Hi Kim I have done the legs & shoulders and the chest and back workouts so far in the Slow and Heavy. I think these workouts are an excellent addition to one's rotations. I am very muscular though and am a little concerned that I will get even bigger (which my boyfriend wants to do at this...

RE: I am with Debbie I know I would not get the same workout in 3 ten minute spurts as I do with one 30 minute workout but for the people who are currently sedentary, it is a way to get them up and moving and it can only be beneficial to them. When it comes to burning fat or increasing one's...

RE: Hi Rena Thanks Rena. First of all, I did 43 pushups with no rest and then did sets of 10 in various positions until I hit 103. And yes, they are always done on my toes. I think quite a few people on this forum can do at least 40 pushups (and more) all at once. I think Cathe once said...

RE: Labour Day check in Hi everyone Labour Day is one of the few stat holidays that Canadians and the United States acknowledge on the same day. Aimee, it sounds to me like you know what you are doing and that you have formulated your own plan. Go with it and do what you know since I...

RE: Hello Amy I also work in an area where people can see my monitor when they walk by and the minimize button works well I find. :) Actually, I don't have to worry too much because my internet time at work never amounts to more than 10 or 15 minutes in a day. I work as a legal secretary for...

RE: I am guilty and that is where I am right now. I don't do it often though because I am so busy at work and really cannot find the time most often. Coffee breaks and down time are the stolen moments here and there. I work at a law firm too and had better get back at it. Kim

RE: House Renovations Hi Debra and thanks. Actually, my workouts suffered a bit because of getting so much into my house stuff, however, I did forget to eat as much as I usually wolf down and lost a few pounds and my jeans are now a bit looser. Gotta love that! And, about the local men, I...

RE: Hi Gretchen You are right, it was not my first and I did it 1:24 which is 8 minutes slower than 2 years ago (the event was cancelled last year and that was fine because I had a pulled hamstring) but everyone's time was slower this year because of a cross wind on the bike part. Some excuse...

RE: Freeze, Breeze & Wheeze Hi everyone Today was the triathlon day and I had not even rode my bike or swam until today at the tri! Silly I know but I got 1st in my age category and I believe 3rd overall of the women. What a rush! And, yesterday, I went in a canoe race (5 km) with my date...

RE: Hi Debbie The triathlon is one of those mini ones. The swim is .5 km, the bike 20 km (have not biked once yet!) and the run is 6 km (4km totally uphill and 2 down). I will be winging it this year. Finishing it will be no problem - getting a better time than 2 years ago will be the tricky...

RE: I am with you Amy I usually stay away from the posts that may turn controversial, however, the idea that cardiovascular training is useless and/or bad for you is total hogwash. Good grief - what next? As Amy said, fitness involves 3 components - cardiovascualar training, weight training...

RE: Working vacation Hi Debra I guess you could say that since I am on holidays from my job but I sure have been working hard nevertheless. It seems that if I do not work out first thing in the morning, I am too wiped to do it later on in the day. I have even been forgetting to eat (which...

RE: Reno! Good one. I am sure my brother and father who live in Vegas would not mind having me a little closer but...no such luck. Kim

RE: it really depends on the workout one is doing. For PS Series, I go 55# for a bench press but down to 40 for MIS and Powerhour. I haven't done the Slow and Heavy series yet. On biceps, I go 45# with PS and 40 for MIS and 30 for Powerhour. On triceps OH for PS (if I do that one along with...

RE: house reno land Hi guys Soon, there will be no trace of my ex-husband's smoking (or presence) at all in my house! (This was a man who smoked 2 packs a day and burned my carpet in my bedroom many many times with a cigarette because of his refusal to not smoke and fall asleep while...

RE: This post inspired me to do Bodymax yesterday! and I always find it such an awesome workout. Kim

RE: house renovations - wallpaper removal sucks! LAST EDITED ON Aug-13-01 AT 09:30AM (Est)[p]Hi everyone As of Friday, I finally got all of my wallpaper scraped off my walls in anticipation of the painter coming in tomorrow. I have never put wallpaper up and never would and now have this idea...

RE: Glad to hear it I have a friend who swears by Evening Primrose Oil and will be keeping that in mind when the time comes. I also think that you cannot go wrong with the soy approach. Kim

RE: I got mine last Thursday! and so far have only managed to do Power Hour. CK Sales is great and they will get them to you very quickly. Kim

Hi everyone Honeybunch - I always wonder about HRT. Our bodies are meant to go through menopause just as we went through puberty, etc. and so I wonder if tinkering too much with nature is a good thing or not. Ask me when it is happening to me and I might have a different story but I think if...
