    Just finished a good book...

    I was ready to give up at one point, too! I thougt , this is so gloomy & going nowhere! But, I decided to plow ahead & turned out out to be really interesting story. Give it one more try.

    Just finished a good book...

    I like Kristin Hannah too I recently read her latest one> Winter Garden. It's really good, starts a bit slow, but keep going -- story within a story that I found really riveting. (actually liked the embedded story better than the "real" one). I just finished Blood Vines by Erica...

    2 Things I wish on Step Moves...

    1. In lieu of putting all the combos together at the end, I'd rather have a 4th combo added to stave off boredom & repetition of the same moves. 2. A good old fashioned, fun cooldown segment -- maybe 3 minutes -- as much as I try not to let it bother me, I am increasingly annoyed w/most of...

    T. Staehle's Cardio KB Challenge rave

    I did this today & I have to say that I just loved it! I was so surprised since I haven't been able to really connect to any of her workouts, even though i like her style, I really want to like the workouts... This one had a great flow and was really fun & hard. Liked the variety of...

    Anyone find that some of the 1RM's are too high?

    This is my 2nd time round, but... both times, I found this true only for Meso 1 -- for me it's because of the sheer number of reps (15!), sets & fast pace. As I moved onto M2 & M3, I found myself really wanting to push & go higher in weight -- with the reps being less and a slower pace I...

    MMA workout fave?

    For some reason I'm having a hard time getting into these workouts, so I was wondering: What is your favorite one of the three (most fun, effective,etc.) and why? And/or, What do you like/dislike about each one? Thanks for your input!

    I Miss Cathe

    I agree... she hasn't been on the foums like she used to...I guess she's on FB & Twitter instead. I , too, miss her on the forums! On another note: Your dog looks EXACTLY like my dearly departed dog,Shana. She was half greyhoud/half yellow lab. What kind of dog is yours?

    LIS/HIS Double Cardio revisited...

    I have to say that while it took me several tries to master HIS & LIS I was still able to get a good workout. Some parts I'd just sub a similar more familiar move while watching the crew or I'd skip back & repeat. Eventually I "got" it & both are now my faves! Just keep trying. It's worth it.

    LIS/HIS Double Cardio revisited...

    I just did this premix today after not having done in a long time. I now remember why I loved this series so much! The music just rocks and moves are so fun w/o being too complicated! Had a great workout! I have to say the music in these workouts are much more motivating & fun TO ME than...

    Got my FBC Step today!

    Of course, I had literally just finished StepMoves (was right in the middle of stretch when UPS man knocked!). I'll review in the next few days! Anyone else order the new step?

    New Cathe Step

    As far as I know, yes, the risers fit all regular club size steps.

    New Cathe Step

    THat's why I'm not getting rid of my old one until I've had the new one for awhile. Old is somtimes better quality....You should really return the step w/peeling mat...that's not right. My high step started doing that after I used it for some time (but not before use!), but I don't really use...

    New Cathe Step

    I wondered the same thing. Hoping the shock absorption is better & rubber matting has more grip. I did end up ordering new step though. I, too, have had the original STEP (w/pink/purple risers) forEVER, probably abt 15 (maybe even more??) years!! Mine is still going, but lately have...

    Need sports bra recs for cardio...

    Yea, I get alot of wokout pants & tanks there, but the only bras they carry aren't supportive enough & they flatten my bust. I like the more molded cups (not underwire, but they hae a sort of lift). Thanks for the info though...

    2 or 4 lb weighted gloves?

    Definitely the 4lb gloves... The 2 lb ones are open palm so I had to wear my regular padded gloves underneath, plus the thumbs are not reinforced very well & mine have now begun to rip. The newer ones are much more versatile and easier to load & unload weights. I find myself really micro...

    Need sports bra recs for cardio...

    I'd love to find a tank with a built in bra that really has good support. Most of the ones I have don't offer the support I need so I just use them on weight days. The only bra that really works for me is no longer available. (The Champion high motion control with adjustable cami straps --...

    Strength Gloves

    The gloves run WAY small - since there is absolutely no sizing info on the site I just ordered a Small (usually wear Sm/Med). They literally look like a kids glove! I contacted CS & rep said that they are small on her, too . They are sending me another pair & she was great, but what a pain...

    Travel Fit = No Sweat? (Or...Has Insanity Ruined Me??)

    I think of this as the perfect travel fitness companion -- something to get you moving on vacation/travel when you don't have all your usual equipment (step, weights, etc.) & time, but want to keep up your fitness routine. Just stick the DVD & band in your bag & go! I think TF combined with...

    MMA Boxing ?

    Are you guys using weighted gloves in this workout? Can't tell if Cathe's gloves are weighted or just wrapped. Thanks.

    brazillian butt lift

    Can I use BBL as my lower body w.o.? Since I rarely do heavyweight leg workouts anymore (they bulk me up in thigh area & I just don't enjoy them), I was thinking of subbing some of the BBL wos for the Legs in STS cardio/strength rotation. What do you guys think?? I really want to use these...
