Oh Oh Oh.... I know, I know....::raising hand high in the air::....get the one with the spring clip collars!! I have BOTH kinds, and those screw on collars are a pain in the arse!!!! They take forever and a day to get on and off when you need to change plates. Trust me, you won't be sorry...

Hi Kristie. A while back, someone posted this link because someone else also had an interest in teaching fitness, etc. Maybe this will help you.... http://www.acefitness.org/updateable/update_display.cfm?pageID=75&categoryID=3 Good luck!! Hollie

When I first started stepping, hubby made me a 6" step. Eventually I needed an 8" step for my cardiovascular needs. (I'm 5'1") Well, I think as short as I am, my knees can't really take the 8" (nor my FEET!), so I had hubby make me a 7" step! 6" just doesn't do it for me. In the words of...

Oh, Marci...... Yes, yes -- I DO know how you feel! :'( I also have it in my left foot. I've had it for a very long time now, and can't seem to get rid of it, even when I "stay off of it". I hurt so bad in the morning, I can hardly walk, and I have to limp for a bit. It's awful. Lately...

RE: To Hollie Hey there Sharon. Thanks for the update! I did go to Collage Video's website. It listed Hi/Lo Heaven as high impact. I also took a look at her other tapes. I may opt for a different one of hers. About the only "hi/lo" I can take seems to be Karen Voight's Strong and Smooth...

RE: Sharon -- a question....?? Thanks, Sharon! I may get this one -- I LOVE Cathe, but her impact kills me. I need more moderate/lower impact alternatives. Hollie

Congrats, Babs!! Sounds like you're really enjoying your new toy. :-) I have not moved to DVD yet. Don't know if/when I will. Hollie

Sharon -- a question....?? Hi Sharon. I was wondering about Christi's Hi/Lo Heaven -- you mentioned that the impact isn't as high as Cathe's. I recently traded away Cardio Kicks because for some reason, the intensity of that one KILLED me - especially my feet. :-( What about floor space...

Congratulations, Cari!!! What an accomplishment! :-jumpy:-jumpy

Wooo... I feel a warm, tingling sensation all over after reading your reply, HB!! I'm giddy with excitement to try the walking lunges. And with that, I'm off to finish the lunch dishes and head downstairs for my workout!! :-jumpy Hollie

HB & Andrea.... Hi...Thanks for the encouraging words! And I know you're right. On the one hand I'm quite glad my life is more balanced than when I was in my early 20's. On the other hand, I miss those days when I could workout whenever and for however long I wanted to. LOL My body sure...

Woo hoo!! Connie, your 71 year old mom did Power Hour?? WOW! She's my hero! :D Tell her she ROCKS!!!! Hollie

RE: Restricting calories No, I don't think you should be worried...unless you are the kind of person that needs more structure. It seems like I can't just eat willy-nilly (even the good stuff). I'll overeat no matter what...I don't know why. I seem to really need to actively "watch" it...

Honeybunch...why walking lunges and not just stationary lunges?? Hollie

Hi gang!!! :-) I thought I'd jump in the check-in again. I've been a lazy bum (with posting -- I've BEEN working out). I was also getting discouraged when I read the check-ins because it seems like many others had so much time to workout like crazy, and I just don't. :'( Oh well -- some...

Hi Anat. Years and years ago when I worked with a nutritionist, I ate similar to what you described, although it wasn't the Dr. Ornish way, so to speak. I ate around 1400 cal. -- and only 10% of calories came from fat. I ate 15% protein, and of course the rest in carbs. That was one of my...

Hi Kim. Welcome! And congratulations on such an achievement!! Hollie

Never heard of it. Do you sell it or something?? LOL
