    Questions as I'm de-cluttering

    >3.) Clothes that I haven't worn in ages but are still in style. The reason I haven't worn them is a long story but basically because there's been many periods that I hadn't worked or gone out socially so the clothes would sit there. It's not because I don't like them but because I just wasn't...

    Tracey Staehle KB sweatfest..anyone have it??

    Hasn't Tracey just released Kickbox Strike Zone? -- I mean just released it, as it's in the mail! You might want to hold off a few days and see how the reviews are on that one. IIRC, Kickbox Challenge was a bit short and Tracey was obviously tired. She almost had a pained expression through...

    $4.57 a gallon

    Most of my driving is in Silicon Valley (San Jose area of CA) and gas runs about $3.99 a gallon for regular. I actually live halfway between Silicon Valley and Santa Cruz, where the OP mentioned the $4.57 price. I guess I'll stick to buying my gas on this side of the hill. :P Diane

    HELP! Cat Litter is driving me insane

    I like how the sides of that Breeze box are high. That's my issue with my male cat - he doesn't sit down and pee sprays outside the box! He doesn't like the hooded boxes, as they're too caustrophobic and probably really contain the odor (I'm thinking it must smell like an outhouse in there!)...

    Good site for downloading music?

    Beware Limewire, as I got a nasty virus from my son downloading music from it. I have a huge GC balance on Amazon and have been downloading music from there. Typical .99 charge, but easy to use. Diane

    What is your most challenging Cathe abs section?

    The most challenging for me is PUB. I've never been able to get through all those pikes and one-legged thingies without taking a break. C&W has ball exchanges, maybe that's the one people are thinking of. I've never cared much for the C&W ab section - it always seemed hard on my leg flexors.

    Kudos to you runners!!

    Thanks for the encouragement Christine. >Nothing like running along with 100,000 of your best friends. That's exactly what my BF said about it! I'm looking to have fun with it. As I said, I was sore, I mean really SORE, for the next day and a half last week. I'm glad to get that part...

    Kudos to you runners!!

    Oh Nan, I know how you feel! I haven't run since high school. I'm 49 now. I got talked into entering the Bay to Breakers race in May. It's a 12K (7 miles) that traverses San Francisco. There are literally thousands of entrants and many dress in costume. So it's a race that isn't taken too...

    Cars

    Hi Keli! I'm a bit south of you - 6 miles up Hwy 17 from Los Gatos. I have to deal with mountain roads everyday, so that's why I suggested Subaru. This winter, my son got stranded at a friend's house in the snow - they couldn't drive out in their 2-whl drive cars. But I got through to...

    Cars

    Subaru's are all wheel drive. If you live in an area where the roads get slick in winter, it can be a life-saver. I love my current Subaru Outback. My last car was the Subaru Forester. I haven't had mechanical issues with either one of them (the Forester had 90,000 miles on it when it was...

    CIA 2800

    The two-step portion of Dierdre's workout is a bonus portion. It lasts 5 minutes. You don't miss much by skipping it. The term "tapless" refers to the "tap-switch" that Cathe sometimes does in her step workouts. It's a move to switch your lead leg. There are other ways to switch leads -...

    Best island vacation?

    What kind of traveller are you? Do you want a grand resort with all the amenities? Or do you want small and quaint, close walk to town to try out various restaurants and such? I'd rather have a small, family run hotel where I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn to place a towel to...

    I am SUCH a wuss -- RTTC

    Doesn't that exercise come right after the bizillion lateral raises with side squats? I think your shoulders would be fatigued from the get-go. What if you tried reversing the order of the exercises, so you're fresh for the overhead presses? Chances are they filmed this with loooong breaks...

    Is anyone ordering Tracy S. new workouts?

    I haven't clicked with Tracey. Her heart is in the right place. Seemed like until Walking Strong, she was trying to please everyone and ended up pleasing hardly anyone. Then she did Walking Strong on a whim (possibly wrong about that), did it her way, and she's much more relaxed. It works -...

    Is this inconsiderate or what?!?!

    I have had parents late picking up their kids more times than I can count. It's so rude. I can fully relate. If this is the only time you experience it, consider yourself lucky. The latest is when my 15DS had his 13 year old GF over for dinner. "Mom" was supposed to pick her up at 9 or...

    It's my birthday and want a new workout!

    I just finished Patrick Goudeau's Hard Work Conditioning and I must say, it was very fun and quite a workout! There's all sorts of variety - cardio, compound moves, balance moves. Check out the clip on Collage. Diane
