    For those of you with back problems...

    Hi Leslie, I don't know the answer to your question but I've noticed the same thing. I can step, I can kickbox, I can do Hi-Lo and I feel okay. But, make me walk and it's another story. The only thing I do know for sure is that it does get better but you need to increase your walking distance...

    Alternative step?

    Yen has already given you good advice on where to get dumbbells and barbells etc. I started out with a small Weider step, which was good enough for Cher but too small for Cathe or Christi workouts. I looked at the Reebok step but storage space is a real problem so I decided to get a full size...

    HIGH STEP in the UK.

    Hi Yen :) Please count me in. Who is the supplier? Would they be interested in shipping to European customers? There are a few people (based in the UK and Europe) over at VF who would also be interested. ATB, - Lisa :)

    Favorite Perfumes

    I love Samsara by Guerlain and Tresor by Lancome. I tend to go through phases and switch my perfumes around throughout the year but these two are the ones I favour most. ATB, - Lisa :)

    RE: reply to all: for argument's sake It probably didn't come across that way, but at no point was I ever irritated with you, personally. It looks like we are both stubborn and curious (as in eager to know, not strange) people. :) I see some of the facts you stated as "views" and you see some...

    RE: Bobbi! Bobbi, Danielle, I absolutely agree with you both. I love the way Cathe's workouts make me feel. I'm more confident in myself and the better I feel - even with the extra weight and back trouble: the happier I am, the happier my SO is with me :) I've also noticed that the happier I...

    Anyone see results just from exercise?

    Yes. What you eat is important but assuming we're not talking about a high fat, high sugar, alll junk food diet, it means little for people like me. Food is fuel and different foods have different roles. You need protein, you need fibre, you need fats, you need minerals, vitamins and iron...
