Happy Easter to you and yours!

Chiming in too... I'm on my sixth time through P90X and have gotten pretty good at these. Start by lowering quickly to the bottom of a push-up and push up hard and quick while pulling up with your core. I started on a step platform and that made it easier on my wrists (has a little more...

Happy Birthday! Enjoy! Sonja

There is a way to do pikes without a ball. I've done them with grocery bags over my shoes and my hands on my step. Just pull up into a pike while sliding your feet in. Anything that will let you slide your feet in a controlled manner will work. :)

That was a great game! I've never enjoyed watching football before. It's funny how much more "fun" a travel mug made it.

Mine has Timesaver in the Supersets case as well.

I've dreamed about working out with Cathe quite a few times. One dream was pretty funny because I was doing everything perfectly and Cathe kept screwing up and was having trouble keeping up with me. :P

Happy Birthday! I hope this is your best year yet!:) Sonja

These sound incredible! It would be nice if an extra-long stretch is included at the end of one of them. :)

I happened to find New Yoga Challenge at overstock.com for $6.99 with $1.40 shipping. It's a great tape for $6.99. It's an athletic-type yoga tape that mixes power yoga with poses from several different types of yoga. I learned to do a back bend again with this tape and I thought that my...

RE: Has anyone else gone crazy buying workout equipment... I just want to add that while you may think of Kathy Smith videos as being really easy, New Yoga Challenge is not. A yoga instrucor, Rod Stryker, does the video with her and I think it's a good introduction to power yoga and yoga in...

RE: Has anyone else gone crazy buying workout equipment... I have trouble doing non-Cathe videos too, but power yoga is very challenging in a different way. It always makes my upper back sore. Downward facing dog is sort of like the v-pikes on the stability ball except your feet are on the...

RE: Has anyone else gone crazy buying workout equipment... You may surprise yourself and find that you can already do pull ups. I only recently decided to try to learn to do them and was surprised to find that I already could. I couldn't do any last summer(tried on some monkey bars) but...

RE: Has anyone else gone crazy buying workout equipment... Connie, if you can find something to put your barbell across, you can do pull ups with it. I have two doors in my house that open close together, and I just put my barbell (without weights of course) across the tops of the doors. I've...

Hi Cathe! I am trying to work on my posterior delt development and have just started doing pull ups. I can do 5 or 6 with an under-hand grip, and 3 or 4 with an over-hand grip. Can you tell me which grip incorporates more of the posterior delt? Thanks! :)
