm trying to drop the "dieting" mindset and focus on what tastes good. Breakfast: mixed grain cereal and skim milk + Cardio and Weights as an entree :) Cheers Liz N

thanks Trevor, you have solved a mystery for me too.

Hi Dorothy, What we refer to as the "core" includes the 4 layers of abdominal muscle - from outside in they are rectus abdominus (what gives you that six pack), external obliques (aid in twisting motions), internal obliques (provide stability) and transversus abdominus (provides stability and...

Dear Dorothy, I'm an exercise physiologist and have had a lot of trouble with this area myself - I'm extremely hypermobile (usually the case with SIJ problems) due to pregnancy/childbirth. Step aerobics isn't usually recommended for somebody with SIJ problems (Don't smack me for saying...

Kathy H, What's tilapia? Sounds interesting! Laurie - two Bodypump classes in a row? I would be so sore! Hello to Wayne and the other gals dinner yesterday: 3 slices thin base veggie pizza piece of birthday cake (Georgie is 2!) This morning: Step Blast...

Yes, I can't believe how convenient this is. I just have to get over the thought of DH coming out and seeing me do this. Step Blast this morning was a blast!

Gee Laurie, I think that I would love to have you as my personal chef. I am gleaning a lot of good ideas from you here. My day so far.... Run-walk 30minutes Bodycombat17 tracks 1-5 (I'm also a BTS instructor) Breakfast Bowl of mixed grain cereal 1 poached egg. To be continued...

Hi girls, Well I only have major DOMS in my abs and triceps! Today I went out for a run/walk (30mins) and did the first half of BodyCombat 17 (I used to teach Bodycombat). I'm really unfit, but I'm pleased to keep going. I've decided to try StepBlast tomorrow - I've previewed it and it...
