Hey, 50 is young! I was lucky enough to have seats in the coveted "Purple Circle" at Prince's Purple Rain concert in San Francisco. I could have reached out and touched "The Purple One," but I didn't }( Can u dig it? Sarah ;-)

I think Jackie is probably an insecure person, hence her condesending attitude towards others. She made a snide remark about Keli Roberts being so "80's." Not nice. Sarah

>Terminators. I cannot get up & down that fast. Melanie~ Not that you are going to be doing a lot of Terminator Climbers in your condition, but a good modification is to use your high step to perform them. I use 4-5 risers, in addition to the top. You do the Terminator's the same way, but...

>Indeedy!! Her self absorbed whining about her so called >problems grows tiresome. I'd really like to see her and Tosca >get together. That would be amusing!! HA! That is hilarious :7 Maybe Tosca could make Jackie some recipes from her cookbook, since Jackie was whining about how her...

Leanne, don't tell me it's a fantastic workout! I'm trying to resist investing in MORE equipment. Okay, so tell me, what weight kettlebell did you buy? Do you use just one KB during the workout? Sarah ;-)

Nancy, you are not alone; I too am Maniac Girl. When the anxiety levels are up, there is nothing like a good purge to give you the illusion of control ;-) Sarah

>Here's a vote for fast foot repeaters. My HR goes sky high >and I'm always skeered of tripping!!:o I agree! I have fallen doing FFR's. I modify them and take my step down to just the riser height. Sarah

Ah yes, now I remember what hip thusts are. Thank you, Laurie. Thankfully, I don't have a mirror in my living room, so I can't confirm how un-pretty my moves are ;-) Sarah

Any interval in Imax 3 is the toughest for me ;-) Believe it or not, I pre-ordered that entire series and IMax 3 is still in the original shrink wrap. I'm too afraid of injury to try it and too lazy to sell it. Sarah;-)

I hear you, Laurie, I'm tall too. Which workout has hip thrusts? Sarah

While we covered our least favorite workouts; what are your least favorite moves? These are the moves that have the highest degree of Yuck Factor. For me, it is those hideous Genie Hops in IMAX 2. Genie Hops are my one-way ticket to plantar fasciitis. I also detest Slam-its:-( Sarah

Heather, I am sending you thoughts of peace and strength. You are in my prayers. Sarah:)

Oh Leanne, sister girl, you have me contemplating my "need" for kettlebells. I really think I may have a little problem with equipment addiction. Oh my. Sarah ;-)

I can't believe it took me so long to purchase Drill Max. I just received it last week and I am in the "honeymoon" period with this one! Love it. I did it "as is," but it's a bit too long for me and I got one of my dreaded exertion headaches from it. However, the pre-mixes are very doable...

I feel your vent. Our Irish Terrier has had more emergency visits to the vet than I care to count ($$$$$)! He has a taste for plastic army men and Lego's, which are never in short supply with 3 boys in our house. He also rifles my boy's backpacks, looking for snacking opportunities...

Hi Leanne. The full-body workouts I have been using are: Muscle Max, Muscle Endurance, Power Hour, and the full-body bonus on the Pyramids. The circuit workout once a week is just the right finisher to my "cocktail," in addition to the 3 days of cardio. This mix isn't anything I invented, but I...

Nathalie, I'm just jumping in here to tell you that I had the exact same issue. Like you, I had been doing heavy lifting since December, with great strength gains, but not the definition and leaning out that I wanted. Three weeks ago, I started a rotation of 2 full-body workouts per week, 3...

I say "ditto" to your list with the addition of Step Pump and Jump. I tried to do SPJ recently and pushed the Stop button within 5 minutes. Your reference to the fake ponytails is hilarious. The fake tans are Oompa Loompa-ish too. ;-) Sarah
