I'm looking forward to them for the same reasons as Marcy except for #1 (I'm more of a medium weight trainer :P) and #5 (I'm down to four workouts per week nowadays with a 2-month old and a pre-schooler to work around). Also, these workouts couldn't be timed better as I've got some baby weight...

I wish I could get that feature to work. I tried it for the first time with SJP a couple of days ago. I got all the way through the setup. It only let me set up 6 segments - of course, I wanted more. Then, when I hit start when prompted, my player dumped out of that dvd and advanced to the next...

Cathe - They sound great! Your timing with the 4-day split idea is perfect for me. Baby #2 is 8 weeks old (a boy) and I also have a 2 1/2 yr old girl. My workouts have gone from 5-6 days per week prior to having my son to 3-4 days and the duration of at least two of those workouts is less than...

My husband and I waited for both. We have a girl and a boy. When all was said and done, finding out the gender at delivery was something to look forward to (along with hearing my baby cry!). We thought for #2 we would find out sooner but decided we enjoyed not knowing with our first so much that...

Hi MB - I have had two c-sections, the first in Aug'04, the second 3 weeks ago. After the first, I started to just walk with my daughter in the stroller around the 3rd week postpartum. But I took it slow at first walking maybe 20-30 mins then adding to that every time I walked until I was...

I think a little more patience with your body and you'll start to see it restore again. It may not be like it was before but given time, I'm sure it will improve. I didn't have the split problem but I do know after my first I managed to train my abs and lower back into better shape than before...

With both #1 (now 2 1/2yrs old) and #2 (35 wks along - almost there!!) I colored. In fact, I have one more appointment scheduled before I deliver. I did a full color once during first trimester and then alternate full color and partial color from there on. Partial is just having my stylist color...

I'm also AFAA certified with several certifications from them, all of which have been very helpful as a group fitness instructor. I agree with Beth...study well and do expect scrutiny during the practical part where you have to demonstrate your abilities as an instructor. When I went through the...

Glancing through it I noticed there were no running times listed next to the premixes for Low Impact Step & Total Body Sculpting.

I LOVE my Ford Escape...have never had any issues. Have driven both the Fusion and Milan and like the Milan better. I want to try the Edge next. I once drove a Ford Escort and got over 135,000 miles on it and it wanted to keep going and going but I purchased a Mustang instead and I still have it...

I don't mind clarifying. The side lying exercise is simply lying on one side with hips/legs stacked, top hand behind head, bottom hand crossing in front of belly and resting on the top side, lift upper torso off the floor. You can leave the legs on the floor or lift them in the air slightly as...

Hi again - I sit on the floor with the stability ball in hands, knees bent and do alternating toe taps up to the ball. Cathe does do this move but I can't think what workout it's in (possibly PUB? I wish I could remember for you.). I can't say it works the lower abs very hard and it does...

Mostly I use a stability ball to do crunches. I did traditional crunches on an incline step bench up until a few weeks ago (I'm 29 weeks now). When it got uncomfortable I stopped and just use the ball now, no bench. Also on the ball I incorporated wood chops with a 10lb weight for a while. I...

I love L&G. It's challenging and fun. And the fact that KPC is on the same DVD as well as lots of great premixes, you won't be disappointed. Diana

I can't help you with Acupuncture comments as I've never tried it but I'm a huge fan of massage therapy. Have you tried it? With my first, I got into prenatal massage after I started to ache (low back, feet) and it helped me relax despite the pain (which really didn't go away until after she was...

I'm 23 wks right now (#2) and still have pretty good energy but I try not to exercise for more than 60 mins a day (sometimes it's just 40-45mins). I'm still working out 6 days per week (mainly 3 days cardio only, 3 days weights only) but I fully expect the fatigue to settle in again as it did...

As you can see, Chrissy, you are not alone. I'm 21 weeks w/ #2. Had morning sickness with both. This time it was worse. It lasted a couple of weeks longer, it was a little more intense, and the cravings were insane. I felt like some junk food eating alien had taken over and was tempting me with...

I'm another one that was ravenous during 1st trimester for both #1 and currently #2 (I'm 20 weeks now). Morning sickness seemed worse this time around and lasted longer. Eating helped keep it at bay for both. However, I've gained more now than with #1. My appetite has leveled off tremendously (I...

Congratulations! I'm 20 weeks now and still using some of Cathe's workouts but with modifications. I'm still using the same weight I was using prior to getting pregnant for muscle work but have noticed in the past week or two that it's getting harder. I'll most likely have to lighten the weights...

Congratulations on your new arrival! I had my first by c-section, started walking around 3 weeks pp then started regular workouts at low impact about 2 days before the 6-week pp mark. Waiting for 6 weeks and allowing my body to heal appropriately made starting back to workouts much more...
