    cardio vs. weights.....help!!! Don't know what to do!!!!

    Thanks so much for the replies!!!! I have always been interested in purchasing the advanced slim series, but then again, the follow up to power 90 looks good too...I really don't know what to do. I would think the basic slim series would be a little too intermediate for me, but maybe enough if...

    CAndi...thanks for the info...I'm about ready to go out and buy the stuff. I regularly suffer from interrupted sleep, some occasional hot flashes, some anxiety, and low libido. I had taken tryptophan about 23 years ago for poor sleep. I'm ready to try it again...can you tell me how much you...

    Another question for Kim...akaOneBuffMom

    I read your success story and was most impressed....I work out every morning for about 75 minutes before work. I try to alternate a day of cardio with a day of weight training the entire body...it seems that doing 30 minutes of cardio every day and working a different body part after (upper one...

    fit-tv (response from cablevision)

    Denise Austin....are they kidding? What a joke! I'm ready to switch back to Dish Network, just for Fit tv...that is why I made my dh switch to cable in the first place...he knows all too well about my obsession with working out! We still have all of our dish equipment, which we bought...

    Turbo Jam, cardio party..

    I have all of the turbo jam workouts and like them. The last cardio party (mix 3) i believe is harder, and faster than the others. Plus with the kickboxing gloves, it's definitely harder. Her weight training, or turbo sculpting definitely isn't CAthe. Since I"m 47 now, 75% of my max hr is...

    Speaking of Legs & Glutes...

    40something....I'm fairly new to the entire CAthe phenomenon, but I'm hooked! I have a 12lb bodybar and an 18lb bodybar (or imitation that I got at sports authority). I would love to get a 27lb one. I too don't relish the idea of changing weights on a weighted barbell and have not even...

    Great Article about 'Thinness' by JK Rowling

    Thank you so much for informing us about the article....I LOVED it. My favorite spinning instructor at the gym who also teaches tai chi and is very spiritual said we should stop looking at all the sh*t on tv which gives us ridiculous ideas about what we are "supposed" to look like. That is why...

    Work your butt!

    I have a first generation Precor elliptical trainer at home, and the graphics that show the muscle involvement show glutes primarily on backward motion and quads on forward motion. Also, on some of the FIRM workouts, they do step ups on the high step, some starting stepping up, and some start...

    magazine subscribers?

    I have a subscription to Fitness, only because I got it for a good price. I don't really love it. Why are all the models in those magazines 6 ft tall and super thin? We are not all like that! I like Oxygen and M&F Hers, altough they are pretty hard core. I do not like shape, and agree that...

    Power 90 plyo legs

    Thanks so much for the info ladies...for the price, I was thinking that maybe I would order the entire series. I was always intrigued by Power 90...I don't know if I could do the P90X...it looks a little extreme for me. What is a "rockit" if I may ask? I need a lot of lower body work...not so...

    Colleen, can you tell me where you found this rotation? I HATE step...I get frustrated when I lose the steps, and then the cardio benefit is gone. I have a treadmill and elliptical trainer at home that I use for cardio when I'm not doing a kickboxing dvd. I would love to incorporate the...
