    Runners check in April 4th

    Thanks for the insight. I will try taking deeper breaths to see if that helps. I think for my next run, I may just do a steady state run at a slower pace. Maybe 5.0. I did my run today and it was great. Running has such a different affect than any other cardio. Even IMAX 2&3. Thanks, Jen

    Nurses anyone?

    I'm glad to hear the "sell your soul" comment. I haven't really heard any inside scoop on the accelerated programs. I'm married, but have no children, so I think the accelerated program would still be an option. I guess what does concern me is that I would have to quit my job to attend the...

    Nurses anyone?

    Thanks so much for your responses, I really appreciate it! My main reason for wanting to change directions is that I'm really interested in entering the health care field and I think nursing provides the most opportunity. I would really like to use my current knowledge of communication/writing...

    I love food..

    Just another idea...try eating half the amount of your favorite foods than you normally do. My DH and I both eat this way as we do not restrict what we eat because we love food too. I love everything about food, preparing it, eating it, experiencing it...it's fun! But I also try my best...

    Anyone from Des Moines?

    Hi, I live in Council Bluffs, IA, which is about 1 1/2 to 2 hours away from Des Moines, but I have been there several times. It's a very nice place to live and the cost of living in Iowa, or the midwest for that matter, is great! I agree with all of the above comments about Iowa, it has...

    Hi Cathe, I have a question about the heart rate ranges that appear in some of your videos. Yesterday, after completing the first segment of Body Max, I did the heart rate test that you included and when I counted my beats per the time you say, I am above the maximum level shown for my age...

    Organized people: How do you do it all?

    Hi Lori, I don't post often, but I can definitely identify with your post. I don't have any children, but I do work full-time and have a home and large yard to take care of. I workout first thing in the morning and that is the biggest benefit to getting things done. As for the cleaning, I...

    Hello, My father is also from that area (Gloucester and Beverly), although I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. My parents and my DH and I are going out there this August to visit. DH has never been there. I know you asked for members from there, but thought I would chime in that I too have...

    I know this sounds stupid..

    Hello, What DVD players won't the DVD's play on? I'm also interested in purchasing a few DVD's and have a really cheap DVD player. I am weaning myself off of video tapes and currently have an all-in-one VCR/DVD player. Curious, Jen

    My nails are horrible

    I have always had a problem and I have been using a product called Rejuvacote and it is FANTASTIC! You can normally get it at a local nail salon or online too. It runs between 12 and 14 dollars. You apply one coat every day. I always had splitting nails and they would break constantly. Now...

    Physical Changes after using Intensity Series?

    Wendy G, Yes, I have already noticed a difference in my body after about 2 weeks of the intensity series. The pyramid upper and lower body workouts are the BEST! I can feel it right now, but in places I've never known before! You'll love it. I can't wait to see what the next few weeks...

    Power "Ow"-er!!

    I just did it last night for the first time in a month or so and I feel exactly like the subject suggests..."Ow"!! I missed out on this video the most while we were finishing our basement. There was no place for me to workout, so I took a small break. I must say those lunges are a killer...

    Hello, I've always liked mine with some broccoli (good for you, too!) and cheese. If you're watching the calories, add more broccoli and less cheese. Jennifer
