    Tachycardia

    Since I know this forum is a wealth of knowledge, I figured I'd see if you guys had any thoughts on this. For the last several months I have been experiencing extended periods of tachycardia. By extended, I mean weeks. My resting heart rate has been between 90-100. I had a weeks reprieve...

    Just Ordered Those Cute Blue Rykas for $29.99!

    I got my Ryka's a week or so ago. They are by far the best pair of cross-trainers I have purchased. They were instantly comfy. No breaking in needed. I love them and have a feeling they will be my go to shoe from now on. Especially if I can find deals like this one!!

    Cast for Xtrain

    No offense to the guys in STS, but I agree with the previous poster. Their form was terrible!! Robert was probably the only one who I think did a good job and lifted the appropriate weight. Sometimes the guys were using 5lbs when Cathe and the girls were using 15lbs. I never understood that.

    Rkya's!

    I sooooooo want some of those blue Ryka's! Hubby would kill me, but I am so not liking my Nike feel free shoes. I need some comfy ones. I actually went back to wearing my old ascics.

    Music

    Music was definitely awesome! My favorite is what plays during the bonus core section on CrossFire. Loved it!

    To The Max breakdown of time, CB (Calories burned), MV (Met Value) and Equipment

    How can To the Max Extreme with no solid step(Premix 2) burn more calories than To the Max Extreme with the 7 minutes of step (Premix 1)? The step portion isn't just filler, it is very intense???

    We drink the cheapest bottled water we can find. Usually Walmart brand in the 20 oz bottles. We also have well water and tho we get a water report saying it's perfectly fine to drink, which I believe it is, I still prefer my water without any sediment...just sayin...

    feel fit wear distracting

    I've read in many different places that you feel better about working out when you like how you look. So if you meet a goal, then a good treat for yourself is a new workout outfit. Even if you workout at home, it's been said that people stick with it longer if they feel good in what they're...

    feel fit wear distracting

    I do notice the clothes and like most of them. However, I would never let it distract from my workout or not buy a workout just because a piece of clothing might be distracting. I feel like if you're focusing that much on the clothes, then you're not focusing enough on the actual workout. JMHO.

    CrossFire - WOW!

    I was noticing how amazing Cedi looks. She has always been a role model for me. She's so slim and trim. Love it.

    Can you do STS w/o turbo tower?

    I've done STS 3 times (and then some) without the tower. I use a weight bench and a pull up bar. Pretty simple. the bench part of my weight bench folds up to save space. The first time I tried STS I had to go out during Meso 3 to get the bench. There's no way I could lie down on the step...

    So it's not just water weight you lose? Seems too good to be true :)

    How much is the step used in Athletic Training?

    I think you would be fine using your small step. At one point she does put the step on it's end to use to help you balance when you do some hamstring work, but you could just use a broom or something else.

    STS total body or High Reps???

    IMO, STS total body is by far the more challenging of the 2. Both are excellent workouts and I would suggest ordering both since you're going to save that 30%. You'll only pay the shipping one time and really, what's another 15 bucks when it comes to your fitness and health!! At least that's...

    HiiT Workouts - calorie afterburn question

    Of course I'm not Cathe, but IMO, count the 312. That's what HiiT workouts are all about. The afterburn effect. My hr monitor only registers about 150 for the 16-20 minutes of those HiiT workouts. I KNOW I burn more than that, but probably not until the afterburn effect is done. Again, no...

    Calories needed per day?

    If you're eating 1200 calories a day and not losing weight, then I would have to say there's something wrong in the way you're counting. Do you count everything thing that goes into your mouth? A handful of cereal? A couple of chips or pretzels? Little bites off the kids plates? These...
