Typically, if you pump, you will continue producing that milk each night and will be uncomfortable. I've been told that if you are engorged you can put raw cabbage leaves in your bra to decrease the milk supply a bit. Don't leave them in too long, just long enough to get a little relief...

RE: I started with Step Jam! I hadn't done step in many years and didn't have too much trouble catching on. I think Cathe spends a good amount of time introducing/teaching each section, I probably only had to pause/rewind once in the second section. The wedding video is a great one too. HTH...

Thanks so much, Cathe! The wrist is about 50 % better today. I think resting it will help a lot. No swelling at this point. I really appreciate the wrist/forearm suggestions! I'll do them!! I'm anxious to get back to some challenging weight, but understand it's not worth it if I end up...

I'm experiencing some pretty bad wrist pain. I've been increasing the weights I'm using on PS and assume that's why. Is there anything I should or shouldn't do for this? Today (for SLA) I had my husband place the barbell on my shoulders for me and do most of the lifting and lowering of heavy...

Hi Chrissy! I'm a Chris, too . When I started MIS in January, I used NO weights for the leg work an empty barbell (15 lb), and 3 and 5 pound weights. I was pretty wiped out by the time I was done but found that I was able to add weight pretty quickly. This was doing MIS 2 or maybe 3 times a...

Yes, Rhonda could be a great model... I've always thought she resembled Cindy Crawford...is it just me? Does she look like her in person? I think she looks great too...do tell on those abs, phew ! Chris

while I was doing the weight training section of the "Wedding Video" last night. My 6 year old son decided to watch me, then wanted to join in. Well, he got some 3 lb. weights and was working out with me! I thought it was adorable. He even said, "now, I'll have to take a day off, right Mom?"...

Thanks for your prompt response! I'll be looking forward to it Chris (too )

I know y'all have A LOT going on with the 8 new videos, but I just have to ask. I'd love to buy the series, but would love it even more if it were on DVD . Just had to ask Chris BTW, Happy Mother's Day to Cathe and all the other moms on these boards!

Some of my tapes do this, I think.... Can you see the tape if you hit play then try fast forwarding? Sometimes when I hit play, all I get is blue screen, then if I try to fast forward (while still on play), I can see. For mine, it was a tracking problem and my husband said for our VCR all you...

5 lbs....same as Cathe and the crew... I did just what Cathe did...which was no additional weight for leg work...couldn't believe how fatigued I got! They recommended using 3 lbs...but I couldn't let myself do that..tee hee. I did have to quit a bit early on push up and some tricep work. It...

WOW...after doing MIS since January, I bought the wedding video more for lending out than for myself. BUT!!! I must say that after skeptically trying the weight section....WHEW! I thought I'd breeze thru it with 5 lb weights. After using a 20 - 25 lb barbell...no problem...right? WRONG...

I knew it !! My husband noticed the rubber band too. I was sure that it was to remind you which side was "right"...he didn't believe me! Thanks for settling a fun little dispute we've been having ! Chris

ummmm...I know this is total newbie question.... But what is/are pilates?? How do you pronounce it? Also...unrelated question...I've seen posts mentioning "plyo" and don't know what the is either?? Silly but true :) Chris

Thanks and YIPEE...we have it too!!! NT nt
