    i never noticed

    I did Chest, Shoulders and Back last night from XTrain, and I notice every time that when we do what are called "incline chest press" on the stability ball - only Brenda is on an incline. Everyone else is flat.

    Anyone Tried a Cleanse Pill?

    There's one born every minute..... The whole cleansing "fad" is just that - a fad. It's unnecessary. Remember the '80s and early '90s and the colonic "fad." Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. There's your all-natural cleanse.

    Intrigued by STS

    Doesn't require a ton of space, but does require a fair amount of equipment. I have an adjustable barbell, dumbells from 3-20 pounds, the bench, the barre/tower (although that piece is probably the least necessary). It would be great if downloaded and taken to the gym. Perfect for that. It's...

    Total Body Trisets or High Reps

    I like them both. High Reps because it's high reps/low weights. It's longer but has good premixes. I like the use of the stability ball in TBTs and the nice thing about TBTs is it moves quickly, so you almost get a cardio effect from it. It too, has nice premixes on it, as well. I use TBTs...

    tablets/e-readers

    I recently got the Kindle Fire HD. It apparently does everything (although I haven't gotten that far yet). I've used it to read magazines, surf the web, I follow the forums, facebook, linked in, etc all on the Kindle. i've downloaded 3 books so far. I like how you can adjust the way the text...

    Hair & the new workouts

    I'm with Cathe when I workout - ponytail!! I can't stand hair hanging in my face, it's hot when it's down, it gets sweaty. Yuck - and that would not look good on a video. You're working out, not going out.

    X Train Users Guide

    I would just go to Walgreen's or wherever and buy a $2 report binder, punch some holes and stick it in there. Paperback documents that are heavily used will eventually start to break down. I've had pages come out of magazines, cookbooks, etc. Just happens with use.

    Getting Older

    You guys are awesome! There was some funny stuff in here - sleep upside down like a bat! And I love the "age is a privelege" quote. I feel a bit better today. Guess I was just having a bad weekend. I think I topped it off by possibly misreading someone and flirting inappropriately with them...

    Getting Older

    Anyone stuggling with getting older and just how your body is changing (getting softer and things getting saggier, etc)? How do you cope? I'm in my now late 40s and am really starting to struggle with my appearance. One day I feel okay and the next I feel completely freaked out and...

    In a funk and unmotivated

    I've been in a funk for a couple of months that I can't seem to break out of. No kids. No husband. No nothing. Yet here I am. I'm trying to get back at it though and hoping that will help break it. Did CrossFire yesterday - yikes!!

    Hard Strikes = foot pain?

    It's the hundreds of freakin' jumping jacks and those skier things. I just can't do them all, so don't. I also don't change direction on the ones I do. That's my only disappointment with that workout is that it is so high impact - especially on the feet and knees - and it's the same two moves...

    Xtrain/LIS rotation

    One of the best rotations I've done. Fun, no dread factor, super effective. I have to get back on it - I've been out of commission for the last two months. Ugh!!

    Any Cathletes living in Chicago? What is it like now? What would you say/suggest to someone considering a move there?

    Dog names vs. people names

    I also think animal names are just more unusual so they stick in our brain more. Those are the ones I remember most anyway.
