It's been a few years since I had surgery (maybe 10-12), so I don't remember a ton. ;) I do remember that I walked a 5k fundraiser 2 days after surgery. I kind of held my stomach and took it slow, but the doctor said I could walk so ....!

Elsie, is perimyocarditis a minor thing? I worry about this most of all - I had Covid at Christmas and am still dealing with extreme fatigue every week or so. I'm sticking to intermediate and low key workouts because the first time I worked out post-Covid my heart rate spiked to 150 doing...

You can get the Peloton app for something like $13/month. I did that for a year (and then ultimately sold my spin bike and bought the Peloton).

Badass!

I'm 52 and I've definitely been changing the way I workout for the past year or two. I've noticed that after an intense cardio workout it takes longer to stop sweating and not be red-faced. I feel like I've used "getting older" as a reason to do more moderate workouts. I stopped hitting...

Your post reminded me of this video! ;)

Hi Levi! I've gone through so many ups and downs .... it's just life, I've decided. It's not something that I should beat myself up about! You were in a down period for a few years, but kudos to you for riding and loving riding for that period of time. My daughter rode for years, and I was...

Back in the day (ahem) when STS came out, everyone here was buying mats from Kiefer Flooring. When I ordered, I called and said I heard about them from the Cathe forums and got a discount. That was over 10 years ago, and my mats are still great, probably because they're for a commercial gym.

I'll follow you! I'm hokypoky_in_CO .... it's so much fun, isn't it?!! I've been doing the Power Zone workouts - whew! I'm a wet rag on those days! Dayna

Old thread but thanks for bringing it back! I've been in the mood to try a new cookie recipe LOL!

Intermittent fasting DEFINITELY helps with insulin resistance. There’s a lot of reviews of “Delay, Don’t Deny” on Amazon... I’ll bet you’d find mention of it there. Or, the Facebook group associated with it is One Meal A Day IF Lifestyle. You have to answer questions to join, such as you support...

Yes I fast daily - the key to success (and being easy to stick to) is fasting clean, only black coffee, plain water or green tea during the fast. No artificial sweeteners, no “natural flavors”, no gum, mints, anything that could spike insulin. There’s quite a science behind it! I think the...

Well, I am 50 and post-menopausal and I lost 30 pounds a year ago with intermittent fasting.... I highly recommend the book "Delay Don't Deny" or any advice from Gin Stephens. The weight came off easily, and I don't track anything at all. I fast about 20 hours a day, but the minimum...

YES YES YES! Disclaimer: I do not have the Pelaton bike (yet!) but I do spin with the app. It is so much fun! My friend thanks me every time I see her for telling her about it LOL. There is so much variety, so many instructors, different intensities, length of workouts .... I watch the app...

What about Turbo Barre? I think it's a great all over workout, gentle on your joints and you can work up to the intensity.

My daughter LOVES PrAna .... she has expensive tastes LOL. It's excellent quality.

I know! I will buy either the Pelaton or the Keiser mentioned above (they are smooth like butter) once my Schwinn gives out....

That’s what I use.... my twice-a-week spin class at the gym was cancelled after 10 years, and as much as I [emoji173]️Cathe’s spin workouts, I needed a lot more variety. I put my iPad on the windowsill, push my bike up close and added a Bluetooth speaker. You can do a 14-day free trial and...

I use the Pelaton app $13/month with my regular spin bike.... the classes are fabulous!

If you use a thermos, put boiling water in it as soon as you wake up - keeps the food hotter longer!
