    Reasonable Expectations, Realistic Results

    This is a depressing thread. Sounds like many have just "given up". I think that's awful. I always think you can do better. Whenever I work out I try to do it harder, faster, or heavier than the last time. I'm not saying I have a perfect body because I don't. But I've learned to like what...

    Stability Ball Used in Xtrain

    I think the size of ball you use depends on your height. Maybe the ball you have is too small for your height. Just a thought.

    Xtrain and Losing Weight

    I always find it easier to concentrate on what I SHOULD be eating instead of what I shouldn't be eating. If you fill your plate with a protein, veggies (1-2 cups), maybe a whole grain like brown rice, quinoa, ect, and fresh fruit, it leaves very little room for the junk you shouldn't be eating...

    100 Rep Challenge Question

    I'm unsure of how to use these in my workout. I'm doing the 90 day rotation. If I'm doing chest, shoulders and back should I do the later raise challenge that's on that dvd or should I do another one as I've already worked shoulders? Same goes for disc #2 if I worked bi's and tri's in the...

    Xtrain and horizontal conditioning

    You could just stretch out the xtrain rotation and insert HC into it once a week or so. I'm doing the 90 day xtrain rotation but I run 2 or 3 days a week, so on the days I run that's my workout and I just pick upthe xtrain rotation the next day wherever I left off. So my rotation might be...

    Lifting heavy and "bulk"

    I gain muscle easily, and I love lifting heavy weight. High rep low weight is probably my least favorite type of work out. I've noticed that since lifting heavy, I weight a little bit more, but my measurements are smaller. The other thing that I've noticed, is I don't have to worry about my...

    Advice on cold weather running gear needed

    I live in Michigan and all my runs take place between 5 & 6 am. I hated being overally hot when I run, so if it's 30 to 45 degrees, I will wear a double layer of running shirts. Usually one is an underarmor shirt and the other is just a shirt that I got for free from entering a race (not the...

    Cookware?

    I have 2 cast iron skillets and one cast iron covered dutch oven (old style not coated) and I use them every chance I get. As long as you take care of them properly they are non stick. In addition, I have 3 different sized stainless sauce pans, a stock pot, and 2 stainless frying pans (one...

    Horizontal Conditioning Question

    For those of you that use these work outs how do you use them in your rotations? I know it's mostly upper body/core work so do you use them in place of another upper body workout or a total body work out? My favorite way to work out is heavy splits 3 days a week (2 upper 1 lower) with cardio...

    Please help me put together a rotation

    I'd like to put together a 4 week rotation using my favorite work outs. I'd like to keep 2 days for running only (thursday and saturday). I'd also prefer to focus on upper body just a bit more than lower body. I could stand to lose 3 or 4 pounds but don't want that to be the focus of the...

    Question for anyone who has taken melatonin

    You might want to check out Dr. Oz's website. He did a show on this exact thing a couple weeks ago and it was very interesting.

    Help me decide what to buy!

    Muscle Max, Power Hour, and Pure Strength are a few of my favorites. They are older but I find myself using them on a regular basis...straight forward weight lifting without anything fancy. And you can go as light or heavy as you want.

    What To Eat Before I Workout????

    I've been working out for years at 5am. I don't eat anything before a morning workout, unless I'm running 10 or more miles. I drink a large cup of water and off I go. Maybe it's just something that my body is used to but I've never had issues with dizziness, ect. I think if I we to eat...
