    Rebounder: Jumpsport, Bellicon, or.......

    Haha...I wish that would happen. I want to give a shout out to momof10 who helped me a ton on picking my sweet neon green Bellicon. She has her own channel and tons of workouts on the Bellicon. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJpvpFeEaI0LVTvcwmMTBng

    Rebounder: Jumpsport, Bellicon, or.......

    I have an accurate heart rate monitor, and I have performed several comparisons workouts to see where my heart rate tracks on my gym floor (professional impact floor) versus the Bellicon. Example, I compared the floor workout with Cathe's Hiit dvd, the Double Wave segment, and also X10 dvd...

    Rebounder: Jumpsport, Bellicon, or.......

    This was my dilemma. Truth is, I bought my man his own Bellicon, found an amazing deal on Craigslist, still paid $550 for it though, but it was brand new, I could tell by looking at the bungees. You may want to look there first. I weigh100 pounds (approximately) less then he does, and...

    Rebounder: Jumpsport, Bellicon, or.......

    I am so sorry for your husband...I followed the same route as his decision, so I emphasize heavily (and agree). I'm just about there (has taken me 6 months). I have a 49 inch Bellicon (40 inches to jump on) and a Jumpsport 40 inch frame, but only 24 inches to jump on. The JumpSport was my...

    I'm on Scott Sonnon's site right now, thank you for this link!!! Do you have any of his dvds, because that video of him on the lake has me very interested (hope there are no mosquitos). That's the type of flexibility I'm after, I don't want to be hyper-mobile, but flexible on all planes of...

    I don't do any of the Cathe monthly rotations, or anything formal except STS. That is always on, with one month off before I start up again. I've always lost fat and spared my muscle through diet first (Intermittent Fasting works fabulously for me). As discussed above, I've ditched the FDA...

    ? for those doing intermittent fasting

    This is pretty much how I do it. I generally have a window of 8 hours to eat, stop eating around 8 or 9 pm. Thankfully I've never been a breakfast eater, so I'm not hungry in the morning anyway. I do have aloe vera juice, lemon and some powdered supplements along with coffee, around 9 am...

    Your first paragraph defines my early life! I agree completely with functional movements. I also believe we have to train on all three planes of our body. Here's a good article on this topic: http://breakingmuscle.com/yoga/how-and-why-to-use-all-3-planes-of-motion-to-improve-your-mobility I...

    I like using different oils to gain a spectrum of benefits. The only Red Palm Oil I would buy is from Nutiva because they are fair trade and grow their product on small farms, so orangutan wildlife is not impacted. I think this is really important. Red Palm oil is very high in Vitamin A...

    I don't have any Pilate DVD's and at least right now, not doing any mat work. What I have is an Allegro 2 Reformer and the manual from Balanced Body: "Reformer, A Detailed Guide For Practicing Pilates" and "Pilates Anatomy" by Rael Isacowitz. I realized after pulling a hamstring towards the...

    Over 40 trying to get the muscle back

    We are sticking to physical training right? I've tried quite a few methods over the years, I'm still a great fan of Arnold and Rachel McLish. If you look at all the dvd sets one could buy, its mind boggling. I don't think any workout is wasted time, unless you are hating it. I do know for...

    Omg, you said it woman!!! I have my own gym and there are times poor form is hard to make a man understand, especially advice from a woman... that heavy weight at the risk of injury is just not worth it. There is a huge difference between doms and a slow-onset injury, or immediate injury for...

    I'm sorry this is so long, but its such a complicated issue and I have evolved over years. What works for me: I have closed my eyes to the FDA food chart. I will not touch any foods that are GMO or processed. That includes processed salt and changed out to sea salt or Himalaya salt, because...

    Full fat vs. no fat or low fat

    Ya... I do love vanilla. Nice to see you Clare, I'm hoping to be fully healed by May and heading up to your neck of the woods for the X100.

    Full fat vs. no fat or low fat

    That's the thing about sugar, its addicting because it affects your dopamine receptors, without getting into the boring stuff, sugar hijacks your brain to want more. I realized how addicting cereal was about 15 years ago, my favorite (don't laugh) Lucky Charms, and I used to pick the...
