Re Chin UPs I found that using my metal "over the door" hook from the hardware store, the one that I would hang towels on etc...was perfect. No more slippage from the bands. Then I discovered that taking the handles off and old worn our band and tying some study nautical line through the...

I bought some Gorilla "tape" which should cover the sliced area very well. It's just a straight separation in the plastic/vinyl running between the solid plastic of the step itself. Thanks for your input! Dianne

That stuff sounds great. Will it work for a tear, not the edges?

Does anyone know of a way to repair the plastic ribbed top on the step? I noticed a hairline tear beginning along one of the ribs. So, if anyone has come up with a way to keep their long step after it started this problem, would greatly appreciate any advice. Dianne

:) So relieved to find out I am not the only person on the face of earth who dislikes the phone! I have a cell phone only for emergencies and necessary conversations! I have coworkers...they go to the gym. I wonder how they find the time...I too, am comfortable with myself, my cats, and DH when...

Kathy, how long did it take for the in-laws to lose that excitement? DD MIL and StepMIL are falling all over themselves to sign up for sitting. Thanks for your nice response. Dianne

She didn't say I couldn't come by specifically, but the implication was there. I called today, and her MIL was there and she said, do you want me to call you if MIL leaves early? I think I can stop by tomorrow, but I am going to call first. They also asked that not everyone be over at the same...

Hi everybody, I'm an occasional lurker/poster. I think alot of your opinions, and I am sure there are many recently new mom's among you who might have some insight into this. I have a new 2 week old adorable baby GD. My dau and SIL live very close, and we have a good relationship. There are...

:7 You go girl! I too am 55. It is harder, that is for sure to totally keep up with all her cd's, especially the cardio. I was never great at it anyway, and usually end up lowering my step down to just the four inches! I just monitor my HR, and go from there. At this point, it's either keep...

I second every single thing on this thread! I'm 55, and I absolutely loved doing Low Max. AND...I did it only on the four inch step top. This was to keep may darn HR under 155! I don't get it...I am in reasonably good shape...yet, doing most cathe workouts, I have to use the four inch step, and...

Well...I have been an RN for 34 years. Yes, you can become a nurse in less than four years. Try your two year collage programs. Depending on what part of the country you apply, you could get in, in a reasonable period of time. There are prerequisites. The difference between an RN and an LVN, to...

RE: Peruse the site..... Hey, I am an RN..the other day I had a classic example of how our insurance industry works..I had a 19 yr old, in shape, male patient, who needed surgery to fix a fractured nose (broken is wierd accident with little sister) Insurance would only pay to fix functional...

Hi! I am an RN. Have been for 33 years...Wow, I get a hot flash just typing that. Anyway... I discovered Cathe about 4 years ago, since doing the Firm. What an amazing difference. I feel sad. My Firm tapes just sit here. There are ONLY so many you can pick from, and if my workout is going to...

RE: why do the people we love the most hurt us the most... The mother/daughter relationship is a hard one. Harder than dealing with one's father. I think the best advice, and I don't recall where I heard it, was, "you cannot change how the situation is, but, you CAN change the way you choose to...

What a mix of responses. Do you suppose there is a age related component to when you feel like you have time for your friends, and they have time for you. I have had some wonderful girlfriends, calling and confiding in me, Then, when they marry...it's like, "Where did they go!" I had a very nice...
