Lot's of pre-mix options in 4-day split Bobbi: There are a lots of options practically any way imaginable -- in 4ds. On disc #1, pre-mix #1 has "lower intensity step" cardio only, with options as to having warmup/cooldown or not. And pre-mix #2 has higher intensity step, etc., with the same...

Some lower body workout DVDs Bobbi: I hope your shoulder heals quickly. I find Cathe's aerobic DVDs too advanced for me (especially the step tapes). But I use all of her strength DVDs -- they are the best on the market. It sounds like you can start doing lower-body DVDs. I recommend...

Starting with Earlier Strength Tapes First Sherri: Most comments on the STS forum suggest starting with Cathe's earlier strength tapes first -- then go start the STS program. All of Cathe's strength tapes can be found here: http://shop.cathe.com/category_s/57.htm I made it through STS...

Where does one buy a magnifying glass? I agree that it is necessary to read fine print. I have been too lazy to hunt for a magnifying glass -- though with gradually fading eyesight I am in need of one. I especially need it for reading contents of vitimin pills, but it would come in handy for...

Here in Canada it has been absolutely balmy(!) Pam: Here in New brunswick (Canada), it has been absolutely warm and comfy -- a few rain showers at night, with beautiful sunny weather with clouds. The birds have arrived early, at the end of March. I now have tweety birds eating at a feeder...

Also try light wrist weights Working out: I do another trick which is related to what Iris suggested. I buy light wrist weights (available at any box store) -- and these are sold usually in 1 lb or 1 1/2 lb (per wrist). I just add them on to my body bar, or regular barbell. I find with...

Where does one buy Hi/Lo Med Ball? Jera: Thanks for the question about Tracy Staehle (she slipped under my radar). Does anyone know where to buy Hi/Lo Med Ball? People on this thread sold me on this DVD, but I can't seem to find it here...

One idea: feed him fruit suet It's difficut to chase away birds. At our house, I feed birds of many varieties. I have one feeder -- hanging under the overhang near our bedroom -- a feeder with seed, but with two square suet "baskets" at each end. We're fortunate to have one hairy...

My humble green suggestions Syzygy, I share the same problem of limited cooking ideas for greens. I speak for myself here, but I am a terrible cook. Here are two ideas (my only two ideas): -- boil fresh green beens from the store, along with fresh mushrooms, from the store, together, for...

Matilda the rat deported from Alberta to British Columbia By coincidence, here is a story -- in today's news -- about Matilda, a pet rat, who was deported from Alberta to British Columbia. It seems a family -- moving to Alberta -- brought along their pet rat. But Alberta is the only province in...

I would put it outside... Jonezie, If you live in a temparate climate with a good yard, I would suggest putting the mouse ouside, where it can meet other mice, etc. Field mice are better adapted to living out of doors. This is just my opinion. A field mouse is like a wild bird, or other wild...

I support it. Morningstar: Great idea. I am a klutz when it comes to knowing muscle names. If not a model like Deezie, at least a computer-drawn chart. -- Davidj

Does anyone have Lauren Brook's Kettlebells vol.2?: http://www.ontheedgefitnessstore.com/products/product58.html Does anyone have any positive or negative comments about this video, as to its content, degree of difficulty, etc.? It seems pricey, at $40, and I can't seem to find any video...

Cathe ispecializes in advanced workouts LadyVintage: Cathe specializes in advanced wrokouts. That's how she made her mark. I find that Cathe has an offbeat, engaging sense of humour. Because of this, she supportive to those of us still in the beginner/intermediate stage. She is not in the least...

Has anyone out there bought the Turbo Jam Workout? I accidently channel surfed onto a TJ infomercial -- at 5:00am on a Saturday morning. Much of it seemed misleading (the instantaneous lost inches, "If you call in the next four minutes...etc...). But I am interested in the weighted gloves...
