    Question for morning exercisers

    I do my workout in the morning, but save abs for the evening. For example, if tomorrow morning I'm planning PUB, I'll do the abs tonight after my kids go to bed. This has two benefits: I do abs when I'm fresher, and it makes my morning workout a little shorter. Gisela "She's living in...

    Anyone else can't bring themselves to part with Cathe VHS's?

    For heaven's sake! The only way I was able to afford my Cathe DVDs was to sell all my Cathe VHS tapes on Ebay! Then I used the money to buy the DVDs--on Ebay! (and some at an online swapmeet). Happily, this was before bootlegs started popping up all over the place. Gisela "She's...

    Do Some Peop;e REALLY Eat This Way

    how do you workout in pants???

    You know, I'm behind on the technology, lol! I didn't even think of trying the "wick-away-moisture" type. I'm kinda cheap--hate spending money on stuff. Gisela "She's living in sin with a cowboy, and hell--he can hardly even walk!" --J.R. Ewing, "Dallas"

    What Is Your Favorite 80's Movie??

    Hey! Nice thread! I think I'll check out most of these movies you mentioned--I was a kid in the 1980's and now I'm on this 70's/80's nostalgia kick. Checked out "Dallas" from my library just to remember what people used to dress like and the way they used to speak. (I mean, aside from Texas...

    how do you workout in pants???

    Oh gosh! Now that someone ELSE has mentioned this--yes Cathe, how in the world DO you work out in PANTS??? Especially working your legs--I've given up on leg workouts simply because I forgot to put on shorts! (I mean, instead of pants) And YOUR legs in particular are so motivational and...

    What's the WORST movie you've seen?

    "Gerry". An indie film with Matt Damon and Casey Affleck. Oh my LANDS it sucked. Minimalist stuff with a barely perceptible plot and maybe five words of dialogue in the whole dang movie. (Okay, maybe fifty words. Still.) Also wasn't thrilled with "Happy Feet". It was cute, but then went...

    What do you collect?

    Cute little earrings, and, Tontarelli plastic kitchen products (strainers, plastic "Tupperware" containers). They are so well made, so attractive to the eye, made in Italy, and sold in the U.S. at the Dollar Tree! When I get a chance, I pop in to the Dollar Tree to see if they have any...

    Energy...

    This sounds like a description of how I feel when I'm leading up to needing a couple of rest days! Drag, drag, drag. I start feeling like a prisoner to my workout routine. I like to feel positive, so I take a break! Catch an extra hour of sleep! Recover! Gisela

    How often do you eat?

    I usually eat 7x a day. This is because of my blood sugar levels, or insulin resistance, or something. I gotta eat every 2 to 3 hours, or I'm a mess. I eat more frequently and in larger amounts during the first part of the day, then stretch a bit longer between meals going into the evening...

    Need some Boot Camp Love!

    Yeah, that did go by quickly! Things I couldn't keep up for a full minute: triceps pushups, planks, other ab things (oblique raises?), triceps extensions, and of course the squat thrust climbers. (sigh!) Oh, and did most pushups on my knees. I *can* do some straight-legged, but...

    Tyra Banks Rant

    I get what you mean, however, I just see her as human, with insecurities and vulnerablities like the rest of us. I suspect during her "so what" phase, she was just trying to convince herself that she was happy, but really wasn't so content after all. Everything's public about her--we all get...

    Need some Boot Camp Love!

    I'm going to do Boot Camp for the first time tomorrow morning. Feeling a wee bit nervous. It's the only workout in the Intensity Series that I haven't done. Of course, "done" is a relative term--I don't think I've completed Imax 2, and also have had to heavily modify the ab routines in the...

    How can you tell what is fat vs. stretched skin?

    I like to think of these words: "guess what, I am a 'hanger' too". Who said that? Cathe did! God bless that woman. http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=2&topic_id=53973&mesg_id=53973&listing_type=search#54391 Gisela

    Thoughts about going for time or distance

    (this is a LONG post...WARNING) I used to go jogging on a track. Sometimes I would use distance markers as my goal: for example, jog half a lap, then walk a quarter, repeat 4 times. Other times I would use my stop-watch for goal-setting: run 10 minutes, walk a bit, run 10 more, and so...

    For early morning workout-ers

    I have no dang choice! Doing it first thing is the only way I can consistently get it done. And no time for lingering over coffee--it's a race against time before the kids get out of bed! So, some morning's are better than others. Some days I have to choose a more no-brainer cardio, other...

    Question about working out on Pergo floors
