    Gift Suggestion for hard to buy for people

    If you have someone on your gift list that has you stumped this year, here is a gift idea. For $25, you can have a care package sent to one of our troops serving abroad. This is a program that is part of the USO. I heard about it on the Bob & Tom radio program. You can do a tribute...

    How soon after miscarriage?

    Teresa, Just remember that everybody is different and your dr. will probably have a recommendation for you. But since you asked, here is my experience. I miscarried with my very first pregnancy at 11 weeks. The miscarriage happend in May 2000. I had to have an emergency D&C I think...

    Strength Training

    Susan, Thanks for the input! I don't understand why I am so confused. My first pregnancy seems like it was forever ago and now I have to re-educate myself. Way to go on staying with the workouts. That is so inspiring! Best Wishes, Tina

    Strength Training

    I JUST found out that I am pg. I have been working out with Cathe for 8 years, but I don't remember being so confused with my first pregnancy 5 yrs ago. As far as cardio goes, I am pretty clear on what modifications I need to make. Where I am confused is with strength training. I wasn't...

    Strange dog!

    My next dog will be a basset/lab cross. I think they are adorable! I have seen a few of them and I could tell instantly what the mix was. I think I actually like any dog crossed with a basset!

    Trouble feeling Dead Rows

    In addition to focusing on squeezing your shoulder blades, make sure you are keeping your shoulders down and back -- similar to the form for dead lifts. Don't let your shoulders drop forward or hunch up towards your neck. To really get the form correct, you may need to use a lighter weight...

    A-Jock's Turkey-Burner Mish-Mosh

    I don't have HSTA. How long is this premix? Would cardio only from BC be a good substitute? Any other suggestions to sub for this part? Thanks A-Jock. I needed a shake up for tomorrow. Tina

    Overtraining Question

    Are you experiencing any injuries or trouble completing your workouts? Have you had to decrease your weights in order to finish a workout? If you aren't having some kind of problem, I would be inclined to think that your current program is okay. The only time I have had to cut back on...

    Is there a list anywhere of the exercises in Leaner Leg...

    I was all set to reply again, but looks like you found what you were looking for! I know this workout by memory. Cathe doesn't sneak anything in on me, but I still cuss her when she demands the 2nd set of plie squats! As much as I don't look forward to doing this one, it stays in my...

    If you are a runner.....

    Thanks! This is my go-to rotation. Actually, I never change the rotation, except for vary a workout here and there. I have been doing this rotation for over a year and feel the best I have ever felt. My legs look as good as they have ever looked as well. I have recently started subbing...

    If you are a runner.....

    Honestly Morris, any of the 3 that you mentioned would be great. They all have their place in a rotation that includes running. I have recently added MuscleMax to my collection and have been using it in place of Muscle Endurance. Are you doing any strength training right now or just...

    Leaner Legs - Alternative

    The leg work in Muscle Endurance is pretty similar. Especially if you add a set of plie squats and a set of sit and stands and some calf raises. I will try to recount the exercises in LL 1. Warmup set of squats with no weight 2. Squats (varying counts and low ends) 3. Quarter Deadlifts...

    Mr. Smith goes to Washington and Ughhh! - Bill Clinton! - Thank goodness this is just for fun! I think I might have felt better had it come back with Hitler or Hussein!

    I thought breastfeeding and pumping would be easier!

    Oh Wendy, my heart is going out to you. I truly remember how agonizing those first few weeks were. They were blissful too, but the hormones and exhaustion really skew your perspective on things. Hugs, Hugs, Hugs. I had to use a nipple shield for my son. The lactation consultant gave it...

    No time for workouts. I just breastfeed and change diapers

    Kudos to you Wendy for even trying to workout!!! The other ladies are right though, it is probably too early to be placing such expectations on yourself! My son was 9 months old before I could actually get back into the swing of things. Life was just one huge adjustment and my energy was...

    The flu shot?

    Got mine just yesterday. I work at the local Health Department, so I get exposed to lots of things from all of the clients! I was a little tired last night, but that is normal for me. Feel fine today. I did Imax this morning with no side effects, except my arm occasionally ached during a...

    Lets talk compliments!

    I was talking to one of my coworkers this week about working out because she has recently gotten back into exercise and she has some weight to lose. I don't usually bring up my fitness regimen, because very few people really care or are interested. Anyway, my coworker mentioned that having...

    If you are a runner.....

    I have combined Cathe and running for quite some time. Here is the rotation that I just can't get away from. Day 1: Run 5 miles (road usually) Day 2: Leg workout (usually Leaner Legs) Day 3: Interval workout (one of the Imax's) Day 4: Circuit workout (Bootcamp) or upper body only...

    Circuit Max & Leaner Legs

    I gotta agree with Marla. I have had LL a long time and I remember that it used to be absolutely grueling. I have had it back in my weekly rotation for a couple months now and I have had great results, but I have to go quite a bit heavier than Cathe too. So, if you are thinking it isn't...
