    FLAX SEED OIL/ TIMING

    Hi All, I am also interested in taking flax seed, but I'm not sure which is the best form to take, the oil, or the pills? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what kind to purchase and where? Does it taste gross? Thanks!

    BFL Check-In

    Hi Everyone, I am in week 4 of my first BFL challenge, although I am mostly just using the plan as a way of life from now on. So far, I am really loving it, and some people have commented on me looking smaller which hasn't happened in a long time. I think a big part of it is the pyramid...

    Muscle Soreness

    Hi Everyone, I know I am about to ask a question that has been asked a million times, but I just need some reassurance here. I have been doing a rotation which includes PLB and PUB. Naturally, I was very sore when I started these workouts. It has only been a few weeks, and I already have...

    Results with two cardio sessions per day

    Thank you so much Clare for your wise advice. I actually got this idea out of this month's issue of Muscle and Fitness Hers which suggests doing two cardio sessions a day, just for 30 days, to lose a 10 pounds quickly. However, I neglected to think about the injury aspect of this type of...

    Results with two cardio sessions per day

    Hi Everyone, I was just curious if anyone has tried an intense rotation using two cardio sessions per day to maximize loss of body fat, and if so, what were your results? I am thinking of starting next week since summer is right around the corner! The sessions I would probably try would be...

    Lower leg/ ankle pain during cardio

    YES! It is in that exact spot. I find that when I do step workouts like All Step or Step Intervals, I don't feel the pain as much. I do feel it the worst during CM and CK. Hmm... guess I better tone it down a notch or change my rotation. Thanks for your input.

    Lower leg/ ankle pain during cardio

    Hi Everyone, I need some advice. I have been doing Cathe tapes for over a year now, and I love the intensity of her workouts. In January, I began a rotation emphasizing cardio and endurance for weight training. The cardio parts of my rotation include Circuit Max, Cardio Kicks, Interval Max...

    Evening exercisers

    I have started looking at my 10:00p.m. workouts as a strict commitment and a time for myself. Doing my workouts that late gives me the time to eat dinner and relax after work, and after relaxing from 7:00p.m until 10:00p.m, I am just itching to get up and move. Of course some nights I do my...

    Power Hour Question

    Hi Everyone! I am currently on my second week of a Power Hour rotation (2x per week for 4 weeks). When I did the workout last week, I increased the weights I was using for triceps. I felt challenged while doing the workout and could not complete every rep. The next day I did not feel any muscle...

    A.M. vs. P.M. workouts?

    I agree that finding the perfect time for your personal schedule is whats important. I have been working out around 10:00p.m. lately because I find that is the only time I can devote an hour or so to my workout. I used to come home from work around 6:00pm exhausted and do my workout then, but I...

    S & H and Bulk

    Hi All! I just have a general opinion question for those of you who have used the S & H series. Would you recommend it for someone who is short (5 feet) and wants to avoid bulking up or looking too stocky. I tend to stick to endurance type workouts because I am afraid of getting too bulky...

    Opinions on this Rotation

    Thanks Julie, I tend to favor cardio, and that is why I always put so much of it into my rotation. I am one of those people who still thinks I have to do tons of cardio to see results. As for strength training, I definitely would like to see cuts, but Im not so much concerned about gaining mass...

    any exp with baby having short femur ?

    RE: My sister just went through this... Hi Susan, Thank you for sharing that with me. My sister is only 27 and her AFP levels did come back high. She chose not to have the amnio done. I read that if AFP levels are low, that may indicate Downs. And Im pretty sure they told her that they dont...

    any exp with baby having short femur ?

    Hi Everyone, I know this may be off the subject, but my sister is pregnant and due at the end of July. At her last Level 2 ultrasound, the doctors informed her that her baby (it's a boy!) has a short femur bone which is 5 weeks behind schedule. The rest of the baby's measurements are normal...

    Rotation using PS series and PH

    Hi Cathe, I need your opinion about a strength training rotation using both your PS series and Power Hour. My goals are to gain strength, but also to increase my muscular endurance. I am looking to tone and shape my total body, without putting on much muscle mass. I have created a rotation in...
