Nancy, This was a grand undertaking on your part -- THANK YOU! This is my first RT and the Who's Who will come in very handy. Best, -Michele

Go to Ryka.com and you can look them up by style The white with pink in the pic on the forum is the influence. I have it in black with blue trim--love it! Of course I use and orthodic insert in all my athletic shoes since I have a high arch and need additional support in that area. I use...

I was at the makeup counter waiting to pay and the woman next to me (probably 15-20 years younger than my 48 years) said, "I'm trying to get arms like yours." I nearly floated in mid air. Yep, I got me some guns--kiss, kiss! ;)

You can get that at the Walking Co. under a their in-store brand but it's the same orthodic. They will have you stand on a machine to measure the pressure points (lack of PP) of your foot and that will guide you to the correct orthodic. Best, -M

studiocycles.com I purchased my spin bike and shoes and I was very pleased. Jim Wimmer is excellent and has a lot of integrity. Not the cheapest, but he gives better service and peace of mind. Good luck!

I would caution people who move to 5 fingers. I hurt my achilles exercising in them and a friend who is a runner fractured her foot running in them. My friend's ortho told her that many people are injured running and exercising since their feet are not used to 'barefoot/minimal shoe' usage and...

OK you ladies have motivated to check out and try the premix(es). I also have only ever done B&G as is BUT I'm always willing to let Cathe punish--oops, I mean train me (teehee). Michele

I keep track and try to add 1/2 to 1 lb to my weight for an exercise over time (for small muscle groups) or 2-5 lbs (for large muscle groups), slowly increasing weight so as not to injure myself. I enjoy the progress, BUT at some point I find I sort of max out. SO the question I've always...

Also the HiiT DVD with three 30 minutes workouts is excellent as well. You don't need equipment for 30/30 or Pyramid worksouts, but you need a step for the 40/20.

AmyG you said it perfectly!

I bought the Influence by Ryka which is the newest shoe. Love it. So light and fits my fit well. I need a wide toe box but a show that is snug on the heel and this one does the trick. It's black with blue trim and laces. Just so you know, I buy orthodic inserts for all my athletic shoes as I...

I ran my first marathon in 2010 and I remember thinking as I passed people, I saw them a while ago (or should I say the back of them). I'm into the slow and steady method as well. I'm into 5K and 10K races now, that marathon and the half marathon I completed training for the marathon are...

I agree with ATompki1 that the STS ab workouts are unbelievable. And I too can't imagine doing more than 1. If I didn't do cardio I might be able to do 2, but after a workout it's doubtful. I love STS Abs weights and plates, because I always find it to be a real challenge. Frankly, they are...

I was horrible at the movements when I first started and did as many suggested--I rewound the tape a couple of times. If I didn't get it after 3 rewinds, I just moved on then I would go back to those sections when the workout was over and practice a bit. Stick with it -- I believe it actually...

I wonder if the reason the Pregnancy workouts are so "tame" is because of the potential liability of those who produce the video; just a thought. I was one of those people who wasn't fit before I had my 2 kids but got fit afterwards, so those pregnancy videos probably would have fit me - LOL...

I know you are right. The Facebook group has reached out and they sound like a bunch of fun ladies. I'm just so excited.

I was on the waitlist and just got in --WooHOO!! I'm so happy. This will be my first RT. www.facebook.com/michele.backer Thanks, -Michele

This was the first rotation I completed after receiving the XTrain videos. I loved it, but it kicked my butt. I was drenched every single day. Some days I did add on the 100 rep challenges. My calves and legs really saw an increase in muscle and definition. I did add any cardio add on...

Well, I'd say genetics zero--you ONE! Awesome pic! Michele
