    Some Questions About Sciatica

    Thanks for the reponses, ladies. So far all I know about my condition is that I've got "disk space narrowing at L5 and S1". I've only had this pain for a short while, but alreay it's making me crazy. It sounds like most of you felt a chiropractor helped. I've gone to my regular doctor and he...

    I need some dating advice.

    I'd just go for it if I were you. How about a simple, "do you want to have a drink/coffee sometime?". If he says yes, give him your phone number and ask for his so that you can set it up. Honestly, I'd rather have the short embarrassment of rejection then the long-term wonderings of "what...

    Some Questions About Sciatica

    Hi Guys. I've just been gifted with a HUGE bout of sciatica and I have a couple questions for anyone who has a clue. 1. Even though my left leg hurts all the way from the butt down, do you think it's okay to lift weights for upper body? I've done precisely zero workouts since this...

    another instructor etiquette ?

    I agree 100% with what Vrinda said. I would address her directly first, instead of going to the supervisor/coordinator. If one of my coworkers had a problem with me, I hope he/she would come to me first about it rather then going right to my boss. Now if you speak with her tactfully...

    Any more thought on how the dvds will be packaged?

    Is this case anything like the case that was used for CTX? (I can't tell from the picture). I don't really care for the CTX case. The part that holds DVD #1 (and flips back and forth) has caused some pretty serious scratching to the top of the 2nd DVD. Shelbygirl

    ATTENTION ALL DANCING WITH THE STARS FANS!!!

    I believe the stars are going to be announced live on the "Dance Wars" show next Monday night. I assume the announcement will come at the end of the show. (I'd hate to have to sit through the entire show (which in my opinion is kind of lame) just to find out). Shelbygirl

    Pet Vaccine Nightmare!!

    Hi Chastity. What a rough time you've all had, but I'm glad to hear your pooch is doing better. I have cats, and the only vaccines I get are the rabies/distemper one. I don't even like making them get that shot. I had a cat who got cancer from either the rabies or the leukemia vaccine...

    Can circuit workouts fit in with an STS rotation?

    During an STS rotation, can we still do one day a week of a circuit workout (like LIC or SJP)? It will be easy enough to work in a few days of cardio around the three STS weight lifting days, but I'm not sure how to work in circuits (or if it's even recommended). Normally when I do three day...

    Just curious on who's ordered STS, who's waiting.....

    I definitely plan on pre-ordering, but I'm just waiting for the first price increase announcement. I don't need to be one of the first to receive this set, since it's doubtful I'll drop whatever rotation I'm in the middle of at the time to switch to this one. (I like to begin new rotations at...

    Best Series to Prep for STS?

    Lynda, Maybe try to do something that resembles STS? Start with some endurance workouts for a few weeks (Muscele Endurance, Muscle Max, The Pyramids perhaps). Then move onto to Pure Strength or the Gym Styles for a while. Lastly, follow it all up with a Slow & Heavy rotation. Shelbygirl

    Any One Cave into STS

    I'll definitely preorder (the series sounds great), but I have no reason to do so until right before the presale price changes. I'm not worried about the cost, but it makes more sense to me to keep my $$ in my pocket for as long as possible (kind of like when I do my tax return and I owe $$...I...

    Cardio Coach 4 or 5?

    I'd go with #4. For me, the music is better and the challenges are be more "fun". I'd have to say that the intensity is similar in both, but the time seemed to go much faster with #4. Shelbygirl

    Yikes heart rate 165 for 41 YO female?

    When I do Cardio Coach on my bike at home, my heart rate often goes up to 170 or so. That's completely normal for me. (I'm 42 by the way). Shelbygirl

    What toning set to get after Pyramids?

    The Gym Styles are great, but you might also want to consider Pure Strength. It's a bit dated (in terms of everyone's appearance) but it's good old fashion weight lifting, which I love. The Gymle Styles are definitely more interesting, but theres just something I really like about PS.

    strength training

    Here's what I've done in the past: Day 1: PUB Day 2: cardio Day 3: 1/2 hour cardio plus PLB standing stuff only (I hate floor work) Day 4: off Day 5: total body weight workout or circuit Day 6: cardio Day 7: off

    Need an honest opinion...

    I have seen some fairly revealing (in my opinion) avatar pictures on this site, but this is definitely not one of them. I think it's a great picture. I wouldn't change it. Shelbygirl

    Paper plates on carpet?

    How do you think paper plates would work on rubber flooring or even on concrete? I work out in my basement on thick rubber mats, which are over a concrete floor. Thanks, Shelbygirl

    What non-Cathe DVDs have you pre-ordered?

    I preordered both of Amy's and three of Tracy's. That's it for me for this year (unless Kimberly Spreen comes out with some kind of cardio workout). Luckily I don't click with Kelly Coffee's weight work, so I can pass on that one, and I don't do that much step anymore, so I can pass on the...

    Amy Bento Presale

    I also ordered both from Amy's site. I'm looking foward for these, probably more than any other 2008 planned offerings. Shelbygirl
