I am not going to ask you what you eat but how. I know you are so busy as am I with my new business. Can you offer suggestions for eating on the go? I am eating out way too much because I am so busy and am looking for help and ideas. Thanks so much, Cyndie

I have used your videos for years and at the same time have been a fitness professional. In May of 2002 my husband and I bought a health club for women. Since then I have gained about ten to fifteen pounds--YIKES! I have always done a variety of videos but no more. I need no nonsence and...

Here are some of my favorite foods. Breakfast Scrambled eggs with broccoli and feta cheese Oatmeal with chopped apple and walnuts and little maple syrup Toaster waffles with little sour cream and blueberries Lunch is usually a good healthy canned soup from the health food store. My two...

I went to community college and got an associate's degree in exercise science. I decided this was enough for what I wanted to do. I am certified through ACE as well. It is my dream to own a gym and my husband is very supportive. Probably in three years we will be doing that. The cost of...

What a nice post. Thanks so much for the update. Let me know if you would like any ideas on resources to help you get started. All my best, Cyndie

I always start with fruits and vegetables. Whenever I am eating poorly these are the first to go. I try to keep a mental tally of how much fresh food I eat. This doesn't necessarily mean raw. Steamed broccoli is fresh food to me. Anyway I just start getting serious about putting these...

Hi there Cathe! It seems a little strange writing to you directly. I have been on the forum so much but try not to post to you because you are so busy. Anyway I am curently working in an all women's gym where there is no assisted pull-up machine. What do you think about doing sort of a...

I did a search and found a good personal website of a woman who has your problem. Pretty thourough and informative. Go to www.lanchester.net and then you will see the segment on chondromalacia. Your problem is difficult. This woman said she did not receive relief from taking chondrotin and...

Thanks everyone! I am still thinking Starlight about your ankle and am a little stumped on that one. Hi Alison! I enjoyed talking to you too. I was a little worried about bothering you but it was so pleasant I hope you didn't mind. As for your question about SPRI tubing, this is what I...

I wanted to reiterate the advice from the first response. I just started teaching a kickbox class in a gym that is followed by Body Pump. I never have done it and now I am in love with it. It is high rep low weight and I really like the effect it is having on my figure. Cathe's Power Hour is...

Eating before workouts is a bit of trial and error and there is no one right answer. There is nothing wrong with working out right after you eat your bar if your stomach feels fine. You can even nibble on it during the workout. The crucial thing is eating afterward. Studies show that carbs...

Hey Honeybunch! If you get to Orlando, please look me up. I live right outside and would love to get together and meet in person. I can take you to the gym I work at and maybe we can workout together. I will be wishing you lots of luck! You too Aimee. I will live vicariously through your...

Just wanted to make note of how much I have missed all of you. I haven't been on the forum lately due to work but mostly because of the terrorist attacks. I am on autopilot for a lot of things and can't seem to be a little more lighthearted. Anyway now that I am back on I realized how much I...

I will try to do some emailing this weekend. You have to have Microsoft Publisher 2000. Microsoft Home publishing will not work I don't think. As for Joyce, I have your check right here in my hand. I have not forgotten about you even though I am so woefully behind. I am sending you new ones...

I would recommend in addition to Cathe's suggestions that you really focus on lateral delt raises. The FIRM touts this as a great way to make hips look smaller. As a trainer I have done this with a lot of my clients and it works. The other thing I would do is start incorporating tubing into...

I wanted to respond more from a physiological point of view. There is a man--Dr Rolzen at realage.com who states that lifestyle factors contribute about 70% to our overall health. He believes genetics play a smaller role. This is based on extensive scientific research and not just speculation...

I think you are talking about Energy Action Circuit Body Bar workout. I have done it and I really like it. It's a little cardio and a little weight training so you can use it 2 ways--add more cardio or more weights. I like to throw in a CTX cardio before hand myself. Now don't let me mislead...

RE: Hi, Cyndie! LAST EDITED ON Sep-23-01 AT 10:35PM (Est)[p]I don't really think in terms of poundage. I use tubing for more endurance type resistance training--Lower weight/high reps. I know everyone is different so this may not apply to all. I have trained many female clients' legs with...

I have the xerbar. I have owned it for about three years now. I really like it. The one thing I absolutely love to do with it is squats with alternating side leg raises. You squat down and then lift one leg out to the side as you stand and then squat and lift the other leg. It is a terrific...

I would also recommend Energy Action Circuit. The tape is great with a little extra cardio thrown in like one of the CTX. It's also good as a light weight training day. The Karen Voight is just coming out. I ordered it and will report back when I have done it. As far as Still Jumpin' is...
