    Yet Another Insanity Thread

    I bought Insanity 2 or more years ago and only made it through one week. I felt it was very repetitive. I could not tell a difference between any of the workouts. It was just constant all out effort with high impact. I also find Shawn T. annoying, I don't need him to lift his shirt up every...

    Where to sub XTrain Ride

    When doing the 90 day XTrain rotation where do you suggest we sub in Ride? Should it be substituted for one of the leg days or for HardStrikes? Thanks, Amy

    Body Beast or STS

    Hi Lisa, thanks for your input, it is very helpful. I decided to do STS. I initially put BB in the DVD player this a.m. Once it started to play I immediately got the "dread factor" feeling and ejected it. I put M1D1 in and away I went :-). Maybe some day I'll do a BB rotation but right now...

    STS STS 3.5 Mo.-Is Anyone Else Doing This?

    Hi ladies! Today was M1D1. I didn't do my one rep max but I have my numbers from the last time I did STS so I'm using those but noticed during today's workout that I can bump my weight up a little more due to my three months of XTrain! Yeah!! I'm not following any special diet, just trying...

    Body Beast or STS

    I'm contemplating starting a new rotation. I've done almost a complete rotation of STS a couple of years ago, so I am familiar with that program. I own Body Beast but have yet to try it b/c I was rehabbing a strained trapezius for the last 7 months. Thanks to XTrain it's much better now:-)...

    Too much cardio?

    Repo, we're you using the Shock Cardio Workouts with STS? Just curious. I haven't seen any posts about results from that rotation.

    STS STS 3.5 Mo.-Is Anyone Else Doing This?

    I'm starting tomorrow! I'm excited to start. Last time I did it was back in 2011 and I stopped two weeks before the end :-(. I plan on completing it this time. I've been doing my own rotation of XTrain the last 3 months and I think it's time for something different. :-)

    Pet Sitters ?

    I agree with everything Natasha said. I've owned six cats and was a vet tech for 10 years. One idea about your cat crying at night. It could be you're not playing with them enough once you get home. I'm guilty of this too :-( Laser toys and feathers work great to burn up some energy...

    STS/LIS or XTrain/LIS rotation

    Hey everybody, I'm trying to decide on my next rotation and I think I've narrowed it down. Has anyone done either rotation or both? If so, what kind of results did you get? I'll probably sub Ride or Cyclemax in once during the week for LIC. I would like to gain some muscle and shed some...

    Cycle Max or Ride?????

    Thanks Pam. I'm not sure if moving the cleat would help much. It's definitely something I could try. Amy

    Cycle Max or Ride?????

    My vote is for Ride as well. I love the 5 minute timer for every song and movement. Also, like the above poster said, some of the songs she has you follow the tempo of the song which is nice if you like to pedal to the beat. As for spinning shoes, I've tried it both ways ie. spin shoes vs...

    Opinion of Les Mills Combat dvd's

    I'm looking to add some more workouts to my collection and am curious how people who own these DVDs like them. I'm wondering how they compare to Turbo Fire which was one of my favorites, before I became obsessed with Cathe's workouts :-). I have the Les Mills Pump workouts and do enjoy them...

    Xtrain T-shirt

    Is the T-shirt still in the works or did you decide against it. Just curious. Been doing the program since January first and I love it more every day! Thank you!

    WORKING ON THE NEW WORKOUTS

    I agree with Renee. I think the music and loudness level are great. I actually crank my tv way up so the music is filling the room.
