Dear Administrator: Regarding the pushup challenge. For people simply reading the instructions -- or checking the leader board -- without recording their own pushup record, these people get an automatic "0" reading. If you look at the leader board, the majority of people have "0" records. -- David

Sorry for this dumb question. I'm sure it has been asked before, but I have been away from the Cathe site for some months. I am starting STS (again) and I suuccessfully put up onto my calendar the STS program. But the progress chart doesn't show up on my Carhe page. I have clicked the "show...

Today I did Cathe's Cross Train Xpress "Kickbox" (2000), and found it a delightful and challenging VHS video:). I am thinking of buying the DVD, and want to know if it has an "extras" section that allows for 20-30 min strength-training-only sections. As of now, I have the VHS tapes, which do not...

Does anyone have Lauren Brook's Kettlebells vol.2?: http://www.ontheedgefitnessstore.com/products/product58.html Does anyone have any positive or negative comments about this video, as to its content, degree of difficulty, etc.? It seems pricey, at $40, and I can't seem to find any video...

Has anyone out there bought the Turbo Jam Workout? I accidently channel surfed onto a TJ infomercial -- at 5:00am on a Saturday morning. Much of it seemed misleading (the instantaneous lost inches, "If you call in the next four minutes...etc...). But I am interested in the weighted gloves...

Here's an article discussing the International Olympic Committee's (IOC's) reaction to the somewhat boistrous celebration by Canadian women's hockey team. After winning the gold medal against the U.S. team, the Canadian women drank beer and champagne, and smoked cigars, on ice -- after the fans...

I feel like a klutz, since I asked this question a year and a half ago. So I apologize in advance. How does one edit one's workout manager (WM)? I go into my "user's CP", then I'm lost. I can't even find my WM! Could somebody give me a step-by-step, idiot-proof lesson? -- Davidj

:) I see that Cathe's "Step N' Motion" video has been reproduced, after (sigh) all of these years. I have kept my old VHS copy (it still works perfectly!), and have used it off and on, for (?), twenty years? It is videos like these that force me to keep a VHS player hooked up. I still like...

I have an interesting experience this Saturday afternoon. After coming home from grocery shopping, I noticed a small bird sitting on my large backyard deck, near my two tube feeders. Since he didn't fly away, he was either injured or near death. He was a "chipping sparrow"...

:mad: and: :( : The British Columbia Supreme Court refuses a bid by women ski jumpers to participate in the 2010 Winter Olympics (in Vancouver). The BC Supreme Court has a very poor reputation -- according to most Canadians. The womens' bid has received lots of publicity here...

I read a good post elsewhere in a different Cathe forum page about the crucial importance of good stretching. So that post convinced me to buy at most two stretch DVDs. So which two stretch DVDs are your favourites, and most useful? I was considering buying Cathe's "Stretch Max" and "Total Body...

I need help with "Low Impact Step" -- a DVD I just bought from Cathe. I have have a good number of basic step tapes, and I know all of the steps done while facing the TV, but I certainly have trouble with more complicated patterns. I have good stamina, but I have the grace and agility of an...
