Deanie - The calculator was pretty good. So let's say for muscle endurance we get up to 15 reps with our 1RM. How much weight do we go up? Maybe it will be easier once they come out with the workout manager software. No jobs lined up yet. Once I have a closing date, I'll ask my headhunter...

Hi Again! Gin - It has been awhile since I did Cathe. Last time was January 8th when I did IMAX 3. Yes, plie jumps really are my fave! I guess all those ballet classes when I was younger. Luckily I have TIVO so I'll get to see the rest of them tonight. I still have Biggest Loser to watch...

Hi Again! Deanie - It took me 90 minutes. S&H would probably be for strength but I guess you could also use the 1RM for hypertrophy. You could do S&H real heavy and then do only 4-6 reps. Pyramids is difficult since she goes from light to heavy. I would guess the first set would be for...

Catherine - Saying prayers for your DN. (((HUGS))) Marcy

RE: DVD recommendation for picky Sorry I misread your post. Skip Gym Styles and 4DS. Instead I would go with Boot Camp/Muscle Endurance for a circuit and low weight, high rep workout. ME is about 68 mins. but there are shorter premixes. Boot Camp is 60 mins. and also has premixes. There...

Good Morning Ladies! Today was Tracey's Strictly Upper Body, PLB stability ball legs and PUB abs for a total body workout. Tracey's is pure endurance. I only use 5 and 10# for triceps which is a major switch for me. Shoulders are really tough. PLB legs weren't too bad but I still had to...

Good Morning Ladies! Welcome back, Briee. Glad you're feeling better. Yesterday I did Lisa Nunziella's 5-Day Latin Dance: Cha Cha, Samba and Salsa. Dance workouts are always great for me at burning that fat off. Did 3 chins in a row yesterday for the first time!:-) Today was...

Christine, I just voted for Ali. Good luck! Marcy

RE: DVD recommendation for picky Hi Elisabeth! For low impact cardio, I would recommend Low Max. The entire workout is 70 minutes but there are four premixes ranging from 23 - 45 minutes. Choreography is moderately complex. For circuit workouts, I would recommend High Step Challenge or...

Thanks, Deanie. As I'll hopefully be in the middle of my move, I don't have a clue what to plan for next month. I might try Amy for a while since I still have to try the upper body on her Slo Mo and I could use her cardio DVDs which I haven't done in a while. Sorry it's not Cathe but I might...

Gin - Hope your DS gets well soon. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is really funny. Enjoy! The girls are on DWTS tonight. I've heard Marlee Matlin is pretty good but I'm thinking Kristi Yamaguchi will probably take the lead. Marcy

Good morning DGT! Did Lisa Nunziella's 5-Day Latin Dance - Cha Cha, Samba & Salsa. Samba was the easiest; Salsa the hardest. Burned 384 calories; HR stayed up almost entire workout. Also, did 3 chinups a row today for the first time. No house news yet today. Deanie - Yes, I saw the...

Shana, Terminator has mostly step for cardio although there are some Boot Camp cardio sections which are non-step. These are all circuit workouts although IMAX Xtreme has the most cardio with Cardio & Weights and IMAX 2. The step choreography for these are not difficult. Gauntlet and Viper...

Hi Again! Gin - Your DB and SIL's house sounds like they have a mansion! I guess everything's big in TX! I'm impressed you managed to do IMAX 3. So what are you going to do with your nephews while they're staying with you? Are you going to watch DWTS tonight? It's only the men. It...

Catherine - Please don't show me donuts. My DH bought Dunkin Donuts yesterday and I'm ashamed to admit how many I had.x(:-( Marcy

Good Morning Ladies! Happy St. Patty's Day (even if you're not Irish)! Today was Tracey's Glute Camp and Mindy's All About Abs (Bodyweight). Glute Camp was great; skipped the abs section (only bicycles) so I could do Mindy's abs which are still real tough. She does this side plank series...

Good Morning Chinsters! Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. Yes, I'm getting ready for the big move. Filled up the car with trash to get rid of. Packed one more box (of what else -- DVDs and fitness related stuff). Friday - Did Total Body Plus - I don't think you can count anything I...

Hi Andrea, The Upper Body Split Premix in Muscle Endurance is 44 mins. Marcy

Good Morning DGT! This morning was Total Body Plus. I used pretty much the same weights as last time but went up on one of the tricep exercises (used 16#). This is more of an endurance workout and most of the leg moves are non-weighted which I love. I used 10# on the squats and lunges...

Gin - Never went to college but took 7 years of ballet and a little bit of jazz, tap, Spanish and character dancing. I've been line dancing for about 3 1/2 years. Did you ever get Yoga Shakti? Marcy
