    New check-in started

    I started a check-in for those of us who are not in as great of shape as so many on these forums. But of course we are all working hard to get there! I was wondering if anyone is interested in joining us. There are 3 of us so far. It's called "not in great shape, but getting there" if anyone is...

    Not in such great shape check-in? Anyone interested?

    Did any of you read that article "Hierarchy of Fat Loss" in Open Discussion under the post with the same name? I would post the link, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Anyway, it made a lot of sense and has made me rethink my plan for losing weight. I've decided to do 3 hours/week...

    Hey Liberty, How did your date go?

    Interesting quote from Jillian

    I would agree with that. Having to deal with something that has hurt your ego requires tapping into your inner strength to get past it sometimes.

    Butts and Guts...feedback please

    This is my favorite lower body workout because I can always count on butt DOMS for a couple of days. It's a fun workout, did I really just say that, but so tough! I've never done the premixes. I usually just do the standing part only. That's enough! I also really like the guts workouts...

    Hierarchy of Fat Loss

    I loved this article! It's making me rethink what I have been doing. I think I'll go back to focusing more on strength training. Thanks for posting!

    I feel like I'm "cheating" on Cathe!

    I know what you mean. I have tried a few other instructors, but so far I haven't found any others that I like. So for now it's just Cathe for me!

    First visit to Podiatrist - What should I expect?

    Orthotics do work! I got my first pair about 12 years ago because of plantar fascitis caused by heel spurs and they made the pain go away completely until recently, so on Tuesday I got my second pair because the first pair had worn out. I'm expecting this pair to work just as well. Also my...

    Hi all! Wow a date Liberty, that must be nerve wracking after 10 years! Cool though too! Forensics sounds really interesting. Lisa, I can't believe you can get up that early to workout! That would never happen for me. So how many points is the desert? I'm the same way, once I eat sugar I...

    Not in such great shape check-in? Anyone interested?

    Lisa, I didn't actually get to go to my weight watchers meeting last Thursday because I was stuck at work, but my scale at home said I didn't lose anything at all this week. It sucks, so I know how you feel. So do you go to the actual meetings or do you do ww online? I know exactly what...

    Liberty, Congratulations on going back to college! Your boys sound so wonderfully supportive! How cute and sweet! What are you planning on taking? Have you looked into grants and student loans yet? I had a student loan for my college and it really wasn't too bad paying it back. Also once I...

    Congratulations on your purchase Liberty! Let us know what you think. I have Slow & Heavy. They're good workouts, but the slow pace can get a little tedious. Cathe says to only do it for 3-4 weeks in a row because the slow pace can be hard to do for a long time. I do like the series though...

    Not in such great shape check-in? Anyone interested?

    Hi Lisa, I'm so excited for you to start STS, and a little jealous too! It sounds like you're all prepared for it with your equipment and weights. I'm sure moving those weights did qualify for a workout! I actually preorderd that series while I was pregnant and then I had my son and reality...

    Not in such great shape check-in? Anyone interested?

    Oh, and you were asking about the difference between members and Cathletes. It goes according to how many posts you have posted. You start as a member and then become a Cathlete, but I'm not sure how many posts before you become a Cathlete. And I think there are other names too for when you have...

    Not in such great shape check-in? Anyone interested?

    Good morning everyone and welcome Lisa! So Lisa you're 4 years younger than me with an 18 year old and I have an almost 2 year old! I got started late! You'll have to let us know how you like STS strength. I've been tempted to buy that series, but I don't think I have the time to dedicate to...

    can't walk

    This had me laughing so hard! There are 2 kinds of potty DOMS, the kind you're talking about (that's what those puffy seats are for!) and the pain in the quads from getting up and down from the toilet!

    Bonus DOMS from MMA fusion

    I did MMA fusion for the first time the other day and had DOMS in my lats, rhomboids, mid and lower back, so entire back for 2 days! I was lovin' it because I hardly ever get DOMS in my back muscles and don't even like to do back workouts because of that, so it was an unexpected surprise that...

    MMA Fusion??

    Fusion is the only one of the three that I've done and I thought it was alot of fun. It's a little different which made it interesting. I couldn't even do most of the second combo (the one down on the floor), so that's something to work towards. The cardio definitely isn't as tough as CCC or the...

    Low Max and Kick Max questions

    The only cardio in KM that are low impact are the kick/punch combos and a couple of the blasts. The kick/punch combos are only about 20 minutes.

    working out with DOMS

    Thanks for the replies! Hmmm...I could go snowshoeing for my cardio. Maybe I'll do that. I'm not so much thinking that I shouldn't do cardio with sore glutes I was just thinking about side kicks and the hammer down, squat things that Cathe does in kickboxing because they involve the glutes...
