I have a new-found respect for SS/PP after I got a puppy! I can get a nice full body workout in less than an hour. It's great for when you don't have a ton of time but feel the need to work every muscle. Good stuff. Alexis

Kathryn, You've got me interested in this one! Eye candy AND a good workout? Where do I sign? :) Alexis

I'm pretty sure the benefit of holding the barbell in the underhand position under your chin is so that you don't fall over! It has more to do with where the center of gravity is in a given position. Squats and lunges can be performed with the barbell on your back because your tush sticks out...

Barbara, no, I intentionally went out and bought a puppy! Go figure. But it's fun and I'm mostly happy. If she dumps the water dish one more time though, I'm gonna scream!

Barbara my sweetie! How ya doing? I have a puppy so I've been VERY busy mothering the munchkin. She's only 10 weeks old but I think we're both gonna live thru it. It was touch and go for awhile! HA! We need to celebrate your 1000th post! So glad I could help you reach the big time! What...

I bought the 3 VHS tapes used some time ago and was thinking about upgrading to DVD. Are there any premixes on the DVD? What will the DVD do for me that the VHS doesn't? Thanks, Alexis

RE: Thanks so much, everyone! How about a global positioning compass? How about a HUGE ball of string? Or a bag of breadcrumbs? I know, I'm sick. Re-read this in 3 days and maybe you'll smile then :P . Just for the record, by tomorrow you'll probably start feeling "almost" normal again...

My vote is for individual DVDs with the Hardcore Extreme (and maybe a 2nd HE2) comprised of all premixes. One DVD for cardio, the other for weights. That way, anyone who wants the premix can purchase it on a separate DVD. I think that would please everyone. Silly me! Alexis

I've watched this thread for awhile. When I first read the title I laughed. Answer: Hell no! Everything changes but to say I look better at age 54 than I did at 18!!! I cannot tell a lie: I was young, thin, energetic but not particularly athletic. I danced (ballet and tap) three times a...

Kathy, I am so glad everything is OK. I know the feeling of thinking something terrible happened to your child because they're missing. I truly empathize with you. It'll take another day or two to feel somewhat normal. Isn't it weird how you feel like you're dying one minute and then...

This was your intro to yoga? Oh, Lordy, Lordy. I would have quit if my first yoga tapes made me sweat like this! Alexis

Janice, Yes, I feel like that sometimes. Not often though. Kinda self-defeating, ya know? But let me get this straight. You thought you'd buy P90X and have it mastered in a couple weeks? Really? I bought P90X with great fear and trepidation, but eventually said, "It'll be fun. What the...

My prayers and best wishes to you. My neighbor had colon cancer that went undiagnosed for years. He had most of his colon removed and a permanent colostomy. He also underwent chemo. It is now NINE years later and the guy is the picture of health, fitness, and happiness. You have our support...

I'm on Week 2 of the Classic Rotation. The first time I did each workout, I was pretty sore. Even doing knee-push-ups became hard by the 12th set! And I'm not even talking about pull-ups! For some reason, Ab Ripper killed me the first time but I could do it. Now, I actually look forward to...

Hi Lori! I have two grown boys so I'm not much help in the girl department. However, that won't stop me from putting in my 2 cents! When the boys were small, I vividly remember that I needed to change the way I dealt with the boys from time to time. You do what's appropriate for the age...

Pinky gave you a good source with Paula's cosmeticcop site. Bobbi Brown is wonderful too and you can find a match by going to a store as opposed to mail order. I've never tried BE but have heard good things about it, and another is Jane Iredale. Good stuff. Now if you'd like to go crazy...

I have the same problem. I jump up almost screaming in agony! I'm thinking it's because I have tight hamstrings to begin with. And after working my legs so hard, they just cramp up easily. When I do L&G, if I remember, I do those hamstring/glute raises right after warming up. No problem...

Boy, do I understand! I go through the same thing every year. This year, my dad passed away two weeks before school ended and I had spent over a month (off and on) on the East Coast caring for him. I had TONS of stuff to catch up on and pretty much finished it before the last day of school...

I agree with Clare. $50 is a lot of money! For my son's friends who graduated this year, his very good friends, we gave a stand-up photo album with pics of the guys together over the years and $30 in an envelope. It totalled about $50 anyway. But this gift was for friends who literally have...

Thanks, Kathryn. That's the information I was looking for! Alexis
