Hi Janice, MIS can be a strength workout if you use weights heavy enough to completely fatigue the muscle. When using it for strength purposes, I do the legs with a 60#bb and the upper body varying weights from 30#-45#bb depending on the body part, this is a struggle for me and fatigues each...

So wait?.................... Does this mean I don't get to share my Imax 2 experience with you? :) :) :) Glad you're looking at "greener grass!" Which, coincidently must be difficult there in the desert!? :) Donna Fitness~ it's a journey, not a race!

WOW! Looks like we've all come a long way! When you look back on how "it was" isn't it amazing that more damage wasn't done? Well, in my case, hitting 375lbs WAS pretty damaging! But it was a wonder I didn't give myself a heart attack with my high fat daily diet. That was just 1 really bad day...

Hi Bobbi, I knew you hadn't been around lately and I've been thinking about you as I remembered your birthday was coming up on the 18th (same day as my dad's). Knowing how much you love your active lifestyle (especially running) I know this must be horrible for you, and since we can't change...

Aquajock................... You crack me up! :) But thank you for clarifying, I KNEW neither of you were from THIS planet! :) Donna p.s. And jilly, I'm beginning to wonder about you and your planet of origin! :) Fitness~ it's a journey, not a race!

Disclaimer: For all the "clean eating" enthusiasts, I promise this is not a glorification of poor eating, nor am I EVER tempted to eat this way again. This is merely for the purpose of sharing "how far we've come" for those of us "newer" to healthy eating! :) Seeing a post from Kaz (who is...

Hi Kaz................ Thanks for your "words of wisdom!" :) I was just thinking that your time is really coming quickly! You should be delivering your little bundle in about a month? Hope all is going well with your pregnancy, and I'll be looking for the, "He's/She's Here" post sometime next...

It's been confirmed!........... Aquajock is from the same planet as Cathe! Hi/lo from MIC + 10-10-10 or "any 3 intervals from Imax!" (oh yeah, I'll jump right on that one!) :) Donna Fitness~ it's a journey, not a race! p.s. okay wait~ that's known as sarcasm on our planet A-jock! :)

Yeah, I'm with Connie! I use a 6" step and NEVER considered anything higher! Heck, I'm still just ducking the paramedics at 6", at 8" I'd be on life support! Donna Fitness~ it's a journey, not a race!

Hi Sherry, I'm so sorry to hear this, and of course you and your family will be in my daily prayers. There have been so many advancements in Cancer treatments that I hope you keep a positive thought about whatever treatment lies ahead. Please always feel like you can come here and share...

IS OFF THE CHAIN!!!! :) :) :) Honeybunch, There are no words to describe how delicious that chili was! I had to force myself not to have 3rds! I'm trying hard to convince myself not to have it inside an omelet for breakfast this morning, because I plan to revisit it tonight for dinner! (hubby...

Candy................ I hope you really like it! :) I loved it the 1st time I popped it in the VCR, and the "Get Ripped Advanced" was my intro to Billy! He wore me out in the same way as Cathe, but also kept me pumped up to get through it in the same way as Cathe! His pace can be quick for...

jillybean................. YES! I KNEW I wasn't the only one to figure out Cathe wasn't of this planet! :) I wasn't going to mention it, but I actually did (attempted) MIC hi/lo last night. Somehow I "thought" I had all this energy and was looking for a short cardio to do just prior to dinner...

Hi Cookiebaby, Anytime is a bad time to be out of work, but the holidays has to be a little tougher. I certainly will say an extra prayer for you and your hubby. I hope something comes through for you guys (job wise) soon. Keep the faith! :) Donna Fitness~ it's a journey, not a race!

Yeah, Cathe's sales would go through the roof! :) But then again, a scarier thought..... suppose Oprah wanted Cathe as her personal trainer and offered her so much money to do it we lost her to Oprah!? "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Donna Fitness~ it's a...

If any of you guys do check it out as an option for yourself, please make sure to also check on what may be different for women who weight train. I've read articles in the past about women who've had problems with the implants shifting because of their placement in relation to their chest...

And I thought I had an active imagination! :) Imax #13 huh? I don't EVEN want to think about it! With my luck it would have tuck jumps that spin in the air! :) Donna Fitness~ it's a journey, not a race!

I too work out straight through it. I just use "extra" protection on days 1 and 2, and of course jump right in the shower after my workout so it doesn't phase me one way or the other. It's more of a mental drag than a physical one! Donna Fitness~ it's a journey, not a race!

Runathon............... I'll defer the critique of Billy's videos to Honeybunch, as I only own the "Get Ripped Advanced" videos. But as far as count goes, I do a mental count along with him, so once I know he just did 3 sets of 8 on one side, when we switch sides, I'll stop at 3 sets and...

Babs......................... You crack me up! :) But I really just get so much more from seeing the pics of those right here who are making changes doing "real" do-able for us all things to achieve their results! I'm hoping that others like Aquajock, Deb H., HoneyBunch, Marlene (Ms. tank top...
