You may have seen that the World's Strongest Man 2008 was held in Charleston, WV. I am requesting that you come to our city. Here is a link to our Convention and Visitors Bureau: www.charlestonwv.com You will find that we are within driving distance from many metropolitan areas, such as...

I began my fitness journey in February of 2001 when a friend of mine asked me to go to an aerobic class at our local YMCA. She didn't want to go alone. I weighed over 200 pounds and had never stepped foot inside a gym. I am maintaining an eighty pound weight loss and am now an instructor. DH...

Carola - The prescription was indeed a mistake. In fact the associate is the one who called it in. When my husband went in to question the meds, the Doc said that he did not actually look at the chart until DH called, and when he saw that the associate had prescribed blood pressure meds, he...

We are trying to figure out if we are living in the stone ages. My DH went for a routine physical and lab work. $605 later we got a phone call from someone at the group (there are 6 physicians in the group) telling him that he needed to get these prescriptions filled and come back in for more...

I like to use powermusic.com and dynamixmusic.com. They both have a wide variety of premixed 32 count continuous play CDs. You may also want to go to turnstep.com and check out the forum and search for "new instructor". You will find a great amount of useful info on that site. Have fun...

You may want to check out these web-pages. It describes how to determine your maximum heart rate and then you will be able to calculate the % for each zone. This is based on the premise that maximum heart rate is genetically predetermined and not associated with age (ie. 220-age)...

I found the Enlight II true to size. I wear 7.5 in Asics and I bought 7.5 in the RYKA. I also purchased the RYKA Engage XT size 7.5 and they were fine. The Enlight II do offer more ankle stability than the Asics running shoe or the Engage XT. I also found that over time the Enlight's have...

Thank you Cathy, for responding so quickly. I am going to try the massage illustrated in the example. It is as though that picture was drawn for me. I have had multiple x-rays, a bone scan, and an MRI to determine that nothing is broken or torn. Activity as tolereted was the bottom line, and...

I've been watching this thread, because I have similar pain, only on the outside of my ankle. I didn't intend to hijack this thread, but would appreciate any advice. Thank You!!

I have sucessfully gotten rid of moles by placing Juicy Fruit gum in their holes. They are attracted to the gum by the sweet smell and they cannot digest the gum, so they become fertilizer. Good luck.

...just do not feel like teaching? Sometimes I wake up and would rather not go to the gym. But, once I get going and see that everyone is having a good time, and getting a good workout, I feel energized again. What do you do on those days? T

I have found the use of a heart rate monitor to track progress really seems to keep me in check. Find one that will allow you to plug in age and weight and this will give a pretty good estimate of calories burned. You'll also learn about target heart ranges. So, whether I am on a treadmill...

RE: Cathe Volume 1 the CD - 67 non-stop minutes - aweso... Hi Gloria: Thank you so much for your kind words. I teach a bodybar strength class that this CD really works well with. The 130BPM are fine especially when using all of the different counts...2up 2down, 3up 1down, etc...You get...

Cathe, I want to tell you how much everyone in my classes has enjoyed the Cathe Vol 1 CD. By the time we hit song #10 "Hot Temptation" everyone in the class now knows it as "The ab song". I know that if any one of my participants heard this song out of the gym, they would be forced to hit...

I have a question regarding lifting weights and keeping your feet moving. Is there any benefit to "step touching" or "heels forward" while doing bicep curls, front raises, etc. with a body bar or dumbells? Why would an instructor do this? It seem to me that moving while lifting would cause...
