These are definitely the biggest challenges we home exercisers face, aren't they? Last night was unbelievable. I had just pressed start on my PUB video, and when I went to put my glass of water down, it slid right out of my hand and smashed all over the coffee table and floor! So I had to...

Truer words were never spoken, Hulagirl! What you could get away with in your twenties, you just can't get away with in your thirties, etc. I'm going to be 40 next year--:o--and it's amazing how much more diligent I have to be about what I eat, how much sleep I get, etc. Suddenly every little...

Hi, Hulagirl-- I'm not Cathe, but in my experience, the thing that has made the most difference on any kind of visible fat for me is diet. I've been a pretty serious exerciser for years, going way back to the Jane Fonda audio tape days:o and with Cathe workouts for the last several years. I...

RE: My list American Werewolf in London--I forgot about that one! Great gross-out movie as well as scary! Which reminds me, my all-time favorite gross-out movie--The Fly (the one with Jeff Goldblum)!!! When he start peeling off fingernails, then ears...:o -Marie

Wow, Bobbi! That is so helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to post all that information!:-) -Marie

RE: My list Oooh, this is a good thread! Exorcist, definitely, is the scariest movie ever. I have never actually watched the whole thing. I used to try to watch the edited for TV version as a kid and used to end up literally running from the room I was so scared! They came out with the...

You pretty much read my mind, A-Jock. I was thinking that it sounded silly, too; very old-fashioned. Good idea on the Google search; there's so much info out there, guess I should do more research. But I always seem to find the best advice here, so I always check here first! Thanks again...

Whew! Glad to hear that, Connie! You never know with this unbelievably fit crew!:7 -Marie

Good question, Annette! I just mentioned in my reply to Diane that the only thing I didn't like about my Troy Lite barbell were the clips that came with it. They look like those things you use to strengthen your grip, you know those hand-squeeze things, and I found them just about impossible...

Hi, Diane-- There has been a ton of talk here about the Troy Lite barbell. I just got one, and I love it! I had been using a Firm barbell that is padded. The padding was nice for leg work when I had the bar on my shoulders (and I still use it for that), but for stuff that you hold the bar...

I think you're right, Kathryn. I think it was just inverted poses they advised against, not all yoga. I guess that "against the flow" thing makes sense...that must be what it is. Thanks!:-) -Marie

Good for you, Leslie! Sometimes just getting that first workout under your belt is all you need to get you back on track. I've gone through some tough times in my life (as I'm sure we all have), and I've always been grateful that working out is part of my life. No matter what I'm going...

Hi, everyone-- I don't have a lot of yoga experience. I've done it on and off, but never consistently. I'm hoping to start doing it once a week just to improve my flexibility. Anyway, I've always wondered why they advise against doing yoga while you have your period. Does anyone know...

That makes sense. I guess I'll just go by how strong I'm feeling/how much time I have. Thanks!:-) -Marie

Does anyone have this video and, if so, have you done the whole thing all at once? It has two sections, back bends and forward bends. I'm wondering if it's ok to do them both one right after the other, or is that not safe? I don't have a lot of yoga experience (have done YJ's Yoga for...

RE: To CardioHo: Oh my gosh, are you guys serious??? I feel like I'm in great shape being able to complete one Cathe video. You guys are operating on a whole other level!:o -Marie

I know exactly what you're talking about, Kris. We all work so hard with Cathe, but the food we eat can really sabotage how we look. I just recently started really trying to look at how many calories I eat each day and have been trying to cut back. Definitely not easy, but I'm seeing some...

Wow, Jillybean, that's awesome! I was just so happy to be able to finally do one!:P Now I can do a few in a row before I feel like I'm going to fall off, so maybe I'll get there one of these days! Great job!:D -Marie

WTG, Carol! What a great birthday gift to yourself! Congrats!!! :D -Marie

Good luck, Candy! I hope you're feeling better in no time so you'll be able to tackle all the new workouts! :D Take care, Marie
