    Why don't you like Rhythmic Step?

    Gosh, who doesn't like RS???? I love this one...it's an old fave! I had it on vhs two years ago, traded it away (why oh why???) and recently reacquired it (welcome home, RS!). I love the music, the choreography, everything. I guess it's something to do with being the first Cathe I ever owned...

    Cathe--concern about August rotation

    Thanks for your response, Cathe. I really appreciate your encouragement, even for those of us who are attempting vastly modified and altered versions of your rotation:) You're so right...I've already switched things around some to suit my knees and also to allow for my own personal goals, my...

    hubby's ex-wife died...

    {{{{{{{{{{HUGS & PRAYERS}}}}}}}}}}} No words of wisdom, DH and I are on our first marriages, so I have no experience like yours. But I just had to reply to let you know someone cares (I'm sure others do and will post with more and better postings) and is thinking of you and DH at a rough time.

    What are squat thrusts/climbers and walking lunges?

    Colleen, thanks for asking and, Kathryn, thanks for explaining! I knew about the squat thrust climbers from BC and the squat thrusts from PH. But the walking lunges had me wondering, though I thought they were as Kathryn described. Now I know for sure... Kathryn, I'll have to give your...

    August Rotation Posted...Look Out....

    Sabrina, you KNOW Cathe could do this:) Heck, she probably already has! I was stunned at first, but after printing it out and noting which workouts she is using that I'd have to sub in (because I don't have them all) and some of the other stuff (I also don't run...at least not yet), I think it...

    Cathe...please respond to the NYT article RE: Strength ...

    I just have to chime in...I think the article is interesting, but I am concerned it may be based on flawed research. Then I worry it will discourage less "educated" folks away from exercising. I'm lucky to be a reasonably good responder (at least I think I am:)). I've been working out...

    Johnny Depp...

    >Marla, I knew I really liked you ... but now even more so. > >We are so on the same page. Again, I agree with you. > >Marla > > FWIW, I agree with you ladies. I did enjoy him in Pirates of the Carribean (didn't know anything more about him then, but that he was odd and had been in...

    Not sure how to word this....

    I've read some of the anti-whooping posts at VF and I could never "get it"! I love the whooping! And I love Cedie (thank God Cathe has her keeping count!). I appreciate all the reasons anyone would whoop or whimper. Makes the workout more interesting and adds a fun factor to what otherwise can...

    Cathe or educated crowd - heart rate monitor really necessary?

    OTOH, I really like mine...at least when I turned off the sound. The beeping while warming up and cooling down got on my last nerve, not to mention the beeping if I wasn't working hard enough during the workout itself. And I have to work pretty hard now (mostly during low impact cardio...and I...

    I'm ready to start the fight Help me Cathe!

    You may "feel disgusting, depressed, awful", and you may be depressed, but you are NOT disgusting or awful! Now those doctors who are telling you to "be happy with (your) weight, here take more anti-depressants", they are disgusting and awful...alright their medicine is, not them. Anyway I...

    I got Bootcamp....

    Love, love, love Bootcamp...but then I love Muscle Endurance and Power Hour, too. Really, when Cathe says something only lasts a minute and you can do anything for that minute, it's pretty much true (yes, there are exceptions, but not here:)). In fact, the slower pace of Cathe's weight lifting...

    husbands

    Reba, I wish you all the luck in the world with this situation. The advice to quietly get help with your taxes is great, without any more arguing (which will be hard because you are at the boiling point)...so vent away here, dear. As to the savings account, I don't know how you can get him...

    Slim Series: What's the point?????

    Kit, did you go straight from that bed rest to Slim Series...what I mean is that these were your first workouts after recovering? If so, you are one awesome lady:) I wouldn't have recommended something as intensive as Slim Series at that time, but you did alright! I don't know about starting...

    Under Active Thyroid

    What sent me to the doctor was heart palpitations!!! That was scary! My hypothryoidism is called Hashimoto's Disease. I had no energy, was gaining weight, hair was thinning out...and my thyroid was full of nodules. Once I was on the Synthroid, I got back my old energy, it was possible to lose...

    Organized people: How do you do it all?

    Ah, but my house isn't that clean!! Actually we're still in the process of having a grown daughter move back in...long story. And she brought her three large dogs along and we have two of our own. And my dh is a certifiable, first-class pack rat:) DD does help with chores and the dogs, (I...

    SCOTT PETERSON---GUILTY!!!

    Thank God, they got him. May Laci and Connor rest in peace. As a mother of married daughters (who hopefully will have their own children one day:)), this case really bothered me. I love my SIL and cannot imagine the hell Laci's parents have been through.

    Whats your hobby?

    I consider working out a hobby...it's fun, it's primarily for me (though keeping me fit and healthy is good for my family:)), and collecting my fitness vids and books. I also like reading, posting on forums like this one, watching really old movies (like on FMC and TCM), sewing (will need a...
