    body bar instead of barbell

    i have a body bar and a barbell and honestly. if i had to pick one it would be hands down the barbell. storage is a pain and set up is a pain but you can add weight and lower weight by adding plates. i use a lighter weight for arms and a heavier weight for leggs. there is a reason cathe uses...

    Not losing weight?!!

    In Tosca's book she stresses that it is a way of life and not a temporary thing. Not a diet. If you've ever read, Oxygen magazine you'll find most of the information that is in her book there. The book goes into great detail. Honestly, it pretty much gives you all the healthy eating advice...

    Not losing weight?!!

    hi ellie, . . yeah i know the bootcamp rotation is killer crazy, . .not to mention it takes a lot of time of your day. i've had to split up the workouts to twice a day and wake up at 6am then do the other half at 9pm when the kids are alseep. it is tough stuff. i'm not familiar with weight...

    basic step

    if you have imax, . . then i'm thinking that basic step will be way to slow paced for you. the beats per minute are slowed down considerably. i've never tried pure step but with any and all cathe workout dvd's i find that the more you do it the better you will get. a lot of her moves are the...

    high step challenge

    beth i have to warn you muscle endurance is no walk in the park either. i actually find muscle max easier but what you can do with both is just work at your own pace. use a weight that works for you and use the premixes.

    Workout Shoes/Feet

    hello. i had a similar problem. i've always enjoyed running and step aerobics. then one day while i was training for a mini marathon the ball of my right foot and the middle toes started to get a burning numbing feeling. i couldn't jogg past my 5th mile. i tried buying all sorts of...

    ROSIE ON THE VIEW

    hmmm, . . sorry i'd have to dissagree. being a second generation american with parents that were born and raised in a third world country i think that the media Rosie included causes unecessary bitterness for all the greatness that our country has to offer. i don't expect anyone who has never...

    high step challenge

    "I need something that will tone me up without adding bulk and that does not fatigue my legs so much with the running" Adding weight training has definitely not fatigued me while running. As a matter of fact I run better, faster, and longer. I think that there is this huge misconception...

    Not losing weight?!!

    Check your diet. Sometimes when people work out for an hour 5 days a week they think it gives them free range to eat whatever they want. Clean eating is the way to go. I would also ditch the scale and judge how much weight you've lost by using a pair of pants that you want to get into. Muscle...

    High Step challenge is one of my favorite workouts and covers everything from cardio and weights, . . mixing everything up to keep the body working. I love it but if you are looking for more of a muscle weight training workout I would highly recomend muscle endurance- you'll find it with the...

    ROSIE ON THE VIEW

    i think you can be opinionated about whatever you want to be opinionated about but it doesn't make it true and quite frankly i think what makes everything that comes out of rosie's mouth verbal diarrhea is her delivery. it seems like everytime she's talking she's screaming.

    ROSIE ON THE VIEW

    i'm with donna on this one. she is so rude. i think it's okay to be opinionated heck i have opinions too but my goodness let us be civil about it. i think that rosie thinks that the louder and more obnoxious she is the more people will listen to her, . . total napolean complex if you ask me.

    Garmin forerunner 305

    thanks ady. you know i agree. i've always had trouble calabrating pedometers for stride length. i guess common sense would actually dictate that your stride length would vary depending on how tired you are and the terrain of the trail which would make the data unreliable. darn it, . . it...
