ChelePA, Ofcourse there are bikes at my gym too, and/but that is all I can do cardio-wise yet, so although I don't really like cycle, I know I have to get back into it. Your post gave me some motivation:p.. and will probably be back there on Tuesday. Meanwhile I did my First Lower Body workout...

Clasre, Thanks for your comment- and it makes sense. In fact when I went to the gym yesterday, I saw that they'd added Many new machines since I'd been there before "the tear"... and it was mainly the machines for Legs/lower boy that drew my attention- because I knw I could not do them at home...

Hi All, I guess I should give some background... I have been working out with Cathe- and other DVDs, but Mainly Cathe for probably 8-9 years now. I have always belonged to gyms for For-Ever... Cathe used to serve as a "backup" for when I couldn't or didn't want to go to the gym.. Three months...

How Have You Been Able to Integrate Cathe's DVDs with Working out At the Gym?

Tks everybody for your good thoughts!! Will be doing Abs and "Leg" today.... I will be using a vey light KB to do a one legged deadlift- probably holding on to a chair with the other side and also some floor stuff with my good left leg. I actually don't want to do too much with it- just keep it...

OK.. so I got the word from the doctor-- reading the MRI-- it Is an Achilles tendon rupture- and/but he gave me a choice of surgery/no surgery - and I took Door number Two.. I am already wearing a boot and will have it on for 3 weeks- and then we will see what healing/scarring has taken place in...

Thank you both once again.. Had my MRI today- and the tech- although he said that it shouldn't go out of the room, said that there was something there - but Not a Total tear.. Apparently he had a total tear and said that he didn't think with what he saw that I would need surgery...I was Greatly...

Bamagirl, Thanks So much! I never would have thought of boxing- and I do have Hard Strikes. Great and unique suggestion. I have no idea what's in store for me, and will probably find out on Monday, but seeing your post already gave me some hope. One of the tests for a torn Achilles tendon is...

Hi All, I don't post much --- and/but I might have an Achilles Tendon tear, which happened playing tennis. Having an MRI tomorrow and will know more Monday. Eexercising and/or putting weight on my right leg will be Out for the foreseeable future. I am wondering if anyone else had this problem...

Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for your good wishes.. And they seemed to have helped. My husband is coming home on Wednesday! Was in the middle of doing X-Train- Bis& Tris and I got a call from him- and stopped my workout to go on over to the rehab facility to find out what we needed to do etc in...

Hello Everyone, I have been MIA because of the complication from my husband's surgery, which will sound bizarre .. and that is he developed post operative hiccups for 10 days straight ( 22 out of 24 hours in the day)! Hideous to say the least. It necessitated an ambulance to bring him to ER as...

Hi Everybody, Just wanted to quickly check in to let you know that my husband's knee surgery looks to be a great success! I am going back up to the hospital now- and will spend the rest of the day there with him. Not surprisingly, I have no energy t0 exercise, but once he comes home, since I...

Checking in with PS Chest, Shoulders and Tris-- with a little bit of abs and planks ( which I actually love to do). Question for those of you who have done STS - and per Pam's suggestion.. Do you think STS can be done-- or is 'worth it', if I don't want to do my 1 Rep Max? I am concerned with...

Checking in with Pure Strength Back, Biceps and Abs ( not too much of the abs though..). In fact, since I like traditional splits I would have to say I think this is really my favorite combo DVD. I could do it over and over and not get tired of it. BTW, if anybody has any suggestions - from...

Another short reply to you all.. Sorry, but we had to get PT set up and just found out that my husband has sleep apnea and needs a C-pap. machine. So we're hustling to get one . And the holiday cuts things short .It's strange to find these things have overtaken life- and hope to find it just...

Sorry, :oops: I forgot to say Thank You to Cheryl too. Please let me know about your TRX training.. they have one at the gym.. Do you have one at home??. I had some training sessions with a trainer who had me doing those spider things, but haven't done them since............ Mary

Hi Ladies, I'm just checking in to let you know that I am taking a "rest day".. not really because we have been getting my husband's PT and equipment set up for after his surgery and have to pick up our grandchildren ( 7 and 12) after school, so I am off today and contemplating what you've said...

Good Morning Everyone ( at least it's morning on the west coast..), Janie and Pam, thank you so much for the welcome. I was actually looking forward to checking in, even though I haven't worked out yet today. Sat. did Tri-sets and Stretch Max with the band- both haven't done in a while...
