    new videos ?

    I want my DVD I like the idea of splitting them up (I also like the idea of the 6 workouts like they are), but must suggest just one tiny change. Could you possibly put one warm-up and one cool-down (maybe the simplest) on the weight DVD, so it is complete in itself. I don't have a DVD...

    8 New Videos This Summer!

    Wow- I love the set of 6!!!!! I heard there were 8 new Cathes coming out, and said- "Oh, better figure out which 5 I want." Well, I want all 8!! I do believe I could be convinced to start with just 6 though. Please, oh please put these on DVD. Loving the CircuitMax, and I am dying to try...

    How big can I get? :)

    Ummm- really, really big! I too am short, and have larger babies, and must say, you will be surprised. Some of how you feel has to do with how your baby is positioned in you- nothing you can do, just a fact. I found that my first son, who was breech had his head up near my ribs, but my...

    Lack of sleep

    I knnnow what you mean. Cathe- It feels so good to hear you say this. I have had this problem since my first son was born (nearly five years), and didn't exercise regularly for the first two. I do not have great gains, but do notice slow improvement. I will not exercise if I am overly...

    Pregnancy after Lasik

    Thanks for the vivid description! I am so glad to hear what happens during the surgery. I knew they would have all sorts of ways of keeping ones eye still during the operation. I knew I couldn't be the only person squeamish about that! I am so happy to hear all of you say how great the...

    Pregnancy after Lasik

    Glad you mentioned that. I am really big on rubbing my eyes. I think I will have to practice now. And definitely wait till I am through breastfeeding, even though it has been 11 months. Today my son crawled up me and whacked me really hard in the nose with his head. And he likes to play...

    Pregnancy after Lasik

    Wow- Thanks! It does sound great. Now I need to put aside the money and get over my squeamishness at the same teme. I did get over putting my fingers in my eyes with contacts, so I am certain I can get over this. Especially for a great outcome!! I figure if my optometrist trusts this Dr...

    Pregnancy after Lasik

    Can't answer your question, but- I would love to ask you one. I have thought about this, but haven't quite made up my mind. I am a bit queasy about eye surgery. Is it scary? I have a hard time even looking at pictures of this kind of thing, but that's normal, right? They expect that, and...

    Total Caloric Intake

    Don't Change Anything- yet. Holly- If you are maintaining your weight with your current routine, then I wouldn't change a thing. If you are getting results and things are working for you, trust yourself. If you are concerned, then keep a food diary, and decide from there. I think 1200 is...

    What should I eat before A.M. strength training?

    Spirutein Shakes I love these- has anyone found a cheap source for them? I can never find them, except at the expensive health food stores, and would love a cheaper source. I have tried some of the soy shakes, and found a few really gross ones, as well as a couple of OK ones. Spirutein and...

    Braxton Hicks

    ooops!! Sorry, I should have said slow down. Mine never really stopped either. PS- I am not sure whether or not it is "normal"- they said I had an irritable uterus.

    Braxton Hicks

    This is not meant to be a final answer, but I had this problem with my pregnancy, and it really scared me, as I had no contractions at all with my first. What it comes down to is that as long as they are BH contractions, that is fine. Your doctor should have some guidelines to go by that will...

    To Chris: How are Cathe, Jon and Eric?

    Perfect. What a perfect description of the first few weeks. It really does take a while to "wake up" and join the rest of the world again. Cathe enjoy this time. It is such a wonderful time. There is such a purity in those first few days that is lost far too soon. BLinda

    low impact cardio exercise

    One Idea is Belly Dance. This is not a very intense cardio exercise, but it actually addresses the areas you mentioned. It is great for flexibility (isolating and separately moving various body parts) and agility. It is a no impact workout. It really is not very strenuous, and won't do a lot...

    physics of aerobics

    Biomechanics books might be helpful. I am sorry, I can't name a specific great book, but you may be able to find important knee/leg information that will help. Maybe you could do a vector analysis with average leg lengths and various step heights. A human biomechanics book should be able to...

    December Pregnancy Update!

    Sounds about right! For my first pregnancy, the last months were fine (except for classes- I couldn't fit in those chairs with the attached desks). The second time I couldn't wait for it to be over- everything was a bit sore, except my hips which really hurt. He was quite a bit more active...

    OH, HOW COULD I FORGET!

    Kathy S-That is just too funny! I think there must be something in the air. Or maybe over the airwaves. Evan wasn't all that popular a name when we chose it, but we meet them everywhere. I can't be too surprised that Alex is popular, although it wasn't actually in the top 10 the year Alex...

    OH, HOW COULD I FORGET!

    I was laughing so hard... When I read your reply. I shouldn't admit this, but Alex is really Evan Alexander, so actually, I have Evan and Kevin. Really, we wanted to go with Alex, but Alexander Evan didn't sound as good. I joke that if I have a third boy he will be Steven (I have a Devin...

    OH, HOW COULD I FORGET!

    GreatName! I love the name Eric- It is my husbands name. He was adamant that we could NOT have a little Eric, so even though I have 2 boys, I was not allowed to choose that one- even for a middle name. I am very happy with their names- Alex and Kevin, but if I were to have a third boy, I just...
