As far as push ups go... I know this sounds stupid.. but do them on an decline for a few weeks. You will fail (I did!) and probably not do all the reps, but then when you go back to the normal ones.. you'll feel like a super hero!!!!

I'm not sure sleep is all of it. I really find if the workout is long and intense, no matter how rested I am, how much/what I've eaten, about an hour after.. I'm knackered. I feel like I'm starving.. and completely exhausted (not hunger starving, just energiless). It is FINE though, if I have a...

I did! But it's partly because I was using a barbell for STS which I find much easier. However, I found that I was quickly able to make improvements, quicker than before STS.. particularly on flys. Stick with it :)

A jock, I have definitely decided that you are AWESOME :D Ooh.. what fun/pain (i'm sure the two are synonymous!) Thank you!!! Just what the doctor ordered for tonight :)

Just wanted to let you know that I did it last night! I did it the way you do it, Vee, and it was much more comfortable. I didn't last long, and I did face plant.. but I was just so proud. But i think i'll leave the headstand for a while! Thank you both for your help! :)

I either do the apple and peanut butter thing (YUMM).. or.. my very favourite (it may be a bit weird).. An orange bell pepper, a teaspoon of peanut butter, a tablespoon of low fat greek yoghurt :) Yummm :) Afterwards, it's a protein shake for me!

I've just looked at the linksand I think your crow looks much better! I really struggle getting my knees high up enough into my arm pit... I'm gonna try yours :)

Wow! Thank you! You look amazing doing that! I'm very jealous :) I'll definitely keep trying. thank you for all the tips :) x

I have recently been trying to incorporate Yoga into my routine, as a way to get in deep stretching, and improve flexibility. I have a question about the crane pose. I struggle with arm balances because when my shin bone comes into contact with my upper arm, it HURTS! not muscular hurt, but...

Fitness Freak's December 08 rotation combines these, and is FABULOUS :)

Amy is AWESOME! She really is. I Love her hi lo and kickbox the most though. Although the choreography is harder to pick up than cathe's. Her kickbox surge really is excellent. And I love her hi'lo cardio knockout (but it's hi/lo, not kickbox). They really are quite intense. But she deliberately...

I'm in the Uk and I'm DYING for them to get here! WIll probably be another two or three weeks though :( Have you tried the Hi lo Dynamics? :eek:

Cardio Core Circuit! It may be short.. but it's good cardio. Also, her HIIT dvd.. they may be short workouts, but it's dead easy to double up, and it's a really good dvd. For step, Athletic step is quite intense, just again, quite short. Have you got any of the 2006 series? Drill max...

I do the same! Only with Banana :) yummm :D

He he Lorrie. It definitely is one of those things... if there's no other reason.. it HAS to be the great vowel shift! :) Your husband's got it right! :)

You are right. THat's why I like Bill Bryson's book so much. He tells the story of the English language, no matter WHERE in the world it occurs. So he dedicates a lot of time to the differences between Uk English and US English. It really can be amusing how different the two are though...

I LOVE this about English... and I think it DOES make sense. Before the great vowel shift, a lot of these words will have been pronounced the same way: through/though would have had the same vowel sound. But as for the 'gh' sound, before English began to soften (largely a resul of french...

My best results have come from deciding to work out in the mornings aswell. I usually would work out for an hour and a half in the evenings. I decided to switch this to 30 minutes in the morning, and an hour in the evening. I am SO much stronger it's unbelievable. And I can do my Insanity...

I know EXACTLY what you mean :) I used to really feel jealous watching other people eat 'nice' food, cakes, biscuits, burgers, creamy things, cheesy things... now I just think 'thank goodness I have my fat free greek yoghurt, peanut butter, bell peppers and oats. You could offer me 'nice' food...

:) he hee... my bench pressing 60 lbs is definitely something that has to be done on a night when I've slept well :) And i took the advice, I finally found some cheap ankle weights at home! So dvds it is :) So.. hmmm... now I have more of a dilemma. But I'm definitely going for 4ds...
