Hey Lorihart, here's a board where a lot of Body For Life experts as well as other fitness gurus chat, maybe they could help you get rid of your boredom and get back to doing BFL as Bill Phillips suggests: http://www.leanandstrong.com/

Janice I can handle the MIS pace now but the first time I did it w/this weight, I was worn down by the time legs were over. See tho I only train 1-2 body parts a day, if i did the entire video at once I'd be slagged! I'm in my building strength phase again so reps and sets match, while not...

Hey Latrow, tell me more about your compression? If you get a chance that is.

What Kathryn said goes double for me Shelia! "bows down" :) Marisa, when I started out? 3lb dumbells were TOUGH for me to handle..takes time and love of the burn. :)

RE: Prefab Programs This whole conversation reminds me of a discussion on religion whereas this particular religion/aka cardio is the path to heaven and all others are misguided. As I've said over and over, the program I do insists that nutrition is 70% of the plan, and yes strength training IS...

Great Rhonda. Hope it helps. :)

RE: Prefab Programs That's the beauty of it, its only canned if one chooses to adopt a program verbatim. However, as Dr. Connelly states in his book and program, "Do cardio if you must, just don't overdo it to the point it interfers with your strength training." I don't think this has to be...

RE: Still NO If done properly, one can get the same 'heart healthy' benefits from strength training. The research is there, Dr. Connelly, as well as other medical and fitness pros, has proven that and as I stated before, since I've begun strength training only, my blood pressure is way down, my...

Good idea on the vest. How about adding ankle weights? Are they safe to use for legwork and how much weight can you get on each ankle?

RE: No; wouldn't if I could I'm in full agreement Latow, I'm living proof that Dr. Connelly is no charlatan. Like I said, to each their own. You love cardio? Do it. I don't and I don't do it, yet I'm in better shape than I was when I spent 5-6 days a week, torturing myself w/areobic exercise...

Well I've topped out at 70, like said above, I won't be able to lift any more over my head unless I get a squat rack or join a gym and work out there. I hate the thought of a gym! But I do love being strong! After this six weeks, then I gotta get to work on endurance..I have pretty much none, as...

Tomorrow is when the REAL soreness sets in..today I'm semi-mobile. LOL Remember tho I'm the one who got FRIED on PH last weekend and I think that day I had about 30lbs on the barbell and in some of the upper body work? I couldn't even FINISH w/10lb dumbells!!! HUMILIATION to the max on that...

Last night was "leg" night and I'm back into my 'building strength' mode so I did MIS legs and LOADED my barbell. I had nearly 70lbs on that baby and my legs were royally shaking when I got done. For the dumbell lunges, I used 25s.. So I got curious about what everyone else does weight-wise...
