Sardines are very good for you. They contain healthy fats and calcium, provided you mash the entire can and do not remove the bones, and protein. It is traditional in the UK to mash the can of sardines and then spread it upon 2 slices of lightly buttered toast, then grill the slices for a...

I have been on Celexa at two separate times, and never experienced any weight gain at all. I'm the reverse: I have to remind myself that my body needs feeding. Neither have I found that SSRI's give me cravings for carbs. PMDD did though! Celexa definitely helped with my PMDD, so you are on...

GS legs floorwork. Deadlifts with heaviest bar you can manage before form is affected. Running and race walking. I do all these and have very well defined ham strings. No more development needed, thanks! Clare

Leg warmers...how ghastly. Madonna and her renewed disco fever aka Confessions on a Dance Floor are t oblame! Resist people, resist!!! Clare

I don't think you can get bored with this one. The choreo is interesting, the music is great and you have to be mentally switched on for the blasts, you can't tune out during those or you will fall over! I get cathe choreo within 2 tries. And I am no dancer. Practice makes perfect. You can...

LOw Max and KPC, no choice about it! These are the most innovative of the workouts in that list. After all, if you have the GS w/os then you don't need PS. If you have any total body endurance w/os, then you can leave MM for a while. If you have Imax 1 or 2, then 3 can wait. KPC is...

Yoghurt, banana or bowl of strawbs, then nice cup of milky hot choc to settle you into sleep. Clare

The treadmill is an excellent tool. I only wish I had one of my own. I have been doing treadmill workouts, with speed walking, sinc ethe Summer. I have extrememly well defined legs, a more pleasant looseness and flexibility in the hips, and better cardiovascular efficiency. I start each...

You are right. You don't need them. Declutter and recycle the lot poste haste! Clare

Janice: I am notmgoing to tell you what to do. I cannot. You have to figure this out for yourself. Every one of us would react differently and according to a different set of values and priorities. Only you know what yours are, and what the extent of your stress is and your ability to...

nancy: they look good on you. keep them. But I agree, I would never wear them with flats. At least a 2 " heel required. it will lengthen your legs to desired effect. Clare

Please don't work out with a fever. The fever is telling you that your body is too busy fighting infection to be able to give you the energy for working out. You will make yourself feel worse. Make sure you spend at least 24 hours without fever before re-attempting cardio. Even better...

I find myself getting very pleasantly tired also during S&H weeks. Sore too at the beginning and whenever I make a jump up in weights. Like a previous poster, I prefer to do Gym Style legs or LL for the lower body section. I do not need more muscle building on my legs, but I do need more...

Consider various criteria for evaluating these workouts and their value to you in addition to how hard they work your muscle groups. Definitely, use the premixes to change things up, this will add intensity. But remember also that not every workout has to be a killer one. Do you enjoy...

Insert breaks between the front, side and rear delt raises. Simple. Clare

Get this DVD for Step Blast alone. A classic Cathe step workout. I must be in a total minority because I dislike SJP. It is "bitty". She does a little bit of step, but each routine is real short and she throws them all away so it feels like you are learning a routine for no reason at all...

Shoulders: front raises and side raises I believe Cathe moves between 8 pounders and fives. Overhead presses she uses 15 pounders for only 2 sets for some reason. Chest: Cathe starts with 25 pounders, then drops to 20's. By the time she gets to the inclines she has dropped to 15...

At the very end with the last military presses you can indeed do one arm at a time. What matters is what allows you to get through somodify as you need to. With the GS upper body workouts, you can do them one day after another but be careful of the overlap in muscle useage particularly...

Hi Bunbun: When I go for max speed, I have the incline on zero or 1. When I am doing intervals, I put the incline on 15, the max the treadmills at a local fitness centre offer. I will then drop the speed to between 4 and 4.2 mph. It is tough. It feels like the hiking I have done in the...
