Circuit training is moving from one activity to another... for example, a circuit weight workout is weights then cardio like many of Cathe's workouts. LIC, High Step Challenge, etc. Interval training is taking your heart rate from a steady pace to an elevated pace and then repeating that...

I did two Ab Hits workouts yesterday and they were good but no DOMS for me today. I'm okay with that, but maybe now that you've reminded me about the BC core workout... :D and one of my favorites... the stability ball abs from B&G... good times!! thanks for the reminders

Kristi I just looked in my emails and I haven't gotten a specific email when any of my preorders shipped in the past.

Roxie, step would be weight bearing, as would any other activity that requires you to put any of your body weight on your feet. Swimming and biking are great alternatives. Probably a stairmaster or elliptical will also aggravate your plantar fasciitis since you are standing and bearing your...

Did your doctor give you a flat-out ban or are you supposed to wait a while before trying the lunges and squats? What about wall squats? Might work since it's an isometric hold? I'm not sure. Do you have B&G? That one is a killer; you can do the floor work with ankle weights-- ouch! :P...

Can you do the mixed grip until your forearms fatigue and then switch to and double up on your single leg for the remaining sets? If you're looking for forearm strength, try S&H biceps. I did that last night and omg my forearms are still feeling it!!! :D

I was thinking last night how nice it would be to have TWO high steps. LOL, granted, that was because I was looking for an end table for our couch, but still. I heart my high step. I have the slanted risers too and don't use them much-- I do like them for chest work and they are way stable...

I'm 5'2" and it took me 14 months to lose 45 pounds. I couldn't give weight loss my entire focus at that point since I had many life transitions during those months but I don't think I'm that focused anyway! That said, I haven't gained it back and it has been 7 years. I'd rather this way...

How do you get your normal temperature? Is it in the doctor's office with the disposable paper thermometers? When I have mine taken with those I'm always below 98.6 but when I do it with my electronic one at home I'm right where I should be (unless I'm sick which is usually why I'm taking...

My one little girl CANNOT handle having ANYTHING close to the edge of a table or counter... she MUST knock it off. It is so cute; we tease her and put bottle caps, etc on the edge just to see how quickly she can knock them off!! :P You should see both of them with our Christmas village...

Clare I forgot what the name of it was: 10 Minute Solution Tone Trouble Zone http://www.netflix.com/Movie/10_Minute_Solution_Tone_Trouble_Zones/70074023?trkid=222336&lnkctr=srchrd-sr&strkid=1457805028_17_1 I think there are 50 min using the band so there are a ton of ideas. HTH!

It used to be a week after donating whole blood before I felt right. (And I always beat my dad's time!) Now I donate platelets and it only takes one rest day since they replace the fluids they take out!

Clare Amy Bento does a 10 min solution dvd using the bands. I rented it from Netflix and it gave me some great ideas.

Kim are you kidding???

LOL try living with diabetes where my pancreas makes no insulin and I have to figure it out myself Laura! Every.thing.I.have.put.in.my.mouth.since.1988. :p So anyway, the glycemic index is a guide not a bible. Labels will not give you a glycemic index you'll just need to look at carbohydrate...

The simpler the sugar/glucose the more insulin you require to keep your blood glucose levels stable as you digest the carbohydrates and they enter your blood stream. One of insulin's functions in the body is to move fat from the bloodstream and store it. The more insulin in your body, therefore...

LOL I love Christine's plan! Just be aware HOW COLD AND WINDY it will be on the bridge if you're going to walk. Like, colder and windier than you'd ever think possible. (So cold you have to make up a word like "windier"!) Can you tell I did that when I was little and haven't since? :P...

Penny I suggest you check out www.511.org and look at the take transit trip planner. If you're in San Carlos you can hop on Caltrain and take that into the city if you don't want to pay a zillion dollars for parking. (You can also take the KX bus into the city for $4 and walk a couple blocks...

OMG get yourself to a doctor. Quickly!

They should be able to at least discuss your side effects with you over the phone and perhaps they could have called your doctor on your behalf-- that's a key function of a pharmacist that we often overlook since we're just tired of waiting in line at the pharmacy! :rolleyes: Glad you got a...
