    Uterine Fibroid

    I have not had any issues with fibroids, but I am currently reading 'What your doctor may not tell you about premenopause' by Dr. Lee. I'm finding it very enlightening. I would highly recommend this read as it does mention this issue and ways to manage it. It has certainly given me some...

    Another Ultimate Yogi question

    I've never been much of a Yoga person, but I caved a while back and bought this for $100. I'm so glad I did, even at that price it was well worth it. I try to do at least one workout at least once per week. It's colder in my basement in the winter, so in the summer I will utilize the set...

    Dream body cardio

    I have the original DB series and they are hard! Yes, they are frantic and not very fun and the constant jabbering of the instructors does get annoying. However, they do kick my butt if I am brave enough to drag one out of the case and push play. I have a feeling these are going to be a lot...

    Heart Rate Monitor

    I have the Polar FT4 as well. I've had it probably for over 8 years. I've never had a problem with it. I had the battery changed at my local jewelers for $5 instead of sending it in. That battery has lasted now for probably 2 years or more. I think I paid around $80 for it. Money very well...

    any other cardio dvds as tough as cathe?

    I also agree that I thought Insanity was tougher. Another set of workouts that I think are more difficult is the Dream Body series. However, with both of the above....I have the dread factor.....so I don't do them as much. They're not much good if you don't use them. Plus, they have some...

    Party Rockin' Step 2

    This will be my crappy mood Workout! Sometimes I just get in a funk and come home crabby. I typically workout when I get home so it's hard for me to pick a workout when I feel like that, which is why I usually stick to routines......so that I don't wuss out on my workouts.:confused: I will...

    Slow & Heavy II

    I would love to see S&H 2! I have monster DOMS after doing S&H. I have noticed that while doing the first S&H series and also doing Body Beast Tempo (which is a slow and heavy workout) that the slow reps really help me build noticeable muscle. I also think that this type of lifting poses less...

    Ultimate Yogi

    I bought this from Amazon a couple of weeks ago for $100. I see today that you can get it for $86 with free shipping. Doesn't make me feel all that great, but thought maybe this might help someone else. I've only done 2 of the workouts so far, but I can tell I NEED more of these types of...

    Just Ordered Those Cute Blue Rykas for $29.99!

    Yes, I have again been enabled.:rolleyes: It seems like it's getting more and more difficult to find decent cross trainers in the store at a good price. Most of the shoes I find are running shoes....and I have plenty of those. So, this was a great opportunity to find a great pair of sneakers...

    rip 60

    I really like Rip 60 and actually was a bit surprised not to see too much chatter about it here. It worked my core like nothing else.....and I've done lots.:eek: After I did the whole program and went back and did some of the discs as 'stand alones' I was surprised at how hard they were. When...

    I got bit by a dog while running along the road

    Thanks for all the support and replies you guys.:) Just as a follow up....I did go in and get a tetanus shot, which I didn't even feel. I was due for a booster anyways since it's been well over 10 years since I've had a booster. The wound looks nasty today...not infected, but very bruised...

    I got bit by a dog while running along the road

    So I got home and it was a gloomy and overcast day but it was the perfect temperature for a run. I set out for a nice run into town. On my way back I ran by a house with dogs. These dogs typically just bark and run along side the yard but have never darted out at me before. Well, on my way...

    P90X results stories please

    I did the P90X for the full 90 day rotation and got great results. I lost about 20 pounds if I remember correctly and leaned out a lot! I got tons of comments from family and friends. I felt like a whole new woman! I did P90X and only P90X for the full 90 days as written. I didn't add...

    Firewalker Bands

    This reminds me of an article I was reading over the weekend regarding plastics. Apparently you are not supposed to heat any plastic container or put in it the dishwasher because it causes the plastic to leak chemicals that could cause cancer. It stated damaged containers leak chemicals as...

    My first 5K

    Congrats on your first race! The best learning experience is just doing it. After that race, you'll know what you'll need to do for the future. It's different for everyone. I know on my first race I was afraid of looking foolish. I didn't want to end up last and I didn't want to look like I...

    So what do you think of the music?

    Even though the music in LIS and STS doesn't grind on my nerves....as some others have said, it doesn't inspire me either. I find myself reaching for the Intensity series and Body Blast series more often than anything else. I know it's because of the music factor. I love the nostalgic...

    For those of you who Pre-Ordered STS back in the day.....

    It is in a black DVD case similar to the Ab Circuits case, except with the picture of Cathe on the front like in the other meso covers. Is says "Strenth" on the spine of the DVD, so maybe take a peek in your DVD cabinet for a black case and white lettering of 'Strength' on the spine. Maybe it...

    P90X2 pre-order.....who's caving?

    I am intrigued by the foam roller being used in a workout. I have one that I hardly ever use b/c I'm not very creative with coming up with my own workouts.:confused: From what I've seen, this sure does look tough! I got great results with the original X, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to...
