Hubby & I have been doing our little "interval hill" - run up the hill, walk down, run up, walk down. I've never liked running & was thrilled when we first tired this about 5 weeks ago that I made it all the way up the hill - only about .2 of a mile, but at about an 8% grade. Yesterday I did...

Wow! I had to share this! Two summers ago I made a meger effort at getting in shape. There's this hill not far from where I live. It's about .2 of a mile at about an 8% grade. I would go "do hills" - up & down, up & down - just walking. Well, by the end of summer I could see the improvement in...

My mother-in-law fell last week & shattered her wrist & cracked her knee -- OUCH! The doctors are doing all sorts of bloodwork, due to the severity of her injuries. I asked if they were doing a bone density test & she said they must be for all the blood they've drawn. How is this test performed...

I have a terrible time catching onto Kari's choreography! Not that I've never hit rewind on Cathe before, but Cathe's routines seem easier for me to pick up. I like Kari's personality and attitude, but I get frustrated with her routines. Is it just cuz I'm so familiar with Cathe that her tapes...

I've been watching "Judging Amy" on Tuesday evenings, CBS I think. The character Amy has a little girl, Lauren, who is sooooo adorable -- you just want to squeeze her! Anyway, she reminds me of someone and I just couldn't place it until last night. She reminds me of Cathe! At least what I...

Rosetta's from QVC @ $49.50, S&H = $56.28 I can't believe how light they feel on my feet! I did my workout in them yesterday and I felt like I had been exercising with bricks on my feet before! Also, the back of my heel doesn't keep slipping up out of my shoes, especially on repeaters. And...

Dear Susan, I believe in letting people know when they have inspired you and I wanted to tell you that YOU have inspired me! A few weeks ago, Oct 26 to be exact, you posted "training question for Pat" here at Cathe's site. I loved what you said about chasing various "looks" -- the waif look...

A Pat on the back for me: Just had to gloat a little bit. I weighed in this morning & have reached the 1/2 way mark on my weight loss plan. 25 pounds off, 25 to go! WOW! I can remember when I started & thought if I could just lose 10 pounds! The thought of losing 50 pounds seemed...

I just heard from my video exchange pal & Interval Max is on it's way! Should have it by Monday or Tuesday next week. Am I ready for this workout???? I have to admit as an intermediate exerciser I'm a little intimidated from all I've read about it, but I've decided that I don't care if I can...

I thought IMax was a step tape, but I just read a post at the VF forum that most of the intervals are done on the floor. Is this correct? Is it really more of a hi/lo interval tape? Thanks! Lezly

Since I got my Cathe tapes, I've done them almost exclusively. The other day I pulled out my tried & true Gilad Step tape -- I just really like that guy! The workout's not as intense & a little on the repetitive side, especially since doing Cathe. I found myself modifying some of his routine by...
