Hi all!!! A little more than a month ago I had a quite serious operation (with a 10% chance of success) when my colon erupted. Luckily I survived (with a colostomy which I have to keep for 3-4 months, before going back on the table to have it removed). The doctors said I have a very strong body...

I love XTrain, too. And Ripped kicked my butt this last month!

Hi, Nathalie. You can find it in the Newest Rotations list in Workout Manager. Christos

[Edited] Hi all! I just created this rotation with the undulating approach in mind. Tried to add these notes to the rotation itself but they didn't seem to save. Anyways, this rotation is made up of one week body splitting at 10 reps, one week at 12 reps and one week at 16 reps, followed by...

Happy New Year, I'm running Yosemite, followed the instructions of completely removing Workout Blender and re-installing it, but workouts do not get imported. I can drag and drop them, then the pop up window comes up saying it is importing the file but after 12 hours it is still there but no...

Thanks, Curt. I did notice that while preparing the premix, WB takes too long for some parts and works very fast on others (e.g. going from 10% to 60% might take almost 30'-45' and just a few minutes to go from 60% to 100%). Christos

I managed to create the premix for BURN SETS Premix 2 Bi's & Tri's + Core #1, the core segment was correctly inserted before the stretch, but the aspect ratio was distorted. I'm using the latest version of WM, on a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.2. I am attaching a snapshot of the Bi's & Tri's...

Hey Cyn! You are most welcome! I hope you find it as effective as I did!

I'll have to rent a flat share... So no workout room I'm afraid... Also I can't afford taking all those weights with me or buy new ones. Besides I'll be coming home once a month or so, so I'll be able to catch up with Cathe.

It's official... I'm moving to London at the end of August, starting work for the London 2012 Olympic Games Organizing Committee in the Accreditation Department. I am really excited even with all the fuss of relocating! Greece is going through a really steep financial decline right now and I am...

Change of plans... Wish me luck!!! Great news! I was just hired to work for the Special Olympics Organizing Commitee here in Athens for the next 4 months. And on top of that I applied for a job for the London 2012 Olympic Games. I'm waiting for a positive response from London, and here's where...

I bought the quad-fold Reboundair a few years back. It's sturdy and bulky and you can fold it in 4 so it doesn't take up too much space. I recall it being a bit pricey, though...

Hi all! Thought I might offer my 2c here... 1. If you wear the wrong shoe and are an over-pronator, rebounding might give you IT band syndrome (I learned it the hard way, am an over-pronator AND wore jogging shoes on my rebounder) so be careful. 2. Rebounding does wonders to your...

Thanks for your advice! I just checked online for apartments around Broadway and found a few (starting at $1200 which is quite reasonable). It's a bit soon but I like to keep things under control early on. Chris.

Linda, yes, I will definitely visit Cathe's studio - although I really wanted to go to the Florida road trip... oh, well... Regina, that's cool! I heard the best things about Tisch... hope they accept me! One thing I learned while travelling abroad (and spending months studying in Leeds, UK)...

Thanks! I still can't believe the wheels are turning towards this direction! It's exciting AND scary!!! Athens, the part I'm living in anyways, is so laid back and relaxed, that the hectic life of NY will sure make a difference... And going back to school... phew!!! Got to gather all my...

Hi all! I have finally made the big decision to apply for a second M.A. in Cinema Studies at Tisch. Age doesn't matter when you feel the urge to further your education, right? Anyways, I know the process is going to be long with all the paperwork I need to collect. That is one part of the...

Happy shopping!!! You won't regret it. Getting the equipment for your workouts is the next best investment (the first is buying the DVDs!!!). Using the correct equipment will make your workouts run smoother and more comfortable, won't take your mind off proper form and will give you the results...

Yes, the way your hands will hold the curl bar will put your wrists in a slanted position. You won't be able to hold a thumb-less grip, push with the whole of your palm and keep your wrists vertical. The curl bar is perfect for biceps, pullovers and lying tricep extensions, though. The only...

I'm afraid you won't be able to do the overhead shoulder presses with the curl bar. And, yes, the clamps will work fine with your curl bar. One other thing I forgot to mention before is the time you save when you have both bars (straight and curl) loaded and ready for your workout, You won't...
