Congratulations! I used the CTX series a lot when I was pregnant a couple of years ago and found it easy to modify the routines that had intervals and higher impact. The Step & Interval routine I found very easy to take the jumping/high impact out of the interval portion and just do the moves...

Oh I know, they all look so great. I think "dazzling" is a great word! I was showing my husband the blog and he thinks they all look great, too, but of course he was looking for Rhonda!! ;-)

Thanks for the message, Christy. The passage of time really stands out when a child grows. I get quite emotional about it! I teach group fitness so I hope my workouts do set a good example. All the fit moms here are setting good examples. Your two little ones are adorable, by the way. Take care...

I can't get over how time flies. My emotions are running high today as I'm just so happy to be a mom and seeing her grow has just been so amazing. I know you all can relate. All the changes the first year are amazing but the changes from year 1 to 2 are just as wonderful and amazing. How her...

Sometimes there are days when I really want cereal for dinner but since I usually have cereal for breakfast (the healthier varieties), I guilt myself into having a salad instead to get vegetables. But I usually wish I had eaten the cereal!

I had a c-section 2 years (dd will be 2 tomorrow, in fact!). My abs are stronger now than before I got pregnant. But it didn't happen overnight. I was really put off by the fact that I couldn't do reverse curls right away. At my 6-wk check-up, my dr said it would take about 12 weeks. And it did...

Gin Miller is a good instructor and has some low impact and beginner workouts to choose from. You might like Simply Step.

You might want to consider pre-ordering Body Max 2 and/or Drill Max. I also recommend SB/SJP. Also Power Hour+ and Rhythmic Step+ would be good additions.

I had to do the same thing because I moved in December. I e-mailed [email protected] with my old and new address. Someone (Nancy) replied the same day. She needed the invoice # or the approximate date of the pre-order to process the address change.

In my book, SJP is harder but C&W is a little more fun. I like to do SJP like a Body Max, do all the cardio first, then do the weight training. That's only because I really like hi/lo and don't like to break it up with the weight circuit. Sometimes I just do the cardio only premix. I did C&W...

For me with KM, my heart rate doesn't really get going until 20 minutes into the workout when Cathe does starts doing some jumping jacks. But I'm always glad for the lower impact up front because the 10 drills are killer tough for me. I think KPC gets the heart rate going much sooner and keeps...

Hi Debbie - How exciting for you! I'm definitely not pregnant. I have no idea why my period showed up so early. Just one of those things, I guess (but it sure doesn't help when TTC!). The first symptom I had with my first was sore nipples and then shortly after I had a heavy, bloated feeling...

Oh Lorrie - You are truly blessed to have had someone like that in your life and to have been able to say goodbye. What a very special person she is. Thank you for sharing your story. Diana

If you really want to concentrate on muscle building, I'd go for the GS workouts, PUB/PLB, and S&H for splits; and MM and MIS for total body. I don't know what you already have but those would be first choices for strength training and no cardio. BM is the first workout I may reach for after a...

Thanks for the responses! I find it interesting how varied each woman's early symptoms are and how they can differ each pregnancy. Not preggo yet - my period showed up 8 days early! That's unusual for me as I'm very regular. We'll see how it goes this month.

I did this workout this morning after being on vacation for a week and not doing much of anything. I wanted cardio and to work each body part which this workout does. The upper body portion can give you a good strength workout if you use heavier weight (which I actually find a little more...

This is great news and what a great way to start the weekend!! :) Thanks for the thorough update. I can't wait see the new workouts.

If you have GS Legs and like it, you won't be disappointed with the GS upper body workouts (definitely get those before considering S&H). Low Max is a must-have in my workout book. Also, KPC/Legs & Glutes. Muscle Max is a great total body workout, my favorite next to ME. I consider High Step...

Hey Christy - I recognize you from the pregnancy check-ins in 2004! My daughter Nora was born in August '04 (I can't believe she's almost 2!). Congratulations on your second. I'm glad to see you are able to fit your workouts in with two. I often wonder how hard/easy that will be if I have...
