Can't find the link on the homepage. Give me a hint on where it's at!!!

Nenita, I've had knee surgery twice to remove loose cartlidge and learned the second time that I have arthritis too. It's common, and exercise helps. I did physical therapy both times. The best exercise for me was to strengthen the muscles around the knee. These were straight leg...

I'm in! I agree with all the suggestions. Famous quotes: I think I'm having an outer body experience." - one of my favorites. Excellent Idea!

You didn't say how developed your hamstrings are?? You might need to beef them up rather than continue to develop or possibly over-develop your front quads. I've found that straight leg cable exersizes do great things to my legs. Side outer thigh will help with the sweep you're after. Do...

Be sure to tell us ASAP. Us fashionistas HAVE to know so we can be ready!! Best wishes for the new series!! :-)

Hi Cathe! Thanks for the update. I loved the suggestion to use a yoga mat for a step substitute! I had knee surgery (again) and stepping tends to aggravate my knee, now I've got a good substitute! I've found that many of my "setbacks" have been opportunities. I fell and broke my elbow...

Hey Beachgerrl! Not to worry. Just about everyone has herniated disks, it's a part of growing older and part of being a female!!! I have 2 herniated disks with a protrusion that cause sciattica. I saw a few back surgeons who told me that since I was "functional" they didn't recommend...

Cathe- PLEASE make a few DVD's where we can use a band for strenth and no step for cardio in our hotel rooms. Kickboxing is great. I'd love something like bootcamp with bands. - all strength - all cardio - cardio & weights floor only Thanks! Dlaudy

I agree!!! I'd love more cardio workouts without the step!

I agree!! My work schedule when I travel doesn't coincide with the hotel fitness centers. I'm out too early and back to late. I need a good workout in my room! Kick max is great! We need a small space cardio (no step) and a reisistance band strength! Please Cathe!!! Thanks! Dlaudy.

I too have a knee problem from an old injury and surgery 20 years ago. I recently injured it again and have been going to physical therapy. Here's the program: sitting on the floor with your back as straight as an arrow, tighten the front quad without locking your knee and lift and hold for a...

Joetta, Cathe is RIGHT. Go see a doctor. You may be able to do things now to prevent damaging your knees (good form, vitamins, physical therapy, avoiding certain moves or sports). I'm speaking from personal experience. Ignoring your problem now could lead to disability in your future...

I had this done a LONG time ago. Get to physical therapy! I was running about 4 weeks after surgery. Other things that really helped - swimming and jogging in the pool. Stationary bike riding - really helped strengthen and get ROM back. Strength training will be part of PT so ask your...

RE: In pain after High Step Circuit - Is this Lighten your weights and lower your step! Taking time to work up will get you better results and build strength. The best part about the high step is that it is adjustable!! Enjoy!

I found I moved down a pant size without losing weight by WALKING!! I added walking during my lunch hour or after dinner. Now I substitute some cardio days with walking. Running gives me the same result, BUT, I am recovering from an injury so I have to avoid high impact. That's why I started...

RE: Training diet answers I believe the buff ones pretty much follow a "fitness competitors" diet. You CAN get Cathe's look by following either Body For Life (buy the book or check out the website for free basics), the Firm 14 Day Diet (requires membership to FirmBelievers club), or...

I'm by no means perfect, but here's some things that have worked for me. I LOVE chocolate, and I will binge eat it if I don't have any! So here's what I've been able to do about it: use chocolate flavored protein/engery bars. The ZONE bars are delicious, so are PROMAX they have several...

Thanks Jillybean!!

Is it hard, too easy? Thanks- you all are such a great help! Dlaudy

Sandiegofit.com has a lot of cute shorts. Nike.com has the shorts that Cathe wears in the Blast and High Step series. They come in a couple of different colors - red, blue, navy, black, and gray. I also find things at Marshall Fields and Target. Some of the boy shorts bathing suits have...
