    Question for the runners among us...

    Help! I need a blender for Shakes

    I use a hand-held blender stick instead of an actual blender. It crushes ice really well and you can use in any glass or container, as long as you don't overfill it. I have the smartstick by cuisinart and I love it!!! It is also great for making things like puree vegetable soup because you...

    I think I'm giving up on jeans.

    Dilema: Long... very long

    I'm sorry to hear about all your troubles. Would you be completely opposed to moving in with your fiance before the wedding? Maybe sleep in different rooms? It seems to me as though moving out would solve a lot of the problems that you have to deal with right now. Your parents may criticize...

    Does anyone else find ab ripper x surprisingly easy?

    Hi everyone, I got p90x recently and decided to do a test run of all the workouts before starting the full rotation. I tried ab ripper x last night and to tell you the truth I wasn't all that impressed. I guess I expected it to be a lot more extreme... Did anyone else find this?

    what do u think???

    Sharona, You should try looking at other companies which sell high steps to see if you can get a better price on the shipping. I ordered mine from collagevideo.com, and it comes with the high step circuit dvd. You should also check out amazon, target.com, or just try googling "high...

    I am going to order p90x and I wanted to get a bit of advice from those of you who have already done it. Is the plyo mat worth getting?

    Cardio High Step Mix from all High Step Workouts

    That sounds fantastic!!!! A new cardio-only high step workout would also be great!!!! It would change things up a bit from doing cardio on the regular step. I would definitely buy these workouts!! Ady

    Is PUB considered an endurance workout?

    I just wanted to get other people's opinions on whether PUB would be considered an endurance workout due to the high number of repetinions performed (in total) for each excercise. Since there isn't much rest between sets I feel as though each body part is sort of like one giant endurance set...

    Pilates - which is the best?

    I really like Mari Winsor's Maximum Burn Advanced, which they sell on Collage. It is a nice follow up to her older videos with a slightly faster pace and some more challenging excercises. Take care, Ady
