    OT Lemony Snicket question

    Saw this movie yesterday with hubby and son and enjoyed it a lot. Wondering if anyone knows what kind of car the banker was driving. There were so many great visual effects and details. Usually hubby can identify any vehicle, but this one stumped him. Thanks in advance if anyone knows! --Ann

    OT question about computers....

    The kid's gone off to college and is no longer here to fix our computer problems. The likelihood of me really learning how to deal with my PC is about as good as the likelihood of me learning to fix my car. There are some reasons for getting away from Microsoft. My question is would it be...

    Has anyone tried this split?

    This is a split I just dicovered that I like and I wonder if anyone else has tried it and has any comments. Day one: PS CST and Biceps. (I slow down the chest work so I can heavy up, and also put in longer rests--it takes a little over an hour.) Day two: P90X Legs and Back, plus Ab Ripper X...

    How to please everyone....

    This is intended to be humorous and nothing more. I'm quite sure it wouldn't be feasible, but since folks feel so strongly one way or the other about music here is what I was fantasizing.... Imagine that Cathe had at her disposal quality remakes or original cuts from all types of music genres...

    What a Blast!

    Cathe, After being unable to do impact cardio for months due to stubborn plantar fasciitis, I finally reached the date upon which the podiatrist said I could up the ante. I reached for Step Blast, as I'd only limped through it when it first came out and got very discouraged. I'm sitting...

    O/T Summer blues?

    This is a topic I'm hoping others who live on the school schedule can relate to. I work in a high school in a district that is losing students (and in Arniefornia, that means revenue)for a variety of reasons. Each of the four years I've worked there many jobs have been cut. In my case, I...

    BS on Bosu

    Just tried Basic Step for the first time yesterday on the Bosu. Since I'm still a week away from being allowed to do high impact due to my Plantar Fasciitis episode, I found it a great little blast. Added on a couple brisk dog walks and had a good cardio day. Anyone else tried this? -Ann

    Bowflex recall

    Has anyone already received their replacement parts? Is it going to be a nightmare taking apart and reassembling? Just wondering if anyone knows yet. Hey, everyone's getting in on this recall fad! TIA --Ann

    Orthotics Rock!

    My orthotics for my PF came in two weeks early! Yesterday I was limping around at work wondering how I was going to make it through two more weeks till they were supposed to come in, but the doc's office called and told me they were early. I picked them up last night and today I've already been...

    Another heel story....

    Got a Plantar Fasciitis disgnosis yesterday from a podiatrist. Have been nursing what I thought was a stone bruise more or less since September through varying types of denial, and of course if I had a relatively pain free day I'd do something like IMAX. I'm to start with two weeks of as...

    Simply Endurance

    This is Gin Miller's new moderate weight, total body , 50 minute workout. I tried it last night and enjoyed it. She jumps around in a Supersets kind of way, hitting every muscle group at least twice. Some of the sets are slow reps, some are fast, there are some compound sets (lunges and biceps...

    Inguinal Hernia?

    DH may have one. We are having a hard time getting a diagnosis because we live in the boonies and it's hard to get an appointment. The ultrasound was negative, but the tech said they come and go and don't always show up on demand, like the funny noise your car will never make when you take it to...

    Heel spurs, anyone?

    After a few months of thinking I just had a bad bruise on my heel from hiking on rocky surfaces, I now think it's a bone spur. It's definitely not Plantar Fasciitis because the symptoms just don't match. I'm going to try a heel insert with a hole under the painful area, but if anyone has any...

    The Zen of waiting....

    I finally decided to take the DVD plunge with the BB series. Converted my preorder a couple months back, and bought a DVD/VCR combo player since my VCR's on its last legs. Got myself a couple sale CIA DVD's to tide me over, and settled in for the wait that I knew was going to be so worth it...

    Sports Lifting

    Question for y'all: I've heard the term "sports lifting" bandied about in different contexts. Sometimes it sounds as though it means any type of weight training that targets muscles used in a specific sport, and sometimes it sounds like it means explosive compound moves designed to enhance...

    Way O/T: language question....

    Okay, educated crowd. I've been puzzling over this for three plus years now, and it's time to come forward and share my wonder. The mass media as well as more serious writers and users of the English language love to group human events and history into decades. We always here about the sixties...

    Question for instructors

    ....or anyone who has an idea. I'm doing a yoga correspondence class for my ACE personal trainer recertification. I love to read the course descriptions of all the things you can do for CEC's, but can really only afford to do what I have to to recertify. Does anyone know if there's a way to...

    shoulder questions

    My DH has had an injured shoulder for about three months. He'a a warehouse manager so he hardly gets to rest it which is probably why it's gone on so long, but it's very puzzling to me what could be going on based on what he can and can't do without pain. He can do: upright rows, militaries...

    Intro to Cathe idea

    How about choosing 15-20 of the toughest moves from all the previous routines and then putting them with their entire breakdowns from their original videos onto a new DVD? In between the different moves Cathe (this part would be the only new filming required) could introduce the next move...

    Functional Circuit

    Hi, Cathe: I've been fantasizing about a functional fitness video with cycles of agility-based cardio (mixed impact), followed by compound weight work (squatting while doing biceps curl type of thing), followed by heavier push-pull work, followed by balance work for the core on the stability...
