    Took my first ever spin class today!

    I have been spinning for about 4 months now (boy am I dizzy, ba da bamp), and I am up to three classes a week now. I have just fallen completely in love. I love the music, the focus, the sweat, the dim lights, the lack of impact, the whooping etc. I have even been thinking of getting...

    Hey guys

    Carola I have been thinking about you and hoping you would check in, although I thought it would be a little early to hear from you yet, but wow, here you are! I am glad you have your pups around you, there is almost nothing better or more soothing than doggy love :) You have such an...

    No to circuit training?

    I absolutely love circuits. When I think of circuits, I think of workouts like Cardio & Weights, where you are switching back and forth between cardio and, well, weights. I think they are a lot of fun and the workouts just fly by. Circuits are really more for endurance (I think), than for...

    Spinning Class in the A.M. - Advice??

    Another vote for giving it another try. I am relatively new to spinning, but I am finding it to be a new passion. The instructor makes a huge difference! I usually go on Saturdays and I just love the instructor, the segments and the music. I went last night and it was just a so-so class, but...

    "Pink dumbells are for barbie"

    Jonanah: Just wanted to say ITA. I also want to add that if you train consistently with 8lbers you most definitely WILL be able to carry a gallon of milk. My 8lbers are purple by the way and they are my favorite. I can and do lift heavy, but for some of Cathe's routines with high reps, I...

    Dog lipoma question (long)

    I completely agree with the above poster. I have a lot of experience with lipomas in dogs; ones I have had removed, and also ones I have chosen to leave. Basically they are not harmful. It is mostly a cosmetic thing, really. My Springer, Jeremiah, is 13 and has several of these, including...

    Cathe notebook

    I think this is a terrific idea. I would like to see something that has specific pages for each Cathe workout. This way I could track the weights used for specific body exercises within each workout.

    I have a date with Coach Sean!

    Leanne, I wish I had had a little more head's up, I would have volunteered myself to go with you! I have known Coach was in San Diego since he moved out here. I am just a huge chicken! LOL. I hope you have a blast!!!

    I have a date with Coach Sean!

    Congrats Leanne, I have been way too shy to do this, even though I have been encouraged by some (yeah, you, Michele). I will anxiously await hearing all about it. I have been supremely curious about where he teaches, but I have been too shy to ask about that too! Well, maybe one day I will...

    CCPP today......calling all Barracudas!

    CCPP - completed! I decided to participate at the last minute as my sister caved on spin class. I didn't know we were doing a CC #8 add on. I feel like I missed out a little. :( Just gotta say, I love CC and Coach Sean and I feel blessed to be included as a "Cathe Girl."

    Loving Our Bodies

    I also think we need to get away from what our bodies look like, to what they can DO! I think that is far more important.

    What do you do with your old DVDs and tapes that you ca...

    VideoFitness has a thread where folks post their vids for an SASE (self addressed stamped envelope.) The vids seem to go very fast and find new good vidiot homes.

    Least Favorite Cathe Workout?

    It's so interesting that folks' tastes are so different! I just love SJP, Body Max, and Body Max II :) I traded Drill Max right away. Hated it!!!! I also LOATHE the music in Rhythmic Step and I just cannot do that one at all anymore, even though I like the step. I can't take that one song...

    If you belong to a gym, is it closed today?

    My gym was not only open, but it was pretty busy. We belong to a 24 Hour Fitness. I was surprised. DH and I went around 6:30ish in the evening. We used to belong to a much smaller local gym that always had very odd, very short hours on holidays. I always found that extremely annoying...

    Motion sickness anyone?

    Do the relief bands work with dizziness or just nausea? I have struggled with motion sickness and vertigo for my entire life. I get motion sick sitting at the computer (depending on what is on the screen)! Video games bother me, a sudden movement in a chair, etc. I had a really bad bout with...
