I know there are hybrids out there, but if you're going to do the program as written, weight training is not necessary.

Insanity is meant as a 60 day program using only your body weight as resistance. You should not add additional weight training. I've done Insanity 2x and then some. Believe me when I say you won't feel like doing weights. But you won't need them either. I was more toned than I have ever...

I totally feel ya!! My main problem is finding the time to cook. With 4 kids, 12 hour work days, husband on nights, I find it hard to even have the desire to cook. Cooking and cleaning are 2 things that have lost priority in my life for the time being. I never eat what I make the kids...

As far as clothes sizes go back in the 80's, people wore their pants at their rib cage. Now they're made to wear on a women's hips. I do think the sizes have changed, but so have the styles, which I would assume makes sizing different. And when trying on pants/jeans, etc., I always take in a...

It has always amazed me how different the human body is from person to person and how genetics play such a big role in that. My sister and I come from the same gene pool, yet she is 5'3" 110 and a size 2 and I am 5'4" 145 and a size 6 (sometimes 4). She has a very small frame. I think I can...

I think the plates are OK for some exercises, but the higher in weight you go, the harder it will be to lift with good form. I use my 25lb plate for triceps overhead extensions and it works fine. I know they would work good for one arm rows, too as the weight would just be an extension of your...

You will never burn out on Cathe!! I've been doing her workouts for 18 years and there is no one like her. I have never once thought "man, I'm so sick of doing Cathe workouts" And I, too have done many BeachBody workouts. She has a ton of low impact to choose from and her workouts are often...

If you actually become a member of Beachbody (it's free unless you choose otherwise), you are automatically assigned a coach. If you don't know anyone who is a coach (i think there's quite a few on this forum), then this is an option. I'm sure you could sign up under any of the coaches on the...

Sorry love, but sometimes it's just plain old genetics :(.

I have no experience with CC, but was wondering if it would work with road biking? Is there anyone out there who has used it while biking?

This is one of the reasons it's taken me 8 or more meds and almost a year to find a combo that works for me. Some of the meds just didn't work. One beta blocker slowed down my heart rate so much that no matter what I did, I couldn't get my max heart rate past 135 and I felt like my legs...

Thanks, Tracy!! And you're right, it is time consuming, but so enjoyable. And my hubby and I just need to bite the bullet and sign up for a ride! It's a little intimidating. I'm such a novice to road biking, but have really fallen in love with it. I have an awesome bike that I need to learn...

Thanks, lainabaina! And I guess I should have clarified a bit. I don't actually want to race. I just want to do rides like a runner would do a 5k or a 10k or a marathon. Not sure what to call them but races.

Sadly I'm one of those people who eat almost the same thing every day. I thought maybe I wasn't getting enough iron, so I've tried to increase my intake. I've even tried eating more because I thought maybe I wasn't getting enough nutrition. Nothing has helped. Also, if it would have only...

So I have recently fallen in love with biking. I just purchased a Trek Lexa SLX this weekend and love, LOVE it. I really want to sign up for a bike race and wondered if any other biking enthusiasts out there know a good place to get a training schedule. Running a marathon used to be on my...

We're taking my my oldest for her birthday this weekend. I'm sure there will be much carnage with 3-6 year olds, 2-9 year olds and 2...well 30 somethings bouncy around. I can't wait!! :)

They scheduled me to meet with a cardiologist on Aug 21st. Till then I must stop reading the internet. All it's doing is scaring me.

Biscoff Spread!!! ....oh wait, no nuts. NUTS!

I have had my thyroid tested numerous times and it always comes back normal. I have my yearly blood tests done and then my doctor will often check my liver function. My heart rate will get into the 110's when I'm standing and then the 130's or higher when I'm just doing laundry or dishes. I also...

I live just outside Indy. I called my doctor and she agreed that I needed referred to a cardiologist. They will be calling me to set up an appointment. I've just been made to feel like I'm over reacting. I'm 37 years old and in the best shape of my life, so I agree with all you wonderful...
