    How to get DH

    MJ in MN I can be of no help here as I am having the same problem with my husband. It is very frusturating, I know. He built me a wonderful workout room and never uses it himself. Go figure... Anyway, I am writing because my husband eats PB and Cheese sandwiches too! I thought I had...

    Close Encounters Of The Cathe Kind

    Hi to you too Joanne! How is that tennis game of yours? Been biking much this summer? Sounds like you all had a blast at Cathe's gym... sure wish I could have joined in the fun. We should plan another Mpls meeting. Maybe a hike some afternoon at Afton or something. Keep in touch. Nancy

    Close Encounters Of The Cathe Kind

    A-Jock That is hilarious! On my way in to work today I was concocting my own version of yesterday's meeting. That was so funny and I have been giggling to myself ever since at how freaked out you must have been when I said Aquajock! I think the title of my post was going to be that I met...

    Darla What a great article! I laughed out loud and it made me really wish I could have been there. The weekend sounded like a total blast. And, I have seen a cheeto before so I would have been in the back with you! Ha. Thanks again... it was a great read and I can totally relate. Nancy

    Wisconsin Dells vacation pictures!

    Thanks for the info ladies. We have stayed at so many hotels with water parks that we sort of put that on the lower end of the priority list and thought we could opt for a really cool one if it was hot while we were there. Sometimes at the end of August the weather is unpredictable. Now I am...

    Your school best friend and where are they at now?

    My best friend is from kindergarten and that was 36 years ago! We have been best friends ever since. Through different colleges, states, you name it. Now we are both 40 (ugh.... it can't really be!) and I am married with kids living in a suburb close to where we grew up and she is single...

    GS workouts: this is SOOOOO annoying!!

    Total agreement here, Kathryn. Not nearly as good as previous DVD's. I can work with it (using pause/rewind) but it seems to be more effort than necessary. Hopefully the next series will have better chaptering. Nancy

    Terminator and knees

    Toe Arthritis?

    Thanks Lois and Amy. Lois, it does sound like the same thing you have, comes and goes. It has been worse these past 2 days and certain shoes make it worse. Interesting that a chiropracter can help it.. wouldn't have thought of that. Thanks again. Nancy Guess I will be biking and doing...

    Toe Arthritis?

    Hi all This may sound wierd... but, I think my big toe has arthritis sometimes as it is sore when I bend it. Does anyone else experience this and if so have you found any relief? Sure makes lunges a little uncomfortable at times! Even walking sometimes. Yuck! Any input is welcome...

    so, what keeps you disciplined ...

    I had to really think about this because it is just a habit at this stage in my life, I have been doing it for so long. But, I guess I keep it up because... 1. Sense of accomplishment (as Cathe says in Bootcamp "Don't you feel so accomplished". YES!) 2. Build confidence and I feel really...

    DVD Question

    how do YOU modify PUB?

    Thanks for the good ideas ladies. The only real modifications I have made is when I am short on time I do the up only with the heaviest weight I can and then just do the pyramid in reps not weight. Pinky-great idea for making 25/30 lb DB. I have been thinking I need to buy some but I will...

    Lats on FIRE!

    Holy buckets! I did the CTX Kickbox section followed by the Cardio Kicks drill section followed by the CTX Kickbox abs and stretch and all I can say is YOWZA! I don't think I have ever been this sore in my lats. If you are looking for a good lat workout, here you go. Have fun, Nancy
