    Need some P90 (NOT X) advice.

    Thank you both! I wish I could find a clip somewhere, but so far, have not had luck with that. I would prefer that he just do the X and modify as needed. If the workouts are at all boring, he won't do them. I need to read up on the 1/2, 3/4 and master's series. Not clear on those. Thanks...

    Need some P90 (NOT X) advice.

    So, DH does not work out. He does not enjoy any aspect of it, but he will walk his dogs, albeit at a slow pace and only about 3 times a week, and has started biking *some*. Again, only 2-3 days at the most, and never far or too fast. He travels Mon-Thurs and would need to do band work but has...

    Question for Road Bikers - what do you ride?

    Debbie - when I saw you as the last person to post, I KNEW you were thinking motorcycles :) Becky - I did my first tri on a hybrid bike and you certainly see plenty of people out there on cheaper bikes. Like one of the event leaders said at my last race, it is always fun, if you are on a...

    STS Legs - Squat Rack

    This was my favorite part of STS! I got a squat rack on craigslist free. She was asking something like $20 or so and I went to pay her and she said just take it. Would not take anything at all. I bought a can of spray paint and it looks brand new. So, check places like that. It isn't a...

    Cardio Coach Compendium

    Oops - I got off track... Debbie - thanks for doing this. I have them printed out by workout with the details but this is super - much more concise.

    Cardio Coach Compendium

    I do the same thing with the notebook but I took my DVDs out of the cases and put them in zipper cases, in order of the notebook with the DVD cover in front of the printed out page...so I need more than one notebook and numerous DVD cases but they all match :)! They are arranged by type of...

    HARDCORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR TUES 9/15

    Linda - yes, I posted there last night. Thanks for pointing it out though! So strange that yesterday morning, I spent a while on the computer looking it up, and then she posts about it later in the day. And yippee for DOMS in the chest! I had some of that from the P90X ten thousand...

    HARDCORE FITNESS MANIACS FOR TUES 9/15

    Hey Everyone!! I have been working out maniac style still, just not checking in. I started my rotation with STS/P90X and must say, I really, really like it. I am now on week two of STS and I am starting the week with legs and like that so much better. So, I've done week 1 of STS, a week of...

    Cathe, I know it's none of my Go**amn business

    Amber - you look great, woman! I am just a tiny bit over 5'9"...Cathe and crew are so petite. DD is the shortest in her class and it doesn't bother her most of the time but when it does, I point out people like Cathe and how great they look, and the fact that the petite section of clothing...

    STS shocked the hair off my head! Telogen Effluvium anyone?

    Lori - totally funky you wrote about this today! My hair has been falling out for a few months now and today, I just had enough and spent a while researching it all, and TE fits perfectly. I bought some shampoo and conditioner today and also realized that it started very soon after starting a...

    iTrain H.E.L.P.!!!

    Is there a way to download more than one file at once on itrain.com??? I bought the unlimited resolution package last year and have yet to get them all because it is so frustratingly slow! Thank you :)

    Math

    Hi there - Cathe includes the weight of the bar - so total weight that she is lifting is what she gives - weights and bar combined. I think the bar she uses is light though. I have a 12lb (even though it is supposed to be 15 so weigh whatever you get) and an actual 15lb bar. The good thing...

    Question for Road Bikers - what do you ride?

    Actually, meowracer comes from when I raced motorcycles! I do not race road bikes but I would like to get into it. I have just begun competing in triathlons and have only had the bike since July. My bike had a list price of something like $3600, I think, maybe $3500 and I paid $2400. It was...

    The Side "Stitch"

    I have also read that being dehydrated will make it happen too. I found this to be definitely true when I went out to run, knowing I hadn't drank enough water prior, but not wanting to drink right before the run. Immediately, almost, it happened. Lesson learned...and I was mad at myself...

    Question for Road Bikers - what do you ride?

    Hi there- congrats on the MS150! Yes, if you are going to do much riding, you need to move beyond the hybrid, as you have discovered. I ride an Orbea Diva and L.O.V.E. it. I found it at the LBS, and it was a leftover from the previous year models so I got a great deal on it, plus paid cash...

    Any opinions/info on Synthroid??

    Thanks, Laura - you know me, I will research it all! My doctor does not believe that generics are as consistent with the dosages, and there is plenty out there to support that fact. Probably, for the most part, it would be ok but I only take the name brand. He is an internist who...

    Any opinions/info on Synthroid??

    And the doctor is most likely right - that the birth of your baby knocked it out of whack. That is somewhat common. Nothing you can do about it but take the pills and you may find that you feel so much better, not realizing now that you don't feel so great. That's how I was - didn't realize...

    Any opinions/info on Synthroid??

    Wow - that is major high. You need to make sure that they do all thyroid tests, not just TSH. They need to also check your T3 levels - a full thyroid panel. I am surprised you are not horribly sluggish, moody, depressed, tired, hair falling out, dry skin, constipated and overweight! The...

    Low Intensity Experiment: Continued

    Oh, and what about kickboxing with weighted gloves?? Have you tried anything like that?
