    Will I lose muscle tone after two weeks of not working ...

    I injured myself last monday (while lifting) and decided to only do cardio for the rest of the 4 days (I normally lift 3 out of 5 days), and now I’m sick so I haven’t done anything at all in 5 days (I haven’t done any lifting in 10 days total.) I was going to start back up today but I’m still...

    hurt my neck and back.. should I take a break?

    Yesterday while lifting I strained my neck and lower back. About an hour afterwards I started to feel dizzy and it continued mildly throughout the day (mostly when I’d turn my head.) I usually workout 2 hrs a day split between morning and afternoon so I refrained from lifting in the afternoon...

    What is the difference?

    So the weights that she lifts with that DVD (drill max) aren't enough to build muscle?

    What is the difference?

    I hope I don't sound dumb for asking this... What is the difference between interval training, circuit training and high/low impact? Also for those of you who are into weight lifting... is doing drill max a hard enough weight training workout? I really don't like to do just weights... I...

    Protein question

    Could someone tell me if I'm supposed to only take protein after doing weights or should I also take it after cardio? In a minute I'm going to be doing Kick, punch and crunch... should I make a protein shake afterwards?

    Need Weight and Workout Recommendations

    I had the same problem… I lost 8 lbs and then it stopped. You’ve probably hit your plateau. Keep up the dieting… After I hit my plateau (about a week or so) I started to lose about 2 lbs a week. It was a slow process but in the end I lost 20 lbs. I went down to 1200-1300 cal. per day...

    Melatonin

    I know you’re not supposed to take it for long periods of time and I think it only works on those who are low in melatonin. I'm not sure, but I think it can have negative effects on you if you take it when your body doesn't need it. Hormonal side effects... which are never good. I know that...

    Rotation Help for Fit TV

    I'm new to Cathe too... I started with Turbojams and went to Cathe because I felt I needed more of a challenge. I started with FitTv using my dvr too and then for my bday I purchased Hardcore Extreme, Kick, Punch & Crunch and Drill Max. They were all somewhat a challenge though because you get...

    Acne anyone???

    I work at a day spa and we have a chiropractor there(who is also into holistic medication) and he recommends a Chinese supplement… I don’t know the name of it but I can get it the next time I go into work. A couple of girls at my work use it and they love it. I’ll look into it and get back to you.

    Acne anyone???

    I'm using proactive now and it's not doing a thing for me. I'm 31 and I've had problems with acne forever! My cousin in trying Murad and says it works good for her. I think I'm going to give Proactive a month and if nothing changes I'm going to try murad. It's kind of expensive though.

    3 day juice fast

    I'm doing my second 3 day juice fast. I did it about 6 months ago before I started to diet and I think it was a great start. I ended up losing 20 lbs after about three months of eating 1200 calories per day. It was hard at first but after the third day my impulses to nibble on my kids food...

    I pulled my groin muscle

    Thanks for the advice... I did imax 2 this morning and I was very careful. I could tell, even after giving it a few days rest, that there is still an issue there so I'm going to take it easy with my afternoon workout! I saw your picture on your profile...you look like you are in excellent...

    30 Day Veg Pledge

    I’ve been a vegetarian for years and at first it was hard but it took no time at all to get used to it. Usually, the only time I crave meat is for something like a hot dog, which is something I shouldn’t eat anyway. There are so many meat substitutes’ out there that it should make things...

    I pulled my groin muscle

    Thanks for the advice... I'm gonna start back with my routine today but I'm going to take it easy. I can still feel that there's a problem but it's much better then it was 3 days ago. I think power lungs with the step (from hardcore extreme) are what aggrivated it so I'm going to stay away...

    is this overkill??????

    thanks for the advice... I love to do interval training. A lot of my routines have it. I think I need to cut down to maybe an 1 hr or 1 1/2 and like you said do more weights. Thanks

    is this overkill??????

    I'm curious to how long you workout per day? I do a morning and afternoon workout and they are both usually about 45-70 mins. (total about (1.45-2.00 a day) I've been doing weights three days a week (MTF- full body - drill max or Jari Love's get ripped series) but it's mixed with cardo. Then on...
