Been here since the forums started around 1998-99. Love seeing some of the "old timers" popping in on this thread :D

You're welcome!! I received my dvds very quickly and did volume 2 yesterday. Wow! I consider myself an advanced exerciser with a fairly strong core but was humbled by many of the moves. I started out with 2 risers and 12#DBs and finished with no risers and 3 & 5#'s :confused: Surprisingly I...

Thanks for your recommendations! Unfortunately, I have to pass on Boot Camp since I need to limit high impact workouts due to a degenerative hip joint. However, I am looking forward to some hard "core" stuff....pardon the pun :)

FYI: HC workouts are 25% off until 10/21 with coupon code LOVEHC I've been interested in trying these workouts after reading the good reviews here and was thinking of getting DVDs 1-4 plus Get Rolling. Any other recommendations by those already using HC? Thanks!

I could have written this post! I have just been diagnosed with moderate arthritis in my right hip and recently turned 52. There wasn't a Cathe workout or high impact move I couldn't do and loved running. The ache came on suddenly with no warning and felt like a groin pull so I treated it as...

Thanks for your replies! @ Brenda- I can so relate!! There wasn't a Cathe workout I couldn't do and the higher the impact the better. There is nothing worse than being forced to give up something you love and now must look at my huge DVD collection knowing that I may never be able to do some...

I use both Arnica gel and Bio-Freeze for muscle soreness and both provide temporary relief. I like that Arnica gel does not have menthol so there is no smell and it works well for areas like the groin since it doesn't burn or creep. Bio-Freeze contains arnica plus menthol for a cooling affect...

Does anyone here have an Arc Trainer? If so, how does it compare to an elliptical in terms of intensity? Sadly, I have been diagnosed with moderately severe arthritis in my right hip and had to hang up my running shoes. High impact seems to aggravate it so I'm spending more time on my spin...

I completely agree and have some advice coming from experience! If you are truly out of alignment, it is important to get back into neutral alignment before working out, especially if you are doing high impact. I am currently in physical therapy with a therapist who specializes in Postural...

I've cleared my cache, turned off my computer, turned it back on and the icons still do not show up in my calendar. I am using IE9. Any other suggestions? **Disregard...I right clicked the calendar page then hit refresh and the icons came up**

This is so true! I asked a saleswoman at Macy's why 3 pairs of "same style & size" jean all fit differently and she told me it has to do with where they are cut within the bolts of fabric.

I'm intrigued! After 4 rounds of STS, 3 rounds of P90X and 1 unfinished round of X2 (didn't like) I am always looking for something new ;) My main concern is lack of cardio for 3 months and loss of cardio endurance. From what I've read so far, it appears there is only one day of cardio and...

Since the new workouts are in the development stage, I wanted to throw out a request for adding a heavy bag section to Hard Strikes or to structure the workout so it can be used on a heavy bag. If that is not possible, would you consider creating something similar to the heavy bag bonus in your...

Like Nancy, I also have the Valor squat stands. Here is a picture of my set up. They work great for both bench press and squats. I don't use mine for pull ups as I have a separate pull up bar.

I loved P90X but X2...not so much. I got terribly bored by the third month that I just quit doing it. I prefer more traditional strength training (like P90X) and while X2 had a lot of variety and unique moves, I did not feel any improvement in strength other than my core which is called into...

I have the Valor BD 3 squat stands and use them with my barbell for TB. The stands are separate so you can adjust the width to what works with your barbell. I also use them for a bench press rack with STS. Here is a pic of my setup: I paid around $100 a few years ago at Overstock. Not sure...

I tore my supraspinatus rotator cuff completely off the bone, needed surgery to reattach it and followed up with 9 months of physical therapy. When I finally got the OK to start strength training, I started with a tuna can! That was 5 years ago and I have regained 99% ROM and 100%+ in strength...
