    Need help with trip to London

    I have taken a couple of group family tours with Tauck. This was great because the kids met other kids their age and we were able to get into the Vatican in Rome and the Academia in Florence to see the David. We also had naturalist guides at Yellowstone and in Glacier National Park. For London...

    Low Max - full workout or premixes?

    I am transitioning to Intermediate level after completing the beginner rotation. I did Steps sections and blasts 1-4 twice, before attempting the whole tape. I did 1-6 without a glitch, but could only finish half of interval 7 before pooping out. I used the 4 inch step on this one, though I do 6...

    Workout Shoe 911

    I just got a new pair of the Kelly Ripa Assist XT's. I ordered them directly from Ryka and they took almost 2 weeks to come. Zappos would have had them here right away and they are actually a bit less expensive at Zappos, too. Anyway, I love these shoes. They needed no break-in time at all...

    Thanks for your support Beg to Int

    PS: I have "rug burn" on my chin from when I fell off the ball. I need to think of a good story to tell, since no one would understand how I actually hurt myself :)

    Thanks for your support Beg to Int

    Pyramid Lower Body is my plan for today. I will need to figure out the bar. My husband has one, but I have never more than glanced at it. My upper body hurt so much when I woke up this morning that I was sweating. It hurt to lift my coffee cup! 4 Advil later and I am human. I will do PUB again...

    financial advice

    Look at all of your credit card bills and check the interest rates on them. Pay the one with the highest rate first, making substantial payments on it and small, regular payments on the rest. Get an AmEx card and use only that one. They require that you pay your balance at the end of each month...

    He just doesn't get it!!!!

    Getting your business off the ground My husband and I started and ran a home health/nursing company for many years, so I can give you some advice on that end, if you like. It had many similarities to a recruiting firm. We were able to sell it very profitably, which has provided the financial...

    Inspired! Thank you every one for your honesty, ideas and encouragement. I will remind myself each day that it is up to me and that I am in charge of my own road to fitness. I am committed to try Low Impart Circuit and the Pyramids. I am going to order a kickboxing workout today. I will keep...

    Completed the "Official Beginner Rotation" - now what?

    I have completed the Beginner Rotation provided by Cathe. I have been dabbling in some of her other workouts, but I don't feel ready for a full-on Intermediate Rotation. I have been doing LowMax, Low Intensity Step off of 4 Day Split and the 109 minute step/weight work mix from LowImpact Step. I...

    Not such a Happy Easter...

    (((((Morningstar))))) Congratulations on achieving your race under such stressful circumstances. I admire your perseverance and self-belief. I know that the next time I want to quit, I will think of you and keep going. An important lesson I have learned in life is that we don't pick our families...

    An Intermediate Series would be great !!!!

    I love the idea of a series like this. I have some back issues and I'm not sure I'll ever get to the highest level of intensity that Cathe offers, yet I love exercising with her and don't want to give it up. Many of us who love step started in the 80's and our joints and spines are not as youg...

I do have some lower back issues, and I am worried that if I get...
