    Taking up a martial art.

    I'm sorry that you've had such a negative experience. I must say that my own experience and that of friends (several of which also do yoga), colleagues and aquaintances have been the complete opposite of everything you've said in your post. I find them to be some of the most kind, generous...

    Which series do you think is harder?

    >It's very cruel to post this poll when all the DVD people >don't know the answer yet!! }( }( }( > I couldn't agree more with you. The closer it gets to December the more worried I'm getting that I won't get it before Christmas. Not because I think that it won't be ready in time but because...

    Karen Voight

    IIRC, Karen was a ballet dancer before she became a fitness instructor/personal trainer and would have followed a comparatively strict diet and fitness program for a substantial part of her life. My guess is that she kept up the routine to make sure her body would bear up to the inevitable...

    Lost Physical strenth and energy

    Could it be the time of year? Hi Leslie I don't have Fibromyalgia but I can relate a bit. I've had a hard month that started with a bad cold that almost felt like flu - that slayed me for the best part of two weeks. Then because I couldn't sleep unless I propped myself up on four pillows, I...

    Help!!!!!!! Any advice please!!!!!

    Hi Tricia, It could be a muscle spasm rather than a strain or sprain. You may have had tight back and hamstring muscles and it's possible that you didn't get enough stretching in afterward for your body. Either way, I think you should see a Doctor/Chiropractor/Sports physician/Osteopath as soon...

    Your favorite weight lifting DVD

    Slow & Heavy without a doubt although I love the Pyramids too. I haven't got the Pure Strength series yet so can't compare it but I think the Slow & Heavy workouts will still be my favourites. They do terrific things for my body and really blast the fat. I wonder what the people who have the...

    SNM-- DVD Player suggestions?

    We've had a Toshiba, a Yukai, a JVC and Panasonic DVD players and they've all been good although the Toshiba and Yukai had problems playing some discs. The JVC we have is excellent but we're really happy with our Panasonic S75EBS player. Even with the old TV, the difference in sound and picture...

    SCARIEST Halloween movies????

    Trevor, I'm with you on the Twilight Zone episodes especially the original black & white tales. Your post reminded me of another: the Amityville Horror. {{shudder}} It scared me into insomnia for days!

    SCARIEST Halloween movies????

    Great thread! These are the movies that I find the scariest no matter how many times I've watch them: The Fog The Thing Terminator Salem's Lot - the complete mini series. I used to have a tree outside my bedroom window that scraped against the glass whenever it was windy. On the night we...

    Why Cathe should NOT do a Yoga Workout

    Bobbi, I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you for putting it so eloquently. I don't dispute that there may be a minority of teachers out there who bring their choice of religion to yoga class just as, for example, Billy Blanks has done to his own brand of kickboxing, Tae Bo. Yoga has...

    Any of You Devoted Cathe Fans Do Yoga?

    Yes and I wouldn't like to do without it! I quite often skip strength and do yoga instead and haven't lost any strength, in fact I found to my astonishment that I've actually gained strength in my back since I started doing Bryan Kest's Spinal Strengthening and Long, Slow & Deep. I usually do...

    Birth Control Pills and side effects.....

    Hi Janice, I'm on depo and had similar problems with my skin but cleared it up by making sure I got more zinc in my diet, more water and using E45 cream as a moisturiser. I started using it after having a bad reaction to a handwash and it's made a real difference to the texture and colour of my...

    Body Blast DVD Update - Main Menu

    WOW. This looks incredible!! What a fantastic job you've done. I doubt there's anyone out there anywhere making DVDs who has put as much thought into the content and usage as you have at SNM. I can't wait to try them! :D ATB, - Lisa :)

    Barefoot

    I go barefoot but the weights I use are much lighter than Cathe uses. I prefer to wear shoes for lunges with weights but if it's an upper body workout, my feet are bare :) When I'm stronger, I'll wear shoes for all my Cathe videos but for as long as I'm a wimp, I'll skip the shoes and show my...
