    Bosu Ball vs. Bosu Trainer?

    I can only speak to the BOSU not the BOSU trainer. In fact, I hadn't done my Rob Glick workout for awhile and did it a couple days ago--SHEESH!! I really like him (though Cathe will always be #1)but for a nice change--WOW! He has a new one out called "Calorie Combustion" which I bought and...

    High Step Topper

    Karin-- I LOVE Dick's sporting goods!! Though I will tell you that their website vs. what is actually in the store can be deceiving--I've found things in the store that weren't on the website, probably because they can't keep up with all the fun stuff that they have. Happy shopping!! Mary;)

    High Step Topper

    Karin-- I got my high step topper at Dick's sporting goods(in FL)and my risers are purple. I think Sports Authority sells them also. Just trying to think of a place so you could go pick it up instead of having to order it. I'm only 5'3" but I like having the extra risers for doing the laying...

    EXCESS Skin

    I can only tell you from the plastic surgery aspect of it as that's what I do in my nursing profession. We do MANY abdominoplasties, AKA "tummy tucks" and what an amazing procedure it is. I'm not here to sell procedures, all I can tell you is that(for example)for people that have had gastric...

    For contact lense wearers....

    Robin-- I used to work for an ophthamologist when I first got out of nursing school(20 years ago--yikes!). To explain this without all the mumbo jumbo, as we get older the "strands"(I'm keeping the eye anatomy out of this)that allow your eye to change while reading and then looking at a...

    To Diane 1--Your DVD player purchase

    Hi Diane-- Actually on Epinions.com it got good reviews and on circuitcity.com it got good reviews also, so that really sold me on it along with your help. I'm off to buy it!!! Was it hard to figure out how to program the different parts of the workouts(I'm not good with this kind of stuff)...

    To Diane 1--Your DVD player purchase

    I moved this response from the ask Cathe forum-- Diane-- I've been sitting at the computer RESEARCHING and RESEARCHING trying to find THE multi disc player to mish-mosh my workouts. My question is this, have you made a mish-mosh Cathe workout with the dvd player you bought and how did it...

    Programable DVD

    Diane-- I've been sitting at the computer RESEARCHING and RESEARCHING trying to find THE multi disc player to mish-mosh my workouts. I have a tendency to do this now that I'm older:-) as I used to be an impulsive buyer but now I research the heck out of just about EVERYTHING(it even annoys...

    A-jock--5 disc player question

    A-jock--you are TOO funny!! My husband calls me "bandwagon Mary"--aka I'm a Vikings fan when they're winning and not as big a one when they're not. I'm going to start perusing Ebay--very good idea AND the internet to see what I can come up with. BTW--that whole loveboat thing was STUPID...

    A-jock--5 disc player question

    Yep, we've got both Best Buy and CC here, so I'm going to hit the internet to look for the best deals. I'll let you know how "happy" I am with your mish-moshes, they sound pretty killer, so as "happy" as I am, my body will be SCREAMING--LOLOLOLOL If it weren't for the weather, I'd move back...

    A-jock--5 disc player question

    I'm interested in buying one of these and don't have a CLUE where to find one so I can start doing some mish-moshes. I actually got to "meet" you on the trip through the pics that Joanne brought--so nice to meet another Minnesotan(even though I live in FL now)--I miss my midwest people. Trust...

    Why do people shoot cops???

    I'm right there with you. My husband is a Sheriff's deputy and a "motorman" aka traffic deputy. The stories he tells me of the things people do(you never get the FULL story in the news, and anyone who is married to someone in law enforcement will agree)is amazing. I've seen the results(of the...

    Anyone have a Bosu Trainer?

    I see that I'm in the minority here, but I like mine. It's a nice addition to regular step. It is tough, but that's why I think I get a good workout from it. Rob Glick's workout is great and I also have the one from Gay Gasper(I didn't care for the others). It took a couple of times to get it...

    heart rate monitors

    Ashley-- The Polar I bought came with a "medium" size strap, I had to order a small, which I wouldn't say I'm "small", but even shortening the medium wasn't as snug as I wanted. I would see if they have a smaller size unless there's a way for you to shorten it and sew it smaller yourself. I...

    heart rate monitors

    Just an FYI-- I have a Polar S610 and when the battery was low I called Polar about making sure I will filling out the form correctly to send it in(you can download it)and the guy asked me when did I buy it--evidently my "warranty" had run out so he told me that I could just as well find a...

    which step to buy?

    I have the teal one, but it could be just a coincidence because all I wanted was the longer one. I had a Reebok step which is a good step, HOWEVER, for me, I felt the risers for the STEP brand were more stable because they are stackable on top of each other, whereas to raise the Reebok one there...

    Ipod - Which one should I get?

    RE: thanks for the sandisk rec I have the Ipod mini(it's also the one we got for Cathe's b-day on the roadtrip :-) I have the 6GB and have over 300 songs on it and have only used 1.5GB so far. I use it for running and biking(I didn't want to get the 4GB and wish I'd gotten the 6 so I went...
