    what do you think of when swimming laps?

    >>>>I've been competitively swimming for 11 years now and I was always told that a lap was one length of the pool--that's how the terminology has always been used at the pools I've been to. Intersting, though. I never knew it was an issue of debate. I would love to hear more about this>>>>...

    >A "lap" is one lenght of the pool--not round trip. :) > > There is much confusion on this, after 27 years of swimming laps, I have run into many people who say lap meaning round trip and some who mean length. My mom, who has been a Masters swimmer for about the same length of time, has...

    what do you think of when swimming laps?

    LOL! It's changed over the years. When I first started swimming laps 27 years ago it was please, let me make it to the end. please, don't let me drown. please, let me be able to lift up my arm. I literally hung on at the deep end for dear life. Now I usually think about stuff I...

    Swimming and appetite

    I've been a daily lap swimmer for 27 years now. When I first started, I was STARVING when I finished and had to eat. But it hasn't been like that in years, many years. Probably the first 6 months to year I was like that but not any more. Sometimes I don't eat for several hours after I swim...

    An Update on the Freezing Issue!

    I've only done Low Impact circuit so far, and the only "problem" was a 'skip' in the music, like on an album, but it was barely there. The workout was AWESOME and well worth waiting for! barbara p

    A question about the pre-orders

    "I don't see a record of the order on cathe.com." Is there a way to look up your order on cathe.com? I no longer have my confirmation email since I pre ordered waaaay back on the first day, over a year ago I think. My card was charged though. barbara P

    Swimming for weight loss/strength gains?

    Congrats on the pool! I think the jury is out on weight loss when swimming. Personally, I have known many who have lost weight, but many who havent'. I personally did, but when I swim, it is NOT an easy, slow stroke, I swim all out for 2500 yards. I have been a daily lap swimmer for 25...

    The "skinny" conversations got me thinking...

    RE: The Scales are evil. If you took a container of muscle, and the same size container of fat, the muscle would weigh much more. Same in your body. Like a box of lead and another of styrofoam. Many years ago, my best friend was nick named "twig". You can imagine what she looked like...

    Curtsy Dips

    I love curtsey dips. However, in most workouts I have I think they are not performed with the best form, I think the knee should be over the ankle straight up and down and not at an angle. The angle will torque the knee. When I do them with my lower leg straight up and down I can REALLY feel...

    Cathe is in today's Wall Street Journal

    It's actually an article about Fit TV, and mostly about Sharon Mann, but at the end they say: "The most challenging of all the segments is "Cardio Blast" (9:00 am), whose Cathe Friedrich, a petite-yet-thewy weightlifter, is forever exclaiming: "It's getting warm in here!". She's a veritable...

    Bare Minerals Foundation Question

    Hi! The Bisque is the concealer. I think it works very well. As far as foundation, like everyone said, less is more. A small jar of foundation lasts me FOREVER. Did you get the video with it? It explains how to use it. If you don't, try qvc at this link, they have little video clips to...
