Do you feel like you have moved an elephant when you get done with Pyramid Upper body? Guess what, if you use the same weight as Cathe, you moved several:o Here's the break down: Chest - 2,992 pounds Back - 2,244 pounds Shoulders - 1,416 pounds Biceps - 2,400...

Annette- I love these kinds of stories. It makes the thought of getting elderly bearable! To borrow your term, my shero lives next door to me. She is 75 years old does step on an 8" step at a club plus at home (Power Step Reebok, Kathy Smith, Gilad etc), lifts real weights, and plays tennis...

Hi Teresa: Sorry, I meant the Macon area. I know Chatsworth is in the wilderness. If we leave home really early, we should be in the Macon area by noon or one. If you know of any fun things to do or cool places to eat I would really appreciate hearing about them. I was hoping my new Cathe...

My husband and I rented a cabin in Chatsworth, Georgia for Christmas week. I live in central Florida so I am figuring it to be about an 11 hour drive. We are going to split the drive into 2 days and I think that Macon is about 1/2 way. Is any one familiar with this area? If so can you make some...

To fit@home The cookbooks I reach for most often are from Cooking Light. Also, the Cooking Light magazine is my favorite. But you know, you don't always have to create some elaborate, labor-intensive meal to eat low-fat. Little changes to your every day diet are the easiest to do. For...

Dear CinDee My husband was in the same situation as yours. His dad died at 60 from a heart attack and an fraternal uncle died at 45 while shoveling snow. At the age of 32, my husband's total cholesterol levels were in the high 270's while his HDL was in the very low 20's. In an effort to combat...

Hi powergirl - Are you my long-lost twin? I too live in sunny Florida, have been married for almost 23 years, I am 44 years old, no kids and have been working out since Jane Fonda's first tape way back when. Where in Florida do you live? I am on the west coast, Sarasota area. Originally I am...

Hi Anna, Great question. The basket sort of sits in the corner out of the way so the answer is no. However I tried once to "scoot" it over so that I could get my weight lifting glove (which fell behind the basket). I couldn't move it an inch. I don't even want to know what the carpet looks like...

Hi Nancy: I have the same problem - I have to store my dumbbells in my livingroom too. Because my husband lifts along with Cathe and me, I have more than 400 pounds of dumbbells to store! I solved the problem quite attractively by purchasing a large retangular wicker basket (about 15" high, 21"...

Try throwing in a cut up sweet potato or 2. Really makes the soup tasty. It's my "secret ingredient." :p Debbie Russo

RE: Answer for Debbie Russo Annette Thanks so much. I knew you would know! Debbie

Hi! Quick question for the all-knowing auqa queen. I have a friend who is in her late 60's. She teaches water aerobics 3xs a week, but up to 3 classes a day. She is recovering (at the one year mark now) from esphogial cancer. Her problem is that her voice is not as strong as it was prior to the...

Hi dmd! Believe it or not, my husband has been doing step for about 12 years. We started with the first Step Reebok tape and now he can handle all of cathe's stuff. I must admit Rythmic Step took a while - we broke it down into segments and worked each part, with a CTX tape after, until he got...

Heaven's Bistro frozen pizzas -- unbelievable!!! They have 5 different kinds - Cheese, Grilled Veggie, Turkey Pepperoni, Chicken Sausage and BBQ Chicken. They vary in calories from 190 to 260 per serving (1/3 of pizza) and from 1 gram of fat (grilled veggie) to 3 grams for the sausage. They...

hi honeybunch: You may want to check out the International Fitness Professionals Association website. They offer a continuing education course called Golf and Exercise. www.ifpa-fitness.com Go to certifications and then continuing education. I live in a community in Florida (west coast, by...

When doing squats, or any exercise for that matter, working through a complete range of motion is what you should aim for; however, complete ROM for one person is not the same for the next. You should never sacrifice proper form for an increased ROM. When doing squats, 90 degrees is the lowest...

Hi! Placing blocks under your heels is not recommended form for squats. Elevating the heels shortens the knee-toe line during the exercise and increases the risk of knee injury. Maintaining the knee-toe line (not allowing your knees to extend over your toes) reduces the stress on the knee...
