Exercises for problem knees? Karen, I have learned 2 ways, 1 at the gym and 1 at home. Do you have access to a gym or do you workout strictly at home? Let me know. If you would, give me your email address and I will email the info to you. It can't be today because Iam at work and the info is...

Hi Honeybunch, I don't know how it compares but there is a new step machine at the gym I go to. It looks like an escalator. The steps are wide and they rotate around. I thought I would try it the other day and it about killed me to do it for 15 minutes. The next day my legs were really sore...

Hi Sheila, Iam not Cathe but I don't see why you couldn't add 1 more day of cardio and have 1 day of complete rest for muscle repair. You could add a different type of cardio such as: walking, running, kickboxing, ect.... Anyway, that is what I would do.

I have knee problems, nothing that would require surgery. It has something to do with the way my knees are built. So I went to a physical therapist and learned which exercises would help and Iam really amazed how they helped me. I hardly have any knee pain anymore when I workout. Lunges used...

I like doing both because I don't get bored. I like the convenience of home exercise (if I was home more). Iam away from home 10-13 hours a day during the week. And if I didn't go to the gym then I wouldn't get to workout. On Mon, Wed and Fri I go to a step class at noon. It is a great...

I live in the West and we don't have Devil Dogs either but I think a "SusieQ" is the same thing. Have you heard of them?

Thanks Cathe for your response. In reading the symptoms of heel spurs I didn't think it fit my symptoms because it doesn't hurt on the bottom of my foot. I will go to the doctor. Thanks, SusanR

Hi BayouGal, Sometimes mine hurts when just walking also. I have searched the internet for symptoms like mine and I can't find anything that matches. My pain is just annoying it hasn't gotten to excruciating yet. Iam sorry your is so painful. Hopefully the doctor can find out what is...

Hi Veronica, I read your post and some of the info on Plantar Fascia and I don't fit those symptoms. It doesn't hurt at all on the bottom of my foot/heel. It is up higher on the back of the heel. I thought I may have torn something but taking 6 weeks off didn't fix it. Thanks, Susan

WOW Marlene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I too am totally impressed. You did all that in only about 5 months. I was wondering (you don't have to go into too much detail) how many days a week you did cardio and how many you did weights. Also what was your diet like? Thanks...another of Cathe's senior...

Hi Cathe, Several months ago I was running on an indoor track and suddenly I had this terrible pain in the back of my heel. (The area where the back of my shoe is). I haven't been able to get rid of it. I recently had to take 5 1/2 weeks off and it felt okay while I wasn't exercising but I...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-29-01 AT 05:13PM (Est)[p]Hi Cathe, My aerobics instructor at the gym is a big fan of yours (expecially since you give her good ideas). When I told her you were expecting again her first comment was "Does that mean we won't get any new tapes next year!" Then she felt bad for...

Iam one of those people who hardly sweats. If I comment in class that Iam dying someone will say "but your not even sweating". Well, I'll tell ya my heart is pumping out of my body. I don't think you should base how hard you are working out by how much you are sweating. I like the "perceived...

When you say your Mom is making you eat alot of carbs, what type of food are you eating? As Debra said veggies and fruits are carbs but good carbs. What you should be avoiding is bad carbs (refined), ie: white pasta, rice & bread and sugar. I wouldn't say eat high anything but get a good...

RE: Can buy it online for $79.99 LAST EDITED ON Oct-19-01 AT 11:28AM (Est)[p]At buyfitnessstuff it says that you can use the Super Step for an aerobic workout which I assume they mean a step workout but if I recall correctly I thought Cathe said it was for weight training not step aerobics...

When I was a kid my Aunt made mincemeat pie and a delicous Rum sauce that we poured over it. Does anyone have a recipe for a good Rum sauce? Thanks, SusanR

Go to the link below and it will give you a description of both shoes. I really think it all depends on what your personal needs are. http://www.ryka.com/shoes.asp

I think in the area where you do your aerobics I would only put down the rubber mat. I think it will give you better cushioning than the pad/carpet. Good Luck

The only way to know if it would change your results would be to try it. They do say it is good to change your workouts. I would suggest you try it and if it and see what happens but I wouldn't count it as a strength workout. I really like circuit training for the variety incorporated into...

RE: Yearning for normalcy, whatever that is ... There was also a bomb threat where I live at our County courthouse yesterday. What is wrong with people! Iam also having a hard time going on with my daily activities. I feel so guilty with all the sorrow and grieving families.
