You're really holding the weights to make your legs work harder, so you are trying to make your body heavier with the weights. So long as you aren't holding the weights away from your body or with your arms flexed (and using your arm muscles as a result) it won't likely matter; just do what is...

Hi/Lo is generally aerobic work done on the floor, unlike step or kickboxing that has more specific type of aerobic movements. (Think Jane Fonda aerobics from back in the day!) ;)

Yes, it's per workout disk. You want to allow at least 48 hours between weight workouts of the same body parts so it's hard to get in more than two a week anyway, using the 3-disk S&H set! ;)

(This is from an old post I just remembered feeling smart when I wrote it, LOL! But there isn't really a set range for any of them like there is with your 1RM in STS.) Circuit training is moving from one activity to another... for example, a circuit weight workout is weights then cardio like...

Interval workouts like the IMaxes are cardio based so you want to keep your HR 60-80% of your max for the step portions and ramp it up to 70-90% of your max for the blast portions. Circuit workouts are not intervals per se; weight workouts with cardio like LIC or Cardio & Weights are what is...

I don't have the special detergent but I read someplace that setting the washer for at least a 15 min soak should help. I do all my workout loads that way now-- it seems to help quite a bit.

Jessica- try doing a search on P90X; you'll come up with loads of information and opinions! ;) Loads.

What makes you want to have a career in fitness? What kind of educational background do you already have? What kind of career are you interested in? Are you going to be supporting yourself with whatever money you make? Do you want to be in a gym, or a school, or a sports team environment...

Oooh Liann I'm glad I saw this a little later and could get your updates at the same time! I'm sorry your mom has to deal with this, and no one ever needs to fall and hit their head, but I'm super glad she's so active and feisty! (Wonder where you got it...) Hopefully she's seen a doc by now...

That's why the parents were ordered to have their son undergo the treatment... they appear to be putting their beliefs ahead of their son's best interest... which, since he is 13, he is not legally capable of determining for himself. (At age 13 he legally cannot make a decision.)

Try doing both: one week, focus on an endurance run and increase the time by maybe 10% or so. The next week, go for interval runs or a shorter run but go at a faster pace. That said, if you're running for 96 minutes at a time, I'd focus more on running faster so that you can change...
