    Beginner Kickboxing for a Kid?

    Oh hey, replies! I didn't get any notifications (guess I need to adjust my preferences) so I only just now saw these messages! Thanks everyone for the advice...I'll try the 4DS Kickbox with my daughter and get ahold of Mr. Billy's DVD as well!

    Beginner Kickboxing for a Kid?

    Hiya Cathe! My six-year-old daughter was taking Karate but we've had to drop her lessons. She misses it but seems to like the idea of kickboxing for exercise so I was wondering what the best basic-ish kickbox workout for a child would be? I mostly do your step & strength stuff but have a few...

    Harder to maintain muscle as we age?

    Well that might be a big part of your problem right there. Are you working the same muscle groups two days in a row? Even if you're doing a split routine, you need to have a rest day for your muscles to recoup since muscles that aren't being directly targeted are still assisting the ones that...

    Weights BPM?

    Hi everyone! I'm about to register for my ACE Personal Trainer certification and I'm pretty excited about it. I'd like to start collecting a few CDs as I plan to mainly go to peoples homes and workout with them there. I know my step bpms inside & out but I'm trying to figure out about what bpm...

    Username Question

    I don't see a 'contact administrator' link anywhere (maybe I'm just missing it) so I'll just ask here. Is it possible to have all the letters in my username changed to lowercase? Just decided I like how it looks better. Thanks!

    Sound Option Question

    I really love my Low Impact Circuit & BodyMax 2 DVDs but I was wondering if I might possibly have glitchy copies. When I choose 'normal mix' for a balanced voice/music ratio, it sounds pretty much the same as the 'music louder' mix. Are they just that way?

    Forums Logo Question

    I'm embarrassed to say I can't figure this out myself but...what workout is the first picture of Cathe in the forums logo from? It's the shot with her in a purple top, sitting on a high step and doing (looks like) tricep work with a weight plate. Thanks!

    best high step workout?

    So between High Step Training and High Step Challenge, which one of the cardio sections is more like step aerobics?

    What about Circuit Max on the new software?

    Yes, I actually keep the whole xpress series and Circuit Max on VHS to make custom workouts...even though I own the xpress series on DVD too! I have to use my old fashioned workout blender (double VCR) to make those mixes. I've pieced together some really fantastic two-day-splits and...

    Protein question

    I used to eat a can of tuna (packed in water of course) after each workout, whether it was cardio and/or weights since both require muscles to work hard. My body really seemed to take advantage of the protein blast during muscle healing. Never tried the shake thing, maybe I will one day.

    What about Circuit Max on the new software?

    LOL...actually, that makes at least three of us very disappointed if Circuit Max never comes out as a chaptered DVD ;( SNM, thanks for your reply about the new software. Too bad I won't be able to take advantage of it for a long time to come. It's a very clever idea and I understand it'll...

    What about Circuit Max on the new software?

    Okay so...since Circuit Max was never chaptered at all (despite the fact it would've been a perfect candidate for chaptering), will each sections be available for download separately or will it still be all lumped together like a straight plug & play the way the DVD is? Actually though, I'd...

    Please help us name our son!

    Hey everybody! My husband & I can't quite settle on a name for our son (due on 23 January) so I posted this naming poll over at babycenter.com: http://click.babycenter.com/b/?le=7UgL&cn=emailafriend&en=20061120&ce=0&t=0 I actually don't even know if you have to be registered and signed-in...

    Traditional curl vs. Hammer curl

    By the way, whenever I do traditional curls (in palm up position) I definitely prefer using a barbell to dumbbells. Don't know why but it's so much more comfortable and natural to me, and I can even use more weight than my dumbbells would be that way.

    Traditional curl vs. Hammer curl

    Hi! Not Cathe but.....I find that hammers are less stressful on my forearms & wrists (using 15 pound handweights anyway), making it more comfortable in general. But I think my favourite bicep curl is when you start off in hammer and rotate to traditional near the top, getting a little variety in...

    Christi's New Batch

    So does anyone else think the way Christi Taylor is putting out her new batch of workouts is completely asinine?! They're only available straight off the computer (not downloadable, you have to watch it from the monitor unless you hook your computer up to your tele) and you pay by subscription...

    Dry/sensitive skincare line

    Hi! My daughter & I have dry/sensitive skin issues too (she actually has eczema to boot) and we've found that Eucerin is the very best thing for us! It works like nothing else I've ever tried, It's not too greasy and it doesn't sting a lot like many of the products we've used. It's a little...

    New workout premixes concern....

    Actually, the CrossTrain Xpress DVDs are chaptered reasonably well...which were filmed and produced at exactly the same time as CircuitMax. I agree though that it wouldn't do much good to hold my breath on that wish.
