    Oh man! I can't believe this!!!!

    Has anyone read the Eat Right for Your Type book? I've read some of it and thyroid condition is one of the first things I noticed for Type Os. The author seems to be pretty knowledgeable about thyroid condition and what not to eat. I also remember reading that cabbage and cauliflower are not...

    gotta get an MRI

    I had an MRI once. Since I was so nervous about it, my doctor's office found an open MRI place for me. They have machines that are not fully enclosed. You should ask your doctor's office to find you one of those. I have to admit, I could have easily went to sleep in there. Good Luck!!!

    Which household chore to you let slide longer than you should?

    Sherry, I do the exact same thing with the bathtub. Huge tubs are nice but are so hard to clean. In order to do a good job of cleaning it, you have to get back in the tub (with socks on). I'm really terrible about dusting. I go weeks at a time before doing that.

    Enough stretching

    I didn't hurt at all. It just felt very uncomfortable while I was driving or doing anything that caused me to bend my arms. Whenever I could I would stretch my arms and it felt so much better. I'm doing it again tomorrow and I'm going to try doing the downward dog to see if that helps. I...

    Enough stretching

    I think you're right Catwoman. I didn't think about it until I read your post, but my arms do feel alot better now. I also think I could have went a little lighter on the weights. I couldn't finish the bicep portion of the workout because a got a bad case of nauseau. I wish I had written...

    Enough stretching

    Just wondering if any of you have experienced this..... After doing PUB 5:00 this morning, I feel as if I want to keep my arms outstretched. The whole time while driving to work (which takes an hour), I just wanted to stretch my arms out. Does this means that I didn't do enough stretches...

    Newbie question

    Could someone please tell me what Premixes are? I was happy to read that they are included on the new DVDs. Sounds like more workout options to me. I'm just not sure what they are.

    CTX 2!!!!

    I vote for CTX2 also. How about 3 different cardios on one DVD with weight workouts on the second. One 30-minute, one 45-minute and one 60/90 minute cardio session. That would be great! Talk about getting everything in one purchase.

    Pointers for tricep pushups

    Thanks for the response Cathe. I will definitely try the tricep push up "see saw". I've tried the bent knees and although it does take the pressure off my lower back, it doesn't really help my form much. Could someone please tell me which DVD has the Supersets workout. So far the only DVDs...

    Pointers for tricep pushups

    Hi Cathe! This morning while doing the tricep section of the 10-10-10 workout I noticed that while I'm doing the tricep pushups, I have a hard time bringing my hands straight down and keeping my elbows close to my side. I think the problem is that I have an arch in my lower back. Whenever I...

    CTX Rotation

    Thanks for the reply. I'm so excited! I've finally learned enough of Cathe's steps to get me through some of her cardio workouts. Now that I'm incorporating weight work, I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere. In one of her workouts she says, "Happiness is knowing what step is coming...

    CTX Rotation

    I purchased the CTX set a couple of weeks ago and finally managed to get through most of the cardio sections this weeks. What an accomplishment! The first three days I did the Circuit Circuit, 10-10-10 and CTX Step. On the fourth day I did Leaner Legs and Upper Body Split yesterday. I've...

    The coolest little fitness journal/calendar!

    RE: Hi Debbie! I ordered mine from Amazon. The original site didn't seem like a secure page to me. When the confirmation page came up, I noticed that it showed my entire credit card number. Usually, you get Xs with the last four digits. I just felt safer user Amazon.

    Firm BBS 3

    kw,I'm really surprised to hear you say that Cathe's weight work has never challenged you. You must be really strong. I have no problem completing the Firm Strength workout, but haven't made it half way through one of Cathe's weight workouts yet. I ordered her CTX DVD a few weeks ago and...

    New here - need help with choosing DVD

    Thanks DebbieH and Starlight6. You are all a godsend. I ordered my CTX yesterday. I took me quite a while because I kept adding other DVDs to my order and taking them off again. You can really get carried away reading all the workout descriptions. But I decided to go ahead and order the CTX...

    New here - need help with choosing DVD

    Thanks for all the replies. I think I may be buying more than one DVD. They all sound great. The CTX Series sounds sounds manageable. I like the idea of 30 minutes of cardio and working a different body part everyday. I like the idea of quick and intense workouts. I think I'll first try...

    New here - need help with choosing DVD

    After reading this forum this week, I ran out and purchased the 40" step which came with Cathe's basic step workout. The cardio part was a lot of fun and the weight segment was, to say the least, extremely challenging.}( I'm not sure I'll ever work myself up to the poundage that Cathe uses...
