Hi all, I just got one of the small yoga balls, and I think I must be missing something. It's easy to inflate, but when I remove the inflation tube, I can't for the life of me get the plug into the ball quickly enough to avoid serious deflation of the ball. Any tips or suggestions would be...

Can anyone tell me which specific Nikes Cathe and the crew are wearing in this workout? I like Cathe's, with the black swoop, the best, but the others are great too. Can't find them based on a quick search based on how they look so am hoping you get the actual model name. Thanks!

Hi--hoping someone else might have encountered and resolved this! I have a new DVD player, and I'm finding that the menus on some of Cathe's DVDs don't display legibly because the color contrast is a problem. It seems so far to be menus where the background is a bright yellow and the menu type...

Hi, My mom is 80, and thankfully, very healthy and vibrant. She hikes every day and her legs are strong. But she is noticing that she has lost a lot of strength in her upper body--she had some trouble recently lifting sort of an average bag of groceries. I can work with her on some good starter...

I don't even know if it's even possible to strengthen tendons, but...the tendons in my forearms are very injury prone. I recently developed a bad case of tendonitis in my left forearm, and it was from lifting heavy. I've done the same to my right arm several times in the past. Obviously now I am...

Hi Cathe, I know these are Rykas, but which Ryka shoe is it, please? The workouts are so awesome--thank you!

I'm familiar with the moves, so I'd like something advanced and challenging. I have one by Mari Windsor that's not a bad workout, but I find her a little annoying. Does anyone have recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have recommendations for guided meditations? I'd like something that's audio only, so CD, MP3, or available via the Itunes store. So much of what I've been running into seems annoying or hokey. If it helps, for a while I was downloading guided meditations from a website called The...

Can anyone suggest some places that do blood pressure testing that would be less expensive than going to the doctor's office? My aunt will need to have hers tested monthly for a while as she adjusts to a medication, and it's $80 just for the dr's visit! I looked at walgreens.com and couldn't...

When figuring the 1RM for "rowing" exercises, how should I be counting those? So if I do three sets of seven rows for back, for 1RM purposes is that 3 reps or 21? Thanks!

For the exercises using body weight "only," there are some on disc 1, and I would assume therefore on other discs, where I either can't complete the number of reps Cathe does or can only do so, for instance, if I take the pushups to my knees. In those situations, should I be proceeding on to the...

I'm considering opening one because the interest rate is so much better than at regular banks (they are online only). They appear to be reputable, and I got a good review of them from one friend, but I always worry about the "if it looks too good to be true then it probably is"....has anyone...

Hi, has anyone used one of these? It's in the In the Company of Dogs catalogue, and if it's effective, it would be great. It's a substitute for those horrible plastic "catherine cones" that are used when the dog has an injury or wound that has to be protected from the dog licking or biting it...

Hi, I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion for me. I color my hair at home, and the best color for me so far has been "lightest" brown, since regular light brown actually looks pretty dark on me. Dark ash blonde is really too light and shows my roots in three weeks. However, I can't find...

Hi, and my apologies if this has already been asked and answered. I'm assuming the new software will work with IPODs for either PCs or Macs, but could you confirm? I have my fingers crossed for a new IPOD for my birthday and want to make sure what I *might* get will work with the software...

SNM or other experts...can anyone advise as to which IPODs will work best with the new software? I saw Chris's answer to a previous poster that we will need MP4 players, but what would be best in terms of the storage capacity (I guess more is always better, but what would be the minimum capacity...

I hope Cathe is resting today and not looking at the boards...if anyone can suggest how to manage this so she doesn't see the thread that would be great. Anyway, I was thinking that Cathe has worked herself half to death getting these new workouts done for us after being seriously injured...

Hi, my company is now offering pet insurance through VPI, both a standard and an enhanced plan. I am trying to figure out if it's worth it and finding it tough to be sure. What I'd like coverage for is really serious things, like a rattlesnake bite or my dog getting a foxtail up her nose. I...

My 2-year-old Lab has developed itchy skin, especially on her shoulders. I put Advantage on her for fleas and have since she was a puppy, so she doesn't have fleas and she's never had a bad reaction to the Advantage so I don't think it's that. Her diet is the same it has been for a year. Her...

Hi everyone, I know I've seen a post, or several posts, that list Cathe's strength workouts in terms of which are more endurance-oriented, but I can't find them via the several searches I have tried. Can someone either direct me to those posts or give me your educated opinion? Many thanks! Kristen
