I am in Mid-Missouri and the GNC at the mall had the Tri-o-plex bars, but I don't think they had "all" of the flavors that everyone has talked about.

I had the same exact experience with Phase 1 of SB as what Fitnut described! I totally crashed at day 6 - dizziness and no energy. I have mentioned previously that I think the diet teaches you how to make better food choices; however, it does not address individual who seriously exercise...

Can you get your mileage in with only running 3 days per week? I am training for a half marathon and have found that running only 3 days per week, I don't get in enough mileage to really increase the distance of my long runs. I have recently cut back on some of my non-running workouts, to...

Hi Fitnut, I did SB earlier this spring and have used the info from the book to "clean up" my diet. I have let a lot of bad carbs back into my diet, so I need to get back to making better choices, but I like the concept behind the "eating plan." Just one word of warning - You may need to...

I have had the same question recently. I have been doing extra oblique work (especially from ME and CW) and I have started to notice that my clothes are tighter in the waist. It is good to hear that others have noticed this type of change as well. I believe that I haven't been doing as much...

Gail, I agree that your elliptical trainer is not accurate. According to fitsource.com, an average 150 lb person will burn approximately 648 calories per hour on an elliptical trainer. My treadmill has a calorie counter on it and no matter how much I would like to think it is accurate, I...

Hi Danna, It is tough to get used to A.M. workouts, but this is the only time of day that many of us are guaranteed to get our workouts done. Be sure to start out slowly and with workouts that aren't too tough. What I mean is, don't attempt Imax 1 in the a.m. until you are used to a.m...

Hi Mic, I have been using PUB atleast twice a week for the past several months. I love this workout and the results that I have gotten from it. I am heavily muscled to begin with, but this workout has given me great definition in my biceps, triceps and shoulders. I love to wear sleeveless...

JulieMom, You probably just added running back into your routine too quickly. It does take your body some time to adjust to the different type of impact of running. Running is much more repetitive than the cardio and weights that your body is used too, so you really need to listen to your...

Michele, I am wondering the same. I am training for a half marathon as well and want to incorporate Cathe workouts into the training. I discussed this idea with an very experienced runner and his advice to me was "The only thing that will make you a better runner is running." That is...

Hi ladies, I am considering starting training for a half marathon this fall. Can anybody recommend any good books or websites with training programs that involve cross-training? I will probably only run 2 times per week and still try to do an interval workout and a kickboxing workout, as...

Sabine, Thank you for your post! I needed to hear that somebody else has so many doubts about how they look too. I too typically wear a size 6 now, but most of my life I have been somewhat larger. Never really overweight, but just bigger. I don't know that I will ever be able to look at...

Nancy, I have been using PUB for a long time because I love the results that I get. I use the same weights that Cathe uses for flys and presses. She uses, 12 lbs, 15 lbs and 20 lbs. Yes, the presses are pretty easy for the first 2 sets, but I am still challenged when I do the heavy set and...

Michelle, Just one more thought if you don't want to take any weights with you - buy some after you get there and return them before you head home. Obviously just keep your receipt and you shouldn't have a problem at most retail stores.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am going to follow up with my dr., but in the meantime, plan to work on cleaning up my diet and eliminating the foods that seem to aggravate me. One other question for you - If either of you work out in the a.m., what do you eat before working out? I used to...

I have been doing some research on hypoglycemia and have found that many of the symptoms apply to me. I haven't been to the dr yet and had a glucose tolerance test done. I would like to order a book that addresses treatment/diet. Does anybody have any recommendations? Thanks in advance...

Sami, Thanks for posting this question. I feel better now after reading the responses. I had and annual dr. visit last week and even though I know that I am in great physical condition, I have been bothered by the fact that the dr. mentioned that I am "heavier" than last year. I have...

Christina, I agree completely with the votes for PUB. I don't do much strength work for lower body, but PUB has done wonders for my upper half. I did it 2 - 3 times per week this summer and had comments from several family members when I wore sleeveless shirts. I felt so great to have...

We had one for about a year and sold it. I just didn't think that I got the results that I did with Cathe and hand weights. The resistance seems different. I don't really know how to explain it and maybe I was just imagining things. Although, the Bowflex does allow a lot of options as far...
