    Why no background modifiers?

    RE: Just a couple of thoughts to add here... Hi CJ! I see you've gotten some replies but I just wanted to give my point of view seeing as you referred to "older exercisers" in your first post, and I guess I fit that category since I turned 50 last year. ;) I've also been working out almost...

    Need to vent about dishonest seller of Cathe DVDs!!

    This happened to me once with Firm tapes (I think the core cardios) I got 2 sets. I even emailed Cathy Sovde and told her, she told me to keep them! Well I couldn't just sell them, and at the time I "knew" someone on the firm list who had just had baby #3 and couldn't afford new videos, so I...

    The UK is very NOISY tonight (Vent)

    I live in Connecticut but it always struck me as funny that a "holiday" would be named after the bad guy. My birthday is November 5th, and I've been an Anglophile my whole life, so since I was very young I knew it was Guy Fawkes day...so I always mention it when people wish me happy birthday...

    It can be a gradual process lasting 10 years or more! I'm 49 and have been going thru it for at least 5 years. I found a site that has some good info along with a chart to track daily symptoms. Here is a link: http://www.earlymenopause.com/symptoms.htm Good luck! Barbara P

    outsmarting midlife fat cells...

    RE: lifestyle and genetics Oh dear I certainly hope this is not the case. I don't have that book, did she talk about differences between women who exercise and those who don't? I'm turning 50 next year...I have noticed that my waist is a bit thicker but it has always been very small in...

    Do I Have To Stop At 60 Years Old?

    Why? My mom will be 70 in a few months and does step 3 times a week at the Y, immediately after her swim which is over a mile. She swims every day, and is on a Masters' team and holds several records. She also lifts weights once or twice a week. She shows no sign of slowing down. I will be...

    Morning exercisers... Need help!

    I was never a morning person in my life until May 1987 when I decided to change from after work workouts to mornings. I don't use a snooze button, I don't even know how it works on my clock. I just made up my mind I'm going to get up and workout....I made one decision in May, '87, there is no...

    Cathe's WONDERFUL Customer Service!!

    I rewound my Cross Trainer Kickbox/Biceps tape today and it broke!! The tape just broke right in half. I tried a couple of other (unimportant) tapes in the VCR and they played just fine, so I don't think it was the VCR. However you can't get just ONE of the CTX 6-pack tapes. So I called Step...
