I prefer the elliptical. It just seems that you can hit the legs better with an elliptical without taxing the joints. I once stressed my knee on a treadmill (I have no idea how, but my knee bothered me for MONTHS afterward). The elliptical is so much friendlier to the knees!

I had to leave during the 2nd quarter...couldn't bear to watch! So, as I was lying on my bed in depressed agony, a voice in my head said, "They're going to come back and win, so you've got to get back downstairs to watch! Hurry!" So, I got back up, went downstairs, and got there in time to...

I'd love to do that, but I don't want to risk ticking my boss off. On the other hand, He DID tell me to help him gain control over his calendar. Hmmmmm. Perhaps I will try this and if he questions why I did it, I will tell him it's as a direct response to our discussions during my review: He...

I'd say no to training the same body part two days in a row. All training advice I've read says not to do this and even if you aren't feeling sore, I don't think it's a good idea. The muscles were still worked, and despite the lack of soreness they need to rest.

I should clarify: My boss DOES stay late almost every night, but it's to work on what HE wants to work on and get through the tasks he couldn't get through during the day. So, just because he's there (and the other office might know this), it shouldn't be taken for granted that he's...

Marie: Good suggestion on the reply. I'll keep that in mind for the next time this happens. I'm sure this will come up again, because the people in that office have already tried scheduling meetings for my boss after 5:00 before...I'm sure they'll try it again. Being that this has happened...

Oh, I did send the info to my boss. I didn't forward the email; I sent him a separate email and said something like, "So-and-so emailed me under separate cover that they can't schedule this meeting at 1:00 because that's their lunch hour. She will try to call you earlier in the day to discuss...

THIS JUST IN: I guess several Patriots starters have the flu. If that is true, then if the Colts win, I will feel a little cheated, as a Colts fan. I want to beat the Pats straight up! I don't want anyone to be able to say, "Well, the Pats were sick and that's why you won." I guess...

My company was just "merged" with another one in a different time zone a few months ago. Our new parent company seems to conveniently "forget" this when it serves their own interests. Friday, someone from the other office scheduled my boss (the VP of Operations for BOTH offices - he's...

RE: CF-Update I did Cardio Fusion after only doing Body Max 2, and thought it was pretty easy to pick up the choreography from the other workouts. Check out the Mix and Max premix if (when) you get Cardio Fusion. It's an awesome premix!

I guess it all really depends on what you want. I personally have found a premix on Cardio Fusion (not on your list) that just ROCKS! It's Mix and Max. It combines all the cardio from the others in such a way to deliver what has been a fantastic cardio, fat-burning recipe for me. I find...

For a guy, I'd recommend the Bootcamp, also. And here's another vote for the S&H DVD.

I hate pushups just about as much as the rest of you (based on that other thread about pushups, that's a lot of you). Pushups have always been super hard for me, as I have very little upper body strength. Something that is getting me over my hatred of pushups, though, is a goal I've set...

I have both the GS's and S&H, and use the GS's ALL THE TIME!!!!! I pull out the S&H's when I want to break a plateau or take the strength up a notch. So, I think you should get both eventually, but get the GS's first. I think you'll use them more.

BTW: I'd also recommend the Gym Styles (I don't see that on your list of current workouts). They're awesome to target specific muscle groups!

I just got the first Body Max and after previewing it, haven't tried it, yet. I think it's the music. Music is really important to me in my workouts and I like music that is...well...more like the music on Cathe's latest DVD's. It's energetic, inspiring, fun, and funky, and just makes you...

I'm glad to see so many people thinking that the Pats will beat the Colts! The Colts play better when they are viewed as the underdog! They always have. They proved that the past two weeks against the Chiefs and Ravens. Last year when they were favored to win it all, they were knocked out in...

Becky: I will not be able to go to the game on Sunday, but my boss is going, along with several co-workers. I will be content to stay at home and "coach" from my living room. I was so anxious over last week's game that I think I walked 5 miles just pacing in front of my TV during the 3...

I think ADHD is a label that, in some cases, pigeonholes those "diagnosed" with it. I have done some reading on related topics and evidence exists that artificial sweeteners and thimerasol (used in immunizations as a preservative) contribute to the "development" of ADHD. Some evidence even...

I started with Cathe on the workout "Step Blast" (otherwise known as SB around here on the forums). If you think the choreography on BM2 is tough, try Step Blast! Wow! I can't tell you how many times I rewound and rewound and rewound before I finally got it all down! Then there's Rhythmic...
