HB, I just want to say how sorry I am that you are going through this. I dated a guy for 6 years and found out he had another girlfriend all along. I broke up with him, cried for months. 5 years later, I met my husband and now we have a little boy. It was the best thing that ever...

As a physician myself, I cannot believe any physician would recommend a supplement that has been so little studied in humans. I am surprised that anyone would believe all the claims on the link given above when they are the ones selling this product to make money. I would research anything I...

Asafoetida is a spice with garlic flavour. I substitute garlic powder in my Indian Cooking when I don't have it.

I have the ryka rhythm II and I love this shoe. It fits great and provides the right amount of support. The shoe is true to size, I ordered my mornal size and found it to fit great. I would try on other ryka shoes at the store and see how they fit you and basse my size selection on that. I...

I have 12 2 ft X 2 ft mats covering a 6ft by 8 ft area. I found I need this much space for the step workouts and KPC.

I use my mats in my living room and so I have to remove them after working out. It really takes a minute or 2 to set up and take down. I think they are very convenient.

I found my mats at Dick's sporting goods store. They have two types: 1) 2ft X 2 ft mats 10 mm thick pack of 4 for $19.99, and 2) 2ft X 2 ft mats 20 mm thick pack of 6 for $50. I find that I need to have a minimum of 6ft X 8 ft area to do step blast, KPC, and other workouts. I bought 2 packs...

Here's another option for flooring. I got a sample and it looks pretty good but I haven't tried it yet. Does anyone have experience with the rubber-cal products? http://www.rubbercal.com/Bounceee.html

RE: Hey Debbie! IMO Cathe is much more advanced than The Firm workouts. As far as weight work, while the excercises may be similiar, Cathe uses much higher weights (40 lbs for squats vs. 16 lbs). The aerobics is also much more intense and high impact. I have been doing Cathe for a month with...

RE: Hey Debbie! I am an intermediate excerciser going from THE Firm to Cathe. I bulk up very easily in my upper body. I try to generally keep 1/2 the weight that Cathe is using for lower body. For upper body, the heaviest I like to use is 10 lb dumbells, and try to stay one notch lower than...

I just got the Body Blast Series and the pre-mixes really make these workouts outstanding. I have already ordered the Hardcore series and really hope that you will have some pre-mixes on each DVD. I have had no problems with the Body Blast DVD's playing. LOVE THE PRE-MIXES!!!!!

Gina, thanks very much for your advice! I will try doing planks and deadlifts, and work harder on my posture. :)

Hi Cathe! I have been doing the Firm for the past nine months and now want to advance my workouts after having seen your workouts on FITTV. I have tried Rhythmic Step, Kick Punch and Crunch, and Muscle Endurance for past 3 weeks. I have noticed that I develop some back pain after doing RS...
