Hi all, I'm 36, 8 weeks pregnant with my first child and feel great! No sickness, just feeling exausted, but still able to get exercise in at the end of the day. I'm wondering what exercises are safe to do throughout pregnancy. I've read somethings online that discourage lifting weights...

I'm not Cathe and not a doctor, but I have knee problems. If the shoes don't make a difference, I'd still suggest going to your doctor. They may send you to an orthopedic specialist, but my 'aching' turned out to be osteoarthritis in my kness and I'm only 36. In my case they think it's from...

I second your thoughts. I was appalled as well when I saw that thread. I don't come on here too often and couldn't believe it. Some people just have too much time on their hands and need to find something better to do with it. Sitting and watching this site minute after minute/everyday for an...

Ok guys, did you see the show where Vaugh was shot like 20 times in the chest? There's absolutely no way he's alive. Sydney was halucinating/dreaming and it was her way of accepting his death. I think the wrap up should be good though with her mother and Sloan. He'll turn into the bad guy...

I've never used that, but I did use Retin-A, Differin and a bunch of other stuff that was contantly drying out my skin. I even tried Pro-active and that wasn't the greatest. What I have found that is similar to Proactive is Klear Action, it's sold at Walgreen's. It's supposed to work like...

They can also be tension headaches caused from tight muscles in the back and shoulders. Be sure you stretch after all of your weight sessions. I had the same problems and using one of Cathes stretching routines has helped tremendously!

Hey everyone, thanks for the advise. I'll try the stretching. Unfortunately, that's always the one thing that just doesn't make it into the workout when I'm short on time. I do have her new stretch max, so I'll have to start using it on a daily basis. I do add in Windsor Pilates, but...

Hi all, I'm 35 about 5'10'' and 170 lbs. I exercise on a regular basis about 5-6 times a week. Try to fit in 2-3 wieght sessions and 3-4 cardio. My problem is that when I do upper body stuff, my muscles get really tight and I get tons of knots. I get massages on a regular basis 1-2 month...

Hi Erica, I too have knee problems. Initially, I had pain and for the longest time was told to take Ibuprophen to control the swelling. They ordered physical therapy and put me on NSAIDs. They prescribe it to keep the swelling down and in some cases it can help being on it for a few months...

Cathe, I love Stretch Max. This is just what I needed. I often get sore from stress at work, sitting all day and weight lifting. Now, I can just pop in one of these and relax. This is most EXCELLENT! Yay! Anne::7

I've been taking Women's mega vitamins from GNC for a couple of years now. If I forget to take them even one day, I feel really drained and tired. Also, I never have a problem with iron when I go to the doctor. They're pretty big pills, but they're well worth it if you don't get as many...

RE: Arthroscopic knee surgery - How long 'till back to ... Thanks for all the advise everyone! I had my follow-up visit and there was no loose body, but a meniscus tear was repaired and I have early signs of arthritis in that knee. She said eventually, I may need a whole knee replacement when...

I always hated coffee, but started drinking Starbuck latte's about 2 years ago. I've now quit. I was at the doctor recently and I'd been noticing some lumps in the breasts. She mentioned that caffeine can cause a lot of fibrous tissue to appear. Nothing to worry about, but I don't need that...

RE: Arthroscopic knee surgery - How long 'till back to ... I was able to do a lot of her higher impact step aerobics, but some of the one's with a lot of twisting over the step is what would aggravate it the most. That's when it would swell up to the point where I couldn't exercise again, a...

RE: Arthroscopic knee surgery - How long 'till back to ... My knee didn't "lock" (that's worse), but was getting "caught" and it would feel like it would give out under me for about a month prior to my surgery. That was serious enough for them to warrant surgery for me. I can actually get...

If it is really painful and not allowing you to do your normal routine, I would definitely get it checked out. After 3 years, I've tried glucosamine, physical therapy (3 months strengthening exercises)and finally I've hopefully resolved it with arthroscopic knee surgery. My symptoms were just...

I'm 34 years old and I had arthroscopic surgery on 12/8 and am wondering how long I can expect to recover and when I might be back to normal routine. I just had a "loose body" removed and a bunch of cartilage clean up work done on my knee. It's almost been a week and I'm climbing stairs and...

Oyyy evayyyyyy! My head is spinning from this one. I've always been one to have difficulty with your more involved step tapes and this one takes the cake!!! I estimate it'll take me at least 2 viewings and 5 tries before getting it down, but when I do I know I'll have fun and get a great...

Oh my Gosh! Boot camp kicked my booty! It takes me back to the days in grade school when we had to do push ups and those army squat thrust things. What a great workout Cathe!!! Every muscle in my body felt that. This one will keep me busy for a while, that's for sure. I can't wait to try...
