Marilu Henner's Shape up your life - Fittv

[wellness]

Does any watch this show?
She has some good topics....living a healthy well rounded life.
I like it.

I like when she shows "average" people - trying on different clothes, and what looks the best on them!

I've often thought about upgrading my cable so I could get FitTV. Would it be worth it? There really isn't anything else on that tier that I am really interested in.

I really liked Marilu in the "Taxi" days, but I'm not a fan of her "Shape up your Life" show. IMO, she has become somewhat fanatical about her approach to health and fitness.

I really enjoy FitTV. I like having a different cathe workout to choose from each day, as I can't afford all of the DVDs. I enjoy Marilu's show. I had thought of her as a fanatic, until I watched the show, and she does have some good advice. I enjoy having a channel that promotes being healthy and happy -- not rail thin. Allstar workouts and Namaste Yoga also are good. We moved to a place that didn't offer FitTV for a year, and I missed it SOOO much. When we moved again, I was SO happy to have it again.

I don't like the show. Aren't they all repeats?Melissa

I do think alot are repeats....she can be alot nutty (I agree with post before - re: food), but I think her general message is good.

I think her ideas about food are extreme and a little scary.

Hopefull, unless you can't afford to buy exercise videos and are taping the workouts, as I know some people do, there is really no reason to ever watch FitTV. I've had it for years, and have yet to watch it for more than 5 minutes. I'm usually watching Bravo, TLC, the History Channel, the Food Network, or the Travel Channel instead.

Nancy, I watch the same channels you do. Speaking of scary, is it me, or does Marilu look like she's been Botoxed to the extreme?! Her face looks mask-like. She was so much prettier when she was somewhat Zoftic, IMO.

Sarah,
You are so funny (and I agree with you wholeheartedly)! I don't care for Marilu's voice either; it annoys me to no end (like nails on a chalkboard).

FitTV is one of my favorite channels. I love Cathe, Fit Nation, Diet Doctor, The Gym, and some other shows. I like the athlete documentaries that they show from time to time as well.

Have a great rest of your weekend!

Your friend in fitness,

sarah, she was SOOO voluptuous back in the Taxi days. Nowadays I think she looks too thin. Just my opinion, though. She's still a beautiful woman, of course.

FitGirl, I also really enjoy Diet Doctor; Dr. Jampolis has such a warm personality.
BTW~ I viewed your picture trail and all I can say is, "WOW!"
You are inspiring!

I really like some of the all star work outs. I wish they would put some new ones on. I found Cathe thru FitTv so I have nothing bad to say about it. I don't really care for Marilu's show but I like some of the others. I am like some of the other posters, there are some Cathe's that I don't have, and it's nice to have if you can't afford to but all of them, so I DVR them. If I had never had FitTv then I would never have come to Cathe. I think that says it all!

I really do not like Marilu, but I do like The Craze (Melissa Rivers) because it shows how difficult it is to put together gym equipment which may have 300 pieces LOL.

This show talks about slimming down which can not really be done unless you exercise and watch your diet. I think once they had a pilates w/o being tested and that women lost no pounds. So they try to tell the truth about some of the crazes.
