    Workout Blender Success!

    Looking for a reliable scale-bells and whistles not necessary!

    Hello! My current scale is driving me crazy! I can step on it 6 different times in a row and it will give me 6 different numbers:eek::confused: So, in order to keep my sanity, I am in search of a new scale that is accurate. Does anyone have a recommendation? I don't need any extra features, just...

    Starting us off for the week. :) I am fired up!! Woo! :eek: I'm ready to make our check-in title my reality! :D Jacque: I'm sorry your son's team lost. I think it would be really hard for teams to go from real to fake grass. What a disadvantage. It's not like the NFL were they have...

    Food Scale Recommendation...

    I'm in the market for a good food scale--digital or old school. I'm looking for accurate, easy to use, and can accomodate up to at least 5lbs. Besides weighing food/meal portions, I'd use it for baking and cooking. TIA!! :D

    Need to vent a little...long(sorry)

    So back on February 23rd I took a little tumble off my step bench (flew into the sliding glass window then landed on the floor!). I brushed myself off and finished Imax 2 -watch out for that 3rd blast, it's a doozie. ;) Two weeks after the "incident", the first symptoms started. My right foot...

    Spinal Stenosis...anyone else?

    So, I've been experiencing numbness and tingling in my right foot (when standing still), and some pain in the right side of my hinder. I had an MRI a couple weeks ago. Initially the results came back and I was told it was a bulging disc on my L4-L5. The doctor recommended I go to a neurosurgeon...

    So, I have a bulging disc...

    I just found out today, after having an MRI last week. I was so shocked that I forgot to ask which disc, so I really don't know much. A neurologist will be calling me in the next couple of days to set up an appointment. I haven't had much pain. It's all on my right side, starting at my...

    I saw the Pilates Power Gym on the shopping channel this morning. Do any of you own this and what do you think of it? I'm very close to ordering it but wanted some opinions (from my fellow Catheletes) first :) TIA!! Lisa

    Question about airfare for 2009 Road Trip

    I found a ticket from Minneapolis to Philadelphia (PHL) for $313. Arriving PHL Thursday at 11am and leaving PHL Sunday at 2pm. I'm pretty sure I should buy it right now, but I don't want to "jump the gun" on anything. These are good times, right? I don't think the price will go down...

    Terminator DVD

    I am trying to use my 20% off coupon from the calendar pre-order. I have most of Cathe's DVD's-older and newer. I was looking at the Terminator DVD. Anyone have this? What do you think of it? Recently I acquired Hardcore Extreme and am loving it. Is Terminator anything like that? TIA! Lisa

    Help me decide!

    Can't decide between: Classics Vol. 1 (Step Jam, Step Heat, Step Max) or Cardio Hits (PowerMax, StepFit, Step Works). Which one should I get? I love step and don't mind challenging choreography. I am looking for something fun and will get my heartrate up - way up! :) TIA! Lisa

    Why did I wait so long? CTX!!

    What a GREAT series!! I just love it!! It is so versatile and so much fun!! I haven't done it "as is" yet. I've been doing a one-body-part-per-day type rotation and have been using the upper body weights sections of CTX to accompany a couple other upper body workouts from other Cathe DVDs...

    Should I or Shouldn't I? Supersets...

    I'm wondering if Supersets/Push Pull is something I need to add to my rotations. I have MM, ME, PUB/PLB, PH, 4D's, and many other cardio & circuit DVD's. I like the idea of doing my weights on the ball as that is how I usually do PUB and I LOVE the double upper body premix on BM2. Will...
