    spinning and legs

    The clips/baskets don't allow you to use your hamstrings & glutes as much as the cleat systems. If there are bikes that have the clipless pedals, & you really enjoy the Spinning, buy cleated shoes so you get a better workout. I suffered a lot when I switched from toe clips to cleats on my...

    Has anyone had a torn miniscus?

    torn meniscus Nancy, I had surgery in the fall of 2004 to repair a torn meniscus. Everyone's recovery is different but hopefully my story is encouraging. My surgeon told me to be very proactive in my recovery. I ditched the crutches 18 hours after surgery and walked around the block. I...

    spinning and legs

    Are you Spinning with clipless pedals? If you are & your form is good, meaning pulling up not just pushing down, then your hamstrings & glutes are working. Ask your instructor to evaluate your pedal stroke. Lots of people ride with too low of resistance under the misconception that they're...

    I'm offended that you call breasts "boobies".

    Kathryn - question for you

    I received the 4 TLT's Tuesday & am very impressed. They would be a great supplement to traditional training & super for endurance athletes or for someone involved in sports. One could use them "in season" after base training in the "off season". To address Soosan's question, the TLT's hit...

    Ok old Firmies - the new TLT's?

    Thank you very much for the reviews! I'm interested in how you decide to rotate them. My TLT's are touring the country with UPS & won't arrive until Tuesday. I can hardly wait. Carole, your comments really hit home. I've been dealing with little nagging injuries. Right now, it's a...

    Hang in there, Cathe

    Sorry, but I don't think it's rude to ask for the promised updates. Cathe announced the new workouts on 9/15 & estimated filming would be in early November. We're almost into January, which means the timeline was 100% off. Customers that have preordered deserve some idea what the current...

    Wondering....

    I too would like an update from Cathe or SNM. This is from SNM's preorder information: "Please visit our forums for Pre Sale shipping date updates. As always, we will keep you updated on our website." I'm beginning to wonder if I'll be using the new workouts to get beach ready. I was...

    Has anyone here ever lost weight by going vegan?

    Kat, Personally, I think eating whole foods and eliminating empty calories is more critical to weight management than whether or not you eat animal products. You can eat a lot of junk or just too many calories while following a vegetarian or vegan diet. I'm not trying to discourage you...

    Veggars - tempeh?

    Be sure to steam or poach the tempeh as Kathyrn posted not matter how you are going to prepare it. I steam the entire package & then prepare 2 or 3 meals from it. I crumbled tempeh into a marinara sauce last night. I'll do a stir-fry with the rest of the block. Any sauce you would use to...

    Paul Chek's article on vegetarianism

    His resume doesn't list any academic degrees. But he has been mentioned/quoted in "Glamour" & "Shape". Seriously, before I listen to a stranger's advice, they need some credibility. This quote from his website doesn't help at all: "The serpent in all of US must master the earth and fire...

    Yoga and Strength training

    Gumby, you may want to post your question on the "Open Forum" & check at Videofitness.com which has a lot of knowledgeable yoginas. You also need to describe the yoga that you are practicing. Yoga can be very strenuous, spiritual, or merely stretching. All of my yoga instructors have...

    Will your workouts be available retail?

    SNM I think many of us remain confused about about the CCETV deal & whether it involves expanded distribution. Cathe was obviously very excited but it was pretty muddy as to what the "deal" involved. More information was promised, never appeared, so it's still as clear as mud...
