I haven't posted in ages -- haven't lurked in ages until this last week. At any rate, this subject is bringing me back because this is a recent problem for me and I want to know everything I can get my hands on. Clearly, it's a controversial subject, but I wanted to give a pointer to this...

Ok...... I liked the workout. It has two workouts -- one is 20 minutes and they claim more of a relaxing/stretching, the second is 25 minutes and more of a workout. I feel like I don't have a whole lot of experience with yoga dvds, so I'm not sure how to comment, but here goes..... I did...

I did just get that Elle yoga dvd from Mary, but haven't had a chance to try it yet..... maybe tomorrow.

I've been on two RTs. Cathe definitely figures you're going to go to all of the classes, so does take it a bit easy on you. If you're used to doing her workouts, you'll do fine (but may be a bit sore! ;)). Given the rare opportunity for live classes with Cathe (if you don't live near her...

I'm also one who just sort of looks big without definition, but one thing I found that helped my shoulders look a bit more defined is working on my upper back muscles and having better posture! Honestly, the thing that helped the most was not weights, but doing things like Ellen Barrett...

Good morning, and happy Monday, I guess. It's been really hard to keep track of what day it is lately!! Hottie, sorry you had a miserable day yesterday! Yes, I'm afraid of meso 3, jumping right in anyway, but not plyo legs.... I pull them out occasionally and in fact, almost did one day...

Good morning, sleepyheads! I did not sleep well last night! Ug, but, when I did finally get up (finally at 5:30 or whatever it was), I was up for working out. I did Bob's Strength. It didn't seem as tough last time -- not sure if I went lighter on the weights or what. My hammies...

Oh Chris, that's right.... thanks for the reminder on the forum issue. I know I have your email and hottie's, but not sure I have Kathy's or Joanne's. Maybe you could start a group email that morning? I'll be driving down to my mom's on the 13th, and then busy with her discharge / getting...

P.S. Hottie, I want to try that chai..... oh, and I meant to tell you that I like that dress! Which reminds me that, like Chris, I think you are way more girly than I am, too! I never wear dresses unless it's super hot and I can wear them with tevas or something..... and, I never go...

Good morning, Kathy, and all! Enjoy those leg presses!! Our hills are basically hay in the summer -- that's California, but it must be strange for you! I loved going to Madison in the summer and seeing how green it is. I have the 5k in a little while, so I'm just hydrating...

Hottie! I could be your mother!!! Where do you get the Zhena tea?

So much to comment on, again!! Good deal at Aeropostale, Joanne. I know what you mean about filming yourself working out..... in Fitnessista's case, I can kind of see it because she is a trainer, so maybe it helps her get business? And, I'm guessing it's mostly coaches trying to sell...

You probably should just let yourself heal! I ended up going to a chiropractor and that (I think) drastically shortened my recovery time. I know it sucks to not work out, but maybe you should just concentrate on your lower body for a while.

I have absolutely no medical training and no fitness training (other than Cathe, ha, ha!), but I just want to jump in and say you might want to check out Jill Miller's Shoulder Shape Up. I love it! Makes my upper body feel really worked in a gentle and very different way. I used it when...

Fit_mommy, we are similar. I did a rotation of meso 1 where I subbed in tonique for the legs/cardio work -- I loved that rotation! I would probably do the same if I went on with meso 2/3, though I have to say, I absolutely loved the trisets in meso 2. I used lighter weights.
