So sad. He was so gorgeous in Dirty Dancing, he just took my breath away. Rest in peace beautiful man.

Wonderful post. I had a natural birth, I'm the fittest I have ever been and I still have loose skin which makes a little pooch. I'm working on loving it as a badge of honour as I think its here to stay.

Great - i will have finished my current rotation by then - just in time to have a barre blast before Christmas.

I agree fully with icumom. I used to be an ashtanga purist - I even travelled to India a couple of times to study with Pattabi Jois. I only practised ashtanga yoga for years. I was in great shape, however since the birth of my son I have found that I need other types of training to get the...

Trying to do extreme workouts on low calorie diets. Doing the same thing day in day out - high impact aerobics classes, no weight training, for years.

Thanks! Copied and pasted to my rotations file - I may do this once I get through P90x!

Cathe has it - I recall doing a similar search and reading something she wrote about it. I have it too, but mine has dramatically improved and after two and a half years my stomach looks nearly as it did pre pregnancy. I'd recommend a book by Helen Byrne - I can't recall the name - I think...

I have a glass of soy chocolate milk and it works fine (admittedly I am an evening exerciser.) After an hour or so I have a homemade protein bar if I'm hungry.

In the UK its mainly celebrities releasing beginner level dvds - the only ones that spring to mind are Rosemary Conley and Jane Fonda. In fact my dad still refers to my 200+ collection of DVDs, mostly imported from America (I am a complete vidiot!) as my Jane Fonda DVDs!

AH - I live in the UK and they don't ship here!! This kind of thing drives me nuts as the selection of home grown DVDs in the UK is rubbish! I will have to wait for them to come up on ebay! Oh well - save my cash for a while!

I also cannot say enough good things about his book. In fact, Fitness Freak, it was reading one of your posts that inspired me to get a copy. I haven't looked back. I read his e-book - Burn the Fat Feed The Muscle. I know he has more out - they are on my amazon wish list. Workoutaholic -...

I am following the Tom Venuto book and I am finding it really effective for losing that last bit of fat. I have lost 2% body fat in a couple of weeks. There is quite a bit of calculating and recording involved at the beginning but after a while it all becomes second nature. I haven't read...

I'm in the midst of a P90x rotation but I am missing my barre workouts. Once I'm done I'd like to find a rotation to incorporate heavier weights, barre work and cardio. I'm keen to read any rotations that anyone comes up with.

can anyone post a link to this forum please?

thankyou so much for these posts - I'm in the UK and didn't even know that you could get these high steps and risers. i'm off to order!

thanks for your responses. I will try your suggestions and let you know how i get on

Technical question for all you computer wizaeds out there. I have the e book. I want to print it out but it is about 500 pages long. I was hoping to reduce the type face/ spacing etc in order to make the book take up less space and therefore be cheaper to print. Anyone know how? I just find it...

Sorry, I wasn't clear - I meant Cardio Kickbox. I have NMTZ but i haven't tried it yet as i am in the middle of a P90x rotation.

my calves kill too which has put me off - but you have inspired me - I'm all for short intense cardio blasts. Is there a significant difference in calories expended if you 'mime' jump rope without the rope - I have a small space to work out in and I don't think i could manage a rope in there

yep - i add an extra 20 minutes cardio a day to counterract the extra bites here and there
