The Kettlebell Way, Vols. 1 and 2, would be nice next steps for you. They're expensive (as so many of the KB workouts are!), but are great. Vol. 1 is a bit easier, and Vol. 2 is a bit harder and designed to step you up to do Art of Strength's (AOS's) Newport DVD. Here is a link to The KB Way...

Thanks, dreamyjeanie! That's what it sounded like, but I wasn't sure . . . .

Hi Cathe, On the Cathe TV thread, you mentioned that you'll be doing STS along with us each week, along with the Cathe TV videos. I know that things are still very tentative right now, but do you have any idea of when you're planning on starting the rotation with us? Does it still look...

Bumping . . . . I'm not sure about this either! I thought someone explained it before, but I can't find anything about it.

Bumping! This is another one of the exercises that has me stumped, too!

I pre-ordered the very first day (I think mine was the first order placed :o), and, although it's taken a lot longer to get the workouts than I imagined it would, it is definitely going to be worth the wait! We are getting such a huge savings by doing the pre-order, so here's another vote for...

What exciting news! The idea of Cathe TV sounds like so much fun!

Thanks, Karin! I am so relieved! :)

The ortho just called with wonderful news: it's not a torn meniscus, probably just a bad case of tendinitis! Woo hoo! That means that I won't need surgery. He's referring me to PT, and told me that using a stationary bike (either recumbent or upright) would be perfect, as long as I raise the...

Thanks so much for your input, Karen! I had searched the Cathe forums awhile back for knee injuries, and came across some of your old posts, which were really helpful to read. Getting a three-month gym membership sounds like a good idea so I can try out the bikes! What kind of spinning bike...

I have the Gliding Disks, and they work great. I bought the ones for carpet, but they actually also work just fine on the rubber puzzle mats that I bought a few months afterwards. Just be careful -- they are really slippery!

Nan, no, you're not defective -- just extra special! :) That is really interesting that the biking and riding hurt your knee more than step and kickbox. I wish I could say the same, but any kind of pressure is painful, and I've been limping for a few weeks now. I miss doing my Cathe workouts...

Parkercp, has your knee been better? Hope so! Mine has been bugging me for over a year also, but has gotten worse since October, when it made an odd noise one day when I was doing lunges. The Orthopedist told me that he's booking two months out for surgery, so it'll be awhile before I get it...

Thank you all so much for the great responses and cycling tips! I really, really appreciate it! While waiting for the Dr. to get in touch, I'll research the upright bikes a bit more. I used to regularly go to spinning classes, and they are one of the things I miss most about working out at...

Ooh, that is a nice one! I keep mine on the floor, too. :o

Thanks so much, Stebby! It's great to get some early feedback. I hope that your knee issues have been better lately! I'd actually been hoping to talk my hubby into getting a spin bike, but that's not likely . . . .;)

I was thinking of getting this one, too. Ivy, can I ask you how many times a week you were doing it to get those results? :)

Bumping for you! I'd love to know the same thing. :)

Hi Wendy, Just wanted to check to see if you heard back from Coach Sean. Did you try to make his class this morning? :)

Hi everyone, I've been dealing with a problematic knee the last couple of months, and haven't been able to do my usual cardio at all :(, so I'm trying to look into other alternatives. I'm waiting to hear back from the Orthopedist with my MRI results, but, when I met with him before Christmas...
