A spin bike is more stable for standing up and pedaling. It also doesn't have any computerized stuff on it. Just a tension knob. A stationery bike is set up differently than a regular bicycle, where a spin bike is the same. Andrea

Debra I've been meaning to ask how your injury has been doing. Did you get moved into your new place? Andrea

Marcia Did you post your 1/2 story here? I probably read it at the time, but have been re-reading reports this week! Where is the half you do? Good Luck and happy training! Andrea

Thank you all! Recovery is going well. I'm not sore anymore, but am going to take the whole week off. I don't want any injuries. I'm looking forward to a few more halfs before I tackle the big one again. I still have my appetite totally back, but have been eating well. I really need...

I sometimes feel the same way cause I can't lift the same as many people. But, if it's challenging you, then you are working hard. Nope, you're not a weanie! Andrea

The details I'll go ahead and post them for you...thanks for this:-) I’m not quite sure how I feel about this marathon experience yet. I may waffle back and forth a bit the next week or so…but here goes… We arrived in Phoenix at 8pm Friday night. I couldn’t believe the weather! We let...

Margie You'd just have to see what works for you. I'd never be able to push myself on my own. I need that video going. Some people love making up a CD of music and going for it though. Andrea

Margie, I have the StarTrac bike and love it. I know there is also Schwinn (maybe they don't make them anymore?) and the new LeMond Revmaster. You might check out forum.videofitness.com. Lots of spin bike info there. Andrea

Well, I have to say that I LOVE Spinervals. I don't really think any spinning workout is easy or beginner level. I think they can ALL grow with you. You up the tension when you can. If you are feeling weak that day you use a bit of a lower tension. I would check out Jay's and also try a...

You'll have to just see what works best for you. I am running my first marathon on the 11th. I cut out all lower body weight training. For upper and core I would do 4 week rotations of mostly Cathe videos. I lifted twice a week and did two different vids a week. Just this past week my...

Cute pics Debbie! And what a neat surprise for Mom and Dad! Andrea

What a neat story! How sweet of you Wayne:-) Andrea

On the news they said that the strain of flu that is causing the epidemic is not in this years flu shot. I was also going to take my sons until I heard this. Andrea

You Fit-for-Christmassers have a lot of plans! I wanted to say "hi" to Sabine! Have a fun day working on all your Christmas stuff. I better get on my Christmas cards too! Andrea

I get the health channel and it does have Gilad and Carribean and Aerobic Conditioning which sometimes is led by Tamilee Webb. It has some good food shows and a show called Fitness Fantasy. But, I would rather get Discovery Health! Always wanting what I don't have I guess. I think you'll...

I noticed at VF on the birthday thing that you are having a birthday today! That means its been two years since you started working out with Cathe! Have a wonderful day! Andrea

So, if it is sore on the arch on the inside of your foot it's not PF? I thought I was one of the few who wore shoes all the time. Not specifically for PF, but just cause my feet hurt if I don't! Andrea

What kind of pain were you having? I'm glad it's not too bad of a case. Andrea

RE: Debra I didn't have to be there to get my number until 7am so I was up around 5am and got everyone else up at 5:30am. Actually my "rave run" for training is a trail across the desert from my house towards my Moms. I've got it measured out to do anywhere from 3 to 8 miles. Andrea...

Both you and Matthew did great! Do you do the race together every year? Does Matthew run regularly? Andrea
