treats Hi, Everyone's definition of a treat is different. My family always looks at something that resembles a sweet and the first words out of their mouths are, "Is this healthy?" Many times I've tried to create a 'healthy' treat only to have it fall flat on it's face for taste and...

I'm not single, but I do work quite a bit and I'm sick of everything that I've been eating lately. I probably eat a salad with some sort of protein 5 nights a week. Recently, I can hardly get the salads down. I can't eat anymore brocolli! I thought I was doing myself a favor last week and made...

work computers Hi, At my work they can access any website page that you have accessed with the click of a button. It just brings up a long list. Also, which I didn't know, is that deleted files are not really deleted. I thought I had mistakenly deleted a file and the tech guy came in with 3...

snack Hi, I never eat out of the bag or container. I find if I loosely measure out what I intend to eat before I start, I have much better control. Luckily I've finally got my enitire family eating pretty healthy and they don't want any junk in the house. That really helps! Tracy

Amy's Hi, I love hi/lo knockout. The music just clicks with me and the combos are really fun. Then comes hi/lo extreme; it's almost gets as many endorphins going as a long run! I just bought Surge because of the 50% off from CIA and I can't wait to try it. The step is also great fun, but...

discs Hi, I herniated L4 /L5 and herniated and exuded L5/ S1 a little over 2 years ago. I freaked out when the dr suggested steriod epidurals, which I refused, although they are a common non-invasive treatment. I had the same foot drop, tingling, and a calf muscle that wouldn't work at all. I...

weight Hi, I woke up about 3 years ago with the same feeling, although my gain was probably only one size. It wasn't any fun! For me it was the snacks. Since doing STS I've gone from a 0 to a 00. I've been doing step for years too. This might be a time to be BRUTALLY honest about your diet...

cardio I vote for Amy Bento. The music is good, the choreography is complex, and the workouts are tough. I love her hi/lo and I hated it before I found her workouts. The workouts are not always perfect and you may have to modify a few moves, but to me it's worth it. Tracy

dingy whites Hi, My whites are dingy too. We have very hard water and I'm sure that is part of the problem. I tried a mixture of laudry detergent, liquid dish soap, and simple green yesterday and they didn't look quite as dull. Liquid dish soap gets lots of stains out for me. My solution is...

advice Hi, I work with students with a host of disabilities and my advice is always have high expectations and early intervention is key. The gains that kids make are fastest in the early years and generally decrease as they get older. I just heard this week that a student I had for 3rd...

saddlebags Hi, What helped get rid of my saddlebags was (and it took time), 1. Several months of Cathe's leg rotations off and on 2. Progressive sprinting uphill last spring for 3 months done at the end of a run (I plan to start that again soon). Week 1, one 10 second uphill sprint, week 2...

best abs Hi, I've been doing an ab routine from Oxygen once a week, I think it was the last issue. It has really strengthened my core. The original routine actually came from Jack LaLane. It is 2 variations of hip lifts, straight leg in and outs off the bench, and oblique crunches/twists with...

legs Hi, I'm doing plyo legs plus a day of some sort of weighted leg work. I haven't decided what yet, but this combination has worked wonders for my legs. Actually, I've been doing plyo regularly for some time now and my legs are much stronger than the weight my back (my limiting factor)...

results Hi, What works best for me is following a rotation. For years, I did my own thing and the results were OK. Since I've been following rotations, whether it's Cathe's or a some other pre-planned rotation, I've gotten good results. Everytime I get good results with one rotation, then I...

bloat Hi, For me it's oatmeal and egg whites. It's so bad that I won't either them in the morning anymore because by noon I look like I'm 4 months pregnant. Oh, and I even made some healthy waffles with oat flour and it was worse, so I haven't made any more of those either. Tracy

weight loss Hi, My son, who is 21, on his own lost about 50 pounds 2-3 years ago, then another 20 in the past year. He's commented to me multiple times that losing the 70 was all about diet. He did not workout, but he changed what he ate and how much of it. He's now trying to lose the last 15...

neuroma Hi, I don't have it, but my assistant at work has it and there are times when she is pretty darn miserable. I'm not sure that she really ever is out of pain, but when she gets these injections, she can barely walk. She has opted not to get surgery and live with it. Tracy

info Hi, I'm late 40's and exactly the opposite. Mine are light or almost non-existent. I guess I shouldn't complain:) Most people I know that are my age are exactly the opposite. Tracy

weights Hi, I've had the same problem and just given up. I save my cards and transfer weights or adjust accordingly. Tracy

smart dogs Hi, My dobies made it to #5, and that's what I love about the breed. I'm suprised that the Aussies didn't make the list. I have to admit though, my Aussie is trainable, but he may not necessarily be smart. There is a difference. Tracy
