    Quad work with resistance bands: suggestions?

    Hi! I need to work on my quads to help stabilize my knees a bit more and am wondering if anyone has suggestions for exercises with resistance bands. I'm trying to stay away from squats right now, so anything seated would be great. Thanks for your input! Liz

    Would this bug you???

    I'd be irritated, too. One time a parent was having an end of year pool party and charged each kid $10 (to pay for pizza and stuff). Well, about 30 kids gave the money, but the party was cancelled due to rain. None of us ever saw a dime. Nice, huh? Next time you see her, I'd simply say...

    Heart Rate Monitors?

    Hi! I think I must be doing something wrong with posting, so I'll try again! I am considering the Polar FT60 - does anyone have any experience with it? Is there a better one? I like to run and want something that accommdates STS. Thanks! Liz

    HRMs - best one for me?

    Hi all! I'm looking for a heart rate monitor and am thinking of the Polar FT60. It looks pretty comprehensive yet still easy to use. I like to run and lift weights. I think this one will be compatible with STS. What do you think? I've consistently found the advice here to be excellent...

    To call or not to call? Warning - LONG POST

    My story in a nutshell: my guy broke up with me in a rather heartless fashion. It was cruel and hurt my self-esteem immensely. Fast forward 3 years - I've moved on, but we run into each other and he asks me out to lunch sometime. I go, he apologizes for how poorly he handled the situation and...

    For Beginners

    If I recall correctly, Cathe herself said that STS is great for all levels of fitness since it's completely individualized. (See a question regarding "Light Weight" posted a few days ago. The exerciser simply starts with what is right for them. I personally find most, if not all, of Cathe's...

    DF just doesn't get it?!

    Awww - sorry you're going through this, especially so close to the New Year. But take advantage of that - you've gotten great advice here - essentially you need to communicate! As for the trip, I know it sounds like fun, but I'd take a pass. I think his dad is being unfair. What a lout...

    Can you lose fat while trying to gain muscle?

    What I really love about Tom Venuto is his emphasis on the mental aspect of weight loss. Really figuring out your obstacles, setting goals and changing your way of thinking. Very interesting stuff.

    Cathe, do you do the "real stuff" or the artificial?

    Thanks, lina9496! I work for FDA and I can't tell you how many people believe because something is approved that it's safe. This just isn't the case - everything has risks. And there are some situations that are completely unforeseeable 'til the product is used more widely than clinical...

    cyber-bullying: is it a way of life?

    I just needed to get this out... Young women are more and more publicly bullying one another on the Internet - like it's just a thing they do!! This morning I saw some of the things that are being written about my daughter on Facebook and it just breaks my heart. She's a sweet girl - she's...

    STS sneakers

    I thought the same thing!!! They are ADORABLE!! Kind of remind me of the shoes we'd wear back in the day... but Cathe looks cute in anything. I think you could put her in a paper bag and that bag would look terrific!
