    Color your hair? What is the best brand?

    Sorry, I've been unwell and didn't see this response till now. The color from Robert Craig comes as a powder in a little tiny bottle. If you mix all of it with water, then yes, you have to use it or lose it. But they give you instructions for using only part of the color, or for mixing...

    Color your hair? What is the best brand?

    Robert Craig. The best! http://www.robertcraig.com/ At $10 / box it's inexpensive (I only use half a bottle to touch up the roots every other month--but I could use 1/3 of a bottle and get away with it). If you aren't sure which color to get, you can send a picture to Ask Karin and...

    P90X Rut Busters check in - week of 3/7

    Hey, all, I'm having a hard time getting back up to speed. I'm all out of breath quickly, like my muscles still don't want to put in some time. I tried to do Muscle Max today to get back into my workouts but was weak, weak, weak. I am going to try to nap today. One good thing about that...

    P90X Rut Busters check in - week of 3/7

    I am ALIVE. I did not fall off the face of the earth, I was sick. I hate being sick!!!! I thought my son gave me strep but a trip to the doctor said it was just another virus. So today I worked out for the first time in a few days--I did Low Max again but my energy level was low...

    A request re: our group behavior

    Candi, I respectfully disagree with you. :-) If you and another customer really get into a heated debate in a health club, the management has the right to eject both of you because you are disturbing other customers. Does this mean the health club is not "truly open" for discussion...

    RE: Any othe ================================ No offense, but I HATE the reference "Amazon." ================================ Oooh, Christine! My heart breaks! :+ When I was a kid, I was always called things like "Amazon" and "Frog Legs" but nowadays I'm short in comparison to all the...

    Wendy, you poor thing--Happy Belated Birthday. Sorry it was such a bummer. Here, have a glass of wine and a big ole' hug. :* 38 isn't so bad. I remember how I cried when I turned 25, and now I am 45! Ladies, I am in some serious hurt. That Gym Style Legs was a killer. I can barely...

    P90X Rut Busters Check In - week of 2/28

    Hey, gang, I was sick and spent the last few days drugged, but I'm all better now. (Excuses, excuses!) I did Gym Style Legs. Omigod, was that tough. I still don't like the band on stepups, but it works great on those hamstring lifts. And that new deadlift move--I LOVE it!

    Hey, guys! My iBook's logic board got fried and I've been offline for almost a week while they fixed it. The VERY FIRST THING I'VE DONE WITH MY RETURNED COMPUTER: Look up my Rut Busters. I really need you guys to stay honest. My workouts were sporadic when I was offline...I am ashamed to...

    Hey, gang! I did Muscle Max today and I adore the music, especially the tune when you first start doing pushups. It was really motivating and I've been dum-dumming it all day. I couldn't decide whether it was an endurance workout or not. The first part, with the squats, were definitely...

    LOW MAX CRISIS-WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

    RE: I just had the same reaction to Kick Max Try it with only a 4" step. When I am stymied by choreography, I work at it with a lower step. It's not as confusing if you aren't working as hard to keep up. Another thing I do: program the DVD player to play the same segment two or three times...

    P90X or Hardcore?

    I'm with Josie in that I think P90X is great for the upper body but weak on the lower. Cathe's cardio is WAY more fun. Way. I always substitute Cathe lower body work and cardio. The upper body stuff is good; a great alternate to trade off with Cathe upper body. I think Tony Horton is...

    Cathe (in praise of Low Max)

    Bwa ha, I had lots of fun with this one--I did it Saturday. At first you think "low impact, gonna be a light workout" and then BAM! You're toasted. I was soaked. :7

    Cathe, you can't please everyone....

    I have a two-year-old DVD player hooked up to a TV with mono sound and everything sounds normal to me. I own almost everything Cathe's made, too, except for her earliest cardio stuff, so I have plenty to compare HC with. The workouts are great, as usual, Ms. Friedrich. I really admire your...

    Dominican, poor baby! That Kick Max looks killer! Okay, ladies, I took my measurements and am one happy rut buster! I've lost 6 pounds, gone from 165 to 159 (I'm 5'8"). My goal is 135-140. I've lost 1/2 inch from my hips and 1/2 inch from my waist. My bust... well... let's not go there...

    Are you having problems with low music w/ the Hard Core series even after you did changes to your DV

    RE: Are you having problems with low music w/ the Hard ... My DVD player is 2-years-old and I'm hooked up to mono sound on my TV, but everything sounds the way it usually does. I'd like to say thanks to Cathe for another great series!

    Wow! I just did Low Max and I was soaked when I finished. I didn't notice any music volume problems at all. What I did notice is that Cathe seems to be going back to her roots in workout music. The music reminded me more of the original Imax and Bodymax than her more recent Intensities and...

    Ladies, my Hardcore arrived yesterday!!! I'm going to do one this afternoon. Which one should I do????? I'm thinking a cardio workout would be good. But maybe since I was supposed to do Yoga X today, perhaps I should do Core Max? Decisions, decisions!!! Sabine, I used to spend a lot of...
