    Is this the Year of the KettleBell?

    Kettlebells are great...I'm pretty new to them and still trying not to cosh myself with them, however they're another fun way to cross-train... TRX is wonderful too-expensive, but I use it a lot. I"m waiting a little while on the BOSU-got the DVD set on sale, but my husband is going to...

    Tuck Jumps or Air Jacks!

    I'm finally beginning to master these, but it took time and effort to get my core (and kegels, :o ) strong enough to get my legs up. Still not my favourite exercise and it scares the dog, too.... :rolleyes:

    Daily Check-In Wednesday 3/9

    Oh heavens, Carmen...that charity organization should actually have had policy in place stating that the beneficiaries must allow media coverage of the event. Very bad form on their part... Supreme 90 is great...can't wait to do a rotation... I'm loving STS so much...They are the most...

    If you had to give up high heels or cardio.......

    Well, I'm 5'7 so maybe I don't have the same perspective as others, but for me, the reason I'd wear high heels is to show off the results of my hard work...I really don't wear them (even though I love them) because of the danger to myself and others when I totter around like a five year-old...

    Equipment priorities

    I'd go ahead and do STS; the exercises are very adaptable around the equipment you have. Definitely get those spring locks for the dumbells, or something else that's quicker-I have those too and they really get irritating. I'd recommend a barbell, but most or all of the exercises can be...

    Anyone with RA doing or have done STS??

    RA can be very manageable, that I do know... Fever would probably be low grade, about 99.6F, if any. Managing the fatigue is actually one of the most challenging aspects of RA. While I don't have RA, I've got young onset Parkinson's disease, and I manage the fatigue with strict periods of...

    Daily Check-In Tuesday 3/8

    Thanks for the great wedding pics, Carmen! Yes, throwing the media out was a wrench...probably a donation would smooth things over quite a bit; I know that hurts though... I'm sore from yesterday's STS legs, so I'm going to do one of the shorter Insanity workouts to loosen up a bit...

    What is the affect of the stuff in our food?

    Hello! Thanks for your post-I live in white flour lovin' Alabama, and I can say that whole wheat products can be an acquired taste...but after a few weeks or months, you probably will grow to enjoy them. Breaking habits and forming new habits take time... After months of complaining about the...

    STS & Weight Gain?

    Intervals are great-Cathe wrote an excellent article on Hiit and Tabata; also she compared them to steady state cardio conditioning: http://cathe.com/which-is-better-for-weight-loss-hiit-tabata-or-steady-state-cardio

    JUST DON'T GET IT :(

    I realize this isn't the magic pill for everyone, but since you are perimenopausal, you might want to read about estrogen dominance. I'm 48, perimenopausal, and started gradually gaining weight despite running 35-55 miles per week and watching my diet. I was given Provera for heavy periods and...

    STS & Weight Gain?

    Excellent replies! Yes, I gain weight too on STS...I've gained over FIVE pounds...but then again I've been eating enough to support muscle hypotrophy with an emphasis on lots of quality lean protein. Most of the gain is in my legs, shoulders, and back. Yes, most of this is water right now, but...
