Mammograms are uncomfortable because your breasts are compressed between two plates of metal. It's not supposed to be painful so let the technician know if you feel any sharp pain which can happen if you're being pinched rather than compressed. It's also a bit strange to have a stranger...

Body Wisdom's Yoga for Athletes would be a good choice. The Body Wisdom DVD's offer workouts of different lengths & emphasis. The cueing is quite good. Yoga for Inflexible People would also be a good choice. They are plain, straight forward workouts so if visual qualities are important to...

Hi Scott & welcome! The Pure Strength Series and the Slow & Heavy series would be excellent choices for someone returning to weight training. They both are low rep while much of Cathe's workouts are higher rep sets. Great form pointers & time to stretch between sets. The only reason I...

I do them on dog walks - 5 x 40 a few times per week. Debra

Chelle, the gym styles could easily sub for the PS workouts. S&H is rather unique, it's really Cathe's only low rep workout. Debra

Chrissy, this strength rotation of Cathe's might give you some ideas. Substitute the GS workouts for the PS. http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=7&topic_id=386&mesg_id=386&page=2 Debra

pulling up to the top for those that would like to see Cathe's June rotation

Kathryn, loads of empathy coming your way. While I use Ivy Block when I'm on the trails in my area, I pick up poison oak from my dogs even when I'm avoiding the overgrown trails. It does seem that I get more & more sensitive to the stuff. I pass on oral steroids & use a topical...

Mary, the BMI for a person who is 5'11" & 145 pounds is 20.2 which is at the low end of normal. You're also quite slender using the formula used in nutrition classes - for women use a base of 100# & add 5# for every inch over 5'. Adjust 10% up/down if small boned/large boned. Both formulas...

Nancy, the refrigerator makes sense as long as you don't use the produce bin with the higher humidity. Debra

I do a lot of hiking. It's an activity that DH & I both enjoy plus I have a great group of female hiking buddies. We had planned to hike Half Dome next week but California's heavy snowpack means the cables won't be up for our trip. We've rescheduled for October. Debra

Shelley, best wishes to your dad. Check out Dean Ornish, Andrew Weill, & Fuhrman's (Eat to Live) books. They're pretty low in protein while emphasizing nutrient dense foods. Debra

shorts Deb, more important than the brand, is the design. Buy 6 or 8 panel shorts. I don't care for Pearl Izumi's compression. Love Shebest & Sugoi shorts. Terry has a great reputation (but they run small). Debra

Sorry, double post. Debra

Gypsum really helps to break up clay soils. Add it twice a year after your annuals are spent & the bed needs to be replanted. If you plant perennials, just work around them when you mix in the gypsum. Gypsum is sometimes sold under brand names like "Soil Buster". Debra

Take your resting heart rate before you do anything. You don't have to put the strap around you, just lay it across your torso. You're going to squirm a little as you set up & send your heart rate up a bit, but just relax and give it a few minutes to drop back down. I always have to get up...

Lois, Spinning is trademarked. So if you want to be a Spinning instructor, you have to be certified by that organization. Here's a link: http://www.spinning.com/ There are other group cycling certifications (Reebok has one). By the way, Johnny G is no longer part of Spinning or Madd...
