Wow, I must be doing something right because I find ab work on the ball to be much more intense! To the point where I do them on the floor when I want an easier workout. I am very picky about form, so maybe that is the reason? Not to say that y'all are doing them improperly, but I do feel...

RE: New series--please consider showing us how to modif... I couldn't help but jump in here with a substitution for ricochets, since I have found one that works well for me. I do a two-knee repeater followed by a jack on the floor. The jack on the floor leaves you in a position to lead with...

I was one month shy of 34 when I first married...and that was too young!!! Please don't allow societal pressure to allow you to feel like a failure. You are the only one who can or should decide what is "too old." The older I get, the more I realize that life frequently doesn't turn out...

Hi Andrea, You may not be aware of this, but this question has come up periodically, and Cathe has answered it before. I suggest you try doing a search on this topic. Good Luck!

I usually go commando. My solution to the, er, frequent washing dilemma is to stick a panty shield on the crotch of the pants I happen to be wearing. Sometimes I add a little double-sided tape to make sure that things don't shift around on me. Anyway, this works well for me and is extemely...

Great idea and very kind of you to take the time to do this Jordan!

Amen Clare! As for me, he didn't change his name, so I didn't change mine...

Another satisfied Botox customer here. Like someone else said, for me it has become a must, in the same way my cell phone has. I do between my eyebrows, crow's feet and forehead and I go 2-3 per year, since age 40. Am 46 now. I, too, have never had any negative side effects.

I do cardio 4-5 days per week, strength 3-4 days per week. I buy two pairs of good shoes every six months and then alternate wearing them. I used to have significant feet problems, but no more.

RE: Government Employees, Unions and Management My, this is a touchy subject! While I completely understand LauraMax's and others' frustration, I agree with Donnamarie and Dave in that there is really no need to paint all union members/civil servants/government workers with the same brush...

Hi Kim, I find IMAX 3 to be the most fun, but also the easiest - which is probably why it is my favorite!

Happy Belated 50th Birthday Kathryn, So very sorry to hear of your recent losses. I have been reading your posts for a few years now, though I don't often post myself. I have long appreciated your thoughts and viewpoints and also the fact that you take the time to share your knowledge...

Hi OP - The American Council on Exercise (ACE) published a study regarding the most effective glute exercises in ACE Fitness Matters (Jan/Feb 2006). The following exercises were identified as the most effective (in order): 1)Quadrupeds (leg lifts or "pizza presses", as Cathe calls them in...

Good point Beavs! I guess I am the exception because I have recently (in the past year) begun drinking much more wine than I ever have. Learning more about wine has become a kind of a hobby for me. Anyway, I have also noticed that my cellulite level is at an all-time low (age 46). My...

Hi Noel, Here's another vote for the Amy Bento, Tracey Staehle and Kelly Coffey workouts. I have their respective step workouts (along with Amy's All-Pump Extreme and Hi-Lo Extreme) and I find them every bit as challenging as Cathe's workouts. In some cases, more so. Tracey's and...

Hi - Another vote for ACE. You may want to do a search on this question. It just came up a few weeks ago and Cathe answered too. She also recommended ACE.

Yep. I have it and have done it several times, although I have not done the leg work as yet, since I have been focusing on B&G. With the exception of the would-be pullups at the start of the back section, I find it enjoyable and effective. I feel very well worked-out afterward. I also...

Hi Candy, I have Amy's All Pump, but not Team Boot Camp. I am really pleased with my All Pump purchase. It is a lengthy strength training DVD, with many great pre-mix options, so IMHO it is a great value. Hope this helps.
