    This Sucks!!!

    Sarah, what a wonderful way to look at an injury that has me cringing...please take it easy and let yourself mend. My feet are hurting for you...but I'm glad your kids didn't get this glass in their little feet!

    OUT SOURCING...

    I'm sorry about the young man losing his job, but he is young and I'm sure he'll be working again very soon, and in something at least as promising as his old job. Gracenote and Catwoman, I appreciate both your posts and agree with you. We have a Canon plant in our town. And all over the...

    Marie, funny you should bring this up...I did this one this afternoon as part of my CTX week (then I added on the Biceps from the next segment...). The cardio portions of this series always leave me soaked, with sweat running into my poor eyes (unless I happen to remember my headband...thank...

    Thanks, Kassia! I'd already found it under the "catalog" tab and then checked music under "Buyer's Guide".

    I'm just about to go in search of this myself...what is on this cd? Is it the music from her workout dvds??? She has some awesome music. I'm doing CTX this week and am delighted with the music every day:) Off to see if I can find this item:)

    Power Hour w/dumbbells

    Melissa, I've been lamenting our lost barbell for ages. It's buried in either a shed or our garage...has been since we moved here nearly 15 years ago!!! So I get by with my dumbells and frankly, with my dicey elbow and shoulder, these work beautifully. Sometimes I think controlling two dumbells...

    Workouts to alternate with Cathe?

    Finding an alternative to Cathe will depend on the instructor's personality, the type of workout, things like different settings and styles...it's pretty tricky. The advice to check out what's at your library or on Netflix or Blockbuster is good. You'll get some ideas of what else you like...

    It's that time of year - Sugar Season!

    Forget it!!! Resist??? It's futile...I'm a confirmed chocoholic...I love it as much as I love working out!!! Fortunately, so far, the big temptation is a candy dish on the secretary's desk in our Customer Service Center...And the only time I'm up there AND there's candy available is when we're...

    Music on new DVDS

    So far I've never been disappointed by the music on Cathe's workouts. My intros to Cathe were Rhythmic Step and Power Hour and I love the music on both of those...though I don't recognize a single tune:)

    Is 50 too old to start?

    I'm not Cathe, but as she's "only" 40 (last month I believe?), so let me take a crack at this one... I turned 52 back at the end of April, JoAnn. I had worked out off and on for years. The last time I got on the exercise wagon was back in late December 2002, when I was 49 and facing the big...

    The Announcement - FINALLY!

    Well, cool! Though I have no idea if we can get CCETV on our Directv service????? The new workouts sound really promising, Cathe...I have to admit I'm tempted (my cc's are crying). Thanks for FINALLY being able to tell us what's up...and this sounds like good news:)

    Is too much step aerobics bad for the KNEES?

    I don't do step on consecutive days. It's just asking for trouble IMO. Crosstraining is definitely the best way to go. Keeps things fresh and also helps prevent possible overuse issues.

    Why don't I feel sore?

    Kathryn, I've noticed this, too. I was shocked at how little I had DOMS doing Cathe's August Rotation and that one was a killer:) So thanks for your insights! A really good sign I'm doing things right is how much better my form is when I'm repeating a particular workout, how much easier it is...

    Appalled With How Federal Government Handled Katrina Disaster

    I'm not sure why it's taking so long for the government to accept help from the Dutch or any other country. The oil may be easy because it's something...but people on the ground or help...DH told me of a group of law officers that got themselves together and started south, hoping to get the...

    Appalled With How Federal Government Handled Katrina Disaster

    RE: Appalled With How Federal Government Handled Katrin... Buttercup, thanks so much for your logical and well-thought posts and the info from the links...those took some time! Also your perspective as a Floridian and your DH's link to NO. Your posts have been refreshing to read in light of the...

    My home is about to become a shelter (Katrina)

    No advice...but thank God for kind and loving folks like you. Yes, I think requesting they take advantage of the homeschool study center is a great idea. You'll have some peace and quiet in your own home and they might find it a nice break from all they're going through and a big help with the...

    Family okay, but lost everything in Hurricane

    Sandra, don't know when you'll get this...but letting you know how good it is to know you and family are okay. I'm so sorry you lost everything...but you're right about realizing what is really important. And that is so good to know you have your jobs (though having to relocate...something so...

    All You in Virginia

    Haven't heard anything like this, but I can tell you, here in Newport News/Yorktown area, cheaper grades of gas are often simply gone. People are lining up to get any gas that is "cheaper" now. We've got both our truck and the van topped off and have cancelled a trip to the Bowling Green area...

    Rhythmic Step

    If I watched all my workouts first, I'd probably never get around to doing them!!! Also I don't know if it would help me much...my feet need to go through the motions so THEY know what to do!!! So another stumbler here...so far it's worked for me and btw, the more step I do, with the more...
