Question (probably for Kikster?) When you pyramid back down, are you going to start the mesocycle at the beginning? I'm going to do a big ol' pyramid (I just started it--I'm in Meso 1 Week 3), and my rotation will look like this: M1-M2-M2-M3-M3-M2-M1 Yep, it's pretty much my next year...

I'm a vet tech, and there are several reasons this may happen. First off, I would recommend taking her in for an exam and urinalyisis to rule out any medical conditions (like a urinary tract infection, idiopathic cystitis, renal problems, etc.). You may want to experiment with different...

When I had an insane schedule working 12-14 hours, I would still try to get in 20-40 minutes of working out on most days. It usually energized me to do so. I also made a point to work out before work, because no way, no how would I come home and work out. I would also avoid trying to play...

The Burn and Push Circuits are between 30-40 minutes, and the Lean Circuits are 40-45 minutes. Ab Burner is about 10 minutes and Extreme Abs is 17 minutes. Burn Intervals is about 45 minutes and alternates between high-intensity aerobics (some plyometric) and light-weight muscle endurance (I...

Thanks for this! I have been wondering how to combine Chalean Extreme with Insanity, and this gives me a pretty good idea (just do Chalean Extreme on the STS days).

Yes, my dog is a great running buddy! I will take him on runs up to about 1 hour (that seems to be his limit right now). I would like to do a K9 5K race with him some day.

I would recommend a pit bull. They have been recommended before as being great running partners. They are actually wonderful family dogs, but of course, you would probably want to get a puppy because there is usually a reason that adults have to be rescued, and that may not be good with kids...

Wow, what an azzhat. Some people have no tact whatsoever.

I wish you a most happy (and healthy) birthday, Cathe!

Were you wearing a heart rate monitor? Honestly, 200 calories sounds low for Body Max, even for a small person. 300 calories for about 30 minutes of running sounds about right. However, sometimes I burn a lot of calories when I don't necessarily feel like I'm exerting myself super hard...

I am in a similar situation, so what I am working on is how I respond to the stressors. I try to stop and assess my emotional state, and decide whether it really needs my attention or if it is something I can just let go. One of the ways I cope is to assure that I have down time every...

Must...resist...ordering...Insanity... Powerless...OH NOOOOOO! *sigh* I ordered it. Thank you all you enablers!

I think it is very healthy that you listened to your body and gave it a break. Like you said, you came back stronger than before! We really do need at least 1 DOR each week.

I can't stand using the barbell and changing it so much. I wear a weighted vest and then just change the dumbells.
