    I saw something at the gym last night I'd never seen before.....

    Wow - that double step You Tube video looks like so much fun!!! There's lots of interesting moves there. Thanks for the link.

    Is anyone else a bit disturbed by VW's ads?

    Punch Bug - we not only still play it, but it has been enhanced in recent years. How about "Cruiser Bruiser"? That's when you punch someone whenever you see a PT Cruiser, and one of my interns (who is about 25 years younger than me!) introduced me to Ram Bam (in which you ram the top of your...

    Newspaper as a weed barrier in garden

    I've been doing this for many years. If you use the newspaper, use a lot of layers (4-8), and for the best results, wet them down either before you put them down, or immediately afterward. If you wet them down prior to putting them down, use a bucket of water to dunk them into. Putting...

    Montreal, Toronto, Niagara Falls

    I lived in Niagara Falls NY for 25+ years and still work there every day. The deal for the Niagara Parks pass is pretty good - the Maid of the Mist is 14.50 CA and 13.50 US by itself. The other tours are good - it will be a full day of site seeing if you do the pass. If you don't do ALL the...

    Shock Cardio-anyone else a little disappointed?

    Wow - I've just got to say that I am really amazed at the fitness levels of some of the participants on this board. Even Cathe is winded in these workouts, and some people think the workouts are only intermediate! Wow! Even Collage rates these workouts as advanced (except for Travel Fit) -...

    Knee squeak

    My left knee squeaks, too, and it's from doing step before I realized that it was very important to keep one's legs in good alignment - doing Susan Powter in the early 90's! Don't let the knees skew out to one side or the other, especially when doing step. The squeak still continues if I'm...

    Clothing and shoes in STS Shock Cardio

    I'm at work, and don't have the DVD's available, but this information is listed in the credits of the DVD's. Check there.

    where's the coupon code?

    Wow - you're right - there wasn't a coupon code enclosed in my package, either. I don't plan on taking advantage of the download, but . . .

    Stickers for Cathe Calendar

    I had this problem, too. I'm going to post the link here, but if it doesn't work, look in the threads from September 26th - someone here very kindly answered this question for me, too! http://204.2.106.25/Stickers_Start.htm I hope it works! Once I got it to work, I actually downloaded...

    H1N1 Shots offered in PA

    Having just gotten over (well, not completely!) H1N1 myself, I recommend that people take the chance and get the shot - the disease isn't much fun, trust me! Shots just aren't available in my area, and it is a very contagious disease. In fact, the symptoms being described in another thread...

    What to do with changes in cat behavior?

    This will be ugly for a while, but try covering the area that the cat likes to claw with clear tape. Just apply the tape over the scratching area. The tape underside is sticky and she won't want to claw through the stickiness. I have used lots of the deterrent sprays and frankly, not one of...

    Link for 2010 Calendar?

    I'm trying to be on of the first 500 people, but see that there isn't yet a place to order the calendar - will it be up soon? Or, am I missing it?

    How much are you like your parents?

    Wow - this question is one that I've contemplated for many, many years. I dislike my mother, haven't spoken with her for many years, and hope to heaven I never do - and yet I am like her in many ways. Also, I didn't see my father for over 30 years and have, within the past few years, renewed...

    Need advice from the cat folks (again)...

    In my experience, you should have no problem relocating the box(es). Just show the kitten(s) or cat(s) where the new box is, take their little paw and swipe it in the litter a couple of times, and everything should be just fine. However, when I put in a cat door on my basement door, it was...

    30 minute workouts

    I've had this scheduling problem lately, too. I suggest using the Cathe Compendium to choose premixes that are around 30 minutes. It's not the same as working out for an hour, but at least you're still getting regular exercise. I use it not only to help schedule shorter workouts, but also to...

    Is STS for all fitness levels?

    Not Cathe here - but - yes, I think you can take on the challenge of STS. But, I suggest that you do all the One Rep Max testing first. You may find that you will need to invest in some dumbells, plate mates, or something that will let you increase weight incrementally. The One Rep Max...

    Calendar Sticker download link?

    Brickhouse - Thank you! I cannot seem to access any of the 'old' Cathe pages any longer without a link like the one you gave me. How do you access these old pages? I'll probably be saving these so I don't lose them again, but would love to know how to access the old stuff. Thanks again!

    Calendar Sticker download link?

    Cathe/SNM - can you point us in the direction of the link for the stickers for the calendars? I have found links, but they do not seem to work anymore. Thank you,

    OT: Oil vs Electric Heat

    I would suggest that you find out who the oil provider is in the unit now and contact them to find out what the cost per year is - I believe that they should be able to give you this information. I live in NYS and I know that utility providers must provide this information. I work in public...

    Help: smoky treadmill

    Yep - I agree with Alana - the only change I would make is to use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. Even a small dish of apple cider vinegar in the room will help eliminate odors of all kinds.
