I completed P90X in March. I agree it needed some add-ons - I added Spinning and Cathe cardio DVDs. A few observations - Cathe's HIIT is much harder than Plyo X, the P90X Legs & Back disk is actually pretty light on legs, and there is far too much focus on pull-ups/chin-ups. I liked P90X in...

Hi Cheryl, I took a quick look (which actually turned into quite a long look :)) and this is a great site! Lots of good info, well written, current science, and very motivating. He also has practical tips for how to actually do all those things we know we should be doing. I have bookmarked...

Hi - could you post a link? I googled Calorie Coach and the top two things that came up were a site called "Coach Calorie" which sounds like something different, and "Calorie Count" which had a piece of software called "Calorie Coach", which also sounds different from what you were talking...

I never saw such a bunch of happy, fit looking people! Looks like you are having a fabulous time and I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures. :) Stebby

I finished P90X on April 1. I lost 10 lbs and 3 inches off my waist. I liked the program in general, although there wasn't enough cardio (I added 2 Spinning classes per week) and Ab Ripper X got so boring I could have tossed it through the window! The leg program was light compared to Cathe...

Happy birthday, Aries ladies! This was spot-on for me ... I'm a Cancer. It says I need exercise that can be done at home and I should invest in weights and exercise tapes. It also says swimming is good for me, and I do lots of that too. Weakness for sweets - yep, that's right too. The only...

I've tried both the chocolate and the green Shakeology - didn't care for the chocolate one (even though I'm normally a chocolate freak) but I loved the green one! And I love the recovery drink!!! Very yummy orange flavour. Stebby

I do lots of Yoga, Abs and 3-4 cardio sessions during my rest weeks (Spinning, brisk walking or one of the easier Cathe cardios). Stebby

You're psychic, mini-natty! I thought of you and this thread when I saw the announcement today! Stebby

I have a Facebook account - I use it just for sharing photos. I don't have many "friends" so I don't see a lot of noise on my account. And no drama. I have never understood the appeal of Twitter. I get some Twitter feeds on my LinkedIn account and they're just inane. I don't care if an...

I applied directly on the site a few days ago (Pinterest / Home) and got an invite from them by the end of the next day. So the delay is really slight. Stebby

I have Xtreme Timesaver. The workout is pretty good, but Jackie's personality rubs me the wrong way. She seems like kind of a princess. At one point when she is assisting one of her cast members, she actually says to the camera, something like "Don't you wish I were touching you like this?"...

Pilates for me as well. I have tried several instructor-led classes, and really tried to get into it, but I just don't get the moves. The breathing seems backwards to me, and the cues a lot of instructors give (like lifting your head up and over something when you roll forward) just don't make...

She's not in Wikipedia because none of us have put her in there. :) Wikipedia is created and maintained by the public - anyone can write an entry for it. Stebby

Hi Trixoo, I have done all these programs. Insanity is definitely comparable in intensity to Cathe (but as everyone says, do all the stretches and really listen to your body). I got killer abs and arms from Insanity and also lost 21 lbs (this was keeping my diet clean, but not paying much...

Me too - I definitely sleep better! I haven't been sleeping well for several months now, except for yoga days (work related stress), so my New Year's Resolution is to do more yoga. And to get my flexibility back! Stebby

I'd like to know this too! I just started P90X and all I can do is hang from the bar. I'm using both an elastic assist and one toe on a chair, and I can get up that way, but I think I've modified it down to the point that I'm only lifting 20 lbs or so! I went through STS using the bands - I...

You're weird. Stebby

Hi Grace - it took us about 5 months to conceive (no intervention). That is probably longer than average but I'm really not sure. My doctor was trying to persuade me to go on fertility drugs but I didn't want to do that - I did NOT want to increase my chances of having twins. Fortunately...

Here, Laura, have my feet. (let's see ... ok, got them off...) I'm switching to wheels. :D Stebby
