Hi all. I was watching late night TV last night and a woman who was burned over 82% of her body at the WTC attacks was on. Let me tell you, all my grousing about my sports injuries and fat thighs went right out the window. THis gal is absolutely the most inspiring woman--she was talking about...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-11-02 AT 05:01PM (Est)[p]There is a fabulous article on MSNBC.COM relaying one "plus-sized" bride-to-be's search for a bridal gown, and also readers' responses. (You can link to both from the "Living" tab) The original article has loads of links for on-line "plus size" bridal...

Vent vent vent. I am having a really frustrating day. Week 5 of no working out is just killing me. I miss yoga, I miss spin, I miss kick box, I miss step. I miss my DH out in California for over a year and a half now doing this long distance thing. I am now at the point I can walk on the...

I was wondering how many of the Cathe women still find Patriarchal tendencies in the workplace. I am a paralegal and I note that when I wear a more trendy "aly mcbeal" outfit on days we don't have court appearances or hearings, male attorneys are nicer to me, but don't take me seriously and...

Hello all. A while back I posted that I was undergoing VAXD therapy (which is a type of non-invasive traction) for my back. (3 herniated discs, lower lumbar, with degenerative disease (dessication) and two annular tears). I had constant pain for a year, and when the sciatica started I got...

I miss Cathe! I moved in with a friend in January and I can't work out at home anymore, except yoga in the mornings :'( All my stuff is in another state because my fiance has the house set up there while I remain in Nevada until I find a job. So for the first time since being a teenager I...

Sorry in advance, this is going to be long. I just got back from a consult with an orthapedic surgeon and it turns out my little old herniated disc my regular doc found on an x-ray was just the beginning. I have had really bad, nagging, every-day lower back pain for about 8 months. I sit all...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-07-02 AT 05:32PM (Est)[p]This article came to my attention about the deplorable conditions some workers face in "sweatshops" owned by Nike and Adidas. I didn't know of this, and it has caused me to change my patronage of those companies which sadly, I do love. But I...

Hey all. I wanted to share with you a recent experience as a reminder of the continuing theme to listen to your body. My doctor suspected a herniated disc in my lower back and modified my workouts for two months. Basically, only thing I couldn't do was lifting, esp. no bent-over rows, leg...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-11-02 AT 04:08PM (Est)[p]Hi all. I found this on WebMD.com and thought considering the time of year and the number of posts from new forum members, some may find info useful. :) Kristina Sensible New Year's Workouts You can also tell them, he says, by their tendency to work...

Does anyone know why many yoga tapes tell you not to do inverted poses when menstruating? I suppose I could research it, but I am being lazy and asking if any of you already know! :P Thanks much. :)

OK so I always say I don't have a hang up about my 'cup' size (C). I am not teeny tiny so a C on me is just normal average. I was very disappointed when Karen Voigt gave in and got hers done (although I think she looks just fab) Living in Vegas, where I believe I am one of the last "natural"...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-18-02 AT 02:18PM (Est)[p]I received this today and it made me laugh so hard I cried and my cheeks hurt. I thought some may enjoy. Happy Friday!- Kristina :7 6th Grade Wisdom: These are answers 6th graders gave in history exams. Watch the spelling...some of the funniest...

I don't know what is up, but I have noticed some serious bad attitudes lately. A casual "gym friend" of mine was being really nasty about someone at the gym the other day (that she didn't even know) and it really bummed me out. She made some comment about the woman's shape that was just plain...

I just wanted to share something I realized recently. I started doing SPIN for the first time ever about 6 months ago (2 times per week). In addition, I do step 1-2 days a week, and kickbox 1 day. The other 2 cardio days are up for grabs, I switch em around. Also in the am Weight training x...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-07-01 AT 07:55PM (Est)[p]LAST EDITED ON Sep-07-01 AT 07:54 PM (Est) Surprise idea, I meant to type...:) Hi all. I was thinking, inspired by something a friend did for my sister's wedding recently. In honor of Cathe's latest news, it would be reallly cool if we put together...

Anyone tried Karen's new Cardio/Strength Circuit Step video? I love Cathe's Circuit Max, wouldn't mind a comparable tape. I would love to hear your thoughts. I have all of Karen's prior vidoes, but since I found Cathe several years ago, I find the only Karen vids I still do are the...

Hi, expectant mommy! (Yipeeeee!) Wanted to tell you one of my step instructors at the gym was dishing on home workouts not counting as "real workout days" (the gym was closed for a week for remodel and I mentioned I would be doing your tapes). I loaned her MIC and StepWorks with a challenge to...
