    Is this a viable theory?

    Janice, fat is stored in fat cells, and it is deposited in different places in the body, including the muscles. Cellulite is nothing more than stored fat cells in a layer under the skin. Kim, I love the side of beef visual!! LOL!! Carol :-)

    Is this a viable theory?

    Thanks Jenni. I'm an RN, and I know there is no fat in our muscles that we "burn", but there are fat deposits in there, as well as in other places in our bodies. It's actually the mitochondria that do the converting of fat byproducts into energy, but I didn't word my answer very well. I knew...

    Is this a viable theory?

    Cbelle, I think you should do exactly what you feel is best for your body. What worked for this instructor may not work for everyone, and I know it wouldn't work for me personally, but obviously it was the right thing for her at this time. I really think everyone is different, and you should...

    Happy Halloween!

    We had such a blast last night!! It was warm, and only started to rain around 9:30 PM, long after everyone was finished. We decorated the house, and had the fog machine going, and my hubby put on his Michael Myers costume, which always scares the kids! I was dressed in my witch costume, and...

    Cathe, a question about Cedie

    Wow, this is so neat to find out I'm not alone in admiring this lovely woman! Does she ever post on here, I wonder? I sometimes feel like I "know" the ladies in Cathe's workouts, because Cathe does so much in her videos to interact with them, and with the audience, that I feel like I'm right...

    Is this a viable theory?

    Wow, this really sparked a lot of interesting points being brought up! But I think you, Francine, and someone else on here hit the nail on the head when you said the program one chooses has to fit their own needs. We're all different, and we all respond to cardio and weight training a bit...

    Susan, thank you so much for your kind comments! I definitely plan to age gracefully, and I'm sure Cathe will help us do that!! Carol :-)

    Risking getting booted off the forum ................

    My Reebok step has been sitting in a closet for about 10 years!! When I first started doing Cathe, I found I didn't like the Reebok step for her workouts (it was too short), and bought the original Step she uses in her workouts. I also now have the High Step. I love them both!! In my humble...

    Holiday food

    I'm sure some won't agree with me, but the way I look at it, holidays are sacred. It's not even a question of religion. It's a traditional time to be with family and good friends, and take some time to be reflective and offer thanks for what we have in our lives. As children, we looked...

    Lurker no longer!

    Hi and WELCOME!! I used to post on FitPrime too, until it became a paid forum and I grew disillusioned with the workouts. I had all the original Firms, and did them exclusively. Now, I'm a true Cathe convert!! LOL!! You'll love it here!! The people are warm and enthusiastic, and Cathe...

    Gaining Strength

    Wow neat, Beth! Where, may I ask, did you find weights in one pound increments? I can think of lots of places where that would be really helpful, especially at higher weights. Thanks in advance! Carol :-)

    Gaining Strength

    Anytime!! :-) I don't know if you do this already, but what I've found really useful is to keep a notebook with specific exercises on each tape, and write down which weight I used. That way, I can refer back to the notebook when I do that particular tape again, and see where I was comfortable...

    Popping cartilage

    Welcome to the exciting world of getting older - LOL! My knees are full of arthritic changes, according to x-rays five years ago when I fell and tore two ligaments. They've made noise for about 15 years now. I've learned to ignore it. If nothing hurts or feels different, I wouldn't worry...
