Hello to everyone! :-) I was interested in seeing an osteopathic doctor in the downtown Toronto area to help treat a lower back/hamstring problem - if anyone can recommend one I would appreciate it. Also looking for a good physiotherapist, also in the downtown Toronto area (I work at...

Deb - you made my night with that story! Well-written, such a laugh - although it must not have been too funny at the time!

Hi Sham - how are ya? I found that restricting salt intake & also not eating past 6:00 pm really helps to reduce my tummy bloating

Hi Clare, I'm 5"8 with longer legs & shorter torso - I hate short pants too - I always have a problem finding flared pants long enough. At Costco I got a pair of BOCA pants(flared) & they are very long - they are made of 95% cotton & 5% spandex, but they feel too heavy for working out in -...

Hi! I just got Cristi Taylor's Hi/Lo Heaven & I love it - I got it for a break from stepping. The sweat's pouring off me by the end - it took me about 3 or 4 times to get the choreography down - I love her choice of music & her personality. Personally I like her much better than Karen Voight...

Marcia, My sister & brother-in-law just got back from Hawaii 2 weeks ago & had the trip of their lifetime. Although they were only in Oahu for 3 days (their main trip was in Maui) - we saw some video footage they took of Oahu too. The waves were topping 20 feet - there was a surfboarding...

Thanks for your responses - I will try to contact the interested people tomorrow by email with the prices, etc (sorry - got in late tonight - haven't had a chance to figure out shipping and all that) Thanks again. Susan

Hello to everyone! My sweetheart finally bought a DVD player today so I'm really excited to get some new Cathe DVD's and would like to sell my videos. Is there a certain website anyone has had suceess in selling their videos? I have the CTX series, Powermax, Power Strength series, and IMAX (&...

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone has problems with myofacia/facia in the hamsting area? I've had some massage therapy on the area, and try to keep regular in stretching, but it is still painful most of the time (since last April). Has anyone had success in having it healed & any good...

Oh man - I just did IMAX on Sunday - I STILL can't do the plyojacks (have to stick to jumping jacks - that's hard enough) and the power scissor singles are BRUTAL. Also just totally forget about the very last interval (flying leaps to power jacks to those jump things) - I can just do the flying...

Hi Kim I quit the gym over two years ago - and have no regrets. I lost 25 lbs since quitting, and have kept it off for 1 1/2 years by regular exercise at home. I found it harder to pack a gym bag, get to the gym & shower there then to come home and do a workout, where it's much more...

I really enjoy Karen Voight's Power Packed Workout as an alternative to stepping. I've done it about 10 times, and still find it challenging and fun enough (although the music doesn't suit my tastes - Cathe's is MUCH better). She does a couple of weird arm movements that I can't seem to pick up...

Great idea! It's worth a try... I struggle to eat at least 5 servings a day!

Just wanted to say i tried Imax for the first time today - and LOVED it, although I was really scared to try it. I love the simple choreography - the step portion is REALLY fun - will put a smile on your face. I got through most of the intervals, but had to modify a couple (plyojacks and those...

great site liz - thanks so much for sharing it with us

RE: Oops (maybe) Hi Susan & Patricia, I bought a pair of Re-evolution's at SportCheck a couple of months ago (Bramalea City Center) - they were on sale for around $100.00 (with tax). I've seen Ryka's at National Sports too - can't remember what 'model' though.

LOL - you made me laugh Janice - but everything you said is so TRUE. What bugs me is that they keep saying I'm too young to have back problems - I'M 31 YEARS OLD!! Thanks for listening anyway - and believe me, I'm constantly surfing the net to try to be my own doc. Susan

Thanks for sharing your experiences Cheryl & Suzanne. I have complained every time I go to PT about my back too, and she keeps saying it's a bit stiff, and I'm having a slight muscle spasm, but she says it's nothing to worry about. Even the sports medicine doctor I saw was totally unconcerned...

I've been seeing a Physical Therapist regarding hamstring pain (right leg) that I've been having for 2 months now (very tight & irritated). She concluded that I have scar tissue (from what I'm not sure - I don't remember a particular incident that made it hurt) & possibly fluid in the ham - and...

Hi Rachel, I've been on the pill (Triphasil) for 10 years now, and never experienced any weight gain from it.
