    What rebounder?

    I've been considering purchasing a rebounder and was wondering what rebounder everyone has and why you like it (or don't, and if not which one you WISHED you bought, lol).

    WHERE do you buy your fitness shoes?

    I've finally come to the realization that I need new workout shoes...mine are giving me blisters (I've had them probably over a year). I usually buy from a discount department store (here in California usually Mervyns or sometimes Macy's on sale) or order from QVC on the net. We have Lady...

    New Hope for this Push-Up Weenie!

    Okay, so last week I was all full of myself for having done 9 (alright, 8 + 1 really slow) push-ups on my toes (a new record for me). The next day when I tried I could do no more than 5 or 6 at a time and one day 4 was all I could muster--still tried to do a few every day after that. I took a...

    Need toned arms by September! Help

    Okay, I am in a friends wedding at the end of September. She just emailed me a picture of the dress I'll be wearing...very pretty...but sleeveless. My arms are not nearly as toned and cut as I'd like them to be and my triceps are still quite jiggly. I'm 48 (soon to be 49) so they are may never...

    Ramping/Bosu

    Okay I'm not sure if any of you have both the Ramp and a Bosu...my question is do you think the Bosu would work as a ramp? I've not used either one, so don't know if my question is even valid, LOL. I'm trying to avoid buying another piece of equipment (tiny condo issue), but the ramping things...

    Can a DVD Player go Bad?---sorry kind of long

    I have several of Cathe's workouts now on DVD: Intensity Series, BB Series, Slow & Heavy, CTX Series they all play fine, wonderful, groovey on my DVD player. Yesterday I received the Classics DVD and tried to preview it. The player read the disk--I got the copyright warnings and the main menu...

    scleropathy

    I am full of questions lately! :) Anyway, I am having sclerotherapy done this next Tuesday. The doctor said I am free to carry on my normal activities--even intense exercise afterwards if I feel like it. He did, however, say that I may NOT feel like it--I'll have to have the compression...

    Favorite Body Part/Accomplishment

    Okay, there have probably been dozens of threads like this, but I think it's fun from time to time to revisit the subject...what are your favorite body parts/accomplishments. Sometimes I think I should be more sculpted after a year and a half, but then I stop to realize how far I've come in...

    Aerobic Threshold question

    I just finished Kick, Punch & Crunch for the first time and LOVED IT!!!! What I was so happy about is that I was able to do the entire workout without modifying to lower intensity (much :) ). I have a question though: I used a Polar heartrate monitor to track my workout. In 1 hour and 7...

    Twitchy Leg...

    I've had little eye twitches before, but last night my leg started to twitch. It starts at the hip flexor and moves into the quad area. Has anyone had this happen before? Did I overwork it? I didn't do a heavy lower body workout yesterday, but I did do lots of walking on Saturday and did a...

    New Favorite Exercise

    Okay, I did Muscle Endurance for the first time today and, WOW, I have a new favorite exercise. Glute raises! When I previewed this workout, I wasn't sure I was going to like them, or even be able to do them correctly, but I do and I did. I felt them right away, right where I was supposed to...

    Gaining Strength

    I've been working out 4-6 times per week for the last 14 months, mostly with the Firm and recently (just 3 weeks) with Cathe. I've been able to increase my weights on several exercises, both lower and upper body, EXCEPT for biceps. I cannot seem to lift heavier than 8 pound dumbells, and even...

    New toys arrived!

    Here's what I got: Troy Lite barbell set, high step and a full step. I LOVE my new toys! All of them! I discovered that I can do bicep curls with a 20 pound barbell where previously I've struggled with 8 pound dumbells. I couldn't do a lot of them though because I did a full workout...

    New convert!

    I've been hearing about Cathe's workouts for over a year now and finally decided to take the plunge. So far I've done Pyramid Lower and Upper. LOVED these workouts! I did Lower on Friday and Upper on Saturday, and my muscles are still sore! I have a problem however...which DVD to order next...
