RE: What is Itread? And where can I find it? Becky, Check out their website: www.itrain.com - ITreads are specifically for treadmill workouts, but they offer a whole variety of exercise programs. I'm VERY new to these workouts (as you can see above - I'm dying to try my first one), but...

About how long is this mish-mosh?

Thanks ladies! Nancy, I've been looking at the set you mentioned, and I just ordered it - I hope it won't take forever to get here! TeTe, I totally hear ya about the "homemade surround sound," but I'm just not a fan of things in my ears, etc. - unless it's for a workout, of course! :D

No, I don't even remember the last time I wore headphones for any reason - 10-15 years ago, maybe? I'm feeling kind of old and I'm only 28 :o I prefer to listen to music reaaly loud on the surround sound, so I'd only use the mp3 player for exercise (and future Cathe workouts!).

Okay, I finally bit the bullet, borrowed MY GRANDMA'S mp3 player (she's awesome and way more tech-savvy than I am!), taught myself how to download and then transfer an ITread to the player - and then discovered that the damn ear buds will NOT stay put!!! Here I am so proud of myself for moving...

When we moved into our house, we had one flea-less indoor cat. However, the previous owners had originally had 3 indoor/outdoor cats, but only one cat when they moved out (one was hit by a car and they gave the other one to their son). Long story short, we had a houseful of fleas all...

Yen, I apply the bioskincare to my entire face (just a thin layer) and only use a moisturizer if I notice some dry spots around my jaw line (or around my nose if I've been using a lot of tissues for my allergies). I don't tend to use a lot of moisturizer anyway because my skin is so oily to...

thanks, Kathryn! Thanks, Kathryn! I like your version of the "strength mode." Any particular reason why you do an overhead press in place of the anterior raise for shoulders?

Another vote for CTX Kickbox and Power Circuit! I also like to do the blasts in KM followed by 2 of the combos (shortened version of the "Bootcamp Challenge" premix). Another favorite of mine is the cardio & lower body premix in BC.

My knees used to hurt with this one, too, until I rolled up an extra towel and put it under my knee caps (using a mat alone didn't protect my knees). I also made sure to really contract my abs hard during the movement and go as far out as I could on the ball.

I swear by Bioskincare (www.bioskincare.com)! When I started using the facial cream (it was originally called Elicina), my skin immediately softened and cleared up - and has been pretty damn clear for 5 years now (I'm 28). The cream itself is actually made from snail secretions (sounds gross...

I think Tess_ATL posted a website with all of her workout sheets on it over in the Rotations forum. Do a search for "spreadsheets", etc. Carole (MckMain) was also very sweet and emailed me her sheets!

I ALWAYS feel it in my biceps the day after doing PUB - love it! }( The other after-burner I can always count on is GS:C&T - my entire chest is on fire for days!

Thanks for your replies! I, too, prefer the lying cross extensions over overhead extensions, but mixing it up is always good!

Hi Cathe (or educated crowd), When doing tricep extensions over/behind the head, is it better to hold onto both ends of the dumbbell (horizontal position) or grip one end of the dumbbell (vertical position)? I was doing GS:C&T yesterday and was wondering about this. I like holding both...

I voted for GSL because I ALWAYS have some kind of DOMS after this w/o. That said, however, I just did PLB last week for the first time in a year and totally remember why I love this one, too - this w/o seems to hit my hamstrings in a way that the other ones don't. Like the OP, I usually "fall...

I can't help you with those rotations, but I just started the Jan '07 rotation (in response to your Jan '06 comment). I like how it rotates the Gym Styles and Pyramids without a ton of cardio. I, like you, am aiming for fat loss and muscle definition and thought I'd give this one a try. I...

The music is also pretty fitting - the soundtrack from "Last of the Mohicans"!

You may want to grab a fitness mag. (like Oxygen, etc.) - they usually have some weight routines listed. Or check their website for routines.

STRAWBERRIES!!!!! :D :D :D Blueberries and raspberries, too!
