    Cat Question--FIV

    I will be going to the FIV kitty's house to feed him and clean the litter box. Is washing my hands enough of a precaution? I will take Kathryn's advice and also call my vet. Thanks for the replies ladies! Laurel

    Cat Question--FIV

    My neighbor asked me if I could take care of her cat while she's out of town. The cat has FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus). I have 2 cats of my own that are indoor only. I don't know much about FIV. Would it be safe for me to take care of her cat? What precautions should I take not to...

    All the best low impact workouts wanted please!

    I also have hip problems and have to do low impact. I like to do the KPC/LG circuit premixes and I just modify during the combos by not doing any jump kicks. But you do have to be careful with KPC and be mindful of your movements just like the other person mentioned. Also I'm loving LIC right...

    Hip Bursitis

    Hey Dave, I'm not afraid of the knife, but since this is the first time I've had hip problems/bursitis and I'm only 31 they haven't even mentioned surgery yet. It has gotten much better since I went through PT. However, I will be open to surgery when the time comes. Thanks, Laurel

    those with allergy/sinus problems-long and a little gross

    RE: those with allergy/sinus problems-long and a little... I've had allergies for as long as I can remember and I get sinus infections a few times a year. Taking zyrtec and flonase daily has helped alot. I also us a sinus rinse 3-4 times a week. I think it's called Neli-Med Sinus Rinse and...

    Hip Bursitis

    Are you able to do KPC or LIC? I haven't bought LIC since this all started about the time the new DVD's came out. I did LM without the step today (felt strange), but since I hadn't done Cathe in a while I was still sweating. I also have LIS and should probably give that one a try without the...

    Hip Bursitis

    I've not been able to do Cathe for 5 months now :(. I went to PT for 3 months and have been doing yoga, PT home exercises and walking for 2 months. My hip is so much better so I would love to start back with Cathe. My physical therapist said to begin with only 20-30 minutes and build up as I...

    BC question: mini pills?

    I took the mini pill for a year after I had my son (while breatfeeding) without any problems. I do think it reduces the side effects you mentioned. I got back on regular pills because I get pregnant easily and the mini pills are slightly less effective than regular birth control pills. You...

    Where does everyone live???

    Near Olympia, WA (1.5 years) Used to workout with the Firm. I found Cathe about 3 months ago...Wow. So I've just been lurking and learning from all of you. I finally broke down and bought the step with BS/BF, LIS & Lomax. LIS is getting easier, but it's still a great cardio workout for me...

    Thought of getting pregnant is stressing . . .

    I also worried about this. It always scared me. And then came the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy. I didn't care if it hurt or not I was just ready to have the baby. I know it's hard to believe and everyone says it, but it's only a small part of the journey and you will be so happy to meet your...

    had to share

    I've been using cathe for about 3 months now. I used to do the firm. We're military and don't live near family. My 21 month old son really doesn't get who grandma and grandpa are, but he knows who Cathe is!! When I turned off KPC today he looked at the TV and said "Bye Cathe" Too cute! I'm...
