    IIRC each step segment in 4D's is 30 min in length. HTH!

    What is your fall-back workout?

    Low Impact Circuit - cardio premix is my fall back step workout and CTX: Power Circuits is my other fall back workout. I usually do that one and intersperse the PC cardio with all the other weight sections in CTX. Makes for a nice 90 min or so workout!

    what is your favorite Cathe warmup segment?

    Fun question, Ann! I love the warm up from Maximum Intensity Strength and the warm up from CTX: Power Circuits. Both are so much fun! Not sure what it is about them that I like, but they make me happy :D

    Need help with cookware

    I have the same set- LOVE it! I also have a set from KitchenAid that is very much like my Pampered Chef Professional set. No problems with either set and I use them a lot!

    Quick capitalization question

    I would bring it up to the teacher or to the principal. Bad teachers shouldn't be allowed to teach! :eek: Grammar is a "hot button" issue with me. In my workplace the people I supervise are in their 20's and have the WORST grammar (written and verbal) skills I have ever been witness to. It's...

    Quick capitalization question

    The teacher is wrong!! Only if your daughter had written. "Mom and I went to Burger King." or "Then Mom and I went to Burger King.", would you capitalize "mom". You might want to give that teacher some grammar lessons. ;)

    4DS vs CTX vs Timesaver

    Your decision may depend on what kind of weight work you want. CTX uses light weights(not too light but lighter) where as 4D's uses heavier weights. I LOVE CTX, it is my favorite series but I also like 4D's. I don't think you can go wrong with either series. HTH! Happy shopping! :)

    need help choosing a heart rate monitor

    I have owned my Polar F4 for at least 6 years and use it almost every day, sometimes more than once a day. I have had to have my watch battery changed 3 times. However, I have never shipped it off to Polar for them to install a new battery. Twice I took it to the local sports store and the last...

    Strength Training only twice a week

    You should definitely try MIS! It's a very thorough, well-thought out workout. It reminds me of Muscle Max a little bit. The warm up is done on the step-which is fun and gets your heart rate up, then you do all the lower body work, then you move on to upper body. It goes quickly, like Muscle...

    work commute

    I drive 27 miles to and from work. It's all county roads and is about a 40 min. commute-each way. I love my job so I'm willing to drive the miles. However, I when I lived "in the big city" I was about 10 miles from work and it took me 40-45 min.

    Anyone had cortizone injections?

    I've had 2 cortisone shots in my lower spine for a bulged disc & snyovial cyst at my L4-L5. The actual cortisone shots didn't hurt-I did feel some pressure down my leg though but apparenlty that's a good thing. There is an initial sting when they put the numbing stuff in before the actual shot...
