    Where can I get a Step cushion?

    I bought one when STS came out and then my dog chewed it up. I'd like to replace it, and see that it isn't in the cathe store anymore. Can I get some guidance for the specs? Was it 1/2" extra thick foam like in this photo? It sure looks like it. Even the strap that was on it. Thanks for any...

    Heart Rate Monitor Feedback?

    I am looking to replace my old Polar HRM and thinking about a continuous heart rate monitor, with sleep monitoring etc... I would love to hear from people who have them, that do this kind of workout (I'm currently doing STS) what you think of yours. Pros, Cons? Anything? I could go back to...

    Does anybody know a HRM that works?

    I was hoping that there would be an answer here. I also have a Polar and have discovered it is no longer supported by Polar (all I need is a battery!)... so I was thinking of getting a continuous heart rate monitor. Everytime I read a review though it seems like there are so many complaints. I...

    Sub for lunges?

    I'm great! I hope you are not working too hard right now getting the new workouts ready for distribution. (but we sure do appreciate the effort!) Wow, that's a great substitution that I'm sure will work plus help with his balance, which is also an issue. Thanks Cathe!

    For all women who are 40+, what is your skin care regime?

    I use a clarisonic device and Obagi, alternating the Obagi products occasionally with a lightweight moisturizer (generally samples I get from Sephora - whatever I have on hand). I'm tempted to try the Ponds though after what I've heard here. Obagi is very expensive, but it has done miracles to...

    Sub for lunges?

    Good idea! He's considering having the plate removed now that everything has healed, but I don't know if that will give him back that range of motion. In the meantime, and possibly forever, these options are great.

    Sub for lunges?

    That may work. He has a plate in his foot that was put there to keep the heel bone (calcaneus) and bones above it in place after he broke the calcaneus in half (he fell off a ladder). It limits how much he can bend his foot - it simply won't bend. Squats are affected too. I think that squats...

    Sub for lunges?

    Recently was able to convince my hubby to work out with me and we discovered that he cannot do lunges because of a metal plate he has in his foot. Is there an alternative exercise that doesn't require the foot to flex that much to work the same muscles? Thanks!

    Skin care in your 40's

    For anyone using the Clarisonic, how often do you use it? Once a day? or twice?

    Skin care in your 40's

    I am 42, and use Retinol and Hydroquinone skin care that I get from a doctor/aesthetician (the Obagi line) and yes, they are very expensive. At least this line is. I got such great results for hyperpigmentation (I had a fairly dark mask developing over my cheekbones and down along and under my...

    Liann, I'd noticed you weren't posting (but neither was I LOL). I'm so glad to see there is a good reason. What a sweet thing!! Congrats!

    I can't get over how fast this can go! How much time is involved in the typical workout video? A lot must happen before filming.

    Lurkers Invitation 2010

    I think I'm giving up on catching up until I come back from Chile (a business trip). I'll be back Labor Day. Until then, my time is not my own... And now catching up seems so daunting! I may just slide back in early September and hopefully figure out what is going on. ;) Cheryl - we have the...

    Lurkers Invitation 2010

    Hi all! I am back from the NYC trip and have had a little bit to recoup, although work got very stressful for many reasons. I have a trip to Chile planned for the end of the month (I'll be there 10 days or so) so that means that I have a lot of prep to do. Plus, my long time boss and patriarch...

    Old vs New Step

    The structure is identical as far as I can tell. The slanted risers work fine with it.

    Old vs New Step

    Pam, the new one is the one we used at the SD RT. One thing I've noticed is that the tread is different on the new step, it is softer and my cat likes to use it as a scratching post if I don't put the step vertical and hide the tread. The old step has a tough tread that isn't so scratchable...

    Lurkers Invitation 2010

    Hi ladies, I'm on my last day in NYC and haven't been all that good (but could have been so much worse) with my eating. The good news is that we've walked our feet off every day, with something like 10-14 hours of walking! I don't think I've gained a ton of weight (thankfully) and am looking...
