Well... I don't know if you NEED the Timesaver DVD (although you haven't seen some of the weight work because some of it comes from the Supersets/ Push Pull DVD and some of it is new footage.) I like Timesaver because it's preprogrammed to act like the CTX series. I have only a single-disc DVD...

How big is the article? I hate Self magazine, but I'll buy one just to clip the article if it's got some meat to it! Congratulations, Cathe!

RE: food for thought I also hate advertising. It's the primary reason I avoid most popular media when I can. I grew up in the military with advertising-free TV (our "commercials" were about what you could mail at the post office, or amazing moments in military history. And they were usually...

I'm actually saving my Timesaver DVDs until spring, when I hope to get accepted into and start grad school. I don't want to give up working out entirely, but I'll definitely have to cut back, since I'm keeping my job and adding a long commute to college.

I almost always do my own cooldown anyway, so I won't even know the difference. (My cooldowns consist of: get a drink of water, pick up whatever messes the kids made while I was working out, maybe even rotate laundry...) I'm happy to have five workout choices rather than four with cooldowns.

My first boyfriend had mono and it knocked him out for about two weeks after he was diagnosed. It was about three months before he really felt like himself again. His doctor told him to take it easy for about a month or so. My boyfriend was not very into exercise anyway, so I don't know how...

I think if this were my problem, I would cut back on cardio (and perhaps either drop one day of exercise or cut two days' workouts in half) and I would focus on drinking more caloric drinks, like milk. It must be tough, though, especially if you don't want to eat the junky stuff. It could be...

I think a lot of people do lack an understanding of what is nutrition and what is junk and there is some misleading advertising aimed at adults. We have commercials implying that "Sunny D" is healthy. You might as well give kids a Mountain Dew and a Vitamin C drop. Unfortunately, people I know...

We call the Jurassic Park music "Hooked on Jurassic Park" from that series of electronic classical music from the 70s. Heh.

I'm asking the same question! I might play with a premix that looks like it has a total body workout on it, or I might do one of the cardio workouts. I'm so excited! I even took an active rest week so I wouldn't have any DOMS before starting my BB rotation!

Good to hear... I posted a response on the other board... recommending the Wechsler book and a couple more months. Good luck!

I'm not a medical professional, but if I were in this situation, I would get a copy of "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Wechsler. She has some very interesting information in that book. It would be less expensive and less invasive to try her techniques for about six months or so and...

I'm not single, but I would avoid any guy who asks your weight. I think that's offensive no matter what you weigh. (I know girls who've married guys like that... one of them expected his wife to be back in size 3 a week after giving birth to her second child. He called her "fat" many times.)...

RE: Jenne! Hi! (I was gone for the weekend.) I'm crocheting blankets, but I might do fleece next year! Personal hydration systems are backpacks with a bladder inside to hold water. I have one that my husband got in the desert and I appropriated. They're great for summer activities like...

I detest Black Friday. My 13-year-old son got shoved out of the way last year when he went to get a present for his little brother. Black Friday brings out the worst in people. (Present company excluded, I hope.) More than half of my Christmas shopping is done. I've scaled WAY back...

I'm giving a small sampler plate of cookies and a 2nd-grade level book for the classroom to my younger son's teacher. I haven't decided how I'm going to handle my older son's teachers-- probably give a big sampler plate to the teacher's lounge. My theme this year for Christmas is useful and...

I haven't seen a lot of complaining here, but I have noticed it elsewhere. I don't think she was talking about the requests for updates we see here. I'm so excited to get mine... it'll be like Christmas and my birthday, arriving to surprise me on some random day in November (?) or December...

Step Reebok: The Workout was my very first. It came with my step. The first workout I bought individually was either Step Reebok: The Power Workout or Firm Vol 1. I still have those tapes.

Sigh We skied before we came back to the states. Over in Germany, it seemed about as common and affordable as having a bike is here. I get depressed every winter because we live more than a day away from any skiing (not just -GOOD- skiing, I'm talking -ANY- skiing) and we don't make enough to...

Broadcaster What a fascinating variety of careers! I'm a former jack-of-all trades Air Force broadcaster. I write radio news right now. I'd like to get back into voice work and video production eventually. I also write fiction and hope to get some of my novels published someday...
