Hi Cathe! I have a couple general questions: I am in week 4 of the 3-month STS/LIS rotation. I have seen the scale jump 4 lbs from this past Monday, and this past Monday, I was up 1 lb on the scale from the previous Monday, for a grand total of 5 lbs gained since starting this rotation...

Hi Cynthia, Question about the body bugg: I have one but I let my subscription expire. Will the iPhone app let you track your calories burned without a subscription or can you only use the body bugg if you continue to pay for the expensive subscription?

I pre-ordered: couldn't resist. I can't imagine a workout being harder than Afterburn, as Afterburn already gets my heart rate into the 180's a few times! Although I'm pleased that these workouts will have multi-impact, as I think that is a more balanced workout. Still hoping she announces a...

I did this premix and burned 600, with a maximum heart rate of 185! And I once was skeptical of an "advanced" low impact series: I was wrong. Both this and Afterburn get my heart rate into the 180s, something that not even IMAX 3 or Intensity can do.

Thanks! My next STS workout is not until two weeks from now (next week the weight work is all from LIS, followed by the active recovery week). I'm really tempted to skip the active recovery week(s) because I want to finish the rotation before the Chicago RT. However, I fear if I don't take...

Step Blast instead of Low Impact Challenge , which was my scheduled workout in the STS/LIS 3-month rotation. Sometimes I need fun, high-impact goodness and this one fit the bill: heart rate even got as high as 187 during the blasts (a record for me)!

I've also read those reviews, too re: the difficulty of adjusting the 4-lb gloves as opposed to the 2-lb gloves. However, I want the 4 lb ones because I don't think 1 lb in each hand will be enough for me. For instance, last night I was doing the overhead tricep extensions, thinking the 12 lbs...

How do you like the gloves? Are they easy to adjust? I have read some reviews that say they are difficult to adjust. That being said, I went ahead and ordered the 4 lb gloves from Amazon (I had a gift certificate so they only cost me $11 including shipping!). I started the STS/LIS 3-month...

Hello all, I'm almost at the end of my 3rd week of the 3-month STS/LIS rotation: this is the first time I've ever done STS. I have not been doing the one rep maximums, however I'm very good at determining what weight I use and I'm usually spot on, although I do occasionally adjust my weights...

I wish I knew why this happens. On Tuesday, I did Plyo Legs and got DOMS the next day, too, while other times I do leg workouts, it takes 2 days to get them. I would say I get DOMS more often after 2 days than after 1. I can't compare it to when I was younger because I did not exercise as...

I did STS Disc 25 (chest and back) on Monday and felt DOMS in my chest on Tuesday. I did not get DOMS in my back until Wednesday. I thought it was very weird that while I worked both the chest and back at the same time, I did not get DOMS at the same time.

I too feel your pain: I'm 5'4" and had to return some workout pants I bought from Feel Fit Wear recently, as they were way too long and to hem them would mean to ruin the design on the cuffs of the pants. SO frustrating.

CCC also kills me. Others that kill me: Afterburn, Maximum Intensity Cardio, Intensity, the HiiT's (especially 40/20: yikes!), and IMAXes.

I'm arriving in Milwaukee on Thursday night at 5:55 pm: I would love to share a shuttle with someone but it seems like most people are flying into Chicago.

Yes, my tummy is flat. Got the procedure here in Vegas, Dr. Sullivan. I had the tummy tuck with lipo, breast lift and implants all at the same time, all of which cost $12,000. I don't remember what it would cost just to get the tummy tuck. Recovery took about 2 weeks, but keep in mind that...

I'm also in, #30! Yay! Question: does anyone know how late the shuttle from the Philly airport to the hotels runs? I'm flying from Vegas, and the flight I want to book won't arrive until Thursday night at 11:55 pm! I'm thinking that may be too late to catch a shuttle and I may need to hail...

I've also had a tummy tuck - had it in 2000 after losing over 100 lbs (no children). I gained back that weight years later but lost it all again: tummy tuck results remained. :) Still, the thinnest my waist has ever been is 28. I also had lipo and a breast lift in 2000, too. While recovery...

After 6 kids that's pretty good? That's fabulous! I've had NO kids and my waist is still approximately 28 inches and has never been smaller, even when I was in the military! I guess I just don't have the genetics to be smaller.

Hoping I see you, too, Deb: assuming I'm one of the lucky 105 who get in.
