RE: CATHE's reply I bet something like this rigged up with a band or tubing would more closely approximate the effect of the leg extension machine! :-)

I got a similar bargain years ago, got my step from someone who wasn't using it,for $5! Good for you!!

Same to you my dear! And to all my pals here on the forum, and the teams working, as Bubachick said. :)

Lunges work your legs in a complimenary way to squats. They put the stresses on different muscles so that when you get too tuckered out (muscle fatigue) to do more squats, you can still do 32 lunges, or vice versa. Step-ups are another excellent variety. All the exercises mixed together far...

I am a registered dental hygienist like Wendy, and I love it too! Especially now that my employer has sold the practice to a new young dentist who wants to start our day 1/2 hour later and (whoo-hoo) have a half hour longer lunch and (whoo-hoo!) leave at the same time (5:00)! I don't care...

I vote for CTX too. It's a jackpot.

Always, shoulders and abs, like SusanZ.

Yeah! Huh! What they said! I like those shoes too. Interested in where to find shoes like that to try on.

You can find out a ton of info at the forum at turnstep: http://tbb.turnstep.com/cgi/bb I get my best music for GFMix.com. One of my faves is Cathe Vol.1. Don't worry. Just take it a step ;) at a time. Make up a few combos and use them as workouts. Try cuing each move ahead of time. Make...

Hi Susan! It took me about 4 to 6 hours to think up the first routine (that is, 6 32-count combos) but now I can think them up much faster. Knowing which moves change leads, and how to adapt if the class does not pick them all up fast (adding or subtracting lead-changing combos or moves) gets...

What Lori said is such excellent advice. Lori you are so right on there. Wayne, listen to her. My heart goes out to you, kid. I have been there too. I bet we all have. It *will* get better!

That's excellent news! You guys are "the man!"

Hi Susan, Debbie, Carol, and Jo! I have been teaching regularly since May 2004. Before that I was a sub for a few months.:) :)

Wow, you guys are so nice to ask! It's going great! Every week it gets smoother. I teach Saturday Morning, 9:30, Step 2. It's a whole new step in fitness, being an instructor. It's so nice to be paid- even if it's only 12 bucks- LOL! Another nice thing is there is no way I can skip the...

I remember when my computer crashed about a year ago. I was really missing you guys on this forum! I was wondering what would happen if I died (I come from an emotional Greek background)-- how would I let you all know?? But, the computer got fixed, and I did peek into the forum from work...

Sandra, I always use the upper body section of BodyMax as its own workout! And yes I pause to get/change weights, sip coffee, open the door, etc. without guilt!}(

I will be teaching a step class this morning at 9:30 at the YMCA. Our YMCA is very upscale, thanks to a generous donor. The fitness center is named after him. After the stepping (about 45 min) we do an abs section. I have learned from Cathe to fill in between exercises with "standard...

It restores my faith in the American public a little. I was on a jury about 7 years ago and no matter how many times the judge repeated "beyond a reasonable doubt does *not* mean beyond a shadow of a doubt," there were several jurors who would not accept the judge's instructions. The guy...

Wow, I just did that one two days ago on the floor. It was challenging-a-plenty for me... I think it would take a few tries to decide on a seamless series of mods for the ball. There are a few "one-leg" sections which I am unsure of how the ball would affect- maybe lots of rolling around and...

It means easier, lower heart rate aerobics, however that translates to your level. Low-impact is what you describe.
