Hi Rebecca, I taught fitness class at a private middle school for 3 years. Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]. Teaching youth fitness classes can be very challenging, but corny as it seems, very rewarding. Debbie Russo

Fifty is just two years away .... Menopause was 2 years ago. I had a complete hysterectomy. It wasn't fun trying to find the right HRT combo, but now I use estrogen and testosterone. I can sympathize with the no sleep and the hot flashes. One night I had 13 soaking night sweats in a 7 hour...

Of course not because being tall is an accomplishment in the male world. It's like if you study really hard when you are a young boy you will grow up to be a really TALL guy. Short guys have it rough. My husband (5'8") was told early in his career that he would have a hard time advancing...

People are amazing aren't they? I am 5'11" (my husband of 25 years is 5'8"). I am still surprised when complete strangers feel the need (and the right) to comment on my height. I have been compared to an Amazon, asked what the weather is so high up, asked to get things from the top shelf...

Lorrayne - If you had 3-4 days to do something "different" in southern cal, any suggestions? I am not a night-life kind of person. More into nature, hiking, etc. (but I do not camp - need my indoor plumbing and screens!) I currently live on the west coast of florida and will be stopping...

Hi - Any suggestions about visiting catalina island? I will be in LA the end of Feb and I was thinking about taking a couple of extra days to see some sights. Catalina island looks like a very interesting place. Thanks in advance,javascript:smilie(':-)') Debbie Russo

Hi Dallas, I live about an hour south of Tampa and while I haven't been to Busch Gardens in about 5 years, I think your kids are probably too young. There are tons of rides (mega-roller coasters) that would most likely be too much the the youngest 2. The safari isn't as good as Animal Kingdom...

Hi Lorrie, I had a complete hysterectomy April 9, 2004 at age 46. There is nothing that can prepare you for instant menopause. I also recovered very quickly and resumed my workouts within a couple of weeks. Come to find out I am extremely sensitive to standard HRT (premarin) and became...

My husband has been doing (?) Cathe for about 10 years. All of workouts including rythmic step :o However, he refuses to do the "back to the TV" portions. When questioned he just grinned. Obviously it's free "a$$-watching". That's okay with me. Any 49 year old guy who can keep up with...

Hi I just hosted a baby shower for a friend, mid thirties, first child. It was a champagne and dessert shower :9 It was on a Saturday evening, which made it a little easier for moms to attend. I offered sparkling cider as an alternative for those who chose not to drink. I served...

I have to agree with you on the safety concerns. Didn't Cathe say on one of her IMAXs to only do interval training at this level no more than 2xs per week? Three days of IMAX plus BodyMax.. yikes! I am an advanced exerciser and a personal trainer and I am not going near this rotation x(...

Okay, I am with you all on the bench being perfectly straight. But here is my biggest OCD -- I must, absolutely must, do the exact same number of repetitions (whether lifting or stepping) on each side. In Cathe's older step routines she sometimes does not "balance out" the work equally on...

hi catherine oh my i can totally relate. i had a complete hysterectory 11 months ago and it has only been the last few weeks that i have felt half way decent. after the surgery (which was done vaginally and was a piece of cake) i went through hormone-hell trying to find the right blend. i am...

I have to chime in here with a very depressing comment. I NEVER had cellulite until I had a complete hysterectomy and went on hormone replacement therapy. Ba Boom it seemed to come over night. I am not at all over weight and I use a 100 pound barbell for SH squats. I drink water by the...

RE: Any othe Don't start me on the shoe thing. I love how the stores display the new styles in size 5 and the shoe looks so cute. If I am lucky enough to find the style in an 11 they look like boat pontoons. What's up with these pointy toed flats. The point adds and extra 4" to the length of my...

RE: Any othe Am I the only "Amazon" out here who feels that my height is an inconvenience? I am 5'10" with a 35" inseam and a size 11 shoe. Shopping is not fun; sitting in airplanes, movies theaters, amusement park rides etc. is uncomfortable; and sometimes people just make me want to scream...

Cathe's

cathe, thanks for answering. i am a personal trainer with my own practice. would that qualify me for the show? debbie

Hi Would you please provide details of the Super Show that Cathe will be attending? I live in Florida and would love to go. Thanks, Debbie Russo

I agree. I will keep exercising with Cathe as long as she keeps making the tapes. However, I do believe that she will have to make one adjustment for us older exercisers (I'm 46) and that is to use BIGGER TYPE on the back of the DVD cases. It cracks me up that I can do Viper but I can't read...
