    My Friend Said I that I have a problem....

    My DH always comments on how lucky he is that I'm addicted/obsessed with workout vids and DVDs. He says he loves the fact that he can buy me $20 dumbells on Valentine's Day and I'm more elated than I could ever be about jewelry :-). Fitness related stuff is my passion, besides my dh of course...

    Remember when?

    First - what a great thread by a person from one of the greatest areas on this planet! I'm a fellow Atlantic Canadian in Nova Scotia :). I remember my first workout video - Abs of Steel (the original)- GACK! I remember working out before May 2002 - cardio was OK, but kinda boring. June 2002 -...

    Another hello to all you fellow Canucks. I'm in Nova Scotia, so it looks like us Cathe fans have Canada covered from Pacific to Atlantic. It's very mild here, but raining AGAIN! YUCK. :( Beth Our attitudes control our lives. - Tom Blandi

    LAST EDITED ON Nov-21-02 AT 03:09PM (Est)[p]Hey Anna, You crack me up! I love that I quit too, but every once in a while I'll get a whiff of someone's cig and it smells heavenly (for about 5 seconds!) :D Beth Our attitudes control our lives. - Tom Blandi

    former smokers

    Hi Sarah, I quit smoking cold turkey 4 years ago. It was tough. DH and I quit at the same time - happy newlyweds we were not! Unfortunately, nagging did make it worse for me, and it probably does for a lot of people. It is an addiction, and is not something that is easy to give up for most...

    Birth Control Pills and weight gain

    Just my two cents: NO ONE KNOWS YOUR BODY BETTER THAN YOU! A lot of physicians, men and women, seem to skim over the possible side effects of hormonal birth control. Each pill/shot/ etc will affect each person differently. If you don't like what you are feeling, switch methods/pills/ whatever...

    More S&H Benefits!

    Hello Everyone! I just wanted to share my thoughts as I've come off my first 3 weeks with S&H and into a PS rotation. I did PS Legs & Abs last night, and Chest/Shoulders/Triceps tonight and WHAT a difference! The thing I'm noticing the most is that my form is GREATLY improved, and I'm stronger...

    A little bit about ourselves..

    Hi All! I'm fairly new to posting around here, but I've been reading and lurking for a few months. I've been going to vf for a few years, but have recently discovered Cathe (was too scared to try her until this past July - WOW am I glad I tried!). I am 31, mother of a wonderful 2 year old boy...

    Using VCR & DVD player

    LAST EDITED ON Oct-18-02 AT 05:30PM (Est)[p]Hi There! It's really not a big deal to hook up both a VCR and DVD player to your TV. I have this set-up: VCR to TV, Cable to VCR, DVD to TV. The type of connection to the tv is different for the VCR and the DVD player. The VCR uses a cable tv like...

    Feeling Shoulder Work in the Traps

    Thank you so much FitnessRN and Maribeth. I'll concentrate on form more next time based on your suggestions. Where this has only occured during my S&H rotation, I'm sure the momentum in my other workouts must have compensated. I just have to keep saying to myslef FORM FORM FORM!!! :) Thank you...

    Here's a dumb question

    Hi Angela, I'll bet that barbell felt heavy! My bar weighs 18lbs. I definitely would not consider myself as one of the "Educated Crowd" (yet :)), but I'm pretty sure I know the answer to your question. When Cathe says she has a 50lb barbell, this is the weight of the plates & the bar combined...

    Feeling Shoulder Work in the Traps

    Hello Cathe & Educated Crowd! Quick question for you all - I just finished S&H Legs and Shoulders, and during the lateral raises, I noticed I started to feel it in my Traps toward the end of the first set using 5's. I switched to 3's for the subsequent sets, but still felt it in the traps on...

    Birth control pills

    Hi There, I'm fairly new to posting here, but this is one topic I have lots of personal experience on. Please use caution when taking any form of hormonal birth control (pills, shots, patch, etc). Every woman's body reacts differently to them. I had a VERY bad experience with one such method...

    Does anyone else...

    Hi DeeDee, Yep - I feel the burn in the calf too. I don't burn out before my quads, but I definitely feel enough burn to make me want to skip calf raises as they feel well worked from the lunges. I'm hoping some of the more educated crowd will chime in with knowledge and opinions too. I know...
