I will not miss a 'scheduled' workout. Many of my friends think I'm mad...and all of them say 'it's not as if you'll put weight on by missing ONE workout'...but what gets me is that they assume that weight loss/maintenance is the only reason to workout. So it got me thinking...if you had to list...

If it makes you feel any better, I lift FAR less in gym styles than in any other workout. For chest flys, i just can't cope with my normal weight! I started with 12s, but now can cope with 25s for GS...so you WILL get there. But I found Gym Styles far harder than any other workout, and still...

I tried the gum...but found that I was SO bloated from that, so I found mint tea helps quite a bit. I have a mint blend which is three types of mint, which tastes nicer and also seems to help quite a lot too. This probably isn't convenient, but if I have a spasm, if I ask someone to knead my...

Personally, I think none of the premixes are QUITE the same as the HIIt DVD itself, but I think they come close: I think that the blast only premix of all the Imaxes are definitely up there CCC cardio only premix DEFINITELY The Drill Max Cardio segments aren't really intense enough in my...

I have just finished my first tripos exam (first year of law at Cambridge - our exams have funny names!) and am SO excited to start being able to plan my exercise in excrutiating detail again! During my exams, I did the Asylum rotation, and am SO glad I did. It gave me something to focus on...

Thank you Karen for your lovely response. I have spent too long having doctors not believe me...I will not let them intimidate me anymore! thanks so much for your encouragement. Zoe xxx

Hello, has anyone heard of this? It matches my symptoms exactly. After practically every meal (except certain foods, mostly vegetables, lean protein and nuts and oats) I 'regurgitate' my food... I thought it was almost chronic vomiting, and the doctors seem VERY reluctant to help me at all. I...

Thank you for your replies. I will definitely try some tea. I am at University, and I spend the whole day in the library reading, so I find that reading before I go to bed doesn't relax me. However, I will give it another try, in combination with some herbal tea. Thank you all for your...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any of you find it hard (or even impossible) to sleep when you have worked out REALLY hard that day...whether it is in the morning or the evening. For example, Insanity/Asylum/STS hard. I feel like my heart rate is still sky high, but when I take my pulse...

Thanks for telling me the weights :) I used 15s for everything except chest, which I used 20s for. I am LOVING Asylum too. It's definitely more fun than Insanity....but still very hard (in a good way...it's good pain!). I have only done Speed and Agility, the Fit test, and Strength...but...

Has anyone done 'Strength' yet? And if so, what weight dumbbell did you use? I'm SO excited about this one...I'm doing it later tonight :)

Thanks so much Jane! That's wonderful :) I'm excited to try some of them now :) (well not NOW... just completed Insanity Max Interval Circuit.. maybe I'll wait until the morning ;) ) :)

Hi everyone :) I have a couple of kettlebell questions... 1) Does anyone have the vinyl kettlebells? I have a 25 lb vinyl kettlebell and it's MASSIVE... and very difficult to do cleans with. Has anybody got any tips? 2) Could you please tell me any kettlebell circuits you do (write down the...

Oooh :) 1) HIIT 30/30 2) Insanity Pure Cardio 3) Circuit Blast 4) Cardio Core Circuit 5) Amy Bento Kickbox Surge 6) HIIT double wave 7) Imax 2 8) Imax 3 9) Drill Max 10) STS strength

For those of you who do kettlebells... can I ask what weight you tend to use?

I absolutely LOVE the gym styles. There are lots of push ups... but there is a lot of other stuff too. With chest, you rarely get more than bench press and flies, then the same on incline: Gym style has all this. And I LOVE the pace of these dvds, keeps your working hard. I also get great result...

Hello :) It's lovely to be one here! It's the first time in over a month! I am really busy at university... but fortunately, the terms aren't too long, so I should be home for the holidays soon, and then I can be back lurking on here all the time :) I hope to lurk around a bit more...

I think I only eat 'super clean'. My diet... every day... consists of: Breakfast: Oats, fat free greek yoghurt and nuts Snack: Apple and almond butter Lunch: Peppers, broccoli and either steamed white fish or steamed chicken Snack: Peppers, yoghurt and peanut butter POst workout...

Oh, and Thank you for all the Good Luck everyone :)

Yes, Kathryn, I'm from England :) I am going far away, but I'll be back after 8 weeks, for a couple of weeks, and then go again. i think that sounds sensible, to pack them up according to rotations :) I think I shall do that. As for putting them on my computer.. how do I put a dvd on my...
