    Lunges vs. Step-ups

    I use my fanny lifter which is 14". Can't wait for the mini step - then I can go a bit higher. I prefer the step up to the lunge. I feel I can keep better track of my form and it is easier on my knees, though dips or static lunges are no problem. It has made a difference in my behind...

    Asics anyone? - another shoe question!

    I am a new balance girl too. Love the 608's and I have a pair of walking, fitness and running shoes by NB as well. I tried Asics but I rapidly tore through the back of the shoes, twice - so I went back to New Balance. My folks live near the NB factory and outlet so I get to try on loads of...

    Question on lower body toning ..

    I have had the same concerns about heavy weights with lower body. I think (given the fantastic pages by Connie and Donna among others) that I will just take the plunge and go for it. Thanks for posting your photos. It really helps to see the results. My body is alot more toned and...

    I have worked out all my life and never did stepping. After reading about Cathe's tapes on this and the Ya Ya forum, I got Step n Motion I, Step Jam, Power Max, Imax, Power Hour, MIS, MIC, Body Max and the Pure Strength Series. The weight workouts are great and I can do them but was scared of...
