sorry Hi, I used a stationary bike when mine was at it's worst. I would assume anything where you are not on your feet would be ok. I seems like I remember being able to keep up with my upper body training, but you can only do that so many days of the week! Good luck, it does get better. Tracy

weight/happiness Hi, I'm another one whose happiness is tied to their weight. I am not a happy camper when I'm not at a weight that I'm comfortable with. I get comments all of the time about how tiny I am and I'm sure I could probably gain 10 lbs and wouldn't look that much different. The...

happy b-day Here's to a Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!!! :eek::eek::p:p:D:D:eek::eek::p:p:D:D:eek::eek::p:p:D:D Tracy:D

deadlifts Hi, You might also want to check your form. I've been reading up on deadlifts, hip rotation, back extension etc., and any rounding of the back and shoulders can take pounds of effectiveness off of the weight that you are using. It's just something else to keep in mind; especially as...

Hi, I know it's old, but I'd get Power Hour, Maximum intensity strength, and Body Max one. These are excellent workouts! You get some great weight training endurance and strenth, a short but intense cardio section, then a great cardio/leg circuit. Once you exhaust them as produced, you could...

TBL I loved Bob's outburst too. It probably took a lot of behind the scenes cra& for hirm to finally blow up like that. This looks like a much better group than last time. I just love Tara. DH and I were sitting there so sad when the two fell below the yellow line, but I have to agree with...

the tire Hi, I'm 49 and got the initial tire about 3 years ago. It just kind of crept up on me; probably 3-5 lbs all around the mid section. I'm about 110, so that's a lot! I really had to work my a$$ off and went on a strict diet of almost no carbs for awhile and heavy weight work. I finally...

suggestion Hi, You have gotten some really good suggestions, but I think you have to remember that you can't train or exercise out a bad diet. That being said, maybe you should journal your food intake to make sure that you are really on track and add in your cheat days. Maybe you are at a...

which one Hi, I have both and my vote is for 4ds. There are more premixes and the weight work is exceptional. Cathe uses numerous weight lifting techniques to maximize the benefit in a short amount of time. At first I wasn't thrilled about the 4ds cardio, but I think that's because I was so...

zig zag Hi, I don't consciously count calories, but I did for years so I pretty much know how much I'm eating on any given day. I do zig zag calories and nutrients depending on my workouts. I add more carbs before or after a run, more protein after a heavy weight day, and sometimes fewer...

engaging muscles Hi, I love pull overs, and always feel them more in my back. I think that what previous posters have said, that feeling the correct muscles engage is key to working the exercise properly. That being said, when I first started doing chin/pull ups, I really had to think hard to...

6 months Hi, I had originally wanted to do the program for 6 months, but that was if it had come out back in Oct or Nov. (I know, wishful thinking!). I always do most of my serious weight training during the winter months and I personally like repeating workouts and I like not having to plan...

4ds Hi, I vote for 4ds. I think it is by far Cathe's best weight work yet, jmo. It is time efficient and extremely effective. She incorporates so many different techniques into each workout, so don't be fooled by the length of the strength training. Besides, if you want longer just do them...

thanks Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to put some options before the familiy and let them choose. Happy Holidays! Tracy

tipping Hi, I'm not a big tipper, but DH tips if he gets a chance. Last year he tipped the guy who delivers the bottled water. All I can say is our service has improved 10 fold. Before he did his job and I had no complaints, but now it is great! He calls me before he comes to remind us to put...

Hi all, It's my job to bring a cake to the Christmas holiday get together. I'm tired of the same old ones we always have and I'm looking for a new idea. It doesn't have to be clean (what cake really is?). Does anyone have an all time favorite that they would like to share? Tracy

variety Hi, I would cross train some for your cardio. Cycling is like running; great cardio, but just a very repetitive movement that works the muscles the same over and over. Sometimes it's important to challenge the body in different ways (laterally or different muscular focus, etc.) It...

can't wait WOW, that looks like one tough workout! I have to admit, I am really excited about this one. I didn't realize that in the last phase there was an option for either plyo or heavy weight training (I just can't bring myself to read every blurb). I'm definitely using the plyo option...

Can't wait Hi, I've never doubted my decision to purchase STS and I ordered on the 1st day. Weight training will always be a part of my fitness routine. I finally realized the benefits of long term rotations after doing p90x and x+. I'm sure this will deliver great results because Cathe's...

cooking beans Hi, I cook beans in my crock pot at least once a week and I've been doing that for year. I have never had any problems. I don't however like them frozen, but I guess that's just personal preference. Tracy
