    Shoes...what are your favorites and why

    I am another Freddy girl myself. I have tried the Rykas, Nikes, Reebok and a few others but nothing works for my feet like Freddy which are now on sale at USbodyware.com I do believe. Link:http://store.yahoo.com/usbody/womcloseouts.html Sheila C.

    Calorie burning??:

    I do believe the calorie burning numbers are a little high. Usually when I do a spinning class, 60 minutes, I burn over 600 calories. I burn significantly less calories when doing other workouts such as step and weights. I use a heart rate monitor and sometimes I use a different transmitter...

    Calling all fellow instructors regarding the sweat factor

    I sweat, instruct and wear a headband and a teeshirt to soak it up. The problem with me is I sweat from about 5 minutes into any workout, including relaxing yoga, and don't stop until after my shower. I have always sweat heavily (not my sister though!!! - what is up with that - not hereditary or...

    Hi, Has anyone got this?

    I do believe I have the black and grey step you are mentioning but I thought it was a Reebox step. It does go up to 10" and it is the one I use when doing the step ups. I am short, 5'1" so it is perfect for me. I find 12" just a bit too high still. So I will probably not be ordering the high...

    Robert sherman reebok cycling

    RE: indoor cycling I just bought a spinning bike from efitnessdirect.com. I purchased the ENC600 Multisport and I love it. I am used to the Schwin spin bike in a gym environment and found the one I ordered was a bit more sturdy and the flywheel was heavier (60 vs 40 pounds). Thanks Sheila

    So, what are you planning on doing today?

    I think I will tackle PUB tonight. Yoga is during the lunch hour today. Then I will do the PLB on Wednesday and both in the premix on Sunday I think. Sheila

    Run aground by a spin bike

    I, as a spin instructor, do not feel it is appropriate to play with someone else's resistance. I always say work at your own level and, especially beginners, sit down and ride it out if you get tired. Yes you should have been at your own pace and working up to as high a level as you are...

    Pure Strength series or PLB/PUB ?

    I would start with PLB/PUB first and then add on the pure strength series later on. I use the pyramids much more than the pure strength series. I consider my Cathe videos part of my permanent collection - I have them all (though I do wish I had them all on DVD). Sheila

    I just purchased Volume 3 of the Intensity Series...

    RE: I just purchased Volume 3 of the Intensity Series..... I love the pyramid workouts. I really enjoy the premix alot too so don't just do the two workouts separately. The premix does a pyramid up for both the upper and lower body and is awesome. There are alot of variations you can do with...

    post baby: three 45 min. exercise slots, how to spend them?

    I just want to say Welcome back and congratulations. I don't know what tapes you do or don't have but I love Cathe's pyramid workouts for the weight training. She has some premixes on dvd that may work quite well at 45 minutes and you can always tack on what you don't do to another day (such as...

    DVD Disappointments -- Wish I had Stayed with VHS

    RE: Chris Converted Me I was converted the minute I started using the dvds especially since I was having tracking problems on the last part of my leaner legs vhs tape (which is one of my favorite workouts). In other words, I was losing my favorite VHS workout tapes and felt better about the...

    Has Anyone Done This?

    Robin, What is the model number for the Phillips Dvd recorder? I would like to check that out myself since I have recently gone dvd and have some videos (my permanent collection) I would like to get transferred to DVD before they wear out. Thanks Sheila

    I'm sweating more, am I in better shape?

    I agree with loving to hear answers like that since I too sweat alot even in relaxing yoga/stretch/walking/whatever activity. I sweat almost as bad as some of the men do! Sheila

    Floor mats for under my step?

    Sams Club (at least the one in Manchester CT) has the Home Depot mats with 8 of them in a pack and 2 sides have the edges so you don't see the ends when you put them together on sale for the same price as 4 without the edges. In other words, for an 8 pack of mats (4' x 8' or so) approx. $17...

    I want a healthy hubby!

    No you are not alone in this. My husband who has always been thin until lately (40's) has gained weight in his stomach and I know that his mother had high blood pressure and angina. I am so worried about his awful eating habits and outside of being on his feet as a custodian and working in the...
