    What type of bag for heavy bag bonus?

    I had one with the base you fill with water. My husband would punch it and it would fall over. We could fill it with sand but then we wouldn't be able to move it easily. I have since bought a 100 lb. TKO brand bag (Amazon) and an Everlast stand (Walmart) rated for a 100 lb. bag. It is...

    Pull Ups assistance bands?

    I got the bands from the same place. The clips I purchased at a local sporting goods store. Both items have helped me a great deal.

    Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers?

    Hi Stephanie, I have done all three plans. With Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem, you eat mostly prepared foods with high sodium content. I lost 20 lbs. with both of those plans that I immediately gained back when I stopped the plan. I joined Weight Watchers and have kept off the 70 lbs I...

    Afraid of Meso 3

    I just finished last week and I think you are going to love it! I too was worried just looking at the high numbers on the workout cards each week. I thought, “I can’t lift that!” I had never lifted heavy before. I was surprised to find that I struggled less in Meso 3 than I did in Meso...

    Meso 3 for continued weight loss

    Hi Krasy, Yes you can do it without a squat rack. I don't have one and I have been doing fine without it. I wear a weighted vest to add weight. I also have the option to flip the seat forward on my weight bench, sit on the crossbar and remove the barbell off of the bar on to my shoulders...

    Meso 3 for continued weight loss

    I am having the same experience as Heather. I am surprised to find that I am losing weight in Meso 3 even more quickly than I did during Meso 2. I am also doing squat rack legs. I only have a few more pounds to lose.

    Meso3 is really hurting my back

    I agree with Shana, check your form. I have a history of backaches and fortunately have none with Meso 3. I think it takes a great deal of concentration when the weights are this heavy. I listen to Cathe's instructions concerning position, muscles used, weight distribution, core use, etc...

    Sleep bra?

    Nancy, I am a Wacoal wearer so I know what you mean about underwires. I have worn the Barely There brand in this type of situation you described. I am not as big as I used to be (I am a C now) but you can snug them up in the straps a bit. They are very comfy to lounge/sleep in. I...

    Should I start Mesocycle One again?

    Hi TG, It sounds like you haven't done any lifting since Meso #1. I agree with everyone about starting over with Meso #1. I am in Meso #2 and cannot imagine myself having started it with that long of a break. I hope whatever you decide to do that it works out for you. Chris

    ? for you current/former weight watchers...

    Hi Melissa, I think it is silly for a ww leader to tell you to cut back on your exercise. I think you need to do what works for you. If you are carefully tracking your points and know exactly what you are eating, you may not be eating what you need to, as you said. After losing 68...

    Anyone lost a lot of weight??

    Another weight watchers member here. I am 40 years old and lost 68 lbs. last year. I followed the online program and have been keeping the weight off for the last 5 months. I have decided to lose an additional 10 pounds and am now following the program again. Keeping track of what I eat...

    Slow and Easier Kickboxing?

    Hi Gerry, I love Kick, Punch and Crunch. I am not sure what you mean by slow. The cardio work certainly gets your heart moving but the combinations are easy enought to follow. Chris

    STS and mp3?

    I was concerned about the screw locks causing a delay when I first started. I bought a set of spring locks for under $5 at a sporting goods store. Once I got started on STS I decided the best way to set up my equipment to minimize lag time between sets. I can't say much about burning the...

    Where Can I Find Equipment Used In The STS Videos?
