    Where to Purchase VHS Tapes/DVD advice

    Sony DVP-NC655P/S I have that exact same Sony DVD player as A-jock, but mine was ~$210 including tax/shipping. I think this is the price with the Progressive Scan feature. I ordered mine online from Crutchfield, because even though all the local 'Ultimate Electronics' stores carried this...

    Cathe's Fit and Firm

    I love "Fit and Firm's" floorwork - and no, I don't even consider using ankle weights!!! :P I always feel like I work my lower body so much harder with floor work as compared to standing. The same is true when I am sitting and doing upper body. I just focus so much better. I want to...

    Switching to Cathe

    Tall Step I know you didn't ask this, but I have a few suggestions for using the tall box (14" step) and minimizing knee pain. :) If you start with both feet on the floor, and step up on the box, really focus on tightening your quads and glutes. The bend in your knee should be minimal...

    How much warm-up is necessary for weights?

    How much warm-up do I really need when I'm doing weights? Lately, I've been cutting back on the warm-up when I am doing strength training. Is this okay? I notice the warm-up in the PS series is very moderate. Also, the warm-up in S&H or Power Hour sometimes starts with lifting lighter...

    Art's last column w/ Cathe's report card..

    Cathe, did you really give Art these grades, or is he just posting what he 'thought' you would give him? http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/5574816.htm Lisa :P

    Kari Anderson Workout?

    Kari is very dancy - like ballet dancy. I think she was a member of the Joffrey ballet. She is VERY graceful, and watching her made me feel even more klutzy - kind of like a duck (me) chasing a swan (Kari). I didn't think her choreography was too difficult, but I just couldn't get into her...

    Fitball U@L Body Challenge?

    I have both those tapes. They are really good, especially the UB. Great core work. :P I need to rearrange my schedule. I have so many good videos (too many really) that I don't do often enough because I don't have enough time to fit them all in. I'd have to start exercising 2-3 hours a...

    ACNE???!!!

    Hi Sara. Sorry I'm so late getting back to you. I was breaking out all over my face, upper back and shoulders - but the worst of it was around my mouth/chin area. My dermatologist said that adult acne (break-outs) will very often occur in this area of the face, while adolescent acne is more...

    ACNE???!!!

    I may have had one pimple the entire time I was in high school. By the time I was midway through college, my skin was breaking out pretty bad. I went to a dermatologist, and found out that I did not have 'acne'. I had a skin infection. Yours actually sounds more like what I had than...

    "Foggy brain" while "eating clean"

    RE: "Foggy brain" while "eating clean&qu... Try eating more. I've noticed that my 'clean eating' is naturally lower in amount/quantity and in calories than when I'm not eating clean. Snack on things like carrots, celery, berries, apples, or any fruit or vegetable of your...

    Cathe's Fit & Firm at Overstock.com

    RE: Cathe's Fit & Firm at Overstock.com I LOVE "Fit & Firm"!!! I really like the light weights and quick reps - great for upper body toning and maintaining muscle definition on my frame. The floorwork is awesome too. Awhile ago, Cathe posted that she stoppped selling this tape...

    Tank Top Rotation

    RE: FOUND ANOTHER TANK TOP ROTATION When I eat clean, I really go to the extreme - I mean the ultimate extreme. Fruits, vegetables, lean meats (nothing processed), seeds and nuts (but not too many), bread or rice or pasta - single servings and no more than 3 per week, cottage cheese, at least...

    Tank Top Rotation

    Thanks for thinking about my feelings, Deborah, but in no way did your post offend me. :P I think it's great that we can share ideas for fitness and workout rotations, and you make a good point about the cardio. I'll go ahead and fess up. When I first did this rotation (I did it for about...

    My workout with Art Carey!

    It sounds like you two had a very tough workout that was lots of fun. }( I think you proved to Mr. Carey that anyone can have a great time getting fit with home videos, and that these exercises can be challenging, and motivating if they are led by a great instructor. Awesome job...

    Has anyone else gone crazy buying workout equipment?

    RE: Has anyone else gone crazy buying workout equipment... All of you are a bad influence on me. }( I own a single 16lb bar and various 2.5lb, 5lb and 10lb plates, but I have often thought about purchasing a second bar. I really love the idea of having 2 bars (light for upper body and...

    Firm's rip-off workout equipment....

    I don't know much about why Goodtimes sold FIRM, or to whom they sold it. A friend of mine is a Firm Believer, and she told me there was an announcement on the Firm YaYa board, but when I went over there to check it out, the forum was temporarily down. Bummer. I'm pretty curious about this...

    Firm's rip-off workout equipment....

    You guys are funny. In that Body Sculpting series, they do say "Fanny Lifter" a whole, whole bunch of times. :P I too got tricked by some of that re-packaging. Once I bought Maximum Cardio something, but the tape was practically identical to the "Fat Blaster" tape I already owned. I...

    New to your forum

    Hi Iris. I'm not Cathe, but maybe I can make a few suggestions. I'm not sure what results you'd like to see, or if you want to increase your endurance, add more cardio, increase difficulty of choreography, add more muscle definition.... But whatever you're looking for, I'm sure you can find...

    New Keli Roberts stability Ball workout ?

    If anyone already has that new Kelli video (CIA 2303), then I am extremely jealous. }( I pre-ordered the 2303 DVDs from CIA earlier this year, and I think they start shipping this month. I can hardly wait to get this series. Kelli is one of my favorite instructors. Collage has already...

    Male Instructors

    What kind of style does your husband like? Does he like athletic moves, or does he prefer dancier choreography? Is he looking for step? Muscle building? Floor aerobics? Remind him that he can make any tape more intense by either increasing the weights, adding extra jumps, jumping...
