    Registered pet names

    Oaks Dessert Wind - Makes me mad. His name is supposed to be Oaks Desert Wind. Somebody couldn't spell!!! We got him when he was 12. We call him Serts (pronounced Certs, like the breath mint). Oh, and he's a 19 yo Arabian gelding (horse). :D (Not the horse in my avatar...that's Tanna, an...

    sub/walk/run 30min?

    The idea is an interval workout. Do you have one of the Imaxes or Low Max? If so, I'd do one of the premixes with half of the intervals. April

    STS 3 months versus 6 months

    If one does a 6-month rotation with STS (week 1, week 1, week 2, week 2), should the recovery weeks still be every 4 weeks or every 8 weeks? April

    Quinoa - Which Food Group?

    Hi, All, I have some quinoa that I want to try for the first time. My diet consists mostly of things I can fit into a food pyramid category (Grains, fruits, veggies, beans, dairy). I can't figure which category quinoa fits in. Is it grains or veggies or beans (protein)?? Thanks, April

    My exercise partner...

    I don't put our dog on the treadmill for weight loss. She doesn't need it either. She's perfectly healthy and I don't want her to lose weight. But it is good exercise for her and drains some excess energy. And it's just too cute not to do. ;) Even when I'm not in weight loss mode, I still...

    Health Insurance Insanity!

    We just switched to a high deductible plan, too. It's just me and DH. We have a $3850 deductible and that's for both of us. We pay 100% until we hit the deductible and then the insurance pays 100%. So for well people visits, we pay, but if we have an accident, the insurance will take over after...

    My exercise partner...

    Hi, Kay, Serena is a heeler mix. Not sure of the other part. She's about 50 pounds. Yesterday, she laid on the floor between the step and the tv while I did Basic Step. :) She's a very sweet dog. April

    Step on the BOSU

    I've done Basic Step on the bosu. It was SO much fun! I don't usually do Basic Step since I love the higher complexity, but doing the basic stuff on the bosu was great. Spiced it up and I didn't feel like it was too scary. I'm afraid of turning an ankle on the more complicated stuff with the...

    creating a rotation

    In the list on the right when creating a rotation, in alphabetical order among the Cathe DVDs are 3 other options. Cardio, Weight, and Yoga. You can choose one of these to put in your rotation and then put the particulars (like type of cardio machine, how long, etc) in the description box. April

    Using the Nutrition Program

    What I do for my foods is find a similar food in the database and then create a custom food from that food. I fill in the information from my label. Anything that isn't specifically on the label, I leave the program values there. April

    America's 10 healthiest grocery stores

    Interesting about Food Lion. I specifically go to FL for vegetarian yogurt. I have a Whole Foods, but I can get vegetarian yogurt for 10 cents an ounce at FL and have to pay way more than that at WF. Wonder if Target has vegetarian yogurt? April

    Basic/Intermediate/Advanced 12 Week Rotation

    This rotation looks really good! I have a lot of the dvds and between those, I have enough to fill in the blanks that I don't have. I think this is a wonderful way to get back in shape after an absence or an injury or whatever. Thanks for sharing it. I created (and shared) this rotation in...

    I'm yawning during workouts???

    I tend to do this when I exercise anaerobically for too long at a time. I dial down the intensity some and things are better. If I ignore it, I end up having breathing issues even when not exercising, so I've learned to pay attention. I do go anaerobic, but do it for short bursts and make sure I...
