    Squat Form

    Over time my squat form was also becoming less than perfect due at first to a knee issue. I was modifying my squats and realized I had slowly changed my form. I would also suggest squatting slower, onto a bench or chair. Also it is possible that due to your form you have become more quad...

    Menopause

    Thank you for the Natures Bounty info. I found just the "pm" version which is more what I am interested in. I'm definitely going to give this a try!

    Portable Snack Ideas Please

    The two that first come to mind are tuna or salmon in the foil packets. I eat them right out of the package and some higher protein cereals you could eat as is or mix in some craisins. Something like this...

    Help - rotation that fits my physical limitations?

    Hi, I see nobody has responded to this yet (unless it was posted somewhere else and if so, I'll keep this brief for now). I also have some workout limitations and can't do the long 5-6 day a week rotations either. Just a few questions, do you have any specific workout goal, such as to increase...

    Rotation/Consistency Advice needed

    Mid-July I finished a 10 week (5 day per week) workout rotation from Beach Babe's Tone It Up site. I was able to stick to the rotation because the workouts were short, usually about 30 minutes, had on dread factor and were a bit less intense than what I normally do. I was so proud that I was...

    ICE

    I was surprised to find ICE not as intermediate as I had anticipated, and I have been doing Cathe workouts for well over a decade. I think alot of the moves are similar to her other workouts, however, ICE seems to have less reps for some of the exercises which for me makes it less intense. I...

    monthly rotations vs series rotations

    It depends by what you mean by "results". If it's weight loss then, no. That is all diet for me. If it's general fitness, then also, no. I only find "results" when I pick a certain and specific goal, such as increase strength of my upper body then I will pick a rotation that focuses more on...

    So Confused About What to/What Not to eat

    I am also similar height/shape/age as yourself. I've tried many different eating plans over the years and also twice have tried different workout approaches while keeping my diet the same. The conclusion I have reached through trial and error is that diet definitely is key. I exercise for...

    46 and needing to get back into fitness..

    I think it is helpful to focus on a short term goal instead of losing 30 lbs and toning up everything. It can be overwhelming and can lead to trepidation about even starting. After time off, my plan is usually to start out working out every other day and no more than 30 minutes. I try to...

    P90X3 Rotation questions

    I have one more week left in another rotation then I'm going to take a few days to do some yoga/stretching. After reading some other forums I'm going to follow the Classic rotation and add in my running days. Some of the reviews say the Classic rotation doesn't pick up in intensity/strength...

    P90X3 Rotation questions

    I've never done P90X3 before. My goal is to increase cardio endurance and to gain a bit more strength. I'd love to increase flexibility too (gee, sounds like I want it all!) I'm not sure which rotation to do. I'm planning on adding running about twice a week to these workouts. I'm not sure...

    SOS slim the Legs Kettlebell or Edge Booty Extreme 2?

    I think it's important to make the distinction as to what is making your legs a pear shape, namely excess of body fat or do you feel your leg muscle itself is too hypertrophied for your liking? Both have different approaches to achieve the results you are after. Also look at your legs from a...

    I like Greg Iles' trilogy as well! I just got the last book but haven't read it yet.

    Let's talk books!

    Nelson Demille's John Corey series are also really good. The first one is called Plum Island. There is at least 6 out now, but I'm behind on a few right now. I also think anything by Greg Iles is great. An "honorable mention" category would be the Forensic Instinct series by Andrea Kane. I...

    Let's talk books!

    My favorite detective series is the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly. I didn't care for his Lincoln Lawyer books as much. The series is best read in order. I think the tv series on amazon prime debuted with the 4th book in the series. I haven't watched the series but the synopsis...

    Floor Work/Barre Rotation/new Rock Bottoms Rotation

    I saw noticeable, positive changes in my legs when I cut back on traditional squats and added in more sumo squats and floor work. I add floor work every other day to whatever workout I am doing. Sometimes I'll do a well rounded floor segment, sometimes a more focused segment, ie inner thigh or...
