I know exactly the feeling you're talking about, happens to me every 6-12 months if I'm working out really regularly. It's like I go from being totally tomboy workout queen to just having no interest and not being able to get psyched up for even my fave workouts. It could be mental or physical...

My guess is that most charts cut off at 60 because the idea is for you to establish target zones and heart rate with your doctor. That way it's tailored to you own level of fitness at an age when most people are sorely lacking. Certainly no doctor worth their salt will tell a healthy person to...

I am working out lighter, I'm only on about day 2 now, but once I get over the hump I will do normal workouts. My friend said the same thing, that the first few days your body is adjusting and beginning to shift things around, so you have a little less energy. Although I feel pretty good. Woke...

Well, this is my second day with no food, just the lemonade drink and the laxative tea at night and first thing in the a.m. I feel great. I have lots of energy, I'm not really hungry at all. I crave foods sometimes, but no real stomach hunger. I'm shooting for the full 10 days Burroughs suggests...

Ok, last night I began my first fasting program ever. A friend of mine does this every 6 months or so and the doc who wrote some of my favorite nutrition books swears by this. I picked up The Master Cleanser by Stanley Burroughs and started this lemonade fast. Even got the laxative tea. I think...

Obviously, go EASY with those backbends. That can really hurt you if you do too much too soon, so just go slow with that move. Seems like every Kundalini tape is a little different and I'm not familiar with that one. But I have a feeling if you break it up in order, in the sequence it's in on...

I'm no Kundalini expert by a long shot, but I did discover the magic in it about a year ago. My first tape was by Gurutej Kaur and was called Chakra Yoga. That was just about an hour including the meditation at the end and I never felt anything like it. Then I got Gurmukh's Kundalini Yoga tape...

RE: You know what?? Wow, no one's called me a younger gal for a while. That's cool. I believe in fate too. I met someone else in a very happenstance way and there must be a reason. We fell for each other hard just right away. Anyway, I'll keep the trip in mind. I'll bet it will be a blast...

RE: I was wondering, too! You guys are THE most amazing people. I was just reading all the posts from my wonderful friends here and I was almost in tears. I can't believe that you guys remember about my granny dying recently too. Now THAT'S a true friend, someone who listens and remembers. My...

RE: Hey again! Thank you for your kind words, they really mean a lot to me. I did miss logging on and talking to the great people on here. I won't be such a stranger from now on, I promise! Although hopefully I'll be working soon and won't have all kinds of time on my hands to be websurfing...

RE: Hey Lex! I'm flattered that you were wondering where I was! Actually, right now I'm watching my favorite hockey team, the Dallas Stars, get spanked by the St Louis Blues. Not good. But my life has been a little...uh, weird, lately and that's why I haven't been on for a while. But I really...

I haven't been on here in ages, my life's kind of gone all topsy-turvy lately, but I had such a fun workout today! I haven't done 10-10-10 in ages (been doing lots of other Cathe stuff) and I didn't remember exactly what it was like. Let me tell you, I sweat like a pig, had a smile on my face...

Very good idea, good advice. But do also keep in mind that when your body is cleaning itself out, detoxing, headaches are a very common symptom. But you have to know your body and pay attention so you know the difference between temporary discomfort as you work towards better health and...

My boyfriend and I have both implemented the fruit and juice only factors from Fit For Life. It's been over a month now and we both love it. We were cereal folks before that, but I'll never do that again. I can tell you that when you change your eating habits to accomodate food combining and...

I'll give this a shot and see if Cathe and everyone else agrees with my answer. As far as I understand, a "push/pull" method of training with weights means that you train the exact opposing muscle groups in the same workout. For example, you work chest and back on the same day. Chestwork...

This is just my opinion, but I don't think floorwork for legs can ever give you anywhere near the strength and endurance that standing weight-work can. Not to mention the added benefit of building bone when you do work that requires your body to work against a substantial amount of weight, as...

Well, you can mix CTX up in all sorts of ways, obviously, but to start I liked to put it in order to they weight training went in my usual order: chest, back, shoulders, bis, tris. I can't recall exactly which workouts they are each attached to, but that worked really well for me. I did it that...

I don't count calories at all, ever. I watch to make sure I eat a well rounded diet; fruit in the morning, carbs in the afternoon, protein for my early dinner. I go for variety so I get lots of nutrients. But I never look at a label in terms of calories, fat grams or any of that. And here I...

RE: Question for Lex Honestly, I have done intense, long workouts after my morning fresh fruit and juice and had tons of energy. It may depend on the individual and your own body's needs. But the less your body is trying to do other things, like digest complex carbs and protein, the more...

You know what? I, too, find that my sweet tooth is almost a nonissue and I never thought about it being related to my Fit for Life morning routine. Interesting, but I'll bet is does have a lot to do with it. Thanks for the idea and I'm glad you're enjoying it too.
