I just finished my first 2 weeks of freestyle. I am getting great results in my hips and thighs. But, I am amazed at the slimming of my arms. I am only doing PUB (Up only) and HC high step challenge for my uppper body (doing each once a week). Lisa

Whenever my shins hurt, I know it is time to get new/better shoes. It helps for me. Lisa

just edited my original post You decrease the amount of weight you lift for legs by 25% (not 75%) I was doing squats with a 28lb barbell...now I use a 23lb barbell. Lisa

I just started freestyle training... I was wondering if Jessica used freestyle to get thinner so fast. I will try to summarize briefly what I have read (I have not yet ordered the book). Someone in the late 1990's realized that women dancers work their legs every day, stay lean and are not...

RE: I bought one in May I have never used a reformer but I do not believe it is supposed to replace it. It is a home version of a "pilates tower". I have seen some towers for $1000 that do basically the same thing as the supreme pilates machine. There appear to be some similar exercises for...

I bought one in May I had exactly $240 of birthday money left so I decided to splurge on the supreme pilates machine and the 7 workouts. I am not sure I would have ordered it otherwise. I love it! I don't have much experience with pilates. Tried it a few years ago and didn't last (was out...

Are these are the ones by gaiam? I see them at www.gaiam.com Lisa

I used to have a combo of the mats from costco and some from wondermat.com. They were both 5/8" thick. I decided to try the one inch thick mats from wondermat.com a few months ago. They are fabulous. They stay together better than the 5/8 (especially when you just need a few tiles) Much...

Before you order, check out wondermats.com. They sell one inch thick mats that are superior to the 5/8 inch thick mats I had tried. The thicker mats are so much more absorbant. They were a little slippery at first. After 2 weeks of use that improved. I don't think you would need anything...

Here's a website Here is the website on the procedure. It has an area to find a local dr trained in the procedure. http://www.evlt.com/

Hi everyone! I just had the endovenous laser treatment for chronic venous insufficency of my left saphenous vein. The pooling of blood in my calves is gone!!! Luckily, a doctor here in Austin was one of the pioneers of this procedure. I strongly encourage everyone who has variocose veins to...

I tried them for the first time last weekend I had given up getting this scum off my cabinets in the kitchen. These worked like magic! I wish they lasted longer...but oh well. I have stocked up now. Lisa

check out cardiocoach.com I have a few spinervals. They were my favorite until I tried cardiocoach.com. Vol 4 is the hardest. Vol 3 is also pretty challenging. Cardiocoach puts out audio cd interval workouts that can be used on any cardio machine. The music in cardio coach is much better...

I know that SNM has stated in the past that they have no plans to release How to Get in Shape for your Wedding on DVD. (to much dissapointment). I am not sure about the others. Lisa

I remember when this workout first came out there were quite a few posts about back soreness from the workout. I also used to get very sore from the workout. Now, I do Cathe's warm up and then press pause and do a few back stretching exercises. Since I made this change, no soreness from the...

Hi! Not Cathe but thought I could help a little! It may be helpful if you can post your exercise experience? Are you familiar with step? Lifted weights in the past? I started exercising again when my baby was about 6 months old. I started with Pure Strength and rhythmic step and walking...

Rose, You just gave me a great idea on how to use the gymstyle hardcore workouts. I will follow your 6 day rotation and think it will work really well with the new workouts! Lisa

Please check out zcoil shoes. I love them! I got them for my heel pain and lower back pain. So far I have done the following workouts with them: Imax2,High step training advanced, step blast, supersets, Leg and glutes, KPC, stabilty ball portion of PLB, P90x, slim series, TLP core...

Well, I am a huge Spinerval fan (suffer-o-rama and uphillgrind). Love them. I also have Jay's precision workout. I like it but always reach for my spinerval. Someone posted recently that she gets on her bike during the cardio segments of boot camp. I think that is a brillian idea. I have...
