Welcome! You will love all of her tapes -- Because I have two left feet I started with the Wedding tape and strength tapes (all of them). It started something in me because now I have ordered the new 6 pack coming out. You will also love the supportative, caring women that post here. In...

Hi, Cathe My doctor got a kick out of me hopping all the way in from the parking lot and down a hallway to the exam room and driving myself in. Because of your tapes I was not even winded. In fact, I hopped all over town looking for crutches to rent and never did get winded. Pretty good for...

Thanks Thank you for all the good advice. This morning I started putting more weight on my hands -- I think I will alternate arms one day and hands the next. I am finding when cooking in the kitchen it is easier to hop from place to place. The doctor said I will need crutches for 7 to 10 days...

Ouch Did your have a lot of soreness under your arms using crutches? The doctor wanted me to take PT to learn how to use the darn things but actually I am quite fast at walking with them but the soreness under my arms is horrible. Of course, last night the children needed me to help them and...

I broke my right foot last night and now I can't do my aerobics. I figure I can lift weights sitting in a chair for my upper body but I can't do my treadmill or a bench tape. Any suggestions? Today I spent the day hopping on my good foot while searching drug stores for crutches -- so that is...

Kickboxing When my kids see me get put the Taebo tape in the VCR they know they are going to see a clown in action. I also think that the Taebo basic tape is way past boring. Still the kicks help keep me awake. It is amazing how I can screw up the moves but Cathe is such a good instructor that...

Do What Is Right For You You need to take care of yourself. You are not in competition with your roommate. Hopefully, you can become a role model for your friend and she will follow your lead. Take care. Susan

Body For Life Shannon, I really like this program OR at least the eating 6 times a day. I do not think it is necessary to use the EAS products (although the shakes and bars taste great -- they are quite expensive). The important thing to do is to drink the water, eat small meals and...

Wow I am touched to say the least. In answer to your question, Cathe, I only sleep about 5 hours a night. I don't have a really great support system but my mother does help out several hours a week so that I can get out and run errands. I have the best mother in the world. She taught me to...

Hi, Alli I exercise mainly in the morning while everyone is still asleep whenever possible. I actually like exercising in the afternoon better that is a time, however, when my children all become hyper at once. I do not take all the supplements from EAS -- I mix it up to save money. I use a...

Hi, Joyce Thank you for your response (all of you). I am blown away with your caring. I am not really that special - I am just working the hand that I have been dealt. I am just like you -- I do the laundry, mow the lawn, take the trash out, get mad, love my kids just like all of you truly...

Add weights You will not believe the difference weights can make. Cross-train and you will get that new body. Enjoy the journey! Exercise can be fun.

Your Support Thank you all for such warm responses. I am going to print these out and put up on the closet door where I store my step and weights so that I can read them every day. I do get approximately $3000 every 3 years to put towards wheelchairs from the MDA -- of course, the cost is...

Me Again My state has just recently cut funding for the programs that were helping us. The cuts start in September. My mom helps when she can but my dad died two years ago and she is also struggling. This form of muscular dystrophy is a disease that my boys did get from me. I found out...

More About My Family Thank you for the warm welcome! I live in Kansas City. My oldest son, Grant, will soon be 11. Then I have Conor, who is 9, and twins, Meghan & Broghan (boy) who are 7. I homeschool the children because Grant and Conor get sick very easily. My children are very happy and...

Cathe, I wanted to let you know how much your tapes mean to me. In my early 30's before my children and while pregnant I worked out all the time with the Firm tapes. When my first two boys were 4 and 2 and my twins were 9 months, I found out that my two oldest sons had a disease called...
