    make up question

    Apparently, LaurEss is also good. I've ordered some samples from them. It has very few ingredients (don't know if that's the right word to use for make-up!) and so is less likely to cause irritation compared to some of the other mineral foundations. Emma

    Leslie Sansone

    Apparently, 4 fast miles and 5 advanced miles have a sound off option if you find Leslie is getting too much. ;-) I'm going to get 4 fast miles as I feel there are days that I really do need a lower impact option! I'm also hoping that Amy will do her walking DVD this year (and wish Cathe...

    Do you have a lipstick you just can't live without?

    When I can't decide which lipstick to put on, I always reach for Mac Sienna (one of the frosts). It's very flattering and goes with everything. It's the only lipstick I've used a whole tube of! Emma

    Other Instructors- Help Me Spend $$

    I really love Still Steppin on the Fantastic 4. It's steady state step and I'd say it's on a level with Rhythmic Step or the non-blast bit of Step Blast. I really love Still Jumpin as well, not quite the level of Still Steppin but they're both really good fun. The other hi lo one is not quite...

    Floor Imax?

    No problem! I love Amy's newest CIA Hi Lo Knockout. It is hard work but really good fun and the music's great - she has clips at her website. She's really got me back into Hi Lo! Emma

    Other Instructors- Help Me Spend $$

    I would go for Sharon Twombly's new Athletic Step Jam over All Body Attack as I think it's more fun - still quite tough though! I like Amy's ASC2 as well - the choreography is quite hard to get but when you do it's really great. The one I always pull out without fail if I want the feel good...

    Floor Imax?

    I think you can get step mats for use on floor. I don't know where you get them (I'm in the UK) but I think I've read other posts about these - perhaps someone else will know. Also, I think I remember reading that in Tracey Staehle's new steady state step DVD that she's doing, someone is going...

    What shoes are you wearing CURRENTLY? EVERYONE respond

    RE: What shoes are you wearing CURRENTLY? EVERYONE resp... I wear Ryka N-gage and I'm going to get the instructor model after these wear out. I couldn't believe how cushioned these were in comparison with the ASCICS Gel-100 crosstrainer I'd been using. Emma:-)

    Need help working out with a bad knee

    My DH had knee surgery in February and the one activity that the surgeon and PT kept banging on about him doing that would be great for his knee was cycling, as some others have mentioned - either on a stationary or real bike. The surgeon also suggested swimming and he's also just cleared DH...

    hot tea ???

    I'm from the UK & we have a lot of tea over here! I don't know if you can get Twinings in the US but they do a really nice Green Tea with Orange Blossom. One tip with any green tea - do not leave it brewing more than about 90 seconds because after that it tastes really bitter. I also...

    Okay, What's the story behind your Cathe name?

    I like to keep fit and I'm a girl (well the "girl" is pushing it a bit these days :D)! Emma

    Classical Stretch - which one do I buy?

    I agree with Michele that CS's are not really like Stretch Max - they are unique. Miranda doesn't hold the stretches for very long, apart from the last 15 mins of Intense Athlete Stretch (which is excellent for stretching the lower body), and they are combined with strengthening. They do seem...

    Excercise and vacation

    I admire all those who work out on holiday. However, I am always very happy to give my body a complete break (apart from the usual swimming and sightseeing). I work out 6 days a week and I think it's a good opportunity to give my old joints (!) a recovery period. Above all, I don't feel...

    Classical stretch - where do you fit it in?

    I've just got CS Full Body/Athletes and the Express DVD. I usually do 3 days cardio, 2 days weights and one other day (maybe pilates, yoga or lower body only). Miranda says do CS 3 times a week. To CS fans, I'm not sure whether to substitute one of my weight workouts with a CS? Will I lose the...

    I am offended

    Just a couple of comments from me. I am from the UK and I am a white woman married to a black man. He is in no way African-American, he is actually British and that is how he would describe himself. If he was to refer to his colour he would say that he was "black". Also, surely if all...

    For those who are looking for Ryka Enlight IIs...

    Thanks Marilea - that's really helpful. I think the studio and instructor are have similar ankle support so your description really helped!

    For those who are looking for Ryka Enlight IIs...

    As you wear the Enlight II's, please can you tell me how high they come up the ankle? I've got the N-gage studio and quite like the ankle support they give - do you know how the Enlight II's compare to the N-gage? Thank you! Emma:)

    CK Sales Closing

    Hi Yen. I ordered 2 Cathe GS DVD's from Advanced workouts. For some reason I had to pay import duties - it was around £14 (including the post office charge), for those in the UK that are interested! Maybe I was unlucky? I know that my very first Cathe DVD's were from her site and I got...

    CK Sales Closing

    Sad news for those of us who buy from CK sales. I've had an email from them saying that they are closing down.:( The closing down sale is happening as we speak (only 10% off Cathe's DVD's but alot more off others). Not good news for those of us who suffer import duties in the UK. As far as I...

    A vote for Kickbox Interval Cardio DVD with Core work

    RE: A vote for Kickbox Interval Cardio DVD with Core wo... This is a great idea! I've got Amy Bento's Kickbox interval DVD which I quite like so I'm all for our Queen doing her version! :D
