I first learned about Cardio Coach from coming to this site a few months ago. I'm glad not every one uses the "search' option every time they have a question.
If they did I never would have found Coach Sean. How do you search for something if you don't know if exists?

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to answer repeat questions. Because of you I did my first Cardio Coach yesterday and loved it. He's so sneaky he had me pushing myself harder than I ever have before on the treadmill.

Sincerely,
Dianne

I think this is a really valid point!

And FWIW, I (at times) have been annoyed by repeat questions, so I just skip them. At other times, I will answer. I am moody, so it just depends on the day...

Sometimes it might be a case of "you said but I heard". And sometimes some of us come across a lot harsher than it is meant

I don't mean to pick on you, just thought this maybe was a misunderstanding.

ITA!
Often times, what I write comes out different from how I meant to say it.

AbPursuit,

I didn't read Kathryn's response the same as you. It was very informative, and I think she took your question very serious.

BTW, that was an excellent question! I would have never known better. Cathe's store has the ankle weights listed for walking. I would of used them for that.
Kathryn saved me from using my weighted vest during high impact workouts. I didn't know any better.

I have a few questions..

Who are the moderators here, and how do we contact them with problems?

Kathryn asked me "why would you want to do that"?

If that had been my only answer, I can see why you would feel attacked, dissed, or whatever (as I am feeling attacked by some of these posts which are taking my words out of context or misreading my intentions).

As Carola pointed out, this was one line in the context of concern about injury possibilities when using ankle weights while walking. I invite anyone to read the thread that is being refered to and judge for themselves:

http://cathenation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=250807

The question "why would you want to do that" is the preface to an explanation of other ways of achieving whatever goal (the "why") Abpursuit had that she thought wearing ankle weights would help with.

In fact, Abpursuit's reply to MY reply suggested that she appreciated the information and my opinions. So why the turn around?

Who are the moderators here, and how do we contact them with problems?

I think the only moderators are Cathe and Chris.

I just email or PM Cathe when I think there is something that needs to be addressed (like the posts on the meat-fungus product some Chinese guy was trying to sell. Or the other 'spammer' who was trying to hawk his wares.)

I think we're pretty much left to police ourselves, and until our interactions get too "Lord of the Flies" like, they don't intervene.

(Unless a thread begins in the "Video and DVD questions" forum that is about another instructor, and Cathe will come in a close it...which she's done in the past... and which is why I direct posters to post those types of questions in the OD forums ).

You are hilarious Kathryn!
