    Safe (non-toxic) air freshner

    My office at work smells terrible, old and musty - the building itself is very old with very few windows. I want to freshen it up a bit but I don't like scented candles (plus those are not safe for our work environment) I don't like the plug-ins either, too many chemicals. Is there a safe...

    Suspension Training DVDs

    I just bought the Bandit's Loop and it came with a 14 min. tutorial but I was wondering if there were any other good suspension DVDs out there. I looked at some of the TRX DVDs and I might get some of those, just wondered what you guys thought of them. Any others? TIA.

    Is the treadmill bad for you?

    Yesterday during my kettlebell class my instructor asked what workouts I did for the week and I said my normal KB and then I spent a few workouts (just walking) on the treadmill. She had a fit!!! She said you should NEVER go on a treadmill, it is horrible for you. I unfortunately didn't have a...

    Egg hatchery investigation

    This article came out today - I don't eat meat but I do (did) eat eggs, however, I didn't know this. I am shocked (don't know why, I should know better), just passing this along as an FYI. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090901/ap_on_go_ot/us_egg_hatchery_investigation DES MOINES, Iowa – An...

    Foot Detox Pads - Anybody ever try them?

    So I was discussing my latest sinus infection with my kettlebell trainer and she told me to try some foot detox pads because they fixed her infection in days. I looked on line and they look like a complete hoax but part of my wants to try them, I'm sure it is all placebo effect but can it hurt...

    Ever get locked out of your house?

    If so, what did you do? We don't keep a key outside because we don't live in the greatest neighborhood and I'm also very paranoid. I also don't really have anyone to do a key exchange with - my neighbors are ok but again I'm paranoid and the closest family member is over an hour away and they...

I have the Lauren Brooks DVD along with KB Way Vol I, they say to do KB Way twice a week, but what am I supposed to do the other days? Does anyone...

    Cathe's Push/Pull Tower vs. Lebert Equalizer

    I have been debating between the two, I can't do a pull up so I really need assistance but I don't really want to buy both. It seems like you might be able to more with the equalizer in addition to pull up assistance, but I'm not sure about what else the tower can do other than pull ups and it...

    Lordosis

    I have lordosis (sway back/protruding butt) I have had it my whole life but lately it seems to be bothering me more, at the end of a long day my back feels tight and sore. Pilates did seem to help but lately I've been doing more weight training. I will start trying to do more Pilates but I just...

    Fitness Camp?

    I was watching the Biggerst Loser last night, loved the show btw, but it made me wonder if they have a fitness camp like that for anybody. I think it would be so cool to get away from the daily grind and just submerse yourself with diet and fitness info. I do read fitness books and magazines...

    Chalean Extreme in December?

    Just wondered if any of you had any inside info, I know there was a post from a BB trainer in September but I haven't seen anything else since then. At first I thought I saw somewhere it would be released in October, then November and today I checked out Chalene's blog...

    Is P90X that great?

    I see that a lot of you use P90X and you all seem to love it. Is it that great? Am I really missing out on something? My neighbor played me one of his DVDs and I told him it looked lame and he should get a real workout DVD like one of Cathe's :) Sorry, maybe I shouldn't judge on the 2 mins...

    x-Vest vs. Cathe's vest

    I bought the x-Vest some time ago, I like it, it is adjustable, 2-20 lbs. it is pretty comfortable but it is also very hot. I'm crazy and I'm a sucker for all things Cathe and now I really want her vest. Just curious (I know it is a long shot) if anybody purchased both and if so which one do...

    Do any of you ever regret NOT having kids?

    DH and I are very very happy with our two doggies and each other. People keep asking us when we are going to have kids and neither of us have any desire to have them. Our friends that have kids seem miserable and tired... sorry parents you don't make it look at that fun. Kids are very...

    Form

    I love doing my Cathe videos - I've read a few weight training books and magazines but I'm paranoid that I'm doing something wrong all the time. I'm always concerned that my form is off. I can't really afford a personal trainer so I was wondering if others have had the same concern and if so...

    Mini-Trampoline/Urban Rebounder

    I love my Urban Rebounder but the workout videos that accompany it are not that great. I would LOVE to see Cathe put out a video for that and maybe should could even add a mini-trampoline to her product line. It also gives those of use without aerobic flooring another (and maybe cheaper)...
