Just general fat loss Hi Dianne: As Nancy said, around the knees is just another cool place to store fat. About 3 years ago, my knees started doing this and I freaked. I've always carried my fat in my belly and hips and this was an unwelcome development, to say the least. I was afraid that...

You are in peak condition I didn't lose much aerobic capacity at all during my pregnancies. According to an article I read in Runners World a year or so ago, the added weight actually introduces a training element. In fact, just wait until after delivery and your lungs suddenly have all that...

Shaky triceps :-) I hear you on those cross body kickbacks. There's something about the angle of them that gets me every time. It's perfectly normal to have to go lighter on the exercises you've named, which isolate the triceps pretty effectively. On the shaking, in addition to the...

Morning Fitness has been a part of my life since I was 19, but at age 40, with a fulltime job and 2 preschoolers at home, I'm able to be more consistent than ever in my life, simply because of switching to mornings. I don't have any magic formula to make the switch painless. It helps to go...

Cool! That could almost be a picture of my garage. All the paint cans look very familiar. You just need some bags of grass seed, charcoal and few hundred gardening implements. (Just some ideas for the next new set. )

Hi Kim Well, I wrote one of those reviews, so this may be a re-hash of what you've already read. I like this video a lot, but be warned that it is very different from one of Cathe's strength training videos and will give you very different benefits and results than Cathe's. (And I love...

One more reason to buy them I need company in the poor house! This is a longterm investment you will never regret. Eight videos for $90? It's too good to be true. And you know that anything Cathe and Step N Motion produces is guaranteed to be a quality workout. I took a kickboxing class...

I can't wait! I have a feeling I may be doing double workouts for a while after these new tapes arrive. I just won't be able to wait to do them all! Oh and this is probably the perfect time to tell you that I've already got some ideas for your next tapes, right? Cathe ... are you there...

What I do I think it's OK to rest the barbell either in front or in back. I used to find it very uncomfortable to rest the heavy barbell across the front of my shoulders. But when I shifted the barbell to my back, I found that the exercise didn't feel as effective. That's just me --...

I don't know the answer But your question looked so lonely ... I just had to post something! Actually, I also wanted to ask you for a clarification. Are you saying that, with the new schedule, you'll be teaching double muscle-sculpting classes twice per week? For example, MS Class #1 & MS...

Hi Anna! Well, all I can tell you is what I've learned from my own experience with strength training -- maybe some of this will be helpful. (1) It can be tough to increase the amount you're lifting upper body wise if you're using dumbells or barbell plates that jump up in big increments. For...

Have I got a deal for you! Kimberly, www.onehanesplace.com carries all the Champion bras. Bonus -- they're cheaper from One Hanes Place and even cheaper when you buy them on-line vs. the OHP catalog. I've wrestled with a few sweaty sports bras in the not-so-distant past and have given the...

The other lunatic checking in! Hi Heather: Sounds to me as if you need a new step, young lady! You definitely need an option between the 8" and 4" height. I set my step height depending on how I feel while I'm working out. I usually use an 8" step, but sometimes I use 6" and sometimes...

Outer Banks in July -- Me too! No message.

Step ups <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON May-18-00 AT 04:03PM (EST)</font></center> The most important thing is to keep your weight in the heel of the working leg (the leg that remains on the step/stool/tallbox), NOT the ball of your foot. If the resistance is balanced...

Another Swede! No, I'm not Swedish, but my husband is of Swedish descent (Magnuson) and I live with a 19-year old Swedish au pair. I can't remember what city Petra is from right now ... she is our 4th Swedish au pair. One year we had a Norwegian au pair. My husband likes to torture the poor...

Welcome, James You're probably too young for "Sweet Baby James" to have much signifance to you, Sarah, but as a pre-teen, this was one of the "must have" James Taylor albums. And now you have your very own, must have Sweet Baby James. Congratulations on a beautiful healthy baby, a short...

Theres always room! We love WSHIL's in the poor house! Bring your BALL! Nancy -- I can't help you on the matter of the size of your ball. You'll just know when it's right.

Uh-Oh I may be the only person at the homeless shelter with a VCR, if I keep spending money like this. :D

Over the counter fertility tests I used the over-the-counter fertility tests a lot when my husband and I were trying to conceive. The downside is that they are expensive, so if your cycle is long and unpredictable, you might end up going through more than one kit. On the plus side, I found...
