    Runners - need opinion on PF

    I've been suffering through my first case of PF that started after I spent a day on the beach walking barefoot in the sand. The next day I couldn't even walk-- my left foot hurt so bad. I was running and doing Insanity and seeing fabulous results and I was so frustrated I had to stop. It...

    to fellow vegans

    Well, I know Cathe isn't a vegan, as she writes about eating turkey burgers and such, and I'm not referring to people who are offended by the mistreatment of animals in my post, I'm referring to vegans, and let's face it, they are a minority in the general population.

    to fellow vegans

    Well, I'm sorry you all feel this way and I admire your convictions, but Cathe isn't a vegan, nor does she have a large following of such. She wants her name out and this is money in the bank for her, so she probably sees it as a win-win situation. Maybe this question should be brought to her...

    Any opinion on Jillian Michaels 30 day shred?

    The workouts themselves are pretty good, and it's a great vid to bring while traveling, but I can't stand Jillian so I never do it. I never watched BL so I don't know much about her, but I just don't click with her.

    speaking of Jari Love....

    I find Jari's workouts to be very tedious, and I'm always watching the clock, but they give me great results. I've never been more cut than after doing a Jari rotation, but like other hi-rep workouts, they get old quickly. Has anyone ever counted how many reps Cathe does in Power Hour? I...

    A rare (for me) non-Cathe post

    I think the program is called Intensity. I'm so ordering it. It reminds me of the puke-in-the-bucket floor cardio in Barry's 5 Day Academy Bootcamp series, and the non-weighted strength training looks very much like Barry's Total Body Academy workout. This series should get me prepped for...

    New Ryka Studio Mid Flex shoes

    Holy Moly! I ordered the shoes last night @ 7pm from Zappos. They were delivered to my door just now, in less than 24 hours! And I didn't even pay for shipping! Gotta love that store. BTW, they fit great! Can't wait to kickbox with them tomorrow.:D

    New Ryka Studio Mid Flex shoes

    Thanks for the info on the Intensity XT3 Kathy. I needed new shoes and these looked appealing. You're review pushed me over the edge!:D BTW, I bought them in, drumroll please.... black! I'm getting tired of the same ole white, and variations thereof. If I like them a lot I'll probably end...

    Kenpo X..perfect anti-Cathe KB workout!

    Tony does do the best warm up in Kenpo X. He thoroughly works on all the muscles that are needed for kickboxing, and I find myself being able to kick high from the start. Sometimes my back will bother me after a kickboxing workout but it never does after Kenpo X. It can take a little...

    STS Check In Disc 7....

    I counted 109 pushups on my toes today, and I didn't even do all the pushups as I skipped the staggered pushups and the 21's. Still, I was happy with that accomplishment. Those Elmo pushups were the biggest challenge!:eek: My elbow is pretty sore (don't know what from) so I've been going...

    STS CHECK IN ....DISC 6

    You'll probably see a heel elevated squat in week 3 or 4.

    STS CHECK IN ....DISC 6

    I think I was doing my workout the same time as Cathe today, so I'm happy we were suffering together. Cathe please, as others have mentioned, include a tutorial on the sit and stands. Everyone seems to have problems with them. I couldn't get out of the chair during the first round with the...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 5...

    I was happy I had time this morning to do all of disc 5 because I had to cut disc 4 short--although I intend to finish what I didn't do of that disc later this week. I'm noticing some strength gains already, esp. in my triceps. I could do all the straight leg tricep pushups and those...
