Happy St. Nicholas day! Does anyone else fill their kids shoes with candy and new socks? Busy weekend- my 8yo has her first reconciliation (aka confession) tomorrow so we'll be at church most of the day. Candra- you wondered how I could fit in workouts, work, 4 kids. LEt me tell you-- i...

Baby Mimi (full name undecided) was born yesterday at about noon- 9 pounds, 11 oz and 22 inches long. I went to the ob for a NST and the heart rate was very flat (as compared to Thursday which was a very lively and reactive heart rate). I had a coke and went to L+D for a another NSt, which was...

I thought I had a mosquito bite a couple of days ago on my back. I didn't think much of it. Today I 'felt' something on my back. I thought it was dried food from my kids, so I yanked it off. It was a tick. It's probably been on my back since SUnday (I dropped my daughter off at camp and...

I am thinking of buying this. I've done All Body Attack and All Body Cardio. How does Ath Step Jam compare? Obviously it's more step without circuits. I think ABA and ABC are great DVD's and pretty challenging. I'm looking for some new step that's more steady state (I am 28 weeks pregnant)...

Here's what I have: Cardio Pump hi/lo, Cardio pump step, and ASC2. I've done ASC1 on Netflix; don't feel the need to own it. I was thinking hi/lo Extreme. I'm looking for something that has circuits or a circuit premix. I usually hate hi/lo but I really like her cardio pump hi/lo. Any...

I am going to work out in an hour- doing the BM2 blasts/leg work with abs and bonus from B+G. Want a warm up that's 10 minutes at least that will keep me from getting bored. Which one of the above is most interesting? I cannot remember.

Here are my thoughts on some DVD's rented from Netflix. I've gone on to purchase some, others I rent when needed: CIA 2303, Keli Roberts Step it Strong- circuit w/o, easy cardio, but excellent weight work, especially the chest/core work at the end. CIA 2505- K. Spreen, Kick Box Boot Camp-...

I've been swimming 1+ miles for cross training for most of my life. I usually swim in the summer and in the winter (like now) when my kids are taking lessons at the Y. Does any other experienced swimmer ever feel swimming is too easy? The only way I can ever get myself out of breath is to...

I know some of you here know a little about gymnastics. Here is my question: I want to buy a "low" (on the ground) balance beam for the kids for Christmas. They are 6, 4 and 1. We'd keep it in our carpeted rec room in the basement. There is a very good chance that the 6 and 4 year old would...

Hello. I shaked the remainder of the world's nastiest stomach flu this weekend. I tried to work out most of the week, but was extremely weak and tired easily. I think I've dropped at least a dress size from being sick. Monday- Crunch Burn and Firm Pilated (bor-ing) Tues- gym for 45...

First, will I like this? I am looking for something new (to me anyway), and I think I can handle the choreography. I have just about every Cathe step-only workout except this one (and IMAX 3). Next question, which one, the DVD or VHS? I have IMAX 1 on VHS already, so I guess I wonder if...

Hello. I wanted to post regarding the delivery of the baby. "She" was indeed a "he" despite a 20 week ultrasound where the tech was pretty sure it was another girl. I never really went into labor and barged my way into labor/delivery hoping someone would kickstart me into labor before the...

We went for an ultrasound to check on size. U/S tech guesstimated a 10 pound baby. My first DD was estimated to be about 10pounds, 5 ounces but only was 9 pounds, so I know the ultrasounds can be about a pound off. My ob appt was this morning. I am at 2-3 cm and slightly effaced. She...

I am going to pre-order the low impact step/sculpt DVD. And, I cannot pass up free shipping. Help me pick: Boot Camp/Muscle Endurance: pros- looks like good premixes, I like circuit workouts, I like high repetitions. cons- not a lot of cardio. HSTA: Pros- cheap, circuit training...

I think it's good to remind ourselves that physical activity comes not only from exercise, but also from everyday actitivies. What do you do that 'counts' as exercise? I'll go first: I walk from my parking garage to my building, i garden like a crazy woman, I have multiple sets of really tall...

Julie- As for running, I usually run once or twice a week about 3-4 miles a time. When pregnant, I keep that up as long as I can. It's usually this St. Louis heat that makes me quit running before the actual pregnancy. I am a really SLOW and heavy footed runner too. But, regardless, it feels...

I did cardio and weights on fit tv today- no sooner than I had finished the warmup did i decide i had to buy it. And, wondered how i lived so long without it. I like the fact IMAX2 comes with- it sounds like that's popular. So, I may as well buy another. What else should I buy? I was...

I just discovered that not only do we have FitTv, but also that Cathe's workouts are featured. I have never 'worked out' with FitTv. Are there commercials during the workouts? Can I expect the entire Cardio and Weights, or is it edited? Thanks. I have most of the 'old' Cathe tapes and a few...
