Morning all! Did Leaner legs this morning, some supplemental exercises for my inner thighs, and 20 minutes on the treadmill. Am trying to expand my jogging time...am up to 5 minutes out of the 20, and my breathing is much better. Eating yesterday was not on target...I had made lots of...

Alandrum, what is Viper? Ooops, we were posting at the same time. Now I know. Runner2, I do Curl at least twice a week--love that tape! Think it hits every area of the abdomen, and Kari is such a personable instructor. Got in a powerwalk last night since they were predicting rain...

Morning all! Congratulations on your weight losses runner2 and rhonda! Terrific beginning. rhonda, I have a protein shake every morning with 1 cup mixed fruit, and it fills me until 10:30-11 when I generally have celery/grapetomatoes/jimica snack, along with 1 stick string cheese and 6...

Rhonda, if you don't check in again have a great weekend! Today was first day I felt human since getting sick, but don't have any food in the house since I was away for a few weeks, and before that the hurricane/lack of electricity ruined all my food...will have to do major shopping this...

Hi, may I join in? I was going to start this past Monday...just got back from vacation in Mexico and was raring to go. Unfortunately got a case of Montezuma's revenge the last two days of my trip and am still recouperating. Today was the first day i felt up to anything...did 20 minutes on the...

Ooops, see a group has already started...duh!!!

Ditto here....I'm for a rebounder video.....voting with both hands high!!!

I am all for an all floor workout. Same problem, bad knees. Would love a floor workout with lower body focus.

RE: Susan... I am 60, have been doing Cathe for almost two years, especially the strength videos. Have bad knees so can't do step, am awful at anything choreographed, but love the weight tapes and the kickboxing. I adapt what I have trouble with, but working with Cathe makes me feel...

My 54 yr old sister-in-law just had both knees partially replaced. It is a new procedure....she had it done in Boston. They insert a wedge in each knee. Her recovery has been long...had physical therapy for a month and a half, and started water exercise but she still feels uncomfortable...

I wake, dress, walk the dog (generally at 6 am), then go down to workout. I keep a big container of water for hydration next to my workout area. After working out I stretch, then have breakfast, which is usually a protein shake with fruit. Hope this helps.

Could it be that she is on cortisone for some private health reason?...my daughter has lupus and when she was on prednisone her face got much rounder, as did her body, though she was still slender. It seems to me it is too easy to malign someone for their supposed superficiality when you don't...

McCann's steel cut oatmeal normally takes a long time to cook but someone told me a great hint so that it can be cooked in the microwave---soak it overnight in water, and it will soften enough to be cooked in the microwave like Quaker's old fashioned oatmeal--which I usually cook for 2.5 min...

Oh, what a funny thread! It brought back memories of when I decided to have my brunette hair dyed golden blonde. Unfortunately, with my olive complexion, the yellow hair made my face look jaundiced, so I decided that since I had spent all that money I couldn't afford to go back and have it...

As a 60+ year old, I find cindy rae's transformation wonderful. I discovered the site last month, read her transformation and I even printed it out and put it on my bathroom door. What I love is the real joy she shows in her contest, as opposed to the others who have manufactured smiles---she...

Francine, I feel really dumb, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean with the B&TR exercise breakdown. When you say cardio, do you mean feet in the center of the foot platform, and quick pulsations? When you add the weights, where are they--in your lap? And when you say feet to the...

try this site for step risers. I bought mine there last year and they were very nice to deal with: http://www.fwonline.com/stp.htm I think they also have medicine balls, but the shipping price may be prohibitive. Susan:P

You might want to look at the Tamilee Webb "I want those arms/abs/butt" series. They each have two sequences of only 15 minutes long, and they start with light weights, so aren't very threatening. As someone else said, it might be a good idea for her to start with something not too...

Bobbi, I know people on the Cathe website often look to other exercise routines as not their style, but as someone who went the same route as you with pf, I did find an exercise routine that worked for me--it's t-tapp. I had the cortisone shots, wear orthotics, stretched my calves and massaged...

Sherry, as a five year survivor of breast cancer, I want to encourage you to keep up your spirits and move forward with positive thinking. As people have said, the prognosis is so much better today with early diagnosis and all the new tools that are available. And a correction to what people...
