Happy Monday, Monday - MKeefe I’ve been to London twice and loved it. The weather was a mixed bag, I think - but I know I had a few days where it was nice. I saw a Cirque du Soleil here in Buffalo a few years back. It was wonderful. I just can’t get over the strength of the performers...

This is a question that I've been thinking about since my daughter was born - how will I handle it? The trouble is, her father smokes pot, and I have myself - but not for years. While it can be a gateway drug, it isn't always. Many people smoke pot and never try anything harsher (myself...

Could you do cardio on the days that you don't do STS? I have only 1 day during the week where I do both, and I break it up so I run in the morning before work and STS when I get home. The other days it's either cardio or STS. Everyone's schedule is different, so it may not work for you. And...

I doubt it. If you're tired and feel like you can't make it through another month, then it's probably time to take a break. Is it mentally tired, or physically? I'm also doing the 6.5 month rotation and just finished Meso 1. I gotta tell you... I've really been looking forward to Active...

My first time through STS, I couldn't do all the push-ups and did them on my knees. I just finished Meso 1 for the 2nd time through and sailed through the push-ups with straight legs. Don't worry, you'll get stronger. The good news is that Mesos 2 & 3 don't have all the push-ups.

Janis LMAO!!!! Yeah, I actually haven't noticed her form on the push-ups. I'm too busy trying to see if there's some way engaging my core can keep my skin from sagging while I'm planking. Unfortunately, I haven't found it yet. I've done the workout 3 times and there's this one spot where she...

Hey everybody! Just wondering...do any of you ever do an ab workout all by itself? I didn't have time to do abs last night, and don't have a workout planned for this afternoon so I thought maybe I'd just do abs. In Ab Circuits, Cathe says to warm-up before doing abs... does that mean I...

2 hours is a lot of time to devote to exercise everyday. Admittedly, 3 days a week, I do have about 2 hours allotted for it - but they're broken up. I get up early in the morning and run for anywhere between 40 - 60 minutes. During the week, I do that on Tues/Wed/Fri. In the evening after...

Evenin' ladies! Just popping on while I wait for my dinner to cool and see how everyone has fared for their workouts today. Janis indeed, I have tried Sean's workouts. I have most of them, but 8 is my favorite. When I started getting back into shape, the CC workouts were the only way I...

Kadet first off… I’m sending you a cross-Atlantic mental slap to the head! Write your novel for the love of writing, not because your goal is for publication, for F**k’s sake (as you Brits say). (That’s one of my favorites that I got from my coworkers in Canary Wharf office). If you predict...

I just bought that DVD too, but I haven't tried it yet. I haven't bought a kettlebell and am just finishing up Meso 1 of STS. I'll probably use Katami's as my 4th workout of the week during Meso 2. So far, though, I haven't made it past giggling with my daughter over the goofy picture of him...

Yeah, I didn't do the 1RM the first time through either. It does take a lot of time to do them all, so I just guessed what weight I'd normally use, then went to the next heaviest weight in my equipment. I adjusted as needed while I was doing the workout. Not the intended way to do it, but I...

Yeah, I'm with you Rapid! I hate the gym. I don't like having to GO somewhere to work-out, wait for machines, share equipment... I just like walking into my workout room and using my own stuff. Then if I don't feel like picking it up until later, I leave it there. And I like to choose which...

Maybe it's the economy keeping people from buying a gym membership and working out at home.

Just as I suspected would happen, the State of the Union speech kept me up late last night in “debate” with my BF. He loves to talk, and politics is one of his favorite subjects. We’re not completely on the same page with our politics, which makes the conversations fun – but he embellishes...

Do you program your weight & age into the treadmill? Mine is a cheapy and doesn't store that information, nor does it record my HR BPM. Your calories burned are dependent on all that stuff, so if it's not brought in to the calculation on the treadmill, it's only giving a guess based probably...

I get mine at my grocery store. I think I pay about $15 for a 2 week supply. If you eat meat and aren't lactose intolerant, try buffalo sirloin steaks and Greek yogurt. Buffalo steaks are much leaner than typical cattle and have a higher protein content. Greek yogurt has more protein than...

I like Gap's running shorts, but I get most of my stuff from Nike's clearance. I really like their U Back sports bra. I'll get stuff from TJ Maxx and Marshall's too, or at our local store for runners.

Hello Warriors Didn’t get to check-in yesterday. They cancelled school because it was “too cold”. Seriously! It was -7 degrees… this is Buffalo! Yeah, we don’t get many sub-zero days, but come on already… it’s like the tropics compared to the weather they’re getting around the country...
