    Elderly Parents

    My middle sister is very manipulative and uses people/situations to make herself look good. She has been doing it since she was a little girl. I'm only getting one side of the conversation from my mother but I bet what is going on is my sister is sick of them being in her house (going on...

    Elderly Parents

    My parents (76 and 74) have recently sold their house and bought a mobile home and put it on some land in front of one of my sisters' houses. The mobile home isn't ready for occupation just yet but my sister insists on moving everything into it. My mother came over to my house yesterday in...

    Hiit - Explosives Moves executed with good form

    I hate explosive moves and I just don't do them any more. I haven't seen that it has made a bit of difference in my overall fitness level. Ditto!

    Body Beast

    I hated Body Beast. I sent it back to Beachbody for a refund. The warm-up and cool down appear to be thrown in to "cover his ass" because they suck. You will need to use one of Cathe's DVDs for the warm-up and cool down. Just because a former bodybuilder comes out with a fitness...

    Anyone Felt Like This?

    I am 53 and can relate to not being able to do the hard workouts anymore. I tried to do IMAX2 a couple of weeks ago and couldn't do it. I had to skip all of the blasts and just step in place until the next step routine. My ob/gyn told me a couple of years ago that our heart changes as we...

    Recovery Drink Suggestions

    I have been using P90X Recovery Drink. Due to the cost being so high, I need to find an alternative that is less expensive. Any suggestions?

    Anyone Else Experience This?

    I just have to bitch this morning. I have a co-worker who has more drama than anyone I have been around in my 53 years on this earth. It is one thing to have to stay on the phone, etc., dealing with whatever has come up but she has to get the paralegal I work with involved in every detail. It...

    Muscle Strain Question

    Do you know the stretch for the shoulder where you grab the doorframe and walk forward a little? Well, that is exactly where I'm hurting on my right side. It started hurting this morning again when I was putting on my shorts. I don't know what I've done. I haven't been lifting weights...

    Help with Freezing & Refridgerating Leftovers?

    Great idea to cook the chicken in the crockpot and use for sandwiches. I don't like eating deli chicken and turkey (way too much sodium).

    Does It Ever End?

    I don't watch "trash." Its hard not watch when its EVERYWHERE! I have to endure the "trash" to get info and behind the scenes footage of new movies coming out that I am interested in seeing.

    Does It Ever End?

    Every female in my office is obsessed with The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. I don't get it. The only "reality" shows I watch are The Voice, American Idol, Project Runway, So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With the Stars.

    Does It Ever End?

    Healthy Smoothie to enjoy in moderation ;-)

    I just made the shake and it tastes really good. I didn't have any cacao nibs and Kroger didn't have any 70% cacao chocolate only 62%. I also used almond butter instead of peanut butter. It doesn't taste "icky" sweet which is what I like. If I can find some cacao nibs this weekend, I'll...

    cathe's video music

    The music in IMAX2 rocks! I am so tired about halfway through but the music helps me push through every time. I don't know if Cathe will ever be able to top herself on that one.

    Collage Video Will Return?

    I agree. They were probably going under and finally found a lender who was willing to work with them.

    Need Help Getting Back Into the Groove

    I do own the high step and a couple of the dvds that use it exclusively. I don't remember which ones at the moment. Could it be that I'm not using proper form? Taking a few months off really screws with your mind and body when you are trying to get back into a routine. I want to...

    Need Help Getting Back Into the Groove

    I own a variety of Cathe's cardio and weightlifting workouts as well as P90X, Power 90 Master Series, Power Half Hour, Hip Hop Abs, Rockin Body and Ultimate Yogi. The one set I don't have is the Low Impact Series. That is my next purchase. I'm not sure I want to try any of the 100 Rep...

    Need Help Getting Back Into the Groove

    First, I know what BPPV is. That was my diagnosis back in July. It is gone. I haven't experienced any dizziness since December. Second, as it was explained to me by my therapist (who is certified in vestibular therapy), my neck and shoulders tightening or ceasing up is caused by muscle...

    Need Help Getting Back Into the Groove

    I had been in physical therapy for several months trying to get over positional vertigo and was instructed not to lift weights or do any yoga. I was able to do cardio that didn't involve lots of spins and turns. Now that I'm finished with PT, I can't seem to get back into the groove. Its not...
