    What's AGE got to do with it?

    At age 66, I can DO all the exercises that I could do 20, 30, 40 years ago. I just can't do them as fast as I could then. And therein lies my problem with many of Cathe's workouts. I can't keep up with the fast pace. This is particularly true with the new LIS series... which is...
