    The "working out at home" thread has me curious

    RE: The Carol, I really wish you would calm down. I think you write a lot of great posts but there are times when I read what you write and you come across as though you are spitting fire and brimstone. While I do not agree with all that Yen wrote I do not think she was as rude as you were in...

    Darn that Beachbody!!

    Ruppie, if you ordered DVDs you have paid for DVDs and therefore Beachbody nor you should think it's okay to stick with the VHS tapes you didn't ask for. Ring them up, give them what for, and tell them it's their mistake and they'd better send you your DVDs right away else you are going to raise...

    The "working out at home" thread has me curious

    RE: The Hiya Trevor :) I'm glad it wasn't a rant and I agree that it is really nice to discuss in such a civil manner :) I'm definitely sure about their diets being healthier than ours and yours but yes, of course, Europe must have its share of obese people too. You can certainly find a lot of...

    The "working out at home" thread has me curious

    RE: The >Europeans smoke like chimneys and you want me to believe they >are more environmentally conscious and health conscious? Hey Trevor, Europeans, and British (we're not technically European y'know ;-) ) people do get off our collective arses and walk or ride bikes to get places. As...

    The "working out at home" thread has me curious

    RE: The >... I can do something about what I do to keep fit, eat, >transport etc. > >Yen Very, very, very well said :-) I don't think it makes a lot of sense to *drive* to the gym either. But then, I live in England where most of the country is geared towards, walking, biking and public...

    Slow and Heavy Workout

    No, no and definitely no! You will grow muscles and you will have a slightly "pumped" look for a little while. It's worth doing even if you have a lot of fat on your body. Yes, increasing your muscle size will make you look a bit bigger but you won't look like Arnie neither will you look like...

    Cathe need advise on back pain

    Oh my goodness, that's traction! I have had that done and swore I will hurt the next person that tries to do that to me again. It was one of the most painful experiences I've had and was absolutely the wrong thing to do to me. Traction can be valuable but I think it's often used inappropriately...

    Place to sell DVD's

    You could always sell through Amazon. A lot of people prefer to buy and sell that way.

    What are your favs from the Body Blast series??

    Kick, Punch & Crunch and Legs & Glutes. Both are instant classics and a lot of fun.

    Cripes! Back pain.

    Ibuprofen (or another anti-inflammatory medication), Arnica (whether oil, gel, homeopathic pillues, cream, ointment or whatever), active rest but NO straining of ANY kind so that means no stenuous exercise - sorry! and some TLC (tender loving care) will allow your back to heal properly. Don't...

    A big thanks to previous responders, and of course another question!!!

    I have read that your abs can expand in size if you don't hold them in properly when you work them. I'm sure someone pitched this question to Cathe a little while ago. I wish I could remember her reply but I do know that your waist should not get bigger from ab work. Pilates is worth a try and...

    CK Sales Customer Service

    CKSales really are the very best when it comes to customer service. I live in the UK and even with the time difference, I usually recieve a mail within hours of writing. Just a thought, but if you are using Hotmail or Yahoo for mail, their reply (or your e-mail to them) may have got lost in...

    What would have you done?

    If I were in your position I would have done exactly the same thing and even though it was the right thing to do, I would still feel worried. If she was a good friend, tell her you will be her friend again *when* she has sorted herself out. If she never was much of a friend then bid her good...

    Video Instructors Other Than Cathe

    Christi Taylor and Janis Saffell are brilliant. Debbie Siebers is worth a look and I hear Tony Horton (the P90X instructor) is tough and good. Cathe, Christi and Janis are the ones I reach for the most. You can't go wrong with Christi's Hi-Lo Heaven and Step Heaven or Janis's Hardcore Kickbox...

    Why do you exercise at home?

    Ditto to all that Kathryn said although I can boil my reasons down to one: other people!! There are too many messy, smelly, 'orrible, nosey, irritating and vain people out there and I don't want to share one of my favourite activities with them. LOL. I like to think when I work out and...

    My husband doesn't think I NEED the presale items!

    Well, you're not a child and he's not your parent (in this day and age why is anyone putting up with "you're not allowed" unless they're a child or it's illegal). I realise he's your husband and I have no idea how your income is split (don't worry I'm not asking!) but unless you have some...

    cathe- premixes

    I haven't had any problems with any Cathe DVDs and understand what's involved in authoring DVDs. I haven't used the Workout Blender all that much but I do find it useful. I love the premixes and use them a lot. I would hate to see them removed from the new series. I agree with the others who...
