    Step and strength circuit premixes

    Hello all! I really love a circuit style workout, and was looking for a list of premixes that utilize this. I have many of Cathe's dvds and wondered if such a list existed (just trying to save time manually searching them one by one) Thanks!

    So sad my dog won't stop biting!

    I'm so glad this worked for you, Janie! We have an 8 yr. old Golden Retriever, and she was an aggressive puppy! We did the same training that Jonezie suggested and it worked for us too. It instantly changed her focus and she did indeed start licking instead. We praised her then and she'd run...

    IMAX 1 with 2 risers!!!

    My knees have other plans... Congrats to all of you who are able to increase the height of your steps for a tougher workout. I used to do that also, especially when I belonged to a gym (many moons ago). Now that I have older joints, if I raise it to more than 1 riser, my knees suffer...

    Coffeemaker question

    Thanks, everyone for all these great suggestions. After reading what Consumer Reports had to say, I opted for the Hamilton Beach Brew Station! It will be interesting to try a non carafe coffeemaker for a change. I used a gift card, so if it really isn't my cup of tea (or coffee), no great...

    Coffeemaker question

    Morning all! I'm off to shop for a new coffeemaker to replace my leaking Black & Decker spacemaker. I'm kind of leaning toward a Hamilton Beach 10 cup Stay or Go with thermal carafe and 2 travel mugs. My only hesitation is that we are used to a 12 cup capacity (although I know it's only...

    ElbowTendonitis from kettlebells?

    I don't do kettlebells, but whenever I lift, I wear an armband, specifically for tennis elbow. I had a bad bout last year, and this has helped, along with stretching frequently and watching my form. Doreen

    A squirrel ate my computer cables!

    Chipmunk in my dryer! 3 weeks ago I started my gas dryer and after about 3 minutes heard some scratching, like something noisy was in the dryer, maybe sneakers, which there wasn't. I started it again and determined it was something trying to run up the vent! I thought it was a mouse that had...

    Flossing Your Teeth: I wanna know

    Oral Hygiene 101 (Forgive my soapbox lecture!) Keep flossing, everybody! I've spent 28 years as a dental hygienist and in our office we educate our patients about the two main causes of periodontal disease: smoking and diabetes. Some men that have served in Viet Nam are also afflicted...

    X-train shoes vs. walking shoes for vaca.

    I'll be on vaca. in July and will have an opportunity to both walk on deck (a cruise) and at ports. I'll also definitely take 2 or more step classes, and maybe a pilates or yoga class. I'm still up in the air on the spinning class (don't really want a sore bum on vacation!) I want to keep...

    Maximum weight loss rotation revised

    Yep! That's the one. I actually did that one for 12 weeks before tennis elbow reared its ugly head last April! I had slightly altered the original to exclude the running, as I am not a runner. I just added steady state cardio when a steady state run was stated. I used an Imax when a...

    Maximum weight loss rotation revised

    I've never posted an original rotation, and even though this is based on Cathe's 16 Week Max Weight Loss Rotation, I've added some of her new workouts. The original rotation really dropped the fat for me, I think because my body responds better to more cardio. It's a lot of step, it...

    April 08'

    Mega Step Blast is a separate workout-it is an oldie, but it's not on Cardio Hits nor is it on another oldie compilation-Classics Vol 1. I got it on VHS either on e-bay or from Cathe during their liquidation of VHS w/o's. Here's the description of it so you can sub w/ a similar w/o...

    Laundry

    I was told by a clothing saleswoman once that to keep the red from bleeding onto the white part of a knit scrub top I was buying, that soaking it in cold water and lots of salt would set the red. It did work, but I don't remember how much salt and also not sure if it would work on black...

    Spinning class

    This summer, I'll have an opportunity to take a spin class on a cruise, and since I'm not a member of any gym, I've never done this. Can anyone tell me what it is--I think I have an idea, but can anyone clarify the basics? Thanks Doreen

    Not really an NY Giant fan, but...

    The best part about that final TD is that it gave me the win in our football pool at our party-- the best $125.00 I ever won!!! That was the frosting on the Patriot's cake of defeat!! :9 :9 Doreen
