A short time ago there was a post about aging and maintaining weight. I responded about Dr. Peeke and her book Fighting Fat after Forty. The book and her lifestyle are quite effective and medically sound and safe. Here is a link to her web site: http://www.drpeeke.com/default.asp She is...

A book that may be of interest on this topic has been written by a Female internist. Her name is Pamela Peek. The book is: "Fighting Fat after Forty" It is not a fad diet. It is based on medical research. I've seen her speak, and I have read her book. I recommend it to...

Brie- I just wanted to say congratulations on being due 12-17. I wish you the best. Is this your first? or next?

I did this yesterday after reading tis thread. Thanks for the suggestion. I liked it as a way to get in another day of full body lifting with cardio. My heart rate stayed up for what felt like most of the workout, except abs. Personally, I found the push ups to be challenging at the end of...

A-jock you are to be commended for your continuing accomplishment! You have set a fine example for many of us here! It has been a joy getting to know you as a cyber friend. fondly, Judy

Thanks for sharing your special Cathe day with us. I enjoyed readign about it and viewong the pics!

Finding a lower body substitute can be a challenge. Like you, I can't handle lunges or squats due to a knee weakness. Lower body exercises on the stability ball have been my mainstay for the past 8 weeks or so. I have found that my legs have gotten smaller but are still muscular with out the...

I have a similar knee problem to yours- cartilage waering out. I recommend you STAY AWAY from cardio kicks. It causes me great pain DURING the workout and AFTER. To be honest with you, I have many of Cathe's workouts and have stopped all of her cardio workouts. For cardio now I mainly do...

oh yes.. been there done that... , but, despite the music, the years with small kids are priceless! My babies are growing up too fast. Our oldest graduates high school this month and is moving 6 1/2 hours away to attend college in Boston. boo hoo I will be a sad Momma Labor Day weekend! Judy...

I use the exercise from PLB work out. put your head and shoulders on the ball. Have your body out almost horizontal heels on floor & toes elevated. Put the dumb bell on your lower abdomen and do lifts with your middle squeezing your glutes as you raise up. Judy May God always grant you a...

I didn't. An 8 pound dumb bell works for me. Judy May God always grant you a sunbeam to warm you... a moonbeam to charm you...& a sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you :)

Cathe, Can you advise me on a modification, actually a substitute for squats and lunges? For Squats in ME,I have been doing glute raises on the ball (like in PLB), adding #15 pound dumb bell. The count is following what you and the crew are doing in ME. Is this adivsable? During the...
