Congrats Cheryl! Way to get out of your rut! :D I have not worked out in over a week!! I have walked a couple of times since my surgery but that's it. I am going to try to do Low Impact Step tomorrow. I am crossing my fingers that I am ready to get back into it. I am really proud of...

Good Morning! I have done no workouts because I am still recovering from my surgery on Thursday. I am recovering nicely but I think it will still be at least 2 -3 days before I can start vigorous exercise again. I did get out for a very short walk yesterday which was nice. The upside is...

I had intermittant back pain for about 5 years that I didn't take very seriously. It ended in a surgery for me, which was probably avoidable had I changed my behavior sooner. Luckily my surgery was successful and I have been relatively pain free for the last 4 years. Ironically, I still...

Hello! I did MMA Boxing tonight. That workout is so much fun. I have done well with eating and cardio but I can't get out of my weight lifting rut. My excuse this week is that I wouldn't be able to keep to my plan this week anyway because of my oral surgery on Thursday. Lame! I've got to...

I also adore this workout! When I first started doing it I was completely wiped out after the 3rd combo and blast. I just started the workout at the beginning each time and pushed myself a little farther each time. I can now do the whole thing with a little energy to spare at the end :cool...

I agree! I had back surgery several years ago and while I love Cathe, I have to be careful with some of the workouts. The only workout I would add to the previous post is Low Max - that is another great back friendly workout. I think the high impact of Shock Cardio would be tough for your...

I highly recommed Financial Peace University with Dave Ramsey. You can find classes in your area or he offers the course online. He also has a book with a lot of the same info - Total Money Makeover. Both are excellent. My husband and I completely changed our finances after doing this...

Hello! I did LIC cardio premix this morning. I just love that workout :) I should have done some lower body weights this evening but I had a lousy day and came home to my 13 yr DS causing drama so I didn't do it. Oh well, tomorrow is another day! I would love to give you all more info...

Hi Everyone! I restarted STS today. I finished Meso 1 about a month ago but then started having the knee issues so I just did other stuff until I was clear to go back to it. So I am starting it again. It will be interesting to see if I finish it though...over the next month I am having...

Hello Everyone! I did MMA Boxing this morning for the first time - it was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed it. I need to go down now and do some weights but I am not feeling motivated. My daughter got into a car accident this afternoon. She wasn't hurt but the car was. I am churning over...

Way to go Cheryl. Sounds like a great workout! I got cleared from my physical therapist to start into weights again. I think I am going to restart STS and see if I can get through it this time! I am very sleepy so I am going to go to bed! See ya all tomorrow!

You may have already done this, but I recommend a good sports minded physical therapist. I was struggling with knee pain caused by my IT band. My doctor told me to lay off the high impact stuff and stretch. She said if after 6 weeks I didn't improve she would send me to physical therapy. I...

Hi everyone! I have been doing well with workouts. Still keeping it mostly low impact but the intensity is definitely there. Tonight was the final weigh in for a biggest loser competition I have been in. It was a 12 week challenge - I won with a 14.5 lb loss and a 4.8% decrease in body...

Try adding some extra stretching in for your hips...a tight IT Band can cause pain in your knee. I am currently in PT for this very thing. It's amazing what a few extra stretches can do for you. I was relieved to find out from my physical therapist that my knee is structurally fine, it is...

Hello! I have been MIA from this thread for a bit. I didn't fall back into my rut though, I swear! I stuck with the working out and eating and everything. I had a crazy week at work and was tired. I also got caught up in the health insurance thread and once I wrote my novellas over there...

I don't have the MMA series so I can't speak to that but I thought that Kickmax was mostly easier than 4DS KB and KPC. I love those two kickboxing workouts and I didn't think KM was anything like those 2. I was disappointed - I didn't hold on to it! There are a couple of parts that were...

I love them both but it really depends on what your goal is with the purchase. If you want cardio and weights than definitely go with LIC. If you want a longer cardio workout you should go with Low Max

The huge problem with this line of thinking is that the United States is running out of money! We are passing a debt of ridiculous proportion to our children and grandchildren to pay off. That isn't just a soundbite - it's the God's honest truth. Social Security THIS YEAR is going to pay out...

Yes but most of the millionaires that have "cushy" jobs right now worked long and hard to get to that point in their careers. Very few people just have the job handed to them. They made the choice to go to school, to invest their time and energy into making themselves more marketable and to...

I would say that anyone earning a million dollars a year has EARNED that money and deserves to keep as much of it as possible. It is their money that they earned. I don't make a million a year but I want millionaires rights protected as much as I want my own protected. We are already...
