Okay, the sweating mechanism is interesting, but what I'm wondering is, if it takes your heart rate forever to get up in your target zone and then a little longer for it to make up its mind to stay there (so it seems), what does that mean? I've been told that that means you're pretty fit. Just...

Good point, Candi. I've noticed it, too. It seems our younger girls are either starving and vomiting themselves skinny or are ballooning into a condition they'll wind up battling all their lives! The hip-huggers they're wearing these days are really not as great as what we called hip-huggers...

Oh to be back in my 30's....not:) I had to laugh...only 38 and already worrying...well, you're right about thinking ahead really. I'm 51 and I just refuse to just sit around and grow old. Oh, I have grey hair already, and my joints will be crankier as the weather gets colder now, but I'm...

There is a problem in Hollywood...when I read (don't recall where) that Catherine Zeta-Jones and another really lovely actress are considered "big", I take issue. I understand the pressures of the business they're all in and the warped way society views them and yes, I'm willing to bet a lot of...

Hi, Julia! Congratulations on the loss of 50# and quitting smoking...you're one awesome lady! I'm 51 and have been doing a lot of Cathe lately (only discovered her last year), but I've been working out off and on for nearly 20 years. The last two years have been my best and most consistent...

Olivia, you're not alone. But as a long-time exerciser with Cathe, you probably know better than me (I only discovered Cathe about 18 months ago) that what looks impossible now will be very doable someday...maybe sooner than you think. I haven't mastered pikes on the ball, but every time we...

I can't find all the parts of our barbell...they're buried in our garage somewhere:) So I use my dumbells. When the sculpting stick came out I noticed that I had problems handling it when across my shoulders...right elbow is messed up with due to a break that mended a little out of whack and I...

Oh, yes, doing the same thing over and over is asking for trouble. Especially as you age; everything you did as a crazy young kid comes back to haunt you! I am just getting back into stepping after a knee injury and I'm betting the physical therapists and doctors would have a fit to know that:)...

I don't expect to ever be just like Cathe. For one thing I'm starting a little later than her, actually starting over, but at 51 and without taking earlier precautions to keep in shape and not put on all that weight, I am happy with where I am today. I'm down 50 pounds from about 18 months ago...

Hi, everyone! Wendy, sorry about your boss...I'm always praying our will retire:) (He's over 70, so he can; but his age isn't the problem; heck, my 83 yo dad is sharper than this guy!) My Body Blasts arrived (where are the Intensities I ordered over a week ago????), so I did...

Good luck, Valerie! I don't know why the meds insist on such low calorie intakes. They also can be unrealistic about correct weights, too. I did have one doctor tell me if I got down to 140 (on a 5' frame, large boned, but still...), he would be happy. I think it was the same one who scolded...

Hi, Wendy, thanks for the BodyBlast encouragement...I really like the Timesavers...did #4 this afternoon and I'm thinking KPC is a killer...and there's no step involved!!! Yup, that is the one with the tropical segment (which I love! also the one that starts with the "Popeye" arms and...

Valerie and Jordan, I've been reading this thread and finally decided to sort of jump in (was going to say "weigh in", but that sounded hoky..). I think the dietician is giving you the best advice she has and it's the same thing you'll probably always get from the medical establishment. A...

Mari, that's great that your child made the team's only point...even if it was the only one:) Well, I caved...ordered the Body Blast series...yikes, is my cc burning! I have the Timesaver dvd and really like the routines I've done so far. But I did Kathy Smith's Weightloss Workout...that's...

Hi, Courtney, You've been given some great advice and as a fellow Weight Watcher (flex plan), I have to agree with Carol and Amy (great page BTW...wtg, girl:)). At our 6 week weigh-in, I'd lost just over 16 pounds. As to the workouts, you're packing some intense stuff into only a few...

Evening, ladies, Another Timesaver tonight...this time #3. Yep, I'm consistent, sometimes. This dvd is a great promo for the Body Blast series...I'm beginning to want this now!!! I've noticed a different "feel" to using bands vs. weights. But I'm still not crazy about them, the bands. I...

Cathe undoubtedly does take you to the next level of fitness...but like Deanna said, sometimes I need the variety of style, faces, personalities and sometimes just something easier:) I still like Karen Voight, Debbie Seibers, Kathy Smith (she has some great lower intensity, but long enough...

It says on the Fit and Firm that it was released in 2000, but I don't think that girl on the cover looks quite like Cathe. Wasn't her hair longer? It does seem sort of weird...didn't see the others.

I can't see why anyone would think you're fighting with your neighbor, Lori. Sounds to me like you're very concerned about her and want to help her out. And you've been given the best advice on that, invite her over for a cup of coffee and hopefully you two will be able to strike up...

Jack LaLanne is one of my DH's heroes (along with Joe Weider:)). I'll have to pass along your news of his 90th b'day, Debra! Thanks for sharing. And, like you said, I'll bet he has something up his sleeve for the event!!!
