    That is so great. Well done! I bet the rock wall climbing really helps a lot!

    RE: Deadlifts

    As a personal trainer, I encourage my clients to do the deadlifts on leg day to squeeze their hamstrings and glutes as much as possible as they lift the weight. If it's back day, I go a little bit lighter (even more so if the client has had any history of lower back issues, and not at all--no...

    If I only did firewalkers every day.......

    Go for it! It can't hurt to try it. Be sure to add some weight for resistance. :)

    If I only did firewalkers every day.......

    Not too sure about this. What I tell my personal training clients is that exercises that work the abductor (gluteous medius) is actually on the top, outer portion of the hips. Not to say that the outer thigh doesn't get involved (as does the IT band). IMHO I would say that if you want to...

    does this count as a workout?

    Obviously not Cathe-- I'm a personal trainer. As such, I say: Yes! I do it all the time and even add light hand weights depending on the body part I'm working (shoulders or biceps). I have a mini-tramp and use it for circuits in my living room. It all depends on your goals, but I know my...

    Valerie Bertinelli's workout

    ITA with everything Debbie said (cuteness and lower abs). You can easily get the same benefit on a Roman Chair and holding a medicine ball between your bent knees. It takes out the momentum, but adds weight, which is wonderful. However, if the shoulders cannot hold up the body that's a...

    Jumping rope taken to new heights

    That's exactly what I thought! In fact, I cringed!!! And I don't even have bad knees. That was really fun to watch! That workout was over seven minutes! I love seeing kids so fit.

    master your metabolism

    Based on her morning talking show on KFI (aired 4/5/09) she says that she's "veganish" meaning that she still eats fish, but that's it.

    Article in OnFitness Magazine

    Hi Dorothy, No, it's an old issue. I picked up a few old copies at the gym and this article resonated with me (obviously). Since I started reading the old version, I ordered all the back issues. Once I get through those, I am going to subscribe for sure!

    Article in OnFitness Magazine

    This is such a great article and gives rationale for good "come backs." How much exercise is too much? "Don't you hate when you hear someone accuse a person of being an exercise fanatic just because the fitness enthusiast works out two hours a day? But nobody calls the couch potato a TV...

    week of 4/13 checkin

    Jess--good luck on finding the shoes. Yeah, I'm able to keep up with not working out so hard, but my office is in the process of moving so I'll be out of the office a lot this week. Sorry if I don't post so often. PennStater--did you get your workout in?

    Formal wedding invite

    I don't think it's formal enough, unless you really jazz it up--maybe with a nice cover, or some definite bling. However, I'm not into fashion too much. Love the dress though!!!:D

    Week of 4/6 - 4/12 Pregnancy checkin

    I'm feeling really good today. Just a back/ab workout this morning, which was really light. My office is moving this week and I have some serious tasks to take care of. I'm down to about 1-2 clients a day (at night), but my dh and I are planning to take a long walk this evening. Have a great...

    Cahte, AAFESS in Germany is selling Fitness by Cathe

    I posted this a few weeks ago in another forum that Heidelberg PX has them too. I found the walking kit and weighted gloves. Didn't really need either, but I bought them both anyway just to support Cathe. Yeah for Cathe!!! She's global now.:D

    Week of 4/6 - 4/12 Pregnancy checkin

    Jess-so sorry that you're not feeling well and that you may have to be induced. I've never had a child so I can't speak to that. Thanks for the support. I've cut back a lot on my workouts, nothing intense even to break a sweat, and just very low intensity cardio. I usually didn't eat anything...
