Hi all! I did Powermax and the abs from LL. I really missed my cardio. I am slowly building my endurance back. I made through Powermax and didn’t run out of gas until about 50 minutes of the workout. Yeah! My legs are not too sore – thank goodness. I did PLB yesterday so I was scared I...

Definitely the Intensity Series DVD. They have so many pre-mixes on them that you can create your own workouts. It's great. Second choice is CTX series. :-)

Hi everyone :) I didn't get a chance to check in yesterday, but I did Imax2 and today I did PLB. I survived both. Yeah! I kind of switched the order of the rotation since I had so much muscle soreness last week. I'm hoping I will be able to walk tomorrow. Last week PLB made my legs so...

Hi Ectos!! I survived Imax2 today. I thought I was gonna die after the 8th interval – you know the one with the hop squats around the board and power plyo thingies. My legs were screaming at me, but I know it’s good for me. I always feel like wonder woman when I finish an interval tape...

Hi Angie and Angela :) I hope it's okay to post here. I don't mean to sound like a dunce, but this is a check-in for ecto-body types, right? I am an ecto, too and it has taken quite some to figure out what will work for me. What kind of workouts do you two do generally? I just started the...

Hi Annette :) Have you tried the Tank Top Rotation? I did that last summer and I really started to see definition in my arms in about 2 weeks. Also I noticed I got rid of some back flab by doing CTX Kickbox cardio twice a week. Maybe it's time to change your routine. I understand that...

Hi everyone :) I just finished Bootcamp. Wow! It's very fun, but I thought I was going to die after the 4th cycle. Obviously I'm the aerobically challenged one of the group. Is this workout painful to anyone else? I am going on little sleep today so I didn't have much energy. I started...

Hi Wayne :) That is a great method. In fact, when I worked out in the gym this is exactly how I worked out. Every week I would add more weight or reps. It's amazing how fast you will see results. I lost a lot of body fat without changing my diet or doing cardio. Lifting heavy weights is...

Hi Wanda :) Thanks for telling me that. I know this is a great rotation. My body has never felt this sore in a long time!! I really need help in the core region. And I definitely feel it in that area after doing the core work. I can't wait to see your post this coming Saturday. :o...

Is there any chance you are supplementing with protein shakes? Those things make me bloat a lot. Otherwise, I'm not sure I can offer any other advice. :)

Hi everyone :) I am starting my 2nd week of the blast rotation. Is it okay if I check in here too even though I'm way behind everyone else? :7 I only managed to get in 3 tapes last week, but I was very sore for several days. PLB is a killer workout. Can anyone share their progress...

Hi Katia- breakfast-oatmeal, fruit, milk snack-cheese sticks, fruit, veggies, nuts lunch-yogurt, dried meat, apples, oranges, cheese, veggies snack-popcorn and more fruit dinner-varies, but usually a protein and carb and some fat snack-nuts, popcorn, fruit My staple foods are yogurt...

Eating whole, unprocessed foods is what I think clean eating is. Since you said you can only eat 1200 calories, divide that between your 5 meals. That comes to 240 calories per meal. Like Deborah said, try to have a protein, fat, and carb at each meal. Have more protein after a weight...

Definitely weight train. It raises your metabolism and builds more lean muscle tissue. Muscle takes up less space than fat, too. Therefore, even though you start weight training and weigh the same - you will look smaller and more compact. My sister has "bulkier" legs, too. She lifts...

I've read that not eating breakfast has a big correlation with weight loss and metabolism. I can eat and go straight to working out so I can't offer any insight. Have you tried eating different things to see if you can stomach a workout?

Try adding a healhy habit each week. Make an effort to eat fruits for snacks. Add veggies to your lunch and dinner. Up your water intake. Each week add another healthy habit. After 4 weeks you should be eating fairly clean. On the cold turkey issue - if you know you can't resist...

Hi Katia - We are about the same size. I also weigh 110 lbs and 5'2. I eat 1500-1600 calories each day and space my meals out between 5-6 meals. I am also trying to lose the last few pounds (on my waist), and this calorie range seems to work for me. I am not following any particular diet...

Hi Stacy :) You don't need a ball. You can do modifications using your step. I think the ball just adds a little extra punch. Don't worry . . . I felt every muscle fiber I was supposed to with the floorwork.

dona-The workouts are around 65 min. each. I skipped the cooldown and worked out for 60 min. You won't need to set aside that much extra time if you already used to doing 60 min. workouts. Like someone else said, if you don't have the Terminator DVD, get it. Cathe really mixed the...

It's edited good. You don't get a screen popping up telling you what's next. They made sure that they edited it so that Cathe is telling you what's coming up next. I think when Cathe made the workouts she took into account that she would be editing compilations of other workouts. For...
