The first time I do a new Cathe workout, I make a list of each exercise in a 1/2-page size spiral notebook. Then I make a column for Cathe's weight (easier, of course, to do this with her older workouts) and then my column. I have collected most of her workouts over the years, and the more I...

Yay for the short list! Well, here's a little bit about Colorado Springs. Since it IS a sprawling city, there is a lot of variety and I've lived in 5 different houses so I can tell you a little bit. Plus DH used to have a plumbing / heating company so .... Of course, size matters when it...

I love, love, love Colorado! I moved here right out of college (20 years ago - ack!) and have never wanted to live anywhere else. I grew up in California, the Phillippines, and northern Virginia/DC area. I left VA because I couldn't stand the humidity and the traffic. Over the years...

I don't know if this is relevant, but .... I had a friend who dated a guy that she desperately wished would give her roses, call her, send cards, etc. The soft side. What she didn't get was that he changed the oil in her car for her, mowed the lawn, etc. His "soft side" was expressed...

Thanks for posting that, Katerchen. I learned something new! When I read that endo's might not like jumping, it made me feel better about my dread toward the Hiit-type workouts. I love spinning, endurance running, kickboxing and everything else Cathe but ..... I have to be really pumped and...

I have the same problem area - when I was in college, I joined some friends at the gym, not really knowing (or caring) what exercises did what. I thought I was so cool at the leg presses, kept piling on the weight .... until I realized how tight my pants were in the calf area! Now when I'm...

Do you have to have a Mac to use iMovie? I love the idea of putting everything together for the year - I definitely work in spurts. I only develop/upload photos once or twice a year!

I have tons of home movies/short clips from video cameras, flip videos, iPhone videos and I'm determined to organize them this summer. What do you use to put your videos together? Do you put them on DVDs or just watch them on your computer? I'm trying to reign this beast of a project in...

This flooring was discussed quite a bit in the STS forum - it's what I've got in my basement. Love it! AND I got a discount for mentioning I read about it on Cathe. PaviGym Aerobic Group-X Floor Tiles As for sticking, yes, when I pivot to the back when doing step, my shoes grab a little...

Try this: instead of concentrating on getting your feet to move so quickly, sink down and back a bit, taking some of the weight off your feet and shifting it toward your rear, and think about bringing your knees up instead. For me it's easier to execute it as an upward motion with the knees...

I was in a rut last year and decided to do all circuit workouts. It was a lot of fun and it's amazing how many premixes are circuits. I just would pick whichever one sounded from - I think I had 10 or so on my list - and it was something I was able to stick to. I was also motivated because...

Good luck! Sounds like an opportunity for a Colorado get-together! :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Colorado Springs! I've been here almost 20 years, moved here right out of college. I still remember driving here from the east, the mountains getting bigger and bigger and thinking, how close am I going to get to those mountains? I couldn't believe it when my destination...

Hi Shayne, this is becoming more and more prevalent all the time. Did you know that off all the people that are estimated to have Celiac's Disease, only 10% of them have been diagnosed? That means the other 90% are walking around, suffering and wondering what's the matter! My 11-year was...

Asics all the way! You can go to the Asics website and figure out which models would be best for you, based on your pronation. THEN go to Zappos.com and read the reviews from customers. I have high arches plus need a wider toe box and have a pair of the Asics Pulse 2 on the way right now...

I also find that it helps to squat down low, bending your knees, weight back. Then the action is more bringing your knees UP than having more weight to shuffle side to side.

Well, not sure if your son likes American Idol, but we did this theme when DD turned 8. She had both boys and girls, and the boys were more into it than the girls! I sent out "golden ticket" invites (printed at home), borrowed a karaoke machine and asked the kids to let me know ahead of time...

Thank you Laina. That is exactly what I needed. Direction from someone who understands STS and the importance of fitness. Thank you for taking a moment for me. Now I can put it out of my mind for now. :P

You know how people say that when someone passes away? Well, my dad just suddenly passed away yesterday and yes, please, there's something you can do. I've searched and found somewhat similar questions, but I'm tired and was hoping someone could just make this decision for me. I was...

Pam, you are obviously a great mom and I'll bet a lot of what you're saying is getting through...keep being consistent and unrelentless about teaching kindness and selflessness. A few years ago both of my girls were acting ungrateful and materialistic, I thought, and fighting too much. I...
