Calcium & Magnesium <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON Aug-04-00 AT 07:53AM (EST)</font></center> I finished reading "Firm for Life" and I knew I had just read about muscle cramps in there. It says "If your body doesn't contain enough calcium, it will cannibalize the...

Thanks Cathe - it helped! It also helped knowing that I am not alone in feeling like a "clown" - I laughed so hard when I read that post! I tend to be overly critical of myself and get aggravated when my body doesn't help me out! Thanks everyone, I'll keep kicking away and maybe at least get...

I did Kathy Smith's kickboxing the other day (sort of as a "practice" for Cathe's new one) and boy oh boy am I TERRIBLE! What worries me more is that Kathy Smith's is not overly difficult and I know Cathe's will be more challenging. I have tried Taebo and don't really care for it much - I...

another thought I have also found that when i don't have a slight bend in my legs, it shows up in my back. Sometimes my mind wanders a bit and I "forget" proper form.

I followed a recommendation from this forum about reading a book called "Dr. Shapiro's Picture Perfect Weight Loss" and boy am I glad that I did! I thought that I was very informed about nutrition, and I was pretty much, but I also had some areas where I was incorrect in my thinking. This...

I got great sound but my picture was tiny and it didn't move very often. I don't think I have a very fast computer. I downloaded the IE version 7 a couple of days ago in anticipation. I know very little about computers, so I don't know for sure what it is called, but I followed the...

question about ebay selling I too have a pile of unused videos (certainly not Cathe!!) but stuff like Abs of Steel step tapes, etc. that no one wants to exchange, I don't know if they would even sell on ebay. Is it best to "bundle" them by selling as a set, or individually? Will anyone even...

Hi Cathe and everyone! I used MIS for 2 months straight (twice a week with cardio 3-4 other days) before switching over to the 2 upper body PS tapes which I then did for about 3 maybe 4 months. I feel like I need to switch things around again and would like your opinion. I would prefer to do...

That makes sense! Yes, at this point I tend to be more fitness oriented and want to make sure I'm getting my "all" out of every workout. I guess it will be fun to throw in during those weeks when the usual schedule gets thrown off. It may be a good one to use as a third weight day also. thanks!

What about "DH"? People refer to their DH (husband) but what is the "D"?

With Cathe's new circuit tape coming out and I just read about Firm's Cardio Split 1 (I don't usually do Firm, but it sounds interesting!), I am wondering how everyone fits these tapes in. I usually do cardio 3-4 days alternating days with strength 2-3 days per week. I understand that strength...

Hi Cathe and Everyone! I hope you can help me make some sense out of these body fat calculators. I tried out one at weightsnet.com and it only asked for my gender, my waist measurement, and my weight. I was sadly surprised that it said I have 25% body fat. I have nice upper & lower body...

opposite results! I had NO trouble getting off the extra weight by breastfeeding (each of my 3 kids for a year each). In fact, I was sad to give up breastfeeding because I knew I would be burning less calories. Sure enough, after I stopped nursing each of my kids I gained a couple of pounds...

Thanks for all the feedback! I have just started drinking more water thanks to someone's idea of filling up two 1-liter bottles each day. I have been drinking them plus more! i have also been eating lots of fruits & veggies which sometimes cause some bloating. Thanks to Cathe's videos ( and...

WOW! I didn't plan to post a response to this, but when I saw Pat, I just had to! Rhonda and Cathe look incredible also, but Pat looks inspirational! She looks stronger than ever! You go girls!

<center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON Jul-06-00 AT 02:39PM (EST)</font></center> Let me start by saying that I am NOT pregnant . My body is fairly proportionate,I am not overweight(Pretty close to my ideal weight) and I have the classic "pear shape" except that my pear is a bit...

alternate shoes Sometimes I alternate between pairs of shoes and it seems to cut down on my sore feet. I suppose the shoes complement each other since they are different manufacturers and possibly support my feet differently(?). I'm not sure why, but it seems to work for me! Hope you figure...

alarm I lucked out and found it at Kmart on clearance! It is a keychain with a "siren" and a flashlight together as one piece. I am hoping that it would be loud enough to scare anyone away, but I worry that I am giving myself false protection. I wish I had a "local" mall to walk in...

what I do when I go out very early in the dark is carry a small alarm thing on a keychain. When I push the "panic" button, it starts a very shrill sound until I shut it off. I figure in an emergency I can either toss it to keep the loud noise going or keep it with me and RUN! I also live in a...

Early exercising <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON Jun-18-00 AT 11:01AM (EST)</font></center> I too get up (usually at 4:40 during the school year) to exercise. I have to be at school by 7:05 and plus it's the only time that I don't have little rugrats running around and...
