    What it says on a box of sugar....

    I honestly do believe that sugar is healthier than artificial sweeteners. I don't think any lab rats have gotten cancer from sugar--fat and rotted teeth--but no cancer. And I live in sugar beet country, so I feel compelled to mention that sugar sales have declined since Splenda and they are...

    Intermediate rotations of 30, 45 and 60 minutes?

    I would love a rotation like this--with a 60 minute workout thrown in on the weekends here and there. Great idea!

    I need help with potty training my toddler

    The best thing I can tell you is don't push him. I know it's frustrating, but boys do take longer. My son was 3 when we started and almost 4 when he was fully trained. It was easy though--he pretty near training himself to get out of diapers. :)

    Define "advanced"....how do you know?

    RE: Define Hmmmmm, I think I may remain an "intermediate" indefinitely.:-) An hour for me still seems like a really long workout. I exercise to feel better and because it's fun, not because I'm in training for a triathalon.

    Define "advanced"....how do you know?

    Just curious here. How does one know when they have graduated to "advanced level?" Sometimes, I feel advanced, but I still have no desire to do a workout called "The Terminator"--and I'm a little scared of Drill Max and Cardio Fusion after reading some reviews. Yet, I do other Cathe advanced...

    OK, I'm getting a kitten & need advice

    Unless you want your furniture shredded, get a good scratching post! And have fun. I love kittens.:-)

    Do you get yearly physical exams?

    Just curious after reading about all of our health concerns. I have never had a total body physical--just paps/breast exams. If you do get yearly physicals, how old were you when you started?

    Found Ryka Enlight I Source

    I have a pair of Circuit XT's and I liked them. The arches seemed to wear out pretty quickly though--in about 6 months. I wore the same size in them as I usually do. I do find that Ryka walking and running shoes run small--but the studio and cross training shoes are pretty true to size. HTH!:-)

    Decorating opinion

    My first thought was a deep burgundy--that always seems to look so pretty with green and ivory. But, that may look too Christmas-y. Maybe a deep plum would be nice.

    Basic Step Work out question

    As you progress with Cathe's workouts (if you choose to do so), you will definitely want to upgrade to the larger step. It provides a bigger space and more stability for some of the more high impact moves. Yet, you have a while to think on it. Body Fusion is a great workout and easily done on...

    Do you get red in the face?

    I just checked my heart rate info--143-166 with a max of 184, so no heart attacks!:+

    Do you get red in the face?

    Yes! My blood pressure has always been very low too. I have no idea what my heart rate should be at, but it usually seems to average about 150 bpm with an all-time high of 180. I hope that's ok. I'd hate to drop dead of a heart attack! :o I have been this way since I started working out...

    LIC 6 inch step

    I use a 6" step for this one also. Actually, I only go to 8" for very short or moderate workouts. To me, there's no sense in risking injury (and I tend to be accident prone). I burn plenty of calories on the 6" step and I figure why fix it if it ain't broke?:-)

    working up to full new workouts

    Hey there! I am doing this too. I started with LIC. I first did the cardio premix since cardio is harder for me to catch onto. Then, I did the first 2 circuits plus the abs and stretch. Then, I did the warm up, circuit 3 + the bonus cardio and stretch. I will continue this pattern until...

    So, what's everyone up to this weekend?

    I don't know! The men are gone a'huntin' and MIL keeps calling me asking if I want to do something. I DON'T! I would rather eat nails than spend an afternoon with her. HELP!

    Ryka Enlight II and the hunt for the best step shoe!

    I've wasted way too much money on shoes for working out. I haven't called Ryka directly for the Enlight II's because I don't want to fall in love with a discontinued shoe. How many people need to call them before they get the hint that maybe they shouldn't discontinue them?:o So, my latest...

    Got a really odd question

    Speaking as someone with a selfish dolt for a husband, I must admit I think your's is being selfish as well. Truth is that when I had cancer and every scare after, my DH has at least listened and hugged me. He did forget to bring me a magazine after surgery, but at least he was there. I...

    Which Kick,Punch& Crunch premix is the easiest?

    The second one--I think it's called Kicking and Punching and it's 41 minutes...it's the warm up, the three combos and the SB abs section.

    We are ALL getting replacement DVD's!

    I would think they would replace them to their distributors as well. You should definitely ask CK sales.:D
