    Need your feedback on Cardio Hits

    Cardio Hits is definitely not a DVD to outgrow -- it has three really fun step workouts on it that are pretty challenging. Power Max, in fact, can kill you if you are not in tip-top condition. Tobermory

    I miss John Denver!

    Actually, he didn't leave Annie -- she left him. So did his second wife. He was a really hard person to live with. But I also miss him and wonder why the oldies stations NEVER play his music -- he was HUGE in the '70s and now they act like he never existed. Tobermory

    Question/Opinions about Cathe's Ultimate Guide and the One at the Top of this Page

    suggestion for kid's books

    Try Bunnicula (tale of a vampire rabbit) and the other books by James Howe -- my 7-year-old really loved them. As for girl books, she read a series of graphic novels and is now reading chapter books called WITCH about a group of girl friends. Right now she is reading Time Cat, which I read...

    Hello Ladies, I got in at 4:30 a.m. so I don't think I am up to a Cathy workout, but I did walk the puppy the 3-1/2 miles home from the kennel, so that is at least something. Tomorrow, I hope to do S&H Chest and Back and some abs, along with walking Miss Agnes. Thanks for letting me join...

    Has anyone been to Mexico?

    I have to disagree with the others -- I have been to the Mayan Riviera and it is lovely and fun, but once you have seen the Pacific coast of Mexico, the Mayan Peninsula looks like nothing. I highly recommend Ixtapa -- stunning and lots of snorkeling, surfing, sailing, swimming, etc. And...

    what do you do when DH constantly wants

    This is emotional manipulation and abuse, plain and simple. All men are not like this -- they are not soley focused on their physical wants and disinterested in a woman's feelings and desires. You absolutely should not be putting up with this, and his behavior alone is what is making you...

    Running question

    I had my husband, who is a very experienced marathon and ultra runner, read your question. Here is his response: This appears to be a clear case of overtraining. Most people going for a new distance in running should not combine speed training with distance training unless they are truly...
