Thanks so much for your input guys. The "Y" here has a group cycling class that I can try out for free, so I think I might do that. Thanks again, Vickie

Hi Everyone, I am thinking about buying a spinning bike, and I need some advice. I cannot stand exercise bikes, but I have heard that spinning is entirely different. Those of you that have spinning bikes, do you love them? Do you usually use a spinning video with them, and where did you buy...

Hey everyone, I think Hagrid will be killed, because he is ultimately expendable. He is also a father figure for Harry. Harry's mother scrificed herself for Harry, and then Dumbledore did the same thing. I think Hagrid will die, and possibly Neville or Ginny.

Marietta, Thank you so much, I think I will try this. I actually have a friend who is a physical therapist and she is going to try ultra-sound waves on it. We'll see. Vickie

Marietta, Thanks so much for the link. I have seen these, but they look so uncomfortable. Is this the "splint" you have, and do you wear it every night? Did it take you a while to get used to sleeping in it? Thanks again, Vickie

Thanks so much for your replies, I have probably had this going on 8 months, and to be completely honest I thought it was just because I was getting old (stupid, right!)! I am hoping that the podiatrist will help. Vickie

Hi everyone, I am suffering from plantar fasciitis, which I had never even heard of until it hit me. I have been stretching as is suggested, which was helping, but the pain has gotten severe. I use to be able to work out without any problems, the pain would just bother me in the PM, and...

Cathe, How wonderful that you finally have an answer and are on the road to recovery (hopefully). Relax and enjoy your Easter holiday with your family. Vickie

RE: Have I just *totally* screwed up my body/metabolism... niclyf, I have been where you are too. I was very heavy when I was young, and a very anorexic teen and young adult. The mindset will always be there, you have to learn to "control" the negative talk. Please seek a new therapist...

Dear Cathe, To quote a very smart lady, "Focus on yourself, because that's what's most important." I heard that in a video somewhere, ha,ha. Please take care of yourself, and don't worry about when filming takes place. To be completely honest, I have never cared when the new videos would...

I got up this morning (at 4am mind you), all excited because today was my "easy" day in the January rotation. Imax3 has become the EASY day! I just laughed at myself, because I was really pumped-up for it today. Had a great workout and the day has started off terrific. Hope everyone else has a...

RE: HBO movie Amy, Thanks for trying, I had googled it without success too. Vickie

Hello everyone, I know this has nothing to do with working out, but I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I saw a hilarious movie when I was much younger called Vanities on HBO. It stared Meredith Baxter Birney, Shelley Hack and Annette O'Toole. I have tried looking for it on VHS...

Thanks for your replies, I did weights today only, and it wasn't too bad, I can tell I'm just not up to par though. I think I will rest for a few days and just come back hopefully stronger because of it. Thanks again, Vickie

Dear Cathe, I have always wondered how hard should I push myself when I'm ill. I usually do a workout no matter what, unless I'm really sick. At the moment I have some respiratory gunk. Last week I was on antibiotics and had a fever for 5 days. Needless to say, I took a couple days off then...

Lesliemarie, I am not a therapist, but I am a "recovered" anorexic. I was severely anorexic for 7 years., by that I mean, I was never over 90lbs. during that 7 years, and I usually hovered between 70 and 85 depending if I was hospitalized or in therapy. My lowest weight was 58lbs was I was 20...

I'm no expert, but I know that some people get them from weight lifting. Vickie

maggie, Thanks so much for your input. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Thanks for your ideas too. I might do the getting lean routine posted here. It uses the Intensity and Hardcore series. I'll let you know. Vickie

Hi everyone, I was thinking of doing a rotation using a 6 day split with the Slow and Heavy series (1 body part per day), and alternating Bootcamp with some other cardio activity too. So, I would do Bootcamp 3 alternate days with the 30 min. of Slow/Heavy and 3 of Cathe's other tapes such as...

Clare, Thank you so very much for your post. I cried when I read it. It is just so nice to know that someone else knows what I'm talking about. So many of my friends have the idea that "it" (my anorexia), ended 17 years agao and I should just get over it. I know in my heart that eating...
