    6 weeks off..need advice

    thanks for all the great input!! I pretty much answered my own question when I resumed my workouts and running. Its truly unbelievable how weak and out of shape I got in a few weeks.

    6 weeks off..need advice

    I had to take a month and a half off due to some female probs and a d&c. Before all of this I was on week 4 of meso 2 and was seeing amazing results. I'm also a runner and haven't been able to do that either. Now that every thing is behind me, I'm very eager to start into sts again but have no...

    My last dance with the FIRM

    I agree the original "classic" Firms are great, especially the first 4 volumes. I've always done them in addition to running or extra cardio and have gotten great results over the years. The newer Firms are simply awful imho, and shouldn't even carry the "Firm's " name because they in no way...

    Power Hour or MIS???

    Thanks everyone for your input. Usually I do a strength workout like me or mm on saturdays after a short run, so I was going to use either one this saturday as something new. Maybe I'll try PH since its a little shorter. Jackie

    not getting desired results

    I'm so greatful for this post. It's nice to know there are others out there sharing my exact frusrations. I live in an area where lets say people aren't quite health and fitness oriented.

    Easter Dinner....

    Calorie consumption during rest times

    Allison, you're right! I find that I'm hungrier on days I don't work out...and even tend to crave junk. Nancy, I haven't heard the new thoughts on strength training, that really sucks!! So all the muscle you build DOESN'T really burn increased calories or increase your metabolism?

    Calorie consumption during rest times

    I just posted this on Cathe's forum for her input (hopefully). But I was wondering, does anyone change their eating habits on days they don't workout? I eat pretty clean, but I find I'm usually just as hungry whether I work out or not. Do you decrease your calories or food intake during rest...
