Shoes too small? It sounds like your shoes are just too narrow or short. I have wide feet to begin with, and my left foot is slightly larger than my right, so I always try on the left shoe when buying shoes. They also say that your feet are larger/wider in the evenings than mornings, so if...

confused Why do we need to regulate insulin? I feel so confused by all of the mixed up info out there! I consider myself very informed about nutrition, met with a nutritionist once and ffelt like I knew as much as she did. I don't know much about insulin however, except that I LOVE my...

Can't wait! Sounds fun and TOUGH! I think the word "intervals" strikes fear in my heart! I can't wait! Have we heard any update on the approximate release dates? Is it late July/early Aug.? Thanks so much Cathe for the tidbit!!

Cathe! I think we have been very patient waiting for the next tidbit of info about how the new video production is coming! PLEASE give us just a little bit of something - anything! I can't take it anymore - I'm reduced to begging. Seriously, is there anything that you can tell us about...

Hi Myra! What is double step? Is that using 2 steps? What types of things do you do? Sounds fun!

Try something else I too hurt my back a few weeks ago (picked up that barbell without bending my knees enough!) and I had to take it easy for a few days. I was barely able to walk the next day, but then I found that I could speed walk around the neighborhood for a couple of days until my back...

Varicose veins I'm glad you joined in Brigid! I never asked my doctor specifically about stepping/jogging, but i did mention that I exercise daily and jog and he said that exercise is actually good for the veins because of the hard pumping of the heart and it keeps the blood flowing through...

depends . . . on how these two new procedures go. Based just upon my last one, I would say NO! But this new doctor is telling me that it will be MUCH easier, so ask me again after July 19! Hopefully it will go smoothly and I can answer you yes!

don't mind at all! When they stripped the veins in my left leg (last Feb.) I was completely knocked out in a hospital. They did an ultrasound and mapped the veins on my legs with a marker on my skin. They made several incisions on the inside of my leg and actually pulled the veins out with...

Makes me nervous!! Your post made me a bit apprehensive, it sounds like you are pushing too hard. Do you live in a hot climate? Is there any way you can blow a fan on yourself, or splash some cold water on your face/arms/etc.? The chills and nausea make it sound as if you are experiencing...

Can't skip warm-up! I go from sleeping to exercising (at 4:45 a.m.) so I HAVE to have a good warm-up. I was just concerned about not cooling down long enough and stretching. I read somewhere about when you stop abruptly, the blood in the legs tends to pool there and not pump back up to the...

here is probably a dumb question, but I'll risk embarrassment & ask anyway! I always feel very strapped for time when I exercise. On days that I go over 50 minutes, I am usually exceeding the speed limit on my way to work!! In order to cram in as much hard exercise time as I can, I skimp on...

tired? I have found that I am wiped out after heavy lifting - I'm not sure that I could even do cardio after doing MIS legs or other heavy leg work. My arms feel like jello too. I am guessing that must be good in helping with endurance for cardio? What if I want to burn the maximum...

idea Maybe your body is too used to doing these same activities. If you have some other workout tapes, you might also want to switch around with those. I would think that in order to eliminate those extra calories needed to lose weight, you will either have to exercise a bit longer or reduce...

some questions <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON May-25-00 AT 01:53PM (EST)</font></center> LAST EDITED ON May-25-00 AT 01:51 PM (EST) I agree that some additional cross-training is always good. I find it hard to incorporate alot of different activities. Now, the...

Sounds interesting! How are you using Cathe's tapes for this? Sounds like something I might like to try! Please share!

Hi Debbie! <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON May-21-00 AT 09:01AM (EST)</font></center> Hi Leslie & everyone!! I live in Celina, which is not really close to anything! We're kind of between Lima and Ft. Wayne, Ind. Small world! I've never been to the Outer Banks...

I'll try to help! Maybe you should try to take a whole week off from all exercise (except leisure type stuff). I haven't personally done this (but I plan to during my trip to the Outer Banks in June)but others on this forum say that it can play an important mental role. You completely take...

Great minds! You know what they say about great minds!!

Hi Cathe and everyone! I am unable to do tricep dips and I modify with Pat on PS CST. My question is: Since my goal is muscle definition, when I am modifying with Pat with the dumbbell over my head should I use a lighter weight and do the reps quickly keeping up with the tempo of you and the...
