    Anyone using dumbells instead of barbell for weight w/o's?

    Yes, I always have. I just make sure to keep the dumbells straight and held as though they were a barbell. It's very easy.

    hate cardio dvds love doing strength dvds

    Me TOO. I am an absolute baffoon on step. I RUN for extra cardio, because even 'I' can put one foot in front of the other! ;-) I love strength vids though. Keeps me working all the muscle groups.

    PMS /prozac ???

    Try it. I wish I had. I am 51 now and learned too late, from other people's expeiences, how much anti depressants can help. Life could have been a lot easier. I say go ahead and try it.

    52 Year Old Body

    I'm almost 51, and I do what I can without beating myself up about it. I have LOADS of trouble with Cathe's more intense step routines, but that's more about klutzy-ness than fitness. I am a runner and prefer to put one step in front of the other (running style:P ) than dance around. Just...

    X Aerobic instructor can't lose weight?

    This post has been interesting reading! I swear, when you hit a certain age or worked out a long time, your body just does a 'posessed' thing on you and hits the weight-loss breaks! My body is acting like something I've never seen! Same as you.....;(

    Who has married more than once?

    I have been married to first husband a VERY long time, and although we are good now (too old to be bad;-) ) it has been a VERY hard road. Other than my grown kids,who are terrific, it has been a nightmare. Life is too short. I would NEVER marry again. Or co-habitate. I may date, and...

    A Little Less Conversation...

    Amy---funny you should mention that, not long after I did C&W the last time, I went to the grocery and it was playing in the store. I hadn't heard it ANYWHERE but on C&W since the 60's!!

    I feel SO OLD!!!

    I'm surprised! My sons are 19 and 21 (read it just a few years ago--like 5) and they knew who those guys were! But then, they are movie/celebrity buffs.

    Unclean!!! Post your food sins 05/10

    I have been really, REALLY good lately. Then I waited too long to eat and my blood sugar was low (hypoglycemic) last night. I talked myself into 'just a little ice cream won't hurt.' and ended up eating more than if I'd dished it into a bowl. ;( Drat!!! So, I ran today, cause somehow...

    Why can't I run?

    It takes time. I can run and run, but I can't complete a Cathe all-step vid. Ever. BUT, I've been running a long time. And, at first, I couldn't get 2 blocks, even though I was fairly fit. Like you, I was frustrated and surprised. But, I just tried each time to go a BIT further before...

    Personal Space Issues

    Definite crush, but I have to say I'd have to be blind not to notice if one of my sons were doing this to a guest. Did your friend not notice their child? :7 I would be giving my son (were he doing this) a throat- clearing- attention -getter, and then a cross face with a 'you're going to be...

    Thanks, Everyone!! That's exactly what I was looking for! I guess I thought it was in Vid, but glad to have ANY type of guidelines toward improving my runs. :D

    Cathe treadmill vids?

    Am I crazy, or did I read, quite some time ago, that there were Cathe-led running vids for home treadmill training? Are they older? New? I can't find them. Maybe it was a dream........;-)
