Thank you Jerry and Kate! I am about to go over to Netflix and see if I can get one of these to try.

Hi all, In the workout manager, we have the option of picking various types of workouts, yoga, weights, cardio, DVD, STS. I would really like to add the option of a "core" or "'ab" workout as another type of workout to choose. Would that be possible? Thanks!

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a Leslie Sansone "walking" video that would be a pretty hard cardio workout and would give me a decent idea of what she is all about. I am a total Cathe-ite but I am just curious to try what the Sansone workouts are like. I looked on Netflix...

Hello ladies, I will have no workout today (work work, and not the good kind, ha ha!) but yesterday I did "get ripped" by Jari Love, and used 1 or 2 pounds weights for all of the upper body stuff. I am totally afraid of re-injuring my triceps/elbow and can really relate to that.

check in, sleep, humility etc Hi Tami and everyone, I have never done a check-in - would like to try it but not sure what it entails - I am afraid that I would not be a "reliable" poster - some days I don't get to it, depending on what's going on at work mainly. Re sleep, I hurt my elbow...

hanging in there "I HATE INJURIES!!!! :mad::mad:" Tami, I agree TOTALLY! Injuries stink. I feel so frustrated! At least we can commiserate with each other while we recover. I have been feeling really crummy 'cause I know STS should be coming soon, and I won't be able to even start it for...

Hello, Debbie! Re your question, I am not sure if I should answer this - or leave it to the original poster - but I guess it won't hurt to chime in. I can do cardio for sure, just have to be careful with kickboxing punches with the right elbow not to punch too "hard" or too fast. I am...

lats, visualization My one or two cents - the pullover is a great lat exercise and they can be hard to target; a good sub would be a lat pulldown machine if you have access to one. What helped me was pressing my shoulders down into the bench and leading with the elbows, as another writer just...

Just wanted to chime in here - I would love to see such a workout also. I have been dealing with a right elbow issue for a while now, so am in a similar boat. Happy New Year and thanks in advance for any ideas!

Happy New Year to you Cathe! Hi Cathe, Happy 2009 and a big THANK YOU for all of your workouts which I did in 2007 and 2008, and a great road trip in July 2008! I can't wait for STS and a great fitter year ahead! Enjoy New Years Day with your family and friends!

Happy New Year to everyone! I am planning to do a KPC cardio pre-mix today. It always gets me motivated and will be a great start to the new year! We went on a vacation before Christmas and then ate un-clean the entire last week with holiday stuff going on so I now have about 4 extra pounds...

51 and looking forward to STS To join in the group here, I am 51 and keep checking the blog every day to see if STS has been shipped yet, just like a little kid waiting for the Christmas tree gifts! I have to be more cautious now to prevent injuries - modify a lot, stretch a lot more, take...

bump! And I do mean, I have quite a belly bump, and also sit at a computer most of the day :-) so would love to hear the reply to this!

There have been a lot of useful posts on this recently - if you do a search for "elbow" or "tennis elbow" or elbow pain, you will be able to find them. One post was even Cathe's advice on a similar issue. That one is under "working biceps post injury."

My thought here is that Gwyneth Paltrow must have SO much money that she can pay other people to do everyday activities for her. E.g. lifting heavy grocery bags at the store and getting them into the house - or hauling a gas-filled lawn mower out from behind a pile of boxes/stuff in the...

Does anyone know if backaches are a typical "symptom" of menopause? I am having unexplained backaches, and the only thing I am wondering is if near-menopause may have something to do with it. I typically know if I have a backache because I overdid working out, for example. I do have an...

Thank you Chris! I just opened the xlsx file just fine. How wonderful of you to do this. I was honestly thinking of doing this with Excel and had never gotten around to it, and I am so glad you did. I believe we met at the July Road Trip and had lunch (Kris, Saunda, me and yourself) at the...

I haven't started either, for better or for worse. So many reasons: still recovering from elbow injury is #1, also I did not want to do 1RMs now and have them all change by the time STS arrives who knows when, slowness and unreliability of web site features for 1RM - the one time I tried to...

These DVDs really sound intriguing. I am currently trying to recover from an elbow injury and having trouble finding much I can do comfortably, except cardio and core workouts. I'll probably try the intermediate and see how it goes. My Cathe core board should come in a week or so!

Fitness Fix ? Hi Lori, I am ordering the balance board today - and wondering what Fitness Fix video you are using with it? I took a look at their web site and they seem to have many videos. Is there any one or more that you recommend for using with this core board? Thanks in advance!
