    Calling all tall ladies.....

    Target I am a little over 6' and bought a pair of Mossimo flare leg workout pants at Target for $30. They're perfect. Andrea

    Need a beginner Running Program

    Kim's advice is great. I just want to share my fave "getting into running" program. Each workout is done 3x/week. Warm up for 5-10 min. first. And of course always cooldown and stretch. Week 1: Run 2 min. Walk 4 min. Do 5x (30 min.) Week 2: Run 3 min. Walk 3 min. Do 5x (30 min.)...

    Did anyone use Cathe's step tapes while pregnant?

    I used Cathe while pregnant and did most of the moves low impact. I also gained twice as much weight with that pregnancy than with my first one. I really don't think 15 lbs at 5 mo. is too much. You may find that your baby grew a lot during that time and now he/she may slow down on growth...

    Has anyone had or considered a tummy tuck?

    My friend had one last May. She says she would do it all over again. She was in a lot of pain for quite a while. She also didn't have full range of movement for a few months. While she is glad the extra skin is gone, she is still not quite happy with her body cause she still wants to...

    Carpal Tunnel and planks substitution help

    I don't have CT, but I can't do pushups and the like because my wrist hurts way too much. I use pushup handlebars, or dumbells for straight arm planks, pikes, pushups, etc. Sometimes the stress of just holding onto the handlebar gives me pain in the back of my hand though, so be careful. Andrea

    My sad story

    Wait! Let's try something first. I also have more of an appetite when I am working out than when I am not working out. But, I have found the answer for me. If I workout too much then my eating is out of control. If I workout at what would be too little for most my eating is good and I look...

    Stationary Bike vs. Treadmill

    I own a V-bike (spin bike) and a treadmill. Spinning kills my legs, and gives a great workout. It's right up there with the IMaxes for me. Does your bike have a tension adjustment? I don't really know anything about regular stationery bikes. I like both my bike and treadmill though. Andrea

    S.O.S..........

    Hi Donna, I have read that a lot of the newer steps are doing that. So it probably didn't have anything to do with you. I bought mine in '93 and it's still in fine condition (if a little dirty). Apparently the original step company sold out to someone else and blah, blah, blah! There...

    How many Girl Scout cookies did you eat today?

    Hi Gretchen! Good to see you here! I forgot all about Girl Scout cookies since we don't have them here in the middle of nowhere. Guess I'll have to stock up next time I'm at the grocery store}( Andrea

    Debra-did you do your half?

    RE: Yep! That's a great time! I've also got something going on with my lower back on the right side and my right hip. I'm sticking to upper body and spinning this week. I got the new DVD's but don't really like the pyramid. I haven't done the lower body one yet, but have tried upper twice...

    Debra-did you do your half?

    Hi Debra, I know you have been training for your second half-marathon. I'd love to hear a report. I was thinking it was in January? Andrea

    Which Cathe Rotation Gave You the Best Results?

    S&H I was shocked when I did each S&H once a week and 3 days of intense cardio. It was awesome. Guess I need heavy weights! CTX does wonders for me too. Andrea

    Treadmills

    I agree I love my ProForm and it's 5 years old. The ones at WalMart are cheaper ($400) but the don't have power incline. I'm thinking that if you aren't going to run they would probably hold up well enought. My SIL has one and hasn't had any problems on it. Andrea

    Any of you have pull-ups as a goal?

    I found this at VF. I was working on pullups about a year ago and after about 4 mo. I got discouraged and quit. I just need to get the oomph to get started again. I make the excuse that with my long arms it may never happen. I've been stuck at 5 straight leg pushups for some time now:-(...

    I did Imax 2 for the 1st time this morning

    Me too HB! I also did IMax2 for the first time this morning. I always use a 4" step cause of my knees. I still had to modify some of the intervals, but I could do more of them unmodified than in IMax1. Fun! Andrea
