Trying to get back on the bandwagon. I've been working out, just not keeping up with posting. Still resisting all urges to acquire more DVDs/Streaming services and using what I already have. So far, my March workouts have been: Mar 1: Abs Yoga section from Bob Harper's Yoga warrior, +Weider...

While I think that the OP could have been a little more "diplomatic" in the comments, I, for one, appreciate unvarnished honesty in opinion. Just another form of "If it does not challenge you, it does not change you". I always tell my hubs that if I ask whether my outfit make my butt look big...

Interesting range of opinions here, which I appreciate because I was on the fence about preordering right to the very end. I ended up not buying, and the OP helped me feel like I made the right decision. When I was previewing the clips, the thing that struck me was how much more slowly...

I'll probably end up getting the Body Weight and Bands workout at some point to add to my travel DVD options. Looks like Cathe has come up with some new and interesting ways to use the band in this one, and it also looks different from Travel Fit.

Now that LITE is out, I am here renewing the effort to beg for another advanced series. :-) I love the suggestion of a mini or simplified STS with a few new tabata/hiit/metabolic workouts. Although I was tempted at many points to pre-buy LITE (the videos sounded so good!), I resisted the...

I eat oatmeal every morning as a savory grain rather than a sweet one. Steel cut oats (more toothsome) and cooked on the drier side. I put a vegetable scramble on top for a good dose of protein and some home-fermented hot sauce for the probiotics. Its a filling, satisfying meal that tides me...

This. This would be an automatic pre-buy for me for sure.

@jacmar - At some point I totally want to try out Julia, but right now it's a pain to do YT in my workout room. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it! ;-) @gypsymom - You might want to look into picking up the whole set of Michelle's Peak 10 workout series if you like HIIT/Metabolic, but...

@lisa_la_machina : LOL on the Beachbody Shakeology ads. I have to admit that I got on the Shakeology bandwagon during my P90X phase myself. Definitely save the money on a good quality protein drink and your own recovery supplements. And I hear you on the short workouts. I'm actually looking...

Repeating suggestions for Michelle Dozois (Cardio Interval workouts from the Peak series) and Amy Dixon's Breathless Body series. Never heard of Julia, so I had to go look - previewed some of her workouts, and WOW, she really is a beast. I might have to agree that they look much harder than...

Hi sophiaj990, you might be interested in trying one of Cathe's Rock Bottoms rotations. June 2006: https://cathe.com/forum/threads/june-06-rock-bottoms-rotation.236281/ June 2011: https://cathe.com/feb-2011-rock-bottoms-rotation/ and November 2013...

For y'all that have done BeachBody on Demand, what do you think of it? I am thinking that this one may be the best fit for me for the sheer diversity of the workouts you get (pretty much everything) plus the annual plan puts the cost at less than 9 bucks a month. Is it easy to use and is...

If you don't have Lower Body Blast, it is similar to Cardio Leg Blast, IMO.

Ah, OK. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is the hormone your pituitary gland releases to stimulate your thyroid to produce triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). With hypothyroidism, if your TSH levels are high, it means that your body thinks the thyroid is not producing enough T3/T4, so...

Do you mean that your TSH was 5.1? My doc told me that they like to see numbers under 3, and endocrinologists say that you should really shoot for 1. I am at 2.8 and the doc is adjusting my meds to get closer to 1.

Leslie Sansone is my guilty pleasure. On days when I don't feel like working out, I pop in one of her shorter workouts and do a stretch or foam rolling afterwards. I have a ton of her DVDs and will keep doing her workouts forever. A few days ago on a recovery day, I popped in her 4 boosted...

That is the thing I find about Cathe (and other instructors who do higher intermediate to advanced workouts) - in the long run, they are better for you than workouts marketed for the "beginner". In a beginner workout, you have nothing to aspire to. With Cathe, I have reason to push myself...

At that price, I went ahead and bought one myself. It's been more years (decades) than I would like to admit since I've bought a step platform. The one I had was the really old Cathe step with only the 6", 10" and 14" options. The new updated version (4", 6", and 8") with the wider and longer...

"Cede's counting because she doesn't want to do any extra" :-) I think this line was from Pure Strength? She (and Brenda) have been at it a long time, ever since I can remember. I don't blame her for perhaps wanting to move on, for whatever reason. We lost Lorraine years ago. Cheers to...

I have owned and used three different strap-on HRMs from Polar and Timex. Then I got my Fitbit Charge2 and got rid of them all. I compared my Fitbit readings to the chest-strap monitors and I found that the Fitbit does lag a little, but if you just want an overall picture of how your workout...
