Sounds like a plan!

Gettingfit - that sounds great. I'd love to meet all of you, I'm sure we'd have a great time. ;-)

DebbieH - if the Roadtrip falls through and you and Honeybunch decide to head out this way anyway, just give a holler!
 
RE: Sounds like a plan!

Thanks - I'll email my address now.
 
Hey, Francine

My FRIEND in Fitness!!! I would love to hear about your "Rock & Burn" workout you designed. Would you mind sharing it with me? You can either post it here or E-mail me personally. How nice that Deborah might be able to rock with us! Thanks, Francine.

Your-Friend-In-Fitness, DebbieH http://www.plaudersmilies.de/wavey.gif If You Get The Choice To Sit It Out Or Dance...I Hope You DANCE!!!
 
Rockin' my life away!!!

I'm taking Franci up on her offer! We're going to get together Sunday! I can't wait to meet another Cathe devote' fact-to-face!

If Franci doesn't get the rock & burn rotation to you, I will! We'll all burn, baby, burn!
 
Woo-Hoooo!

Let us know what you think, Deborah! It's a nice piece of equipment. I was very happy with the quality, especially since I got it for $89.00!! I even had the thought that this is something I coud take along on a vacation if we drive. Now, how sick is that?? Always thinking ahead! Have fun meeting Franci! Keep us posted.

Hey Deb --

The last two VF roadtrips, I'm sad to say, I was a pitiful wait-lister. It happened to me because I only visit VF sporadically (I know, I know, I should just make it a habit). So I want to ask a favor of ya -- if you hear of a VF trip PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE e-mail me! If I miss another one I will just have to commit some kind of hari-kari. :)

Do we have to wait for VF to put together a trip? Could we organize one on this site? I'm wondering if it might not be better to plan it for early winter so that Cathe and crew could get settled in (and hey, WHAT an incentive to go light on the holiday goodies!!!)

RE: Woo-Hoooo!

DebbieH...we could drive out together, I'm from Columbus! I'll bring along one of those pizzas from Trader Joe's!

:)Stacy
 
Okay, Kath!

And likewise, if YOU hear anything, let us all know. Wouldn't it be sooo much FUN!? I guess Cathe's new place is going to be quite a bit bigger so it will accomodate more students/fans, whatever we are!! I'm not really sure what all goes into organizing a trip. Does anyone here have any experience???

RE: Woo-Hoooo!

Ok, I'm telling you guys, if Cathe doesn't do a road trip--come anyway. My house isn't huge, but it's big enough for a grown-up girls slumber party! We can all go see Cathe together. Yeah, I'm 30 minutes or so from Cathe, but it's closer that 14 hours, isn't it?!

We'll do our own Cathe road trip!

EDITED

I'm such an idiot when it comes to this computer!I can't even get the copy paste thing down!It skips some things and then when I paste it it goes lower then where I wanted it! Can anyone help me? When I'm writing an email and want to copy and paste-how can I get it at the beginning of the paragraph?The lines write where I want it but then when I click paste it goes an inch down! HMMM-- well I printed out the workout for GETTINGFIT and noticed that I didn't have certain foot placements in my previous post-so I had to update it!It was easier when my nephew was videoing me when I was making my workouts--I just flowed through the motions and everything comes to me--writing the format is tricky to get the point across--I hope you all have a safe,fun workout and oh yeah-burn,baby burn!Your friend in fitness~~Francine
 
Francine!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Aug-11-02 AT 08:17AM (Est)[/font][p]Thank you so much for taking all the time to post this to me. I appreciate it. Oh boy, does it look like a killer! My rocker did not come with the "blue" bands?? I called and the lady said the bands are all black. I'm assuming the blue bands are lighter resistance for cardio??? Does anyone know where I can get the blue ones? Again, Francine~THANKS!!!!

Francine, how did you get involved with Jake? That is sooo cool. Have you met him in person? Nosey, aren't I?

Your-Friend-In-Fitness, DebbieH http://www.plaudersmilies.de/wavey.gif If You Get The Choice To Sit It Out Or Dance...I Hope You DANCE!!!
 
Lizzie, I go to Kinetix on rt. 363 just for spinning and weights. I've never taken a step class that's even remotely as intense as Cathe so it seems like a waste to take classes.
