Less "slide and glide" cardio moves. I have rubber matting in my workout space so I mostly stutter and stick!

Does anyone have any experience with ordering from prAna? They offer a program for certified fitness instructors that gives you up to a 50% discount off of their full retail prices. I am very tempted, but really have never heard of the company. Any insight would be appreciated, Thanks, Debbie

We are the proverbial kids in the candy store, no?

Hi Lisa, I am 5'11" and wear a size 6 and have a 35 1/2" inseam. I love Athleta Clothing but it's not in my budget - I find that Old Navy's tall size workout clothing, including tops, fit me. The quality is not that of Athleta but O.N. is tons cheaper. I am loving the new 7/8th style legging...

Has anybody tried these? I am always skeptical of info-mercial workouts -- but this actually looks like fun. Thanks, Debbie

a great re-hab exercise is to "air-write" the alphabet with your foot. "Writing" works the muscles through a complete, non-impact, range-of-motion. If you are so inclined, air-writing a list of "swear words" works too :)

JMO - but I don't really believe a DUI is a private issue. Anyone, no matter how wonderful they are, who gets a DUI has put my life and the lives of those I love at risk.

40/20 is a great work out to build up your HITT stamina. Next time you do this workout try doing the intervals as 20/40. Watch the counter, either start or finish 20 seconds before Cathe. Once you master 20/40, do 25/35; then 30/30, etc. I use this technique with my clients on a regular basis...

I wonder how many people would try out for this show if there was no cash prize at the end. Has anyone ever quit in the middle of production?

It's a good thing Cathe has never tried to sell us swamp land in Florida because I would be first in line to pre-order!

I LOVE living in Sarasota. Went to the beach today, high of 81 degrees:cool: I moved here from NJ about 18 years ago. I pull out the sweaters when the temps dip into the 60's - I am such a light-weight now! Happy to provide any information that I can. Keep warm! Debbie Russo

Stacy, I would stay away from a light gray wall coloring, I think that the deeper gray of the carpet will cast shadows of the green on to the walls, especially as the lighting in the room changes throughout the day. My thought would be to go with a taupe color slightly lighter than your...

I'll let you know tomorrow, haha

Jodi, I had the same problem with too much bar and not enough space. I had the really long "chrome" barbell. I hack-sawed 6" off each end. Worked great. I now have a shorter barbell that weighs 10# instead of 15#! Debbie Russo

4 day Split Boot Camp. No step combos, easy blasts and very very easy to modify intensity. Your husband may even like it! Debbie

Thank you for the suggestions. the Musical Instrument Museum seems great (my husband is a guitarist, so he will love it!). I found out that the Desert Botanical Garden has a night tour, so that should be fun (and maybe cooler!). It has been raining so much and so often here on the west coast...

Several months ago I made travel plans to visit my god-daughter and her boyfriend in Scottsdale. Airline tickets - check; rental car - check; house rented - check; god-daughter still living in Scottsdale - uh.... no! Got a phone call out of the blue, she left her boyfriend and moved back...

Does anyone in Catheland subscribe to Birchbox, the monthly "beauty" delivery subscription? Seems like it would be fun to get samples of new products each month. Thanks, Debbie

I am 57 and my husband is 59. We have both been working out with Cathe since her MegaStep workout - early 90's. I am an ACE certified health and fitness coach and a personal trainer. (Second career - started in 2001) While mentally our ages freak me out, physically it is a non-issue. We both do...

Happy Birthday Cathe! Thanks to you being in my 50's is not as scary as I thought it would be!
