Hi Katie, I also put ground Flax Seed into my oatmeal after I have cooked it. It gives it a hearty, mildly nutty flavor which I love. The first few weeks I was, how do you say, a little "gassier" than usual but this went away quickly and now I am just my "normal" gassy, LOL!!!! Anyway...

Thanks everyone for your help! I did find 2 of them on collage and they are reasonably priced. Deb

Does anyone know if some of the older Firms are available on DVD? I am talking about oldies such as - the Tortoise, Hare, Volume 6 "Boomers workout"? I now workout primarily to Cathe these days but once in awhile like to do a Firm to switch things up a bit. Since I am now part of the DVD...

Carolyn, I haven't taught fitness in quite a few years but your post jostled a few memories that I would like to share with you and everyone. First, it was those students who always came to my classes, loved what I did, and genuinely had a good time that kept me going. I also had those who...

I just tried those "Soothers" lozenges for the first time a few weeks ago when I knew I was coming down with the same virus my daughter and husband had. My usual week to 2 week cold got cut down to 3 days. They have zinc and vitamin C in them. I usually am skeptical about stuff like this but...

I'm from Western MA: Easthampton MA - just a little north of Springfield. Needless to say, I am housebound today!!!! Deb

I have to share with everyone my newfound love of Cathe on DVD!!! I typically am always late getting on the techno bandwagon (just went to CD from cassette tapes a few years ago, and had never planned to go from video to DVD). After reading all the posts about how great and flexible the DVD...

I started with the 20 minute workout. I even bought the vinyl LP that had the workout music on it and I would flail about in my living room LOL! Bess was a trip wasn't she? I then found the Firm and later Cathe. I guess one way to look at it is that each workout phase was a positive...

I had been working out exclusively to the Firm for many years and used to browse the posts on the old Firm Sparklist site where I kept hearing about "Cathe". Since the "Firmbelievers" were/are a group of exercisers who are very dedicated to the Firm, I became interested as there was alot of...

Fifties gal here I remember: eating raw cake/cookie/pancake batter (with raw eggs in it)from the bowl, raw bacon, and milk straight from the cow and never even thinking that it could kill me - it never did. my mom saying "because I said so" and actually respecting the statement...

1) When you hum the tunes to Cathe workouts for hours....... 2) When you are walking anywhere and say/play moves over and over in your head like "jab cross hook upper pop pop duck"...... I have actually done this walking on a beach during vacation! 3) When you try to rethink...

Remember those "closeups" of the participants as the revolving floor went round and round! My favorite was all those "dramatic" looks Bess used to give the camera! We all thought it was the coolest workout show out there at the time though! Deb

Hi Fab40 Even though I have totally converted to Cathe, this is one of the Firms that I kept and do when I need to shake things up a bit. I get sore and feel very worked out afterward! Deb

Count me in on the vote for Denise Austin. Her voice, along with the way she talks to everyone like they are toddlers drives me nuts. I never talked to my toddler that way!!!! I also don't like how she refers to body parts like "squeeze your tummy in really tight". Even my daughter, when we...

I ditto Gayle. I went to a women's rock climbing class; the experience was a challenge of my strength as well as my nerve and I am so glad I did it! You will learn to trust yourself, your belayer (the person who operates your ropes) and realize that you can accomplish what seems impossible...
