    How do you organize your workout dvd's?

    Yes, I've been making soaps for over 10 years as a hobby/necessity. I give them to family, friends and neighbors. It is really fun. I use a lot of different oils. I use organic oils whenever I can find them. Over the years, you learn which oils your skin likes most. I have different mixes...

    Jari Love Rotation

    I like her older workouts better than the new ones. They are harder. The new ones have more cardio and less reps which is a lot easier. I suggest you use her workouts 3x a week alternating with cardio. Cathe's metabolic workouts make a great compliment if your body can handle the workload...

    How do you organize your workout dvd's?

    I had heard that DVDs can warp and become unplayable if not stored flat. I took my DVDs out of sleeves and binders. I ended up using empty spindles that hold 50 to 100 DVDs. I brought them from work empty. They worked great. I can stack 50 to 100 dvds on each. I have the workouts...

    DH started his thru hike of the AT

    I have been following this thread with great interest (and awe) for a while. I broke toes before and couldn't walk on them worth anything. I'm so sorry to hear that he fell. Sending healing vibes his way. Glad to hear that he is taking a day or 2 off. A little rest might just be what he...

    Mary's 4th of July Sale

    I think a get together will be a new form of exercise. We would laugh so hard we'll end up with very deep core DOMS. It will be so worth it!! All kidding aside, reviews are an excellent idea! After all, there is another sale coming in few months. We all need new wish lists like we need...

    Sugar! To eat or not to eat?

    Eat healthy and skip all things detox. As far as sugar is concerned, I limit it to the equivalent of 2 to 3 tsps a day because of the fructose content. You really need to separate glucose from fructose. Glucose is an essential nutrient that the body is programmed to preserve at all cost...

    Mary's 4th of July Sale

    Only 6? Amateur!!!!! I had a lot more than 6 in my first order and then went back for more. I refuse to count. Somehow Belinda loaded my shopping cart when I wasn't looking. At least that is the excuse I'm going to give DH if I don't get the chance to hide my packages before he sees them...

    Anarchy Workout

    tlc, I haven't bought the set yet. I returned the first disk to Kineticflix recently. I looked at my notes in my to buy list. I thought that either the cardio or the endurance workout followed by the strength workout would make for a nice hour long workout. There is a good mix of agility...

    Anarchy Workout

    I tried the first disk from Kineticflix. These workouts aren't like insanity or P90X3. Each disk has a cardio, a strength and an endurance workout. They run about 30 minutes each. I classify them as bodyweight workouts with a functional twist and a good cardio element. The impact isn't...

    Cathe looks like she has lost weight!

    Zero drop means that the back of the shoe is not elevated compared to the front. They are at the same height hence the zero drop. Essentially, they are equivalent to walking barefoot. Most shoes even fairly flat ones have a slight elevation. The elevation shifts the weight forward (change in...

    Cathe looks like she has lost weight!

    TurquoiseEyes, don't think of it as a flaw! It is a feature, a built in reminder to exercise. Otherwise, you know you are going to feel bad and your back is going to hurt. Of all the flaws one can inherit, this one is as benign as it gets. The only thing to remember is no matter how hard you...

    Cathe looks like she has lost weight!

    Reading your post reminded me a lot of me even though I have a normal arch. I am too an underpronator and I workout barefoot except for running on the treadmill. Check to see if you have Morton's foot (I do). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton's_toe ) This is a common condition (50% of...

    Aerobic Flooring?

    If you have the room, consider putting good quality aerobic flooring in a limited area (6x8 or 8x10 ft) for plyo work. You can look at the Keifer basketball flooring or the one that Cathe recommended with foam blocks (look for the springstep in the following pdf...

    Les mills pump

    I suggest that you do Meso 1 after you are done with your hi rep rotation. Meso 1 is designed to increase anaerobic endurance . Hi rep is designed to increase aerobic (mitochondria) endurance. You can't develop both well at the same time. The default is aerobic. You can add the 100 rep...

    Les mills pump

    I second Power Hour and Hi reps. I would also include Muscle Endurance and some of the newer metabolic workouts even though the rep count is still too low. I gained the most strength benefit by following few weeks of high rep work with STS. You can never be too aerobically prepared for STS...

    Pre-Order Cathe's New Ice Series

    What I would like to see in this series: 1-Two 10 to 15 minute stretch segments, one with more focus on upper body and one on lower body. I think this is the one thing that was missing in STS 2-Leg blasts that include leg presses on the tall step 3-A running timer in one of the corners...

    Pre-Order Cathe's New Ice Series

    I learned a decade ago not to make guesses on whether I need or don't need a new Cathe workout. I just order and let Cathe take me down a new path. I think the last few series really show off Cathe's years of experience. The workouts are getting smarter and more efficient. I'm ordering the...

    Dedicating today's cardio to my Brother-in-law :(

    Nanbo, So sorry for your loss. Your post painted such a vivid and beautiful picture of your brother-in law. You and your family can take some comfort that he is no longer in pain. What a great way to celebrate his life!

    So Stress and nothing is going right

    Kim, I'm so sorry you are going through this horrible experience. I understand how you feel particularly the need to save your beloved dog. I lost 2 cats to a vaccine induced cancer and tried to save them at all cost. The cancer was supposed to be localized and rarely spreads to other areas...
