DH has no clue what to get me for Christmas so I was thinking of leading him to Cathe.com for a nice little Christmas order. I have a question about the high step - how many risers does one usually use. I notice that if you order it with risers it comes with four. Is that the amount she uses...

Nothing, nada, zilch -- oh, other than the fork to mouth repetitive workout. Could help my biceps if I put a heavy enough piece of pie on it, I guess... Heidi

This was posted last week sometime from the video fitness forum. Is this what you are looking for? (Hoping I post this link ok....): http://forum.videofitness.com/showthread.php?t=94096 Heidi

I would also recommend that if anyone has diffulty with choreo to do Cardio Fusion after learning the choreo on BM2. She doesn't break it down at all which made it difficult to follow initially. Now that I've done BM2 and have the choreo down, I think CF will go much more smoothly. I agree...

Thanks for the link, Adina, very interesting! I forwarded the link to my DH since he's got it now too but won't go to the doctor :( Perhaps these will help him - poor sap is on his feet all day in workboots and he's been miserable. Kate - OMG, barefoot workouts?! That makes me literally...

I hear ya, Kathryn :) Usually do BM after my am coffee - gets me going, lol... Heidi

The stretches I do that help are runner's stretches against a wall but more importanty calf stretches either off of a stair step or your workout step. I do these before and after. Really seem to help. Also, FYI, from what I learned from my foot dr. and other research on my own....heel spurs...

When I was first diagnosed, I really took it easy. My podiatrist ok'd the elliptical/exercise bike/swimming, but told me to go easy on anything higher impact at least during the initial 4-6 weeks of naproxen. I know how awful you feel when told to hold back when you are so used to being active...

Here's another vote from another vet in the house that says get him in sooner than Saturday! Be prepared for bloodwork at minimum +/- xrays as well. Let us know what you find out! Heidi

I, too, am a long-time PF sufferer. Well, it's definitely controlled at the moment,but I've really learned my limits with. With flip-flop season ending (well, at least in OH - it snowed today, blech), at least I don't have that temptation although TEVA mush flip flops served me well with my...

Shelbygirl, I got the big clunky kind, and I despise it! It feels too tight across my foot, and I end up kicking it off in the middle of the night. So, currently, I haven't been wearing one. I'd like to hear opinions about other night splints, though, because if the bootie version is...

I've been on Welbutrin, an anti-depressant, for my PMS and it does seem to help the extreme moodiness I was experiencing for the week prior to my period. I have had no adverse side effects at all. Previous anti-depressants had me with zero libido and weight gain, but this one has been fine...

RE: What is your favorite Pizza Peanut butter French fries Mmmm....I can't stop once I start eating any of these! Heidi

Fun thread! First car: 1981 Subaru Hatchback Current cars: 2004 Tahoe named "Sherman" 1998 Black VW Beetle named "Hamilton" Love, love, love my Tahoe. Will drive it until it gives out, I'm sure! Heidi

Watch what you get online and from pet stores - some are fraudulent/shipped from overseas and are counterfeit and NOT the same as you can get from your vet. Also, if you purchase HW prevention online and your pet by chance contracts heartworm (it *can* happen), the parent company will not pay...

Hi everyone, Quick question! I know how important weight training is for weight loss/maintenance/toning, etc. How does everyone here get in their weight training? Cathe DVD's only? Weight machines at gym or home? Free weights or machines?? I have the BootCamp/ME DVD and feel the ME...

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed responses - I appreciate it! I have my orthotics now - they are my new best friend :) I also went to a running store and got fitted with some awesome New Balance cross trainers. Unfortunately, I had to order my size so it will be 1-2 weeks. Thanks...

Hi everyone, I've been dealing with plantar fascitis for about 3-4 weeks now, and unfortunately have had to take a hiatus from Cathe :( Prior to going to the doctor,I had been doing LowMax and the Imax's almost regularly. I now have to do low impact ONLY until I'm healed. I'd like to think...

Thanks, Kathryn, I'll do some searching in the archives. I was curious if Cathe would give her opinion if she had one, but that's ok. I'll go check the archives out. Heidi
