Thanks Cleda I appreciate your energy and I'm glad for your success. I, too, am an advanced exerciser, and I've tended to be somewhat addicted to cardio for years. I could go forever. That's what is kind of scaring me about the Firm because today on the rotation, I was supposed to do Volume...

Hi Cleda, I've been reading your check-ins with great interest because I am starting a Firm rotation. For anyone has seen my other posts at VF and Firmbelievers, please ignore my many posts on this topic. I'm wondering if you're following the 90 day rotation calendar and how you're deciding...

Great idea Hey Nancy, I would love to see that kind of stuff, too. You're always full of great ideas. I'm so excited about Cathe's new videos, and this would make them entertaining as well as tough! Emily

Where is info icon? I know I must be blind, but I don't know what info icon you're talking about. Thanks, Emily

I cannot figure this out, so someone please help my poor brain. Emily

The one I like I don't have many CIA videos, but I do like 9801 with Christi Taylor. It really gets me sweating, and the choreography is complex, so it keeps me thinking. I also just got 2K01(I think) called Step and Strike with Gay Gasper. It's not as complex as 9801, but the music is...

How funny I have never noticed it before, but I was doing Power Max this morning and for the first time wondered what that thing around her wrist was. Now I know Emily

Hi Cathe and everyone else, I hope I can explain this so it makes sense. I just bought Reebok DMX aerobic shoes, and for the past couple of days, the left shoe has been bothering my ankle. The shoe digs into my ankle on the inside, and it makes it so I can't even keep the shoes on. Well, I...

I just want to try to see if I can make the smiley faces too Did it work? Emily

Firm workouts Hi Amy, I just tried to get Standing Legs off of the VF Exchange, so we'll see if I get it. I'm going to start trying some of the Firm tapes thanks to your advice. Happy exercising :) Emily

Hi Amy I wish I still lived in Columbia because I might try going to the Firm. I haven't lived there for any time except summers since I graduated from high school. I'm now married and live in Buffalo, New York, so maybe I should try some of the Firm tapes. I do like weights, I just always...

Firm workouts I'm from Columbia, SC, where I think the Firm originated. One of the gyms in town is called The Firm, and all my friends in high school went there. Heidi Tanner went to my high school a couple of grades ahead of me. I went to the other gym in town because I liked to do other...

Me too I wouldn't go back to my gym except I pay monthly and I'm in a year contract. I wish other instructors were at least creative or had the energy to teach great, challenging classes. At most of the gyms I've been to (except for 2) the instructors seem to gear things to more beginner...

Hi Myra I think Andrea is the one who lives in Nevada. I live in Buffalo, New York. Good luck teaching fitness classes. I would love to do that, but I don't know if I could. Have fun being a mommy, too :) Emily

Hi Myra I don't have an answer to your question, just thought I'd let you know that I read your info, and I'm a member of the church, too. I live in Buffalo, NY, but I just graduated from BYU. Anyway, that was off the subject, just thought I'd say hello. Emily

Thanks Cathe This problem has been going on for years, no matter what I do. I've been doing step forever, and I buy the best shoes I can find for step, and I even have orthotics. I think because I have nearly flat feet, I will just always have to deal with this pain. The only thing that...

in my legs near my ankles, but I'm not sure if it's shin splints or not. It's on the lower inside of my legs kind of right above my ankles. It's not directly on my shins but to the inside of them. It hurts basically all the time, whether I'm doing step, walking, or anything else (except...

What I like As you can tell, I have no life because I have spent the last hour reading through old posts. It just fascinates me to read all this stuff. I used to eat the Balance Bars all the time, too, but I tried the Zone bars (from The Zone diet), and they are better than all the other...

Hi Laura Thanks for saying that about not needing to eat the meat. I didn't mean to forget the vegetarians out there. I tried to be vegan for a while, but I ended up not doing it very well and getting sick because I didn't have enough protein or iron. I know lots of people who can get...

Hi Lynne I'm not Cathe, but I can tell you a couple of things that have helped me get my body fat down from 24% to 17%. First of all, you have to do the cardio (like you're doing). Keep doing the strength tapes, too, just give it some more time. It takes a while for some people. And I think...
