ChelePA, Ofcourse there are bikes at my gym too, and/but that is all I can do cardio-wise yet, so although I don't really like cycle, I know I have to get back into it. Your post gave me some motivation:p.. and will probably be back there on Tuesday. Meanwhile I did my First Lower Body workout...

Clasre, Thanks for your comment- and it makes sense. In fact when I went to the gym yesterday, I saw that they'd added Many new machines since I'd been there before "the tear"... and it was mainly the machines for Legs/lower boy that drew my attention- because I knw I could not do them at home...

Hi All, I guess I should give some background... I have been working out with Cathe- and other DVDs, but Mainly Cathe for probably 8-9 years now. I have always belonged to gyms for For-Ever... Cathe used to serve as a "backup" for when I couldn't or didn't want to go to the gym.. Three months...

How Have You Been Able to Integrate Cathe's DVDs with Working out At the Gym?

Tks everybody for your good thoughts!! Will be doing Abs and "Leg" today.... I will be using a vey light KB to do a one legged deadlift- probably holding on to a chair with the other side and also some floor stuff with my good left leg. I actually don't want to do too much with it- just keep it...

OK.. so I got the word from the doctor-- reading the MRI-- it Is an Achilles tendon rupture- and/but he gave me a choice of surgery/no surgery - and I took Door number Two.. I am already wearing a boot and will have it on for 3 weeks- and then we will see what healing/scarring has taken place in...

Thank you both once again.. Had my MRI today- and the tech- although he said that it shouldn't go out of the room, said that there was something there - but Not a Total tear.. Apparently he had a total tear and said that he didn't think with what he saw that I would need surgery...I was Greatly...

Bamagirl, Thanks So much! I never would have thought of boxing- and I do have Hard Strikes. Great and unique suggestion. I have no idea what's in store for me, and will probably find out on Monday, but seeing your post already gave me some hope. One of the tests for a torn Achilles tendon is...

Hi All, I don't post much --- and/but I might have an Achilles Tendon tear, which happened playing tennis. Having an MRI tomorrow and will know more Monday. Eexercising and/or putting weight on my right leg will be Out for the foreseeable future. I am wondering if anyone else had this problem...

Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for your good wishes.. And they seemed to have helped. My husband is coming home on Wednesday! Was in the middle of doing X-Train- Bis& Tris and I got a call from him- and stopped my workout to go on over to the rehab facility to find out what we needed to do etc in...

Hello Everyone, I have been MIA because of the complication from my husband's surgery, which will sound bizarre .. and that is he developed post operative hiccups for 10 days straight ( 22 out of 24 hours in the day)! Hideous to say the least. It necessitated an ambulance to bring him to ER as...

Hi Everybody, Just wanted to quickly check in to let you know that my husband's knee surgery looks to be a great success! I am going back up to the hospital now- and will spend the rest of the day there with him. Not surprisingly, I have no energy t0 exercise, but once he comes home, since I...

Checking in with PS Chest, Shoulders and Tris-- with a little bit of abs and planks ( which I actually love to do). Question for those of you who have done STS - and per Pam's suggestion.. Do you think STS can be done-- or is 'worth it', if I don't want to do my 1 Rep Max? I am concerned with...
