When moving up the step height, you may want to just try doing a couple of the intervals at 6-inches. Imax 2 is easy to do this way, since the first 4 intervals are somewhat easier (intensity wise). Maybe each week try doing, just one more interval at the next height. ETA: Be very cautious...

Hi Marla, I live about 40 miles from Macon and have to make regular trips there for meetings. I am guessing that you have done as much research on the internet and found most of the usual informational resources, so I will try to enlighten you a bit. Macon is a relatively small...

Last night I had an idea for the get together. Would anybody be interested in swapping Cathe vids/DVD's for a while. I have to admit that right now, there are several of my videos and DVD's that are collecting dust, so if somebody wanted to "test drive" some of them that they don't have yet...

I actually got my husband to do PUB a few times back in the spring. After I got done laughing at his attempt at the warm up, I helped him decide what weights to start with (based on what weights I can handle). It was so hard not to gloat when I realized that I could lift heavier than him...

When things like this happen, I like to let the results do the talking. I put on a tank top, so everybody can see my biceps and shoulders and I make sure to wear shorts that show the lack of cellulite in my calves! Most of my friends and family don't say too much, because they don't want to...

Thanks for the responses. I really didn't think that how I hold the weight could make that much of a difference, but it just feels easier when I hold the DBs at my sides, so I was wary of anything that seems "easier." Using 2 DBs will allow me to keep increasing the weights that I use...

I accidentally voted for 10/8 and that is the weekend that I can't be available. I was actually trying to vote for 10/15, but 10/1 will probably work too. The Galleria would be a great choice of locations, because I actually know where that is. I am travelling 2 hours from the West, so...

I recently increased my weights on Muscle Endurance. I have often wondered if it makes any difference on leg presses if you hold one dumbell/plate at chest level (like Cathe and Crew) or if you hold 2 dumbells down at your sides (like in LL). I was using a single 25lb dumbell, but now have...

Hi Ladies, I live about 2 hrs west of St. Louis (just north of Columbia). I would love to be about to join the get together. My September and October are kind of crazy, but let me know what is convenient for everybody else and I will see if I can make it. Thanks, Tina

Thanks ladies for all of your responses. In the back of my mind I knew that I should have had an overwhelmingly positive test by now, but I couldn't explain why I was so late. Anyway, I still can't explain it, but Mother Nature caught up and I am not pregnant. You all are killing me with...

The anticipation of knowing that I am pregnant is really killing me. I don't remember having to wait this long with my first child (over 3 yrs ago). I did a HPT yesterday (Tuesday) and it still showed negative. I did one the day before (Monday) and it showed a very very very faint positive...

It isn't much consolation, but sooner or later, this too shall pass. Parenthood is not easy. Just know that you are not alone and all of the feelings that you are experiencing are very rational and normal. What would be abnormal is if you were actually thinking about having a 2nd child...

Autumn, I share an office with a PAT educator and she gave me this handout a few weeks ago. I thought it was really interesting too. Does this explain why my 3 yr old loves broccolli and green peppers? I am sure it does has something to do with his chocolate addiction!!! Tina

I am wondering how early anyone experienced pregnancy symptoms. I have a 3 1/2 yr old son and I don't remember really having any symptoms until 6 weeks or so. My DH and I just started TTC this month. I am 99% sure that I ovulated last Thursday. I am trying to rationalize why I am...

Today was my first shot at LowMax as well. I don't know why I hadn't tried it yet. I was so suprised at how quickly the workout seemed to go by. The choreography was really great and my legs are feeling kind of achey right now. It was a really refreshing break from the high impact. I know...

Susan, That is my least favorite move in the whole workout and I can't explain why! I also really despise the outer thigh and glute sweeps at the end, but at that point I know I am almost done, so I can tolerate them! This is a great overall leg workout! It targets some of the muscles...

I gotta agree with the Asics 310TR as well. When Ryka did fail me, I found these through Road Runner Sports. I didn't mention them in my previous post, because I couldn't remember the model #. Mine are old, but they are my chore/lawn shoes now. They are an excellent shoe. I probably bought...

RE: Tina! I am not even looking at the word and I am giggling. It is major news at our house if somebody accidentally lets one go while they are sleeping. :) Thanks for waking me up after my sugar-induced lunch coma! Tina

I feel so much better knowing that my husband is "normal". He has a drink or two everyday and that has been bothering me some lately. It used to be just beer, but now he has a thing for whiskey and diet Pepsi. I guess he just really likes the taste of it. Maybe that explains why he has...

All of the time. I can't stand to wear a shirt in the Missouri humidity. If I start out with a shirt on, I will shed it after a mile. This past January 1st, it was so unseasonably warm and humid, I did a New Year's day run in shorts and a bra (started out with a shirt). Very atypical for...
