Any feedback on the Ryka N-gage from people who are looking for a bit more support around the ankle? They look like they have a high-top and with the ankle/foot issues I have been having lately, I think they might be a good solution for me. My last few pairs of aerobics shoes have been Rykas...

I started a job in january that requires me to wear heels every day (ugh). Lately when I am working out, my calves cramp up severely, to the point that I have to stop and wait for the cramping to subside before I can move on with my workout. The change in footwear is the only thing that I...

I think I read in a post from earlier this year that you were looking to move into a medical career, possibly as an ultrasound tech. Have you made any moves in that direction? I have recently been transplanted to Tucson and have had no luck in finding a job as of yet. I previously worked in an...

Does anyone have any experience with insulin pump therapy? I have my quarterly visit with the endocrinologist next week and I have a feeling he and I are going to butt heads on this issue : ) Any info anyone has (positive or negative) would be super! Thanks!

This is just an FYI for anyone who happens to be following a low carb diet. I read about these and wanted to give them a try, I had one on Saturday and one today. 2 hours after eating them I checked my blood sugar (I am diabetic) and it was through the roof!!! The first time I figured it was...

I just had to share....my husband preordered the BB DVDs for my birthday (in July!) and they were supposed to be delivered today. I logged on to UPS tracking to see that YAY! they were delivered to the porch. But when I got home...no dvds. I called UPS and they are investigating but darn it...

I know this may earn me a bunch of criticism, but I just can't stand it anymore and I apologize to anyone who takes offense to my comments. I know that Cathe and SNM are working hard to get the new videos and dvds out to us as soon as possible. I know that they will post any new info that they...

Can anyone give me a brief rundown of this pre-mix? I was going to try it tomorrow morning but I thought perhaps I had better see what i am up against. I am familiar with both routines but have never tried the bonus combo. Thanks!!!! RS

I have a question regarding the premixes on the Intensity Series dvds. I have been using my dvds for the regular workouts since they came out with no problems, but I just found Jillybeans rotations that incorporate the premixes and am using them for the first time. I am having a problem in...

Cathe, my DH is really pumped to learn of your German heritage, and since he struggles with a love of all the German foods he grew up with he wanted me to ask you if you are able to work in kraut and bier with your clean eating.

Educated crowd, please help! In one of the videos ( I think it is a CTX and my sister says it is Step Works) just as you are about to give up Cathe spouts off with..."Oooh I know I know". Can anyone think of which vid this is from, I seem to remember it is during a bicep curl? Thanks ladies! RS

I am sure this question has been posted before, but my searches have not turned up anything, so please forgive my repetitivity (is that a word? I don't think so!) I started incorporating weight days (ME, PLB, PUB) into my previously all cardio workout routine in mid-March. Since that time I...

Does anyone have any suggestions for improving my planks? I feel like I am not getting any stronger and I have been incorporating plank work in my workouts for about 6 months now. I still only feel it in my arms, I am focusing on not letting my butt sag or stick up the way Cathe says in the...

Ok, I have developed what my DH (he actually refers to himself as SDH, the S being for "super") considers is a real problem. I have a tendency to not take a day off from working out unless I just cannot even function. I know that the recommendation is to have at least one day off every week...

Has anyone done this video? How would you compare it to Cathe? I have a friend who uses this video and wants a new one, I want to recommend a Cathe but I don't want to scare her if this Reebok video is REALLY basic. What Cathe would you find it most comparable to? Thanks!

I know this is a topic that has been posted on, but I can't seem to find anything just right in the previous posts. I have a friend who wants to try a workout video. She is an athletic person but does not have any experience with aerobics, dance, etc. I am trying to find a beginner video with...

I have a question that popped into my head as I was doing CardioKicks this morning and wanted to get some feedback from the "experienced Cathe-ites"! When using videos, you are basically "taught" the move every time you do the tape, and in some videos, Cathe makes comments like, "when you get...

Had to share with everyone my big 4th of July fun! My DH, who usually prefers to watch the videos while I am using them (he has all the comments memorized) actually came home from a run and JOINED me in the cool down/stretch of Step Fit, THEN he asked if we could do the ab section from Step...

I am having an offline "discussion" with Mikie (the wonderful person who introduced me to Cathe) about which videos to order to supplement the ones we alreay have. Any opinions on SNM 1 and Mega Step Blast? Just to give you something to compare to, my faves are Step Works and Power Max. Thanks!
