    nutribullet?

    I recently saw buy one get one free NutriBullet on a TV informercial. I think the price was $110. Target sells them for $99. Also the TV ad sends you a book with more recipes and information about what foods are good for what. I bought mine at Target so did not get the book and the book...

    nutribullet?

    I have a NutriBullet and love it. Makes a great smoothie. I can't justify the price of a Vitamix to make smoothies and that is all I would be using it for.

    Shakeology

    I don't think there is any place to buy it at a better price. If you like Vega stick with that. I don't think there is any magic with Shakeology. There is a long thread about it on videofitness.com both pro and con. I got a free bag when I ordered Les Mills Pump and I liked it but I am not...

    Slimming question

    I agree with the above. I find that barre work, Tracy Anderson and light weight makes a difference for me. After completing STS followed by CLX I could no longer fit my thighs and arms into my clothes. I changed it up and started doing more barre etc and added in lots more walking and it all...

    PiYo

    I am interested in Chalene's Piyo series also and I don't even like Chalene that much. Too loud and shrieky for me but these look great. Hope her personality has calmed down and is a bit quieter. "Go heavy or go home" got to be a pain in the ....in the CLX program. I look forward to seeing...

    "starchy" carbs

    I heard SeanT say somewhere that he eats at least one sweet potato a day. Quinoa is also good It is great for vegetarians as it is a complete protein. Kimberly Snyder a food writer eats a couple of bananas each day. She has a detox book and is a believer in green smoothies.

    Dog Food

    Congratulations on your new puppy. I cook for my dogs. Rice, veggies, a protein--chicken, meat whatever all go into a pressure cooker and a weeks worth of food is cooked and stored in the freezer and fridge. Pet food is a pet peeve of mine. I don't trust or like any of it--grocery, gourmet...

    stomach fat argggg

    I have the same problem--belly fat. Everything else is looking pretty good but that fat just won't go. Some days I feel like I can live with it but other times it really bothers me. Makes some jeans uncomfortable. I too work out 5 or 6 times a week tho I don't go heavy any more and that...

    Low Carb-High Fat

    Most of this was supported by Dr. Atkins years ago and he was ridiculed for it and almost lost his medical license. He quoted endless research supporting his opinions and everyone scoffed at his ideas. What convinced me was a friend who was lean, worked out regularly and ate very carefully...

    I give up on protein shakes!

    I am not a big fan of protein shakes either. They taste OK but make me feel bloated. I like a green drink better. Greens, half an apple, pear and banana and a squeeze of lemon with either plain water or coconut water. I would rather eat something solid like a banana or a crisp bread with nut...

    How About JNL Fusion?

    Check out videofitness.com. There are lots of reviews and discussions of JNL. Most seem to like it but find her personality a bit over the top.

    Why do my feet hurt when working out? Do I need new shoes?

    I love the Asics also. You sound like you definitely need new shoes and ditch the socks for ones that are not so tight. I wear Old Navy ones and have no problem. Tight socks? I can't even imagine!

    Comparison of all the P90X's

    I completed this series and was so glad when it was over. She drove me nuts with her voice and her shouting at you. Plus I found many of the exercises awkward. I did this after STS and I have to say STS was a hands down favorite while I actually gave away CLX immediately.

    Not sold on the streaming subscription

    Agree with all of the above. I cannot afford to spend $20 a month on this. I love Cathe but I also enjoy workouts with other instructors and if I were to subscribe to their sites also this could get very costly. I am very glad and relieved to hear that you will still be offering DVDs.

    Cathe or Anyone. Fat Loss Training Question

    I had the same issue. I had followed STS with a CLX rotation and while I got much stronger and had greater endurance I also could not fit my arms into the sleeves of my sweaters and tee shirts nor my quads into my jeans. Plus heavy lifting made me hungry. I did Tracy Anderson's Meta Omni and...

    Glucosamine/Chondroitin

    I have taken it in the past and it really worked. I can't remember how long until I noticed but I did learn that I did not have to take it forever. Now I will take it for a few weeks in the winter and then I don't need it till next winter. I am a lot older than you and found it very effective.

    Rest/Recovery--Need Tough Love, Please

    I went thru this a few years back and it was someone on this forum who was a personal trainer who told me you need a rest WEEK. I took the advice. Took a week off doing nothing. I could not believe how much better I felt a week later. I could go longer having better endurance and lift...

    Collage Video Will Return?

    Awhile ago they shut down their coming soon site and announced that they were under new management and that the site would return in the Spring. Then the going out of business notice. Possibly they had a buyer or investor who then backed out and now the deal is now back on. Just speculation.

    Barre workout

    I have done them off and on since they were first released. The only con I can think of is that some find Tanya annoying. Personally I find her funny and motivating. She makes me keep that leg up! You have to just take her tongue in cheek when she starts rapping about cellulite etc. There...
