    hopsital grade pumps?

    My son is 14.5 weeks old. I've started back to work recently...I dual pump/breastfeed in the morning, at lunch (I come home to see Sawyer) and in the evening. I have not been able to pump at work at all. With my first son it was easy, but I've been promoted since then and it seems like all I do...

    Did Body Fusion for the first time

    Good grief - the cardio kicked my butt! The weight part was pretty easy for me, but I couldn't get through all of the last cardio section. I've been doing the Basic Step video plus other weight training videos with no problems. I didn't realize how out of shape I've become cardiovascular wise...

    Working out after torn meniscus? (accident/not workout related!)

    I have a question for those who may have expereinced this type of knee injury. I posted almost four weeks ago that I had hurt my knee (my little dog and I had a little collision). I'm finally going for an MRI tomorrow. They think I may have torn my meniscus and maybe injured the cartlidge...

    Question about barbell weight

    OK - I'm sure that this is probably a dumb question!! When Cathe uses a barbell and says she is using 40lbs - does that mean 20lbs on each side? I'm confused, because when I put my weights on my barbell its not the same number of weights she has. Also, my bar seems fairly light - it's not...

    Eliptical Trainers?

    I posted a few days ago about a hurt knee - I thought that I had worked out using too much weight too fast but thought it was weird that it took my knee 24 hours to hurt after my workout. I was feeling so great after my workouts. I had forgotten a small instance - that morning my knee started...

    Help!! I hurt my knee

    Well, I guess I've been doing too much too fast. I sit at a desk all day and when I lift weights my arms develop really fast, but my legs don't seem too. I worked my legs out last night and felt fine. This morning was fine. When I walked up some stairs at work my knee hurt every time I...

    Presale DVDs

    Hi everyone, I'm planning on ttc #2 very soon. It sounds like the new beg/int dvds may be good to use when pregnant. Has anyone thought about this? The last half of my last pregnancy, I had to lower my step to four inches (I was only doing firm videos then) and I could only last about...

    Did Cathe Step Aerobics for the first time!

    Hi - I used to do the Firm quite a bit. So, I have never actually done a true step video (or class). I bought Cathe's Pure Strength a few months ago and really like it. Today, I just did the Timesaver 1 workout. I really like it. I hope I can figure out all the moves - it looks like so...

    New moms (or moms to be) with 2.5 or 3 year olds?

    Just wondering - how's it going? I have a one year old and I am trying to decide when to start trying for number 2 this coming year! I have always thought I'd like them about 2.5 years apart. I've heard that 3 years apart is easier since #1 can communicate to you. I just don't want my little...

    What to start with?

    I've never done Cathe before, but have done tons of Firm tapes. I have strong upper body. I need to work my lower body slowly because I tend to hurt my knees if I go too heavy too fast. I also have only been doing walking as far as aerobics so I would need to build up to anything real high...

    Do you really have to wait 6 weeks?

    I've heard a lot about waiting 6 weeks to workout postpartum. Do you really need to? If you continued to lift weights and do cardio until the very end, can you not start back a little lighter than where you left off right before delivery say 2 or 3 weeks after having the baby? Just...

    upright rows

    LAST EDITED ON Apr-23-02 AT 08:49PM (Est)[p]Hi - I'm only 7 weeks along, but I've been thinking of ways that I can modify my videos as time progresses. However, I can't think of one for upright rows. I assume the belly gets in the way at some point. Any thoughts? shellnc EDD 12/8 Another...
