    Imax 2 VS Body Max 2

    I love IMAX2. It's all step, simple choreography, and the music is very motivating. You'll do several circuits of basic step routines followed by intensity blasts (some plyometrics). It's around 50 minutes and you'll sweat. A great cardio workout. I don't have Body Max, but I'm sure it's...

    PLEASE ANSWER CATHE OR ANYONE ELSE

    i used only dumbells for sts and got great results. buy a weighted vest, weighted gloves, and increase the poundage as you go along. i bought 15, 20 and 25lb weights. it may be cheaper (and save space) to buy an adjustable speed pack up to 25lbs. i saw them in target (reebok brand). good...

    Still doing push-ups on my knees!

    do the push ups on your knees with a weighted vest if you have one. this will build up your strength to the point where you can do them on your toes. this worked for me, i used a 10 lb. vest.

    A word of advice

    "Never argue with a stupid or mean person, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." just thought i'd throw this out here. of course, everyone thinks the other guy is at fault when you're fighting and wanting to beat the other to a pulp into the ground. you...

    I really STINK at Meso 2 Leg Workouts

    I start Meso 2 tomorrow, I'm scared! Also, I've been so exhausted during this week of rest between Mesocyles! I'm thinking I might have done too much cardio during the first Meso that I've burned myself out...hoping it's just from the change in weather. :(
