RE: BayouGal... Hi Sarah, No, it is not necessary to read the Last of the Mohicans first. I have not read the book, and I did not find it necessary. If you have seen the movie with Daniel Day Lewis, it might help a little. You may want to look at the reviews on Amazon to get more of an...

Meraux, LA (which is a suburb of New Orleans,LA) Sandra

I agree that Outlander was one of the best books I have read. I read the next four and have read about half of The Fiery Cross. For some reason I could not get into it...But all of the others, I enjoyed. I don't typically read romance novels and agree that Gabaldon's stories are really so...

RE: Gayle, that sound like a hoot! I can't remember which workout it's in, but I want to say that it's power circuit. She is talking (I think) about your knees not extending over the tops of your shoes. She says something like "Make sure your toes don't go past the tops of your shoes!"...

RE: Ryka Supra shoes are the best! Hey Linda, Yes I am in Louisiana, in the New Orleans area, but originally from Baton Rouge. Thanks for the information. I know that I will end up back at the orthopedic doctor at Oschner, but for now I seem to be able to live with it. He did not see any...

RE: Ryka Supra shoes are the best! Hey Linda, I noticed that you said that you had problems with your right foot and posterior tibial dysfunction. I had some problems last fall (November 2001) with an injury in my right foot that took me to an orthopedist and he said that it was more than...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-31-02 AT 01:11PM (Est)[p]I have recently started a S&H rotation while waiting for my Intensity DVD's, so it's pretty fresh in my mind. In addition to those that Sharon mentioned, you might want some 8 lb weights (for tricep work) and some 12 lb weights. I especially find...

Hi Candy, I live in the New Orleans area also. I guess I could call myself a success story although I started working out several years ago with TaeBo and Kathy Smith. However, since I have been working out with Cathe (about 2-3 years ago), I have become addicted to her and am a Cathe...

Hi Linda, This would be a more expensive option, but there are a couple of cookbooks that come to mind that I have that I use from time to time. The one thing that I will say is that I tend to do more "homestyle comfort cooking" for my family and try to lighten it up. I do find that since I...

My daughter who is about to turn 8 in February got a Leap Pad several years ago and really loves it. She especially liked the geography game where you have to find states within a certain time period. We have enjoyed it so much that I recently bought her the Quantum pad which is geared towards...

I will take a stab at answering your question about the push-up handle bars and leave the technical differences between Power Hour and MIS to someone else (I do own both). I do own the push-up handle bars and do find that they help a little bit as far as the push up position being less...

Thanks for your replies! Sandra

I want to be sure that I am buying the correct medicine ball. Is the one in the picture a hard surface ball or squishy on the outside? When I was at Walmart, I thought that the ones that I saw were squishy and not as big as the one in the picture. Can anyone provide any clarification on this...

I don't have an answer to whether it's a good idea to do weights for the abdominals, but I wanted to tell you that I experienced the same thing with that set of exercises with weights. I also was surprised at how sore I was the next day considering that I do Cathe's abs all the time too. It...
