Hi Emily I DO know several of those people - this isn't a very big place. Dave Holland lives down the highway from me; his daugher, Holly, was in my Brownie Troop a couple of years ago - a really neat little girl.His son, Nick, just graduated from High School along with my son, Jason. I don't...

sciatica Hi Louisa - I haven't had sciatica but the previous advice about seeing a physical therapist is good. Do you usually workout with tapes? If so & you don't have pain lying down (my mother in law had it and it seems to have affected her mostly when walking or standing), have you...

hi Susan & Emily It is a small world! Emily, I don't know Gary & Sheree because I don't go into the candy store too often - if I have candy in hand I eat it fast. Yes - to survive here you have to love winter sports which I do; I really got into skate skiing last winter - I had a blast & was...

McCall ! Hi Susan, I live in McCall - we're finally having some beautiful weather! I like this website because I generally like working out at home & I don't know anyone else here who does (I may not have met them yet). To drive into town & go to a gym would add an hour a day to my workouts...

thanks for the advice Hi Jul, Thanks for the advice - I really don't want to cut back on working out for too long. I would hate to think that I would have to choose between being out of shape or veins on my legs. But. . .$300. for support hose ?! - I cried when I had to pay $125. for mine. I...

PS tapes Hi Wendy - I think if you can somehow afford it (charge!) you should take the plunge - the PS tapes are wonderful and you will progress with them. I recently started using Cathe's tapes (about 12 weeks ago) & the PS series were among the first batch I ordered. When I first got them I...

sclerotherapy & this whole vein thing Hi Jul & Erica, I hope it's OK to jump in this vein thing but I have been reading it with interest since I am having sclerotherapy this Weds. (I'm hopeful the results will be good but have heard from a friend it's slightly torturous). Jul, did your doctor...

Female Athlete Triad Candy, I too saw part of that show on Dateline and it was a tearjerker but I didn't see myself or most who post on these bulletin boards. The female athlete triad refers to a combination of disordered eating (usually not enough calories for the amount of activity), loss of...

Body for Life - 20 min aerobics Hi Debbie - I too have read Body for Life and have also been wondering. I think a lot of what Bill Phillips has to say is true (I LOVE the before and after pictures!) but I also think 20 minutes would not be enough to build endurance. A lot of his book is...

asthma & pregnancy Hi Trevor - I'm not pregnant but as I was looking at the new threads your posting jumped out as I have been there. I do have 2 children (18 & 9) and I had to cope with asthma during both pregnancies. I'm NOT a medical person but I had to educate myself just as you and your...

Standing Legs & PS Hi Jane! - My workout schedule varies a little each week but this is how it worked this last week: Mon. - PS Legs/Abs, Tues.: Energy Sprint (just the aerobic section) & 1st 1/2 Ab Attack, Weds. - Both PS upperbody tapes, Thurs.- Reebok Intense Moves & 2nd 1/2 Ab Attack, Fri...

I was also turned off by the "look" of the early FIRM tapes and did not start buying any until recently (along with Cathe's videos). There's a few I like: Tough Tape#1 with Tracie Long (it's a more recent tape so the makeup emphasis isn't as strong), Sandahl Bergman's Aerobic Int. Training (I...

Thanks Cathe! Thanks for the tip - I will definitely try that video. You're right - the title does not apply to me, I've been married 14 years. However - because of working out I'm actually 10 pounds lighter and in better shape than when I did get married!

After years of doing other videos (mostly K. Smith), I upped the intensity by adding Cathe's videos as well as some Karen Voight & Gin Miller and I am seeing some great results (I love the Pure Strength videos!) I also have the MIC and Interval Max videos but I have to admit that I am having a...
