cold Hi, I'm in Virginia and I'm sick of the cold too. Our house is freezing and I just haven't been able to get warm the last couple of days. It was 18 here this morning. Yesterday is was just plain old windy, cold, and damp. I trail run and it's either freezing and frozen, uneven ground, or...

mid section Hi, I'm a little older than you are and when I was about the same age I noticed the same sort of mid-section. I'm 5'3" and about 112 now. I looked in the mirror and finally came to the conclusion that I probably had some internal fat and no sucking in of the core was going to get...

fatigue Hi, I'm doing the 6 month program and I just finished week 2. I have not been sore, but my muscles are definitely fatigued and I personally like that better than soreness. After much deliberation, I did do the 1rms, so I feel like I'm using the appropriate weights suggested by the...

research Hi, I've done a variety of different weight lifting techniques over the last several years, and always integrated 3-4 days of varied cardio. I have all of the muscle that I want and my body fat is very low. Honestly, I think it has more to do with consistent diet and training than...

choice Hi all, It's creamation for me too and I want to be spread somewhere in the woods. I remember when I was a kid and my grandmother died and they had an open casket. All I can remember is seeing her dead in the casket. I am really contemplating the whole memorial service too. Maybe a...

birkenstock Hi, Lots of time Sierra Trading Post has great deals on selected styles. Grounded Soles /The PSNE group has every style and if you buy from them they periodically send out 20% off coupons. Tracy

weighted/plate ab work Hi, I did the weighted ab routine. I think Cathe had 2.5 lbs on her ankles and 2 lbs gloves. I had the same except used my 2lb dumbells. It worked fine. That is one tough core workout. I was sweating when I finished. It was a lot of varieties of roll ups, which since...

doom and gloom Hi, I agree that things are bad, people are loosing their jobs and their houses. I also think that in many cases there is way more to the story than meets the eye. It would be interesting to see the loan documentation of many of the houses that are in foreclosure. Many of these...

Hi all, I don't do too many premixes, but last night after all these years I found the step/hi lo circuit premix. It alternated the SB step and SJP hi /lo. It was so much fun! I haven't done SB in such a long time because I did it so many times when it came out, but what a blast! Tracy

winner I like Tara and Philipe too, but I like all of the contestants this time and wouldn't mind if any of them won. I'm so glad it's a nice group this time. I kind of feel for the purple team (I can't remember her name, the daughter) she's so overweight and really wants to be there. I'm glad...

another vote for X+ Hi, I did a full 90 days of X+ and just loved every minute of it. It is so effective and so much fun. It's got lots of great moves. It's difficult in a deceptive way, but I don't know that it's harder than p90X. I used it in conjunction with running and it worked great for...

What a production. The series looks absolutely wonderful in every way:). I can't wait to get started. I've been using your workouts since the early 90's and I've always gotten great results using your weight training. I'm sure I'll get excellent results with STS. Tracy

Hi, I just previewed disc 14 and I noticed it had two marks on the data side, but I put it in anyway. After pushing play, it plays the warm up, starts the squats, then immediately reverts back to the warm up. I tried cleaning the disc, but the mark will not come off. Thanks, Tracy

brief review Hi, Here are some of my initial impressions of Meso Cycle 1 disc 1; This will not be easy! There are some exercises where they all are visibly struggling at the end. The music is great; instrumental and the beat is choreographed to each exercise. No wonder it took so long to...

info OK, I'm going to pop Meso cycle disc one in now, but I have to comment on the packaging. It is so professional, but I would expect no less. Each cycle is like a book. The cover is heavy cardboard, and the pages are sturdy plastic. There is a spot on each side of each plastic page for one...

motivator Hi, My main motivator is that working out always makes me feel better, and not working out makes me feel worse. I was a morning exerciser for years and when I had to switch to afternoon workouts because of my job, it was quite an adjustment. At first there seemed to be so many...

I got mine too! On previous preorders I didn't order on the first day, but this time I did and I got mine today. It looks beautiful. I can't wait to start previewing. Tracy

C&W I just did this one over the weekend and it was like visiting an old friend. I haven't done it for a while, but it sure was a lot of fun. You can make the weight work as hard or easy as you want. I did it as produced, but sometimes I add a set of push or pull ups before each weight segment...

shoes Hi, I've been wearing New Balance and haven't had a problem in several years. I think you just have to find what works for you. I really think Nikes and Rykas were the start of my problems, and it's probably just a combination of shoe design and foot structure. I also never go barefoot...

results Hi, I agree with what the previous posters commented that it does depend on the results you are looking. I personally think that most exercise programs, if done with consistency and a decent diet will give you some sort of result. Equally or more important, I also think that you...
