Oh, and one more thing, ringworm is transmissible to humans, so wash your hands well after touching the cat.

I'm a veterinary technician, and there are many causes for a bald spot, the primary causes being ringworm or possibly mange. Some sort of infection would not be surprising in a shelter cat. A vet will have to examine the spot and may need to perform a skin scraping and/or culture to determine...

Not Cathe here, but thought I'd chime in. Diet pills are definitely not the way to go. Sounds like whatever you're taking has a stimulant in it, and you are risking heart damage. Stick with WeightWatchers, it works. That is the program I follow. No, your metabolism is not shot. There is...

"The one thing that really p***s me off is that every single DVD (and the CD) have circular scratches (in the direction of the 'tracks', not deep, look superficial) on them, and some have deeper, small scratches on. I haven't previewed the DVD's yet, but IMO, even if they play fine now...

Jonahnah, I had not noticed that in the STS clips (looking straight ahead during deadlifts). Maybe people feel they need to look right at the camera? I have not watched the workouts yet, but my plan is to start Chalean Extreme after completing STS. Chalean will be my strength training...

Oops, I meant Burn Basics, not Learn and Burn.

I watched the Learn and Burn and it really bothered me that her husband was looking straight at the camera while doing deadlifts, instead of keeping his head aligned with his spine.

I say you NEED Muscle Max! It is my favorite Cathe workout. It does have lower body and upper body premixes, and I use it frequently in conjunction with the GS workouts. It also rounds out my muscle endurance rotations nicely. It's just a great all-around workout. However, 4DS offers good...

She uses 20 lbs on the barbell for the biceps. The first time I did ME, I thought "That's it?" until I tried the biceps section. I was so proud the first time I got through all the biceps work!

I think my thread (Am I doing something wrong with my 1RM?) addressed this. I have been entering the combined weight of the dumbbells because that is the total resistance on the body part I am working. I think people are doing it both ways, though. I wouldn't think it makes much of a...

I started entering my 1RM into the workout manager, and I noticed that it shows the average of all of them that are entered. Some of mine are much, much higher than the average. I have been entering the total weight for the body part I'm working (such as 41 lbs TOTAL for a 1RM for a double...

Thanks for the list, it's very helpful.

Oh, bummer! I kind of thought I would be able to use it as a squat rack. That's understandable, though. Still looking forward to buying the Power Tower!

STS! At this point, I would just order STS. You can do STS for weights and continue doing cardio at the gym. But it is a tough choice--if you're looking for quick and dirty, 4DS does the trick. If you are *able*, I would get both STS and 4DS; 4DS is great for a quick workout, and STS will...

I have early-onset DOMS just from watching that--can't wait to feel the burn!

Thanks, Shayne! Do you currently work as a PT?

Okay, after all of the various feedback I have gotten, I am seeing if I can cancel my order with ACE and I would get the NASM course stuff instead. But after researching jobs in my area (Minneapolis), it appears that any certification is acceptable and many want a 4-year degree as well. So I...

Thanks, all. I'm actually just finishing a degree in exercise psychology (not physiology) and thought that being certified as a personal trainer would be helpful. I figure ACE must be acceptable as it is accredited, but now I kind of wish I had done a little more research (I actually did not...

Oh dear. Has she had to have surgery for a foreign body yet? I'm just waiting for the day when my dog gets a foreign body from eating to many sticks.

Congrats on your loss, and especially on maintaining it! I am always impressed by people who maintain their losses (MUCH harder than losing, I think). Yes, I really think STS will kick both our butts and launch us right to our goals.
