Also want to thank you, Sarah, for obliging us with all our questions!! :) :)

Sarah, you look awesome!! :o :) SO inspirational. Do you mind if I ask you approx. how heavy you lift? I need a goal here. :7

Shannon, since you are already contemplating veganism..maybe the Eat to Live plan would be good for you? That's the plan that Carole follows. There's a thread about it on the front page right now. I've read the book and was impressed, though I am doing another program so I can't fully...

Thanks, Tracy. I like your strategy. :)

I'm especially interested in portions for maintenance. I'm in the process of losing weight and I'm currently following the Jenny Craig program so it's all set out for me, no problems. But I need to keep the weight off, so when I gradually return to regular food, I'd like to know what I'm doing...

Bumping for Shannon. I'm vegetarian too and would be interested in any advice you get. :)

I just booked a facial and haircut (at a nice salon) later this month for my 20th birthday..that's going to be really nice. That's my dad's birthday gift to me. :) Regularly, I don't do a whole lot. I've had facials before..they're always very enjoyable. I usually do my own french manicure..I...

If you have a Sephora store in your area, you may be able to get some there..the product wouldn't necessarily be cheaper, but you won't have to pay for shipping. http://www.sephora.com/help/stores/

Can anyone tell me how KickMax compares to KPC?..especially choreography wise..easier or harder?..

I have Kick, Punch, and Crunch and really like it. Personally, I find the choreography in it to be easier than Cathe's step workouts, but the intensity is just as high. :)

Hi everyone. I'm Kathleen. Originally from CA, but go to college in New York. I'm almost 20 years old (less than a month!) I go to school full-time, work in retail part-time. I love classic rock music. I normally workout at home, but college=no space, so I just joined the gym. :)

Shannon, A bosu is kind of like half a stability ball w/ a flat plastic bottom. You can do corework on it like the stability ball but it won't move or roll because of the flat plastic. I believe you can also turn it upside down and use the plastic side to do balance exercises on.

You can use Diet Coke as a mixer; ie: rum and Diet Coke.

The elliptical gets my heartrate up much faster than the treadmill. I can go at a comfortable pace on the elliptical whereas on the treadmill, I have to jog to get the same effect (and I'm not much of a runner).

So, even if I go to the max with the weight, do I really need to add more exercises? I thought what the trainer had set up was overly simplistic..but I'm also pressed for time, so the idea of a short routine is appealing so that I can combine it with all the fitness classes I'm taking.

What she set up was basically: Arm extensions (triceps), 3 sets, 12-15 reps Chest press (chest, 3 sets, 12-15 reps Bicep curls (biceps), 3 sets, 12-15 reps Seated row (back), 3 sets, 12-15 reps Lateral raises (shoulders), 3 sets 12-15 reps I always heard that 3 exercises per body part...

I just recently joined the gym and me and a friend met for a free session with a trainer and she set up a routine for arms with one exercise for each muscle group, 3 sets of 12-15 reps each. Is this enough to see results? My friend told her that we basically wanted to stay toned, which is...

Hi Laurie, Thanks for asking. :) We just went tonight. Wow..we really liked it..worked up a great sweat. People weren't kidding about those seats being hard..ouch!!..the first 2 minutes on that seat and I didn't know how my bum was going to make it an hour. :o Definately going to look into...

Thanks Dukechick and juniorjet, I'm excited about this, should be fun. :)

So, me and a friend just joined the gym today and we want to try out all the different classes. Our gym offers a beginners spin class but it doesn't fit into our schedule..would we be making a big mistake to go straight into the regular class that's an hour long? I think it'll actually be...
