I saw that commercial too and thought to myself -- "Really? Are you serious?" But then again, TV advertisers want us to think Cocoa Puffs and Frosted FLakes are healthy too because they're made with "whole grain" -- WHatever!

Thank you -- and thanks again for the honor!

Thanks Cathe and SNM for making my success story the featured story of the week. :) How do I redeem the $100 gift certificate? Will you send an e-mail? I'm drooling at the thought of spending $$ at your store! Have a great day! Charlene

I just had to comment on the irony -- smokers using a treadmill... :)

I might just join up -- because I'm about to start "official" 16 weeks of marathon training for the Seattle Marathon Turkey Day weekend. I ran my first marathon last summer, and I would still consider myself a novice -- but as all of you racers know -- it can be addicting! :) I did a 5K about 2...

I cried during the whole memorial... even though I agreed he was creepy and I would have never let my child near him... Still, he was a brother and a son and a father and I felt the family's genuine grief as they spoke. I felt Mariah's and Usher's genuine pain as they sang. Never mind that he...

Seattle!!!! Please?????? I'm good for a Friday thru Sunday thing. I don't mind lectures, but I would love to take several kick-butt classes. Thanks!

I really like the early "disco-like" songs -- "Don't Stop til You Get Enough", "Can You Feel It?", plus I liked "Jam" -- the video featured Michael Jordan. I also liked the duet with Mick Jagger "State of Shock". Plus, there are the obvious ones... Billy Jean, Black or White, The Way you Make Me...

I stick with endurance type workouts during my running months -- Muscle Endurance, Muscle Max are good ones if you're sticking with Cathe... I tend to get in a few Jari Love's Ripped workouts in there as well. Circuits are also good if you need a day off from running and you want to get your...

Does anyone remember a really old Johnny Depp movie called "Private Resort"? -- believe me, it was a dumb movie that I'm sure he just did for the money... but he's so cute in it, and if I catch it on cable, I always stop what I'm doing and watch it.

I'm so old school... I only use 6" steps when I teach. For my own workouts I go to 8", and yes, I always do Powermax on 8". How about the Imax's? Who's brave enough to do those workouts on 8"???? ;)

First off, get certified... You can go with ACE or AFAA and there are a few others (personally, I think ACE is the best for class instruction -- there are other certs out there if you want to go into personal training). If you regularly work out at a gym you can be an instructor's "apprentice"...

I've always been more of a lurker than a poster, but I have really gotten into the blogging on this site. I blog much more than I post. :)

Certainly make a complaint -- but I wonder if you can transfer to another instructor? That way you wouldn't have to quit completely.

Well, I'm not trying to lose weight currently -- but I get my 4 days of cardio and I am about to start Meso 3 -- I go for about 2500/day. I can't do fewer than that. I just don't have the energy to get through the day. There was a calculation in WOmen's health a couple years back that I have...

I'd say as long as your menstrual cycle is regular and you feel fine you are OK.

I've been there! Hey there -- I completely know what you are going through -- I have had many binges under my belt during the last few weeks. I'm going through a lot of stress too -- and I get on myself about being out of control -- believe me, eating without any control is a very scary...

I can't believe I have never heard of this before -- and I almost always include a set or two of decline bench presses just because I love how they feel. I really feel stronger in the decline rather than the incline. But now, maybe I'll lay off them. Not that I have much in the boob department...

I wanted to teach at my local Gold's Gym, but needed to be certified to do Les Mills classes, and yeah, you're right, it seems a little boring and cultish -- I have always been great at making up my own routines and making it different each time. I can see where having these routines made up for...

I'm set to do this one later this morning. Tri-sets are tough for me -- I do not look ofrward to leg workouts as it is -- it's good to read that this will go by quickly. I have to use my barbell for a lot of the exercises because I don't have heavy enough dumbbells. SO I do the plie squats with...
