Mary! That was so frightening! Hope it's nothing serious! Do you think the pain was so sharp and intense that it caused you to faint, or was there something else going on? Did you do an ab workout recently? Sending you good health up I95!

Carolyn, I am seeing red with Beachbody! I bought Turbo Jam years ago and rarely ever use it; the commercialism turned me off completely, plus, the workouts were half-a$$ed! Good luck. None of us should give them any business after this episode if they don't right this wrong! Keep trying because from day to day, you'll get totally different responses.

I also have experienced tingling (feels like a warm sensation), but in my arms. It happens after I do back and biceps. The weights are so heavy, esp for back, that my hands and forearms get so tired. Maybe it's because there are some serious new muscle fibers growing!

Jean, glad to hear your back is feeling better. I was concerned for a bit. Modify if any move looks too difficult right now.

Colleen, I always wear my glasses to exercise, even though I despise them, lift my head to look out through them at the tv, and never wear them except before bed, but, like you, it's too early to put contacts on! Not to mention I feel like I'm drowning when I shower afterwards with contacts on! I don't know why! It's terrifying!

Mar, how exciting for your turbo tower! I don't know if I'll get one. The only time I feel like I might need the 'assistance' is when I'm doing the flat/incline bench presses. And my heaviest weight is only 20# for those! Not even a barbell! Yikes!

And btw, the frenzy of running around in Meso 1 disappears into orderliness in Meso 2!

I completed Disc 22, ch/sh/tris. The DWL on the bench presses were so tough! Plus, of course, you would think I'd never done pushups before, since I found them so difficult. On my knees, no less! After pushups, the rest of the workout was hard to do! I could barely complete the shoulder presses with my indicated weights! Sheesh!
