    Cycle Max Question

    My bike takes up a considerable amount of space, slightly more than the upright did. The handlebars stick straight out so they make it hard to tuck the bike into the usual spot, but it is so worth its bulk lol. I took the ride with Cathe yesterday and had the usual "i think i'm going to...

    Cycle Max Question

    Amy, I have been searching and searching because I can't afford $500 either! Well, look what I found at Wal-mart! Its a brand new item and when I saw it in the store, they hadn't even put a price tag on it yet. I'm picking mine up tomorrow. I sure hope this'll do for Cycle Max. Its a great...

    Glut pain!

    I am in pain today too! I did the Trisets Total Body Express premix yesterday, figuring I'd just get a "sample" of the workout. OMG!!! I cannot believe how sore I am today! and that's using lighter weights than usual. I can't figure out which particular moves have me feeling this way today...

    To Cathe

    Its nice to know that I'm not the only one talking to Cathe through the tv! lol. My family has learned to just carry on, paying no attention to the crazy person jumping around the living room, answering to the tv screen! :p

    Deadlift question

    Traildoggie, I know this is coming in about 6 months late but I thought I'd offer you my thoughts anyway in case you're still experiencing the back pain with deadlifts. This was happening to me as well, and I also was wondering if I was doing something wrong. Then it occurred to me, its DOMS! If...

    Unusual sensation in my arm 3 days after having blood drawn

    Thank you for your response Carolyn. Nothing like that has ever happened of all the times I've had my blood drawn. So weird! I was also thinking it could've been related to hitting a nerve... I'm glad to hear you say it should go away within a week. I was seriously considering going back to the...

    Unusual sensation in my arm 3 days after having blood drawn

    Hi all. I'm hoping someone can offer me some insight regarding this weird tingly tight feeling in my arm... I had a routine blood test on Monday. When the phlebotomist went into my arm, she jabbed around looking for the vein (which she said had rolled away from the needle) and I got a sudden...

    Intensity revisited....OMG!

    Intensity is Cathe's only workout that I have actually had to stop halfway through because I just absolutely could not catch my breath. Whenever I feel brave enough to pick it back up, I only do premixes, such as Step Only or Timesaver - Step + HiiT (Lo). :o I'm glad to know I'm not the only...

    Article on proper spinning

    There is a very informative spread in the October 2011 issue of Oxygen magazine on spinning including techniques, proper form, setting up your bike, understanding the "lingo", and even a sample workout! I've never been on a spin bike either and I found the article very interesting so I...

    Step Risers - Graduating to 8"

    yes, I've had that happen before. I was so out of breath :eek:! which workout were you doing? I can use 8" on Basic Step as well as the low impact workouts, but other than that, i stick with 6" and just lift (jump) some of the moves to increase intensity. :o

    2 issues - drop down boxes and Bonus Combos

    Drop Down Box: When selecting premixes for DVDs or cardio options within the Workout Manager the drop down box is not broad enough to show the full description. There are some options that cannot be seen at all, such as when selecting Cardio-Outdoor-Walking- Something about carrying objects...

    Short Shirt Phenomenon??

    what a funny thread!! i'm 14 and 15 years beyond postpartum, but i thought i'd add my 2 cents anyway. my take on the short-shirt phenomenon is either: 1) your breasts are indeed slightly larger and holding your shirt out and therefore up a little higher, or 2) you've gotten so used to the...

    Good books?

    I have recently read, and fell in love with, The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. There are 3 books in the series. The first is The Hunger Games, the second is Catching Fire, and the third is Mockingjay. They are labeled as Teen Fiction, but they are definitely NOT just for teens!! Its...
