Collage ratings are dubious. I don't believe most of them. They exaggerate many upward and mistakenly downgrade the level of many others. Personally, I think Collage claims their testers to do all the workouts when in reality they only do parts of each.

Many, many (((((((((((hugs)))))))))) to you fitatfifty.

After all the commentary about the music in Trisets, I did this workout last night and wondered what all the fuss was about?? I LIKED that the beat was ignorable. I slowed down the reps slightly on most of the lower body moves so I could make sure my form was solid on each rep because of the...

ITA! Since McQueary (a 28 yo man) lacked the basic human instinct to 1) stop the rape of a 10 yo child and 2) call the police, Mr. Honor himself (Joe Pa) should have called the cops and gone to them w/ McQueary once he heard what happened. Once Joe Pa & his cronies swept it under the...

When my PF was really bad, I wore cross trainers for barre workouts. It was especially helpful during work when you are standing on one leg. Now that my PF has subsided, I do barre workouts in grippy socks, no shoes. Joan

Our school district introduced the Univ. of Chicago math program about 9 yrs ago where they teach more advanced concepts at earlier grades & "spiral up" the complexity as the kids get older. They were so gung ho on this & raved about how great it was going to be. Fast forward to this...

DITTO!! A 16 yo girl killed herself in our town over the summer. She'd been partying w/ her older brother (also underage!) & twin brother in her parents' home FOR HOURS while her mother was upstairs!! She drove into a tree at over 100 mph and split her range rover SUV in two! Never saw the...

LOL!! :D Great review!

I love KCM's kickboxing workout and like her Cardio Blast, but I find this presale 100% resistable. :confused: Why doesn't she make more kickboxing workouts??

Can you amp up the level of resistance high enough where you have to stand on the pedals? If so, I don't why it wouldn't work. I plan to use my Cybex commercial grade stationary bike for it. I do standing pedal work on mine all the time, np. HTH

It's no longer a faux pas to wear black to a wedding, especially an evening one. You might want to add some bright accessories, fun earrings, red shoes/purse, things like that. :) HTH and have fun! Joan

Such sad news. :( I love this quote from his Stanford Univ. commencement address in '05 “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions...

I can imagine how painful it is to watch your daughter cry during her PT sessions. I wondered if you could do shorter PT sessions now then build up? Also, can the PT give you exercises you can do w/ her so it's not such a shock to her system when she does this work in PT? Is he doing anything...

GREAT PIX!! Everyone looks fantastic and the workout looks wonderfully brutal!! :eek:

I haven't heard of any new workouts coming out of Chalene, weights or otherwise. She's busy writing a book for Rodale Press (due out in November, 2011) and branding herself as a social media & motivational expert. (She's holding very pricey seminars on these topics.) I hope she gets...

Hi Lynda & Fit Fanatic, You guys rock! Sending ((((((((hugs)))))))) & healing vibes to you both as you journey back to 100% health. I love the Anti-cancer book recommended above. We gave it to my DMIL when she was recently diagnosed w/ stage 3C ovarian cancer. She's found it very...

My DH had horrible toenail fungus for over 15 years. His toenails looked truly awful! His doctor prescribed Lamisil and the fungus cleared up w/in a 2-3 months. It hasn't recurred in 10 years. Totally worth it!

She also does P90x. :)

I find many of the calorie burn estimates on the workout manager are way, way higher than what I show on my GoWearFit. In general, I think there is a tendency among fitness dvds to inflate workout calorie burn for the average person. I've never come close to 1000 calories per hour than some...

My DD had patellar tendonitis & ITBS last summer from running. Her orthopedist said not to do any quad work as it would aggravate her tendonitis. (this even precluded running in a pool, which is often recommended for runners w/ knees issues.) She worked w/ an awesome Certified Athletic...
