Hey Jodi - I use Jennifer Kries' Precision Tonining. I use it on an off day. I don't actually like it very much as I get bored with lots of floorwork etc. But I persevere with it because it really works for me. It increases my flexibility, makes my butt and thighs a bit sore and really...

I don't really have any concrete suggestions but I thought I would share how I used PS and what results I got. I came off a PS rotation last week and was absolutely amazed at how it had leaned me out all over. All the flab on my back has disappeared and I have come down a dress size. I did go...

Hollycat you are so right - Jen definitely deserves a huge thank you for starting this thread!!!

I have just finished a very similar rotation except I did PS instead of S&H (which I guess is a little less intense than S& H). I used the same videos for cardio (except I did Rythmic Step instead of Step Fit). I was really nervous about the reduced cardio at first but it really worked well...

RE: Bizarre!!!!!! I just had to agree with you getyourfreakon0402 - about the losing weight thing. I have not read IE but after almost collapsing due to too little food and too much exercise, I decided to just listen to my body. I eat when I am hungry and I exercise when I feel like. If I...

RE: Potatoes? Hi Lay - I think your resolve to eat healthy on week days is a great one. I started out that way and now I pretty much carry it into the weekends as well (I can't help it, though I am trying to ease up a bit). I think you really should visit an organic market. You will probably...

I know this may sound really obvious but it is something I overlook a lot when I am really busy - water! I have been obsessional about drinking water recently and it really has boosted my energy levels.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-09-02 AT 01:04PM (Est)[p]I only started doing rotations recently and I found that they help me put a little forward planning into my workouts. When I was doing videos on an ad-hoc basis, I was unable to work out what my body responded well to. I also found that I ended up...

Hey K60 - just noticed your message. I pretty much felt the same a month ago - that I was simply not doing enough. To make matters worse the weight was simply not coming off no matter how hard I worked. Anyways to cut a long story short, I ended up completely depressed and burnt out. I also...

Hi Lori - I can clarify one thing for you. Dipping below 1200 calories is not a good idea. I did that and started having some serious problems. I am still struggling to regain my apetite. You are so right about there being tonnes of info out there on how many calories you should be eating...

Hi Wendy I think its wonderful that you have lost 10 lbs since Christmas. I just had a question for you as your diet sounds pretty similar to mine - mainly veggies and fruit as fillers with measured carbs (I know how easy it can be to go overboard with them!) and proteins. I was wondering how...

I am no expert on any of these matters, but I know that even slightly strong medication makes me bloat. I think it puts a little more stress on the kidney and causes water retention. I find that drinking more water helps. Also I was having the same problem as you - Eating clean, working out...

Dear Nic Glad that you too have realised how easy it is to go off the rails. I too knew that something was seriously wrong with me when I was travelling on business. I was hit with such a sense of panic and fatigue that I thought people sitting around me at a meeting were beginning to fade...

RE: Calorie Counting Thanks Bobbi I will check it our right now. I have been wondering if I am slightly anorexic (if that is possible). But in the past few days I have managed to eat more and have decided to take time off from my exercise routine. Also I have tucked the weighing scale...

Dear Nic14 Please do not beat yourself about being stupid etc. I am 30 years old and was unsure whether I was eating too little or exercising too much! In fact 2 days ago, it was on this very website that I discovered I might be heading towards anorexia. There is so much information out, so...

There it is! The last two posts have confirmed my nagging doubts. I have never ever counted calories before and nor have I adopted such a rigorous fitness regime before. I do not think I ever had unhealthy eating habits but was simply heavier because of an acute lack of exercise (that probably...

Thanks a tonne U guys for the encouraging words. I'm gonna keep at it simply coz I love exercising and I care about what I put into my body. Might measure my body fat though as I have never done that.

Donna That is a really good question. Funnily enough my jeans became baggy just a month after I started exercising sending me straight to cloud nine. In fact it was that heady feeling of success that motivated me to control my caloric intake which I was not doing at that point. But ever...

I have always been a lurker but this discussion forum is so great that I just had join in. I have been exercising for four months now. I do five days of cardio (approx. 50 minutes per day) including interval, step, circuit, kickboxing and hi/lo. I also strength train twice a week and make it...
