    will dvd player play other Cathe dvds?

    I have a bunch of Cathe DVD's now, but one that I have won't play on my exercise DVD player. It's really odd. Just out of curiousity, which one is it? Mine is the Step Blast and Step, Jump and Pump DVD. Fortunately, it plays on my son's Play Station 2, which is on the same TV. Crazy!

    Substitutions for Tuck Jumps etc.

    I just finished High Step Challenge. It was fun, fast paced and certainly left me quivering and helpless. But, I can't do those tuck jumps and aerial jumping jacks. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to what I can substitute to get the aerobic benefit, but without falling flat on my face? I have...

    Any advanced exercisers tried the new dvd yet?

    Hi, I just got my DVD's yesterday. Tried the Low Impact this am. Started on the 8" step and finished on the 6". I have to exercise at 5 am on Fridays. I know I am not as energetic in the early am as afternoon, so I did adjust accordingly. I really enjoyed the workout. As usual, Cathe's cueing...

    RE: Part 1: How do you rotate cardio and strength train... Thanks, I have already eeked every workout minute I can out of my schedule. I get up at 5:00am to workout before I leave for work at 6:30. I don't think it's possible with taking care of my kids, working a high stress level job and...

    Part 1: How do you rotate cardio and strength training?

    RE: Part 1: How do you rotate cardio and strength train... I voted cardio and weights on separate days. I recently started doing this after I switched from doing all FIRM to mostly Cathe's workouts. I think I am seeing better results this way. But, my question is, I can work out 5 or 6 days per...

    Kick Max is awesome!

    I just go Kick Max too! I previewed it the other day. I think I will be tripping over my hands and feet. Did you have any problem following and keeping up with the choreography? I have never done kickboxing before.:) :-)

    Sore boobies?

    Hi Lori, My first clue when I was pregnant with both my kids was soreness! They also felt heavy, and warm. You are not so far away from the 31st either. Some of the home kits you can do pretty early, but if their negative, it still doesn't mean your not pregnant. It could also be PMS or even...

    Sounds reasonable, when do you throw the cardio in, the days between the splits? I only really have about an hour each day to work out, and on Fridays, even less. Thanks!:) :-)

    Doctor in trouble for calling patient obese

    Most physicians don't even know whether you are self pay, copay, medicare or medicaid. The business office and/or front desk takes care of all that before hand. I have several surgeons that I work with that have done procedures gratis because their patients were self pay. Believe me, the Dr. Fee...

    Doctor in trouble for calling patient obese

    How miserable that you are locked into a relationship with a physician that doesn't seem to mesh for you! I hate that insurance companies dictate who you can see and can't. I know, we could all pay out of the pocket to see a physician, but don't we all already pay a bunch of money to our...

    Doctor in trouble for calling patient obese

    They do sort of teach "bedside manner" in medical school. Unfortunately, there are way too many people who were too arrogant or whatever to listen to the wise older physicians on how to care for patients. There are also many patients who are nasty and difficult to deal with from the get go. BTW...
