    Freddy's Shoes?? Ever heard of them?

    I don't know if the shoes can serve as runners unless they are cross trainers. You can always try running in them and see how it feels. I am always saying never to do aerobics in running shoes but if you are on a treadmill it should be less impact than on the road. I would not take these shoes...

    It has not started snowing yet in Storrs, Connecticut. It cannot be far however. I agree. April 7th is far too late for snow.

    Freddy's Shoes?? Ever heard of them?

    I had a problem with their website on one of my orders and called their customer service number 1-866-330--1338 (tollfree) to verify and found out that it did not go through. You may have to call them. They were really nice when I called with the same problem. Mention that you tried to order...

    Freddy's Shoes?? Ever heard of them?

    I have those shoes in black and white. Just be careful of which ones you are looking at because some of the titles seem awfully close. I always need lateral support and they do have that as well. The cushioning is more like impact protection. I found that I could not use the Reebok (even though...

    Freddy's Shoes?? Ever heard of them?

    I have 2 pairs of the Hi Impact Pro trainer and think they are probably a little better for you than the funk aerobic only because of the arch support (though they are so comfortable and you can always buy some arch supports and put them in - like I did with orthotics). It does not usually...

    Freddy's Shoes?? Ever heard of them?

    I wear a 7.5 in normal shoes and 8 in Rykas but I order 38 (size 7.5) in Freddy's. I usually go to Freddy.com for ordering because I enrolled in their instructor program (which is similar to US Bodyware and they are the "USA distribution center" for Freddy). The arch support I have not...

    Freddy's Shoes?? Ever heard of them?

    I wear them and love them. Why? Because I have a wide foot and they are made for that. Also, they have the impact technology system in the heel and they have significantly reduced the pain in my heels and feet. I am an instructor so I get them at instructor prices which helps. I cannot stand...

    Costco has gym flooring

    I recently found the interlocking flooring at my Sam's Club and they sell them for 4 at $8.00/package. I would like to have this information as well. I want to buy some more. What colors did Costco's version come in? Is it also 1/2"? Thanks Sheila

    Eating prior to Cathe

    Hi Jamie and welcome, I try to eat at least 2 hours before any of my workouts. I find that I HAVE to eat if I am going to teach 2 hours in a row. Otherwise, my low blood sugar makes thinking difficult. Also, from an energy point of view, I think eating beforehand is very helpful but like you I...

    I hope you

    Cathe, I cannot think of a better video instructor to show him a little reality. Please do not let him walk the next day (without moaning and grunting that is). Sheila

    Hey Getnfit@39! I'm Gonna Do It!

    I have made my own sweatbands from old but clean tee shirts that I won't wear anymore by cutting 3 strips width wise across the bottom of the tee shirt then braiding them together. I try it around my head and then determine where I will sew the ends (I usually sew the ends separately and then...

    Pain deep in shoulder

    Please make sure that you go to the doctor. You could have shoulder impingement. Shoulder injuries take forever to heal. I usually go to my chiropractor for this kind of thing. I know that when I sleep with my arm up that aggravates the injury as well. Good Luck! Sheila

    I did it!

    Congratulations on passing the ACE personal trainer exam. I am sure it was not an easy test knowing ACE. Sheila Also, the ACE exam is a home study course but you have to take the test in a specific place near you (hopefully near you, mine was in Boston which is reasonably close to...

    My sad story

    Please don't give up the exercise. It gives a mental boost as well as many physical benefits. I am the strongest I have ever been and I really noticed it when I was gardening or doing everyday activities that would have been difficult without such conditioning. I am 5'1" and 150 pounds give or...

    Cathe Gear Coming Soon!

    I like the baby doll tops with smaller sleeves (cap) and like hip bone length but would like longer tank tops. I would also like to see lycra instead of cotton for the pants(which does not wick the sweat off as well). I wear petite in pants but capri also work out well for me and like darker...
