I just took a peek at your blog... looks very nice. Weird thing though. Other than the fact that you are a inch taller than me, all of my stats and goals are the same as yours. It was kind of strange to see my numbers on your blog. Twilight Zone time- we are also remodeling our kitchen...

Wow! If ya'll are the "stuck in a rut" group, I'm sure glad that I didn't sign up with the tough crowd! What's with all the overcoming obstacles and doing multiple workouts and stuff? I hope that I can keep up!! Today I really thought I couldn't fit a workout in as I knew I would be in and...

My day is so booked up that I don't really know where I'm going to fit in a workout today. I think that by committing to it here I will be more likely to squeeze something in somewhere. I had planned to give the Slim and Lean workout by Jari Love another try, so, if not that, something...

Yummmmmmmy. No, looking is not fattening. And neither is smelling. Whenever my husband or sister or other family sugar-eater is about to indulge in front of me, they always hand it over and let me have a lovely smell. That's all I need now- a deep whiff of the fresh chocolate chip cookie or...

Mom2kttj and isureti, jodijodi has been starting a new thread every day so today's thread would be the "Stuck in a rut" for Wednesday one. You might need to re-post over there.

Thank you ladies! I am slowly getting it. Your comments along with some advice I received on another thread (from Ellesan) have been a great help. I just didn't want to work out for another six months and not get the desired results because I was doing something wrong. I see that it is not...

All through with my cardio and after all that whining it was not so bad! I had a cup of coffee before I started and I thought I was going to ski across the room. Worknprogress- I just bought Physique 57, Lauren Brooks' first kettlebell workout, and the original Squeeze workout. I haven't...

Good Morning everybody! Jodi- Aren't you glad that you've done it already? I love that feeling of accomplishment! It's cardio day for me and I don't want to do it. Since I don't have a step yet or any other cardio equipment and it is cold (ish) outside, I have to do the dreaded...

I understand that some workouts are more for muscle endurance and some are more for strength, but what is the best way to combine them into a rotation? Should you mix both endurance and strength workouts in the same week? Or should you do all endurance one week and then switch to all...

And she runs 80 miles a week.

I did my scheduled (actually for yesterday) Physique 57 workout! I would not have done it if I hadn't posted that I would, so "Yeah!" for this challenge!

I'd like to join in too! My rut has been doing the same workouts over and over and having my results slow waaaaaay down. So I have ordered a few new workouts and am ready to start working them in... except that I keep procrastinating now and have not started up with my new schedule. Now...

Well so much for saving money- I just ordered Lauren Brooks first kettlebell workout from Amazon and picked up a 15 pound kettlebell at Dick's. Now I can mix it up even more.

I'm curious about this also. I have been doing chest presses with a barbell and whatever added weight allows me to do the same number of reps as Cathe does push-ups while following the same count. Although I know that they don't work exactly the same muscles in exactly the same way, I couldn't...

I have exactly one month before my trip and so have made up a 4 week schedule. I have mixed up my workouts as much as I can and tried to make each week as different as possible. I will be using all 5 of the Cathe Hardcore videos, the three P57 workouts, the Get Ripped video and a couple of...

Thanks Joan- I almost didn't see your comment! Frankly I'm afraid that doing MM and P57 on consecutive days might lead to my extinction. Maybe I could use the two Gym style upper body workouts and use P57 for lower body and give the ol' Muscle Max a little rest?

Sandra, A few questions: Is there some sort of reason behind how you structure your workout schedule or is it just designed to give you variety? As far as introducing variety, is mixing in the Gym Style workouts just like doing more Muscle Max? What I mean is, would that actually be...

Ahhh... so you would mix the two different workouts into the same week! I normally do the total body Muscle Max three x's weekly and the NordicTrack intervals for 30 minutes three x's weekly. The intervals are brutal. I have a BIG trip coming up in about 5 weeks. I thought when I first...

My Physique 57 DVD's arrived today and I'm really excited to give them a go. I would love some advice on how to work them into a routine with the Muscle Max workout. I also have the 3 Gym Style workouts, but have only ever done the Legs one. I would like to use those too (all 3). Any ideas?

Repost from Video and DVD question sub-forum: Hopefully by tomorrow I will have the three Physique 57 workouts. How do I work those in with my other workouts? Right now I am doing Muscle Max M-W-F and intervals on my NordicTrack T-Th-S. Do I work the new workouts into the Muscle Max weeks or...
