Hi Cathe. I know you won't exactly know the answer to this question until you've started filming the workouts, but is the planned impact level of these workouts expected to be similar to any of your other workouts? I see the descriptions say "multi impact", but is it possible to make a loose...

I must have read the same article as NY25 because I saw nothing at all about anyone making fun of her. What I read said she was offered some kind of fitness modeling contract, but that she had to add 50 more pounds of muscle and that she was encouraged to take steroids. She chose not to do...

There are probiotics out there that have more than 1 billion units of the bacteria. The one I've been using has 10B of a single strain. The higher the number, the better. I read an article that likened taking 1B or less to "putting out a fire with a squirt gun". Shelbygirl

I don't take a fiber supplement, but I do take one pro-biotic pill a day and it does wonders. It's also an immune system booster (since it restores the good bacteria in your gut). I've been surrounded by sick people for the past three weeks and haven't had so much as a sniffle. Great stuff...

I also have herniated discs in my lower back and opted not to have surgery. For squats, I no longer use heavy weights. I use moderate (or sometimes light) weights and do them against the wall with a stability ball. I was shown this version in PT and it works great for me. Shelbygirl

I have this exact same thing happen to me! My supporting leg gives out long before the working leg. I have to take several little breaks to give the supporting leg a break. I can't imagine using ankle weights, though. I think I'd collapse on the third rep! Shelbygirl

I believe Omega 6 can cause inflamation and that Omega 9 is not an essential fatty acid (because the body can produce it on it's own from other fatty acids consumed). I take only Omega 3. *As for supplements, I take (and let me know if something is missing/should be taken out): ~Omega...

I went from having coffee every day to just having it on weekends. During the week I drink green tea in the mornings. I've heard that peppermint helps with headaches, so I drink strong peppermint in the afternoons. I never really had any withdrawal symptoms (other then being a bit more...

Your husband bought you one of the best spin bikes out there, so try not to worry about how weird it looks. It's supposed to be extremely low maintenance. Enjoy it!

I actually went out and bought a spin bike because of this DVD. Now I want more!! Shelbygirl

Hello. By any chance does anyone here have a Best Fitness BFSB10 spin bike? If yes, do you like it? I'm looking to get a spin bike and I found this one, but I can't find many reviews of it. Thanks! Shelbygirl

I'd be happy to have answers from anyone at all who has an opinion... I'm looking to get a spin bike and was wondering how important it was for the bike to have a rim around the flywheel? For example, it looks like all the Star Tracs have the rim, but the LeMond Revmaster bikes do not...

It's funny you mentioned the LeMond RevMaster Pro and Sport. I actually just tried out both of these at a local fitness store and I LOVED them (especially the Pro). I suspect now that I've seen these, it's going to be hard to select something less. Another one I tried that seemed really solid...

Thanks for the responses and links. I appreciate your help. I am finding spin bike shopping to be a bit overwhelming. (I bought my car quicker!). One question I have is which is better - a chain or belt drive?

Okay, time to "'fess up". How many of you bought a spin bike when you heard about Cycle Max? For those of you who did get one (or already have one), what kind did you get? I'm looking and could use some suggestions for a solid, low maintenance spin bike. Thanks, Shelbygirl

Hi Cathe/SNM. I purchased my tower years ago but am embarrassed to say I never put it together until today. (I finally was motivated by the new Barre workout). It seems kind of wobly, but I understand that is supposed to be normal. My question is, what length screws are being used for the...

Thanks, Ellie. I'll probably try Athletic Training next. I actually have the glide disks (so I don't need to try paper plates). I just have to get a rug to throw over my rubber flooring.

I figured that until I really learn the choreography, I'll use just one riser (otherwise I'll probably hurt myself when I'm tripping on the step). I found the first three combos to be pretty doable on the first try, but I got completely lost with the fourth combo. (I'm talking three moves in...

Hello. Out of the following new workouts, which use the gliding discs the least? Athletic Training After Burn Cardio Supersets I'm not yet set up to use the discs (need to get a carpet to toss down first). Thanks, Shelbygirl

I definitely have that problem with Nyquil. It will keep me up all night. Even "Sleepy Tea" keeps me up. Coffee has it's normal, expected effect though. Shelbygirl
