    STS and shock cardio

    Until she posts an official rotation, I am alternating one day of STS Strength (starting with Meso 1) and a Hiit add on and then the alternating day I am doing a steady state cardio workout (either one of the Step or MMA's or a run or time on the stairmaster). I'll take a day off around every...

    Excited, but skeptical

    I did the 40/20 today and I was pleasantly surprised. I was worried this series was going to be too easy on preview. I did it after doing STS strength meso 1, week 1. Maybe I was tired from that. But I really did feel challenged. By the way, if you decide it's too short, you can always do...

    Dog advice - my dog can't quit peeing.

    My 13 year old doxie was urinating a lot in the house. I'd decided it was behavioral but happened to mention it to the vet. He couldn't get a urine sample (because the dog had peed in the waiting room) but gave me the anitbiotics to try anyway. It worked. Within a few days, the problem was...

    Recommendations for Insanity Prep

    One of the reasons I love these workouts is because they are tougher than anything out there. It's a well put together workout, but it is for more advanced exercisers. It didn't bother my joints at all and I did the rotation as suggested. But, my joints never hurt. I am susceptible to PF but...

    Question about my Polar F4

    Hopefully someone more in the know will post. But when I was researching which Polar to buy recently, I got confused on the website, so I called Polar cust. service. The guy "interviewed" me to figure out which one I should get. His first question was "will you be using the HR moniter around...

    Need New Cardio

    Month 1 workouts are about 40 minutes-ish and Month 2 are about 55 minutes. The stretch in the beginning is 7 minutes (after the tough warm up), so if you skip that, you can lessen the time. I recommend doing the stretch at least the first few times. You can always skip the last set of...

    Need New Cardio

    I absolutely LOVE Insanity. I did the 2 month rotation as recommended and now I do 2-3 of the workouts a week mixed in with running and full body weight training. For me it is exactly the challenge I was looking for. I don't find Shaun T at all obnoxious or "in your face". I find his...

    Need New Cardio

    Spinning is good. Don't worry about the intensity on your legs because you control the tension on your bike. But better than spinning is Insanity. Really, from a cardio stand point, it's awesome. Plus, it give you some strength work at the same time.

    Jump rope for cardio

    When you jump to let the rope pass, but then you do another little jump right after. Michael Olejade (sorry, I forget how to spell his last name) mentions it on Aero Jump and says you shouldn't do it.

    Polar Heart Rate Monitor

    I just got an F6 and it's great for what you want (the F4 probably is also, I wanted some computer capability). Mine was $109 at Dick's Sporting goods but I had a $25 off $100 coupon so I got it for $85. I've seen it online for around $99. You can use Sports Authority coupons at Dicks and...

    Jump rope for cardio

    Ummmm, it's not the rope tripping up . . . . that's user error (joke). Practice, practice, practice is my suggestion. It took me forever to stop "school girl" jumping. That's where you double hop each jump. I'm not very good at it but I'm getting better with practice. Make sure your...

    Insanity rotation ?

    The first time through I did the Insanity rotation as it was posted. Now that I am done, I am doing 2 Insanity workouts a week, 2 full body weight sessions (sometimes using Shaun T's upper body weight DVD) and 2 runs. I really like the upper body weight workout. I hope he does more like this...

    Any Black Friday Shoppers out there?

    How interesting. I would have thought that people planning to shop on Black Friday would be attracted to posting here, yet most are people saying no. So, who are all those masses of crazies out on Black Friday? I guess none of them like Cathe? I love to shop, but since becoming a SAHM...

    Any GERD Remedies you know?

    I suffered from acid problems in my stomach (never went to my throat, just made me sick if I didn't take acid inhibitors) for about 4 years. Every so often, the meds I was taking would stop working and I would have to switch to something else. Once in a while, I'd stop taking the meds to see...

    Boots Too Small

    Return them. But, have you tried a different vendor that sells them that might have your size? I've shopped www.zappos.com, www.onlineshoes.com, www.piperlime.com and www.nordstroms.com? Unless they are a small manufacturer, I would think one of these companies would have them??? Or were...

    TRX training system

    Hi, There's a thread at VF about the TRX training system (www.fitnessanywhere.com) and I am feeling the pull to purchase it. I'm just looking for any more information I can find. Does anyone have it and if so, do you like it? Do you use it? Which videos should I get with it? My...
