    Knee Problems :(

    Hi Clothesminded, My best advice: don't wait! I injured my knee in February and waited til June to take it to the Dr. Next week I'm going back because it's still sooo painful. All this time my workouts have been almost non-existant and I am so frustrated! I definately feel your pain. x(...

    Does anybody drive a Yaris?

    We bought a Yaris in January, my husband drives it to work (an hour commute to Columbus every day). In the winter it gets about 39 MPG. In the summer it’s about 43-45 MPG. It's little, not nearly as handy as our Trailblazer, but we bought it to save gas $ and it does help with that. We've...

    JEALOUSY

    Someone else basically said the same thing, but I don't think you're feeling jealousy as much as you're feeling frustrated at yourself. I've been there. We've probably ALL been there, and can relate to how you're feeling. Your feelings are sooooo normal, particularly because you're used to...

    In Which A-Jock Learns To Drive

    A-jock- What a newfound sense of freedom you will have! I admire your courage to get beyond your fear. Gabrielle, I just bought a Toyota Yaris too! It's soo little after having driven an SUV for the last few years, but it's so much more fuel efficient, AND small enough for even ME to...

    My road trip from 2 years ago!! (Long)

    I'm so disappointed to hear that Billy Blanks is like that! He comes off as so Christian in some of the TaeBo workouts I own. I guess people are not always as they appear. Bummer. :-(

    Need help working out with a bad knee

    Thanks girls for the suggestions! I appreciate it so much. I only recently went to the doctor because I thought the knee would heal itself with rest, unfortunately I need to walk so it hasn't received much rest. I have x-rays scheduled for next week and will see what I'm dealing with first...

    Need help working out with a bad knee

    I know some of you have mentioned knee problems in the past but I didn't pay close enough attention because I'd never been injured. I hurt my right knee in February doing Imax2. (I LOVE that one and must've thought I was a Rockette and overdid it, I dunno.) I've been trying to heal and am now...

    For Cathe- Concerned w/Muscle LOSS & Longer Cardio DVDs

    Good question! As I push closer to age 50 I've noticed that I still have the endurance for the longer workouts, but I'm suffering more injuries (knee, ankle, ...)and wonder if keeping the cardio shorter wouldn't be better for me than sitting out because of pain. x(

    I'm so proud of my husband.

    Wow, Janie. It goes to show people CAN change their ways so there's hope for us all! I'm so glad he's utilizing all the good help that's available to him out there. God bless you and your husband! :)

    anyone from ohio?

    Hi Laura- I'm in Mansfield. A few of us did have a mini-Cathe-get-together a few years and we're overdue for another! Lorrie, I was so tempted to join in your walk but am trying hard to recover from a knee injury so trying to ease back into my workouts. I usually do a "Walk for Life" every...

    What Do You Do On Days Like Today...

    Ohio is dark and rainy today too and I sooo wanted to sleep in this morning! I still plan to go home from work and get a spinning workout in - but that could change if, say, my hubby offers to take me out to dinner or something! ;) I think the sun is supposed to shine here tomorrow. Hope...

    My review of this self-tanner.

    Just an FYI: Another thing that I find eliminates blotchy areas is to use a body scrub or sluffing product - particularly on the ankles, knees and feet - then I shave my legs. After that I apply the tanner when my legs are completely dry. When I do this my knees and ankles never get darker...

    Best exercise for saddle bags

    I enjoy kickboxing more than step and other cardio so I tend to do a kickbox workout at least twice a week. Those side kicks are really affective for me and I notice that if I slack off my workouts for a month here and there, my saddlebags are the first things that start to return. They are my...

    Has anyone see TLC's Jon and Kate plus 8?

    I love finding this show when I'm surfing through channels - have no idea when it's on though. The part that amazes me is at the start of each show when they show Kate pregnant with the 6 babies. The way she flipped that belly towards the camera - WOW! :o

    Winter Storm '08!

    Hey Debbie, I feel your pain. Mansfield got 19 inches and it was actually snowing again today. I could cry! Looks like you at least have a snowblower by the looks of your driveway. I have to do it the old-fashioned way - shovel and muscle! Stay warm!:-)

    STS male outfits disappointed!

    This thread just keeps getting better the further down I read! :7 I have never purchased a workout because of what the cast was wearing so this isn't significant to me. Show me a good workout and I'm happy.

    How many have waited til the last minute to order STS?

    RE: How many have waited til the last minute to order S... I broke down and ordered it. I couldn't resist the savings and feel like I'll eventually want it. I injured my knee recently and am on a "hiatus" but I'm hoping by the time I get STS I'll be ready for it!!!:P

    Best exercise for saddle bags

    I second what Winter said! Kickboxing is what helped me get rid of that bulge. I initially started doing kickboxing with my Tae Bo tapes and that's when I noticed the difference in my legs and butt. I have since moved on to Cathe's workouts and my saddlebags have never returned. :7
