    Any comparable dvd's to KPC?

    I KNOW! 'Tis the season for me. You know how it is. ;) How are you? I love Tracy's CKBC too. It has a huge cal burn & the choreo is very very simple & easy to follow. This is one of my favorites when I want to work up a good sweat without having to think. :cool:

    Atkins diet

    I don't really pay attention to fat. Really the only fat I'm getting is in the meat & PB, & it's generally the "healthy" kind of fat. You're good w/the proteins you mentioned. The only thing I used to count is carbs, but by now I know what foods to eat to keep it around 50-75 carbs a day (I'm...

    Any comparable dvd's to KPC?

    My favorite is MMA fusion. I love that workout. I usually pair it w/MMA KB to get the full cal burn. You also might want to check out Cardio Kicks. It's an oldie but goodie. If you're interested in other instructors, I really really love Tracey Staehle's Strike Zone & Cardio Kickbox...

    Has anyone seen this step bench?

    You know, in looking at it closely it still looks too small. The problem is I've been stepping for so long my feet are just used to a certain size, & I'm afraid if I worked out on something smaller I'd misstep & break an ankle. I really wish someone would make something like this in full club...

    Has anyone seen this step bench?

    Yes! I think that's it, thanks Marta! I'd checked Reebok's site but couldn't find it. How did you find it? Nan, I saw it on Rebecca Small's FB page. Yes, it is like the Step 360, but its bigger. I have the 360 & just couldn't use it for step w/os, it was too small, although I do use it...

    Atkins diet

    I've been doing Atkins for years. The original, Atkins for Life, is really good. It explains to you the chemistry & why the diet works so well. Also almost the entire second half of the book is recipes, which helps. A typical day for me is a couple hardboiled eggs in the morning, a giant...

    Has anyone seen this step bench?

    I am dying to have it. DYING I tell you. I tried every combination of words in google I could think of & came up w/nothing. I'd love some help!

    I have found the best online dating site in the world

    www.fitness-singles.com For my fellow single Cathletes. I found the guys on match.com to be generally unattractive & pretty creepy, so I gave up on it after a month. I tried this site b/c I figured I'd meet guys with whom I'd have at least one thing in common. Honestly I thought it'd be a...

    Has anyone gotten eyeliner tattoo?

    Good point Carol. I was thinking the same thing. The fading has stopped & it still looks pretty good. I was down the shore last week & went without makeup almost the entire time. The touch up is next Thursday (god help me LOL), so I'll give you another update in 2 weeks.

    Help!!! Any attorneys in the gym?

    Hey Alisha--I'm not an attorney but I work for municipal govmt. I agree w/pretty much everything Lorrie said, except that I would start w/your town/county's zoning officer. They'll be able to tell you whether the equestrian center is a permitted use. If it's not they'll need to apply for a...

    9 Most Embarrassing Exercises

    The original article was kind of strange. Squats are embarassing? Huh? I do go to a gym & I don't feel embarassed when I'm doing leg extensions & curls. The only exercise they listed that I might find embarassing is the hip lift. That would be if I gave a crap what anyone thought of me at...

    favorite weight training

    Heavy splits for me as well. I can't build muscle doing circuit workouts. I just don't have the genetics. Although I do incorporate some endurance exercises into my routine, esp. w/legs.

    Star magazine stab at fit women

    The most recent pic I saw of Madonna was not pretty. She looked anorexic. I'd guess her bodyfat to be around 5-6%. Not healthy or attractive. But I think Cameron Diaz is fab. We're the same age & I love she's still rockin her bod. And I totally agree w/Jennifer when it comes to models...

    Out of proportion, looking for suggestios

    That is a great article, thanks Julie. I'm on vacation as of tomorrow & I plan on spending some time on the beach w/some books & articles to put together a whole new lifting routine. I'll def. be using some of this guy's stuff. But I cannot believe he put wires & electrodes in his undies...

    Out of proportion, looking for suggestios

    OK so my deal is I was born w/this genetic defect. I believe the medical term is assless. For over 20 years now I've been trying to build my butt into that perfect round shape Cathe has. I have been completely unsuccessful. Well, maybe not completely, I have a little shape, but more on the...

    Younger looking skin, facial fillers, any recommendations?

    Hydroquinine. Paula sells that too. I think it's around $10 a tube. And, of course, lasers, if you have the big bucks. ;)

    Difference betw. ladies' & "unisex" HRM?

    Interesting. I googled & got pretty much the same answers. But the difference is almost 100 cals. Could it be the heat? I do seem to have to work harder when it's this hot out, but I also seem to recall a recent article in one of Cathe's newsletters that said you burned less cals in the...

    Difference betw. ladies' & "unisex" HRM?

    Is there a difference in accuracy? I'm curious b/c I had a very expensive unisex Polar F12. It crapped out on me & I just got a cheaper ladies' Polar F4. The cheaper HRM is reading my cals burned much higher than the expensive one. I'm wondering if the unisex HRM, which is really for men...

    Has anyone gotten eyeliner tattoo?

    OK, here's my update. It's been about 1.5 weeks since I've had it done & I'm happy but not thrilled. First off, holy mother of god did that hurt! It did take about 2 hours. I can't say it's as painful as the laser treatments I've had, but it was extremely uncomfortable & went on for a...
