    ? for those who've had success with lifting "heavy"

    Hi Cheryl, Thanks for the encouragement! It feels great to be on a "losing streak" again. I do love the 2 upper body PH that I have, just don't have the lower one, and I don't have S&H yet. FIRMS: I have Standing Legs and Tough Tape (also my favorites) and TT2, Firm Strength, Firm Cardio...

    ? for those who've had success with lifting "heavy"

    Cheryl, Thank you SO much!! I was so excited to see your reply so soon. I don't have power hour or Cardio Kicks yet. Do you recommend them above the rest for maximum inch loss? I'm a typical pear, so really want to shrink the bottom half and tone the upper half. I already have the CTX DVD...

    ? for those who've had success with lifting "heavy"

    Cheryl, Can you please tell me what videos you've been using??? You're results sound wonderful, and I want the same!! Do you have a set rotation? I've been thinking about emphasizing the weight training more, but realize I may need more videos to do so. I would love some suggestions...

    Anyone using eDiets?

    Thanks Athene - I'll have to check out that book. Covert Bailey seems to be respected. And thanks for the reminders about clean eating. I KNOW what I should eat, I just don't always do it! ;-) Jen

    Anyone using eDiets?

    Hi Christine, Thanks so much for your reply - it was very encouraging!! I want to lose about 20 lbs, so it's good to know it can be done. I'd be perfectly happy to have it off by the end of the year - I'm not in a rush, as long as it's consistently coming off. I'm glad to hear you weren't...

    Anyone using eDiets?

    Hi Janice, Thanks for your reply and insight. I do know about nutrition, but lately I've felt like I just need new ideas and to not have to think about it so much. I'm so busy, it would be great to just have a plan laid out for me. I found in the past that I did much better when I made up...

    Exercise in the heat

    RE: Ha, Jeanne! Thanks to everyone for their great suggestions!!! I've been using several. Debbie & Jeanne - You're welcome to joke about atmosphere - you should see my basement!:-wow:-wow We're not just talking lack of decor, we're talking uneven concrete floor that gets damp in spots when...

    Exercise in the heat

    Jeanne, I also try to work out early when I can - sometimes I have to work too early and can't get up any earlier. I have the treadmill in the basement, and it is somewhat cooler down there, but the ceiling is rather low to do anything else and it's all concrete - not much in the way of...

    Exercise in the heat

    Hi Annette, Thanks so much for your quick reply and the good reminders. It is frustrating, but I know I don't want to hurt myself. That was interesting info about how the humidity affects your ability to cool off - I never fully understood that before. The idea about a washcloth submerged in...

    Exercise in the heat

    Hi everyone, I was wondering what everyone does about exercising in this terrible heat. I don't have an A/C, just lots of window fans, and it seems like for the past two weeks I can barely get through 20 min. of any video without losing steam because I'm overheated. Is this anyone else's...

    CTX series

    Hi Annette, May I ask why you suggested specifically Interval Max, Cardio Kicks, and MIS and/or S&H in addition to CTX? I'm also interested in getting leaner and just got CTX, but don't have the others you mentioned. The only others I have are Step Heat, Wedding, and the 2 Pure Strength...

    Weight loss/strength training confusion

    Thanks PR - it's good to hear that you've been able to do both at the same time. Interesting thought about adding intensity to your cardio by adding heavier weights. That makes sense. I appreciate your taking the time to answer. If anyone else has anything to add, I'd love to hear it. I'm...

    Just Curious......

    Jillybean - those are inspiring results!! Two sizes in two months! May I ask whether you did the CTX as is, one aerobic segment and one body part per day, or did you do something different? I would LOVE to have the same results. Thanks.

    Weight loss/strength training confusion

    Hi to the educated crowd: I would like to lose about 15 lbs. and tone up my "pear" section, and I'm a little confused about whether I should be concentrating more on aerobics or strength training. I know muscle burns more calories than fat, so it's good to add muscle. But I've also heard that...
