    Spin dvd recommendations needed

    Spin Vid Recs I just got a new spin bike too. I purchased two Mindy Mylrea spin videos - Cycle Strong and Tri-Cycle. Both have pre-mixes with shorter workout options. The music is not the greatest, but there is a music off option, so you could add your own while keeping Mindy's instruction...

    Question for Educated Spinning Types

    Thank You Everyone, Thank you for your input. My bike has the cages. Since I would rather be safe than sorry, I will be picking up a pair of bike shoes. Thanks again, Juice

    Question for Educated Spinning Types

    So I recently purchased a "Spinner Fit" spin bike. I bought it for rehab and crosstraining purposes, so I plan to use it at most 2 times per week. I am really looking forward to Cathe's new spin vid! Here's my question: Do I really need to purchase bike shoes for my spin workouts? Since...

    Casey Anthony-Your Thoughts

    Sorry Carola, but that is not what I wrote. I have indeed seen guilty people go free due to defense attorney's shenanigans. Many many many many many times. It turns my stomach just like this case does. That said, it also turns my stomach when I hear about innocent people who have been...

    Casey Anthony-Your Thoughts

    Having been a police officer for the past 26 years, with 5 of those spent investigating crimes involving youth and children, I can personally report that there is no case that will cause a police detective to work harder than one that involves the death of a child. This, despite the SERIOUSLY...

    Another rebounder Q: Is it intense enough?

    Hello Educated Crowd, Several years ago, I tried a rebounder, but I seem to recall that I did not get a very challenging workout. While I love doing HIIT-style workouts, now that I am older (as are my knees), I am wondering if I could do some of the higher-impact moves on a rebounder without...

    Does MMA hurt your back?

    Nope, not at all. Hope you feel better soon though!

    Keep doing what you're doing Cathe!

    Civility please! I am a long-time Cathe fan (since 1992) and long-time lurker. For the record, I am thrilled with Shock Cardio - it is exactly what I needed! Personally, I am not missing the full-length cooldowns. It seems like such a minor detail compared to the high quality and variety of...

    Kwame Kilpatrick expected to plead guilty on Thursday

    A big Amen to that Jennifer! In addition to all of the embarassment he's caused us, I get sick to my stomach thinking about all of the money he that he has essentially embezzled from the citizens of Detroit (my former hometown; now I live in Troy MI). Money that they can ill afford to...

    Why is my Mom such a *#*%*???

    Jeez, sounds like you have way more than your share right now. I am so sorry to hear about all that you are going through. If I were in your shoes, I would make it a priority to get myself a compassionate therapist that I felt comfortable working with. It doesn't sound like you've gotten...

    Slanted Risers, which Cathe workouts are you using them with?

    RE: Slanted Risers, which Cathe workouts are you using ... Carolyn, If you aren't planning on using the risers to form a ramp-type apparatus for cardio, then I think you would be fine with only one riser. I am currently only using them to make a more stable incline/decline bench, and all I...

    I am offended

    May I respectfully point out that not all black people are African-Americans? And not every black person living or present in the United States is an American. Some may be Jamaican nationals or of Caribbean descent, for example, and it is therefore presumptuous to refer to them as African...

    Abs on Stability Ball

    I forgot to mention that you may want to check that your ball is inflated properly and is quite firm to the touch. It makes a huge difference in difficulty for me!
