So I have been working out to my cathe dvd's for 15 years. I have always been what I considered advanced, never needed to modify, and was in the best shape of my life until 2 mo. ago. I am only 53 and have developed arthritis in my knees, back, fingers and feet. My rheumatoid factor is...

Hi Ladies, It sounds like you all are enjoying the spring season and finally the arrival of nicer weather. We had a few warm days but this week looks cold. I have been doing a 3 mo STS rotation (upper body only) and doing yoga. I tried the swimming but really didn't enjoy it. It is so much...

Well it looks like swimming will be my cardio, I did Ride again yesterday and my knees were really uncomfortable last night and again this am. I iced them all evening but they still ache. The thought of going swimming in -25 degree weather tomorrow is not something I look forward to!! It kills...

Cendrine, I am so jealous you can be outside!! We are expecting more snow tonight, with frigid temps for the next 2 weeks. Weeding and yard work really bothers my back as well. Shorter w/o's would be better for me also, but mentally it is hard to stop what we've been used to doing! I wish the...

Lisa, Biking and swimming are 2 w/o's I really dread, lol. I guess I better start enjoying them since that is about all I can do. My knees were ok later in the day, I iced them for awhile which helped. I guess since it has been a month since they first started bothering me they are not going to...

So I decided to skip water aerobics today since it is -15 degrees here, I decided to try xtrain ride.. My knees felt pretty good, but I didn't set the resistance real high. I feel like I got a good w/o which is nice, hopefully my knees won't hurt later in the day. If I can swim and do biking a...

Amy, I really like the MMA boxing w/o, I also like hard strikes from the xtrain series. I have rockout knockout but I didn't like this one as much. I hope that I can try these again soon. It is great you haven't had any DOMS from STS this week, you must be getting stronger! I am trying to keep...

I did my first swim class today, a deep water class. It consisted of treading water (with a waist belt on), jogging in the water etc.. and using pool wts for resistance. It wasn't real hard but I think I got a good w/o, not as good as a cathe w/o!! My knees definitely felt it, but they don't...

Hi ladies, sorry I haven't posted all week. I am still struggling with my knees, I have a baker's cyst and the swelling just won't go down. Being active is not easy at the moment which is very depressing. I am going to start swimming on tues at a near by club, not my favorite activity but...

Hi there, I am 52, I have been doing cathe's w/o's for 15 years now. My suggestion to you since you have had back issues would be to consider trying her low impact series. I really like afterburn, turbo barre and cardio supersets. The weight work in this series is not one I frequently use...

Hannah, 33" of snow, wow! Where do you live? I cannot imagine having to shovel or snow blow that much snow. How are your migraines? I hope you are feeling better. Amy, I did go to the anti gravity class. My knee was ok I guess, I definitely felt it with certain moves. I am starting to worry...

Cendrine, I may try the tablet forms of turmeric, I really need something to tame the inflammation in my entire body!! Amy, I wasn't a fan of CCC either. I love circuit w/o's but this one had a huge "dread" factor for me. No w/o today, if my knees are ok I might go the anti gravity class tonight.

Today's w/o was xtrain ch,back and sh, my knees are really bothering me so I won't be doing any cadio or legs for awhile. I am hoping that this is just a flare-up and that goes away soon. I really want to avoid getting cortisone shots or doing a knee replacement. Cendrine, I tried the tea again...

Cendrine, I tried the ginger, turmeric lemonade yesterday. Not horrible, but I can not imagine wanting to drink this! I think I can handle one glass a day if it helps with inflammation. When you say you drink it 4 times a day how many ounces would that be? I also tried the oil pulling with...

Hi Amy, I have been thinking of signing up for cathe on demand but I don't have a portable laptop or smart tv in my exercise room. I have all of cathe's w/o so I would only use it for her "live" shows. If you get it please let me know how you like it, I think it would fun to have a new w/o every...

Hannah, I am so sorry to hear about your migraines, have you been to the Dr? Have they done an MRI to see if there is a reason for them? I used to get headaches all the time (not really mgraines) but haven't had one since going off of wheat products. Wheat causes me a lot of issues, headaches...

Cendrine, I have read about "oil pulling", do you really think it helps you? How long do you keep the oil in your mouth? Do you use a certain type of oil? No w/o yesterday, I went to see my son in Hershey and help him move out of his apt. I am going to an Antigravity workshop today, it is a 2...

I am not doing a w/o today, need to do some painting. I am on my last room of my house, have painted 13 rooms in total. I will be ok if I never paint again, haha!! It has made such a change in the overall appearance of my house, now all I have to do is get rid of tons of things!! I really hope...

Cendrine, I will keep you posted on the lemonade. I need to still get the ingredients, hopefully soon Todya's w/o was afterburn and the ab section of LLA. Have a good day.

Today I did RWH, LI 2 and as 2. The massage I had yesterday really helped, she said I definitely have some issues on my left side which may be causing the carpal tunnel flair-up. Cendrine, thanks for the info on essential oils. I am going to get the ingredients to make the lemonade and see if...
