    aging

    Will be 42 this year (yikes) the biggest thing I notice is my body's inconsistency in SPITE of MY consistency with exercise and diet. Some days/weeks I feel so tired for no apparent reason and pms takes me a good week to recover from. Some weeks I gain a ton of fluid weight and others I can eat...

    Weight gain in menopause

    I say WOW too - I am 41 and am realizing I have to stick to a strict diet as well to stay lean. Do you happen to know how many calories this plan is? What do you consider a cheat meal? I know exactly what you mean about keeping things simple - as soon as I eat anything rich or calorie dense -...

    Slimming question

    This and what Islandrose wrote.... I have totally backed off heavy weights because of the bulk issue. However I am shorter with a solid frame so bulky muscles are not a look I like on myself anymore. I have been able to keep muscle tone and definition without heavy weights (still doing...

    3-5 days to tone legs & de-bloat???

    Totally agree here - I find heavy weights cause swelling and puffiness in the legs - Barre segments and lighter weights - high reps...stop eating after 6 or 7 at night :D

    Starting STS next week - looking for advice

    I remember tacking on a short Hiit workout after the weights. On days that were not weight workouts - I would do a mixture of steady-state and Hiit - but I would keep your cardio to under 45 minutes. STS does make you tired more because you are really building muscle. I noticed that I did...

    Question for those who do TA

    Glad to see this thread - I just started doing TA a couple of weeks ago - the Mat workout and Perfect Design 2 and 3. I have laughed at her workouts for a while - until I did them- now the laugh is on me.... surprisingly hard! Who would have thought swinging your arms around and using 3 lbs...

    WHERE ARE THE SLIDE & GLIDE DISKS?

    I hear you! I tried to order these as a Christmas present - and was told they no longer sell them? I had to order from Mindy Myrlea - or Amazon (expensive!) It seems a little strange to me...especially since so many workouts use the discs. :confused: Good luck...I hope they decide to sell...

    Thank you, Cathe, for Lean Legs & Abs

    I REALLY like these workouts and the whole series for that matter. I have shorter and thicker legs and this series has definitely helped me streamline the thigh area. My pants and jeans are fitting more loosely each day. I am seriously considering staying with these types of lower body workouts...

    Party Rockin Step 1 and 2

    Another love for these two - actually really liking all of the workouts! They have lots of fun-factor intermingled with hard-core work (X10) and no-dread factor lower body! Just what I need right now. I am actually seeing some good slimming effects on the lower body - short legs so maybe...

    So great to have you back... my thoughts have been with you and your family. I have been checking the forums daily to see reviews - can't wait for mine to come here in Canada. Thank you for your inspiration everyday! I do have a question about the leg workouts as a shorter person with thicker...

    Hardest legs DVD?

    First - STS Meso 2 legs - if you go heavy enough...I am sore for at least 5 days with this workout. Next is Butts and Guts - somehow that one is just one tough workout - and again sore for at least 3-5 days. GS Legs would be a close third - but again you need to go heavy to make the most of...

    Daily Deal: Bootcamp and ME - premixes?

    Has anyone done the bonus combo premix on this workout (it is total body combining parts from both workouts) I am considering getting this one...I look on the workout manager but the individual chapters for the premix are not listed. Thanks for any help you can give!
