    Disney :)

    Wonderwoman: Disney will be everything that you expect it to be. I live really close (90 mins away) so I have lots of experience. What hotel are you staying in? All Disney hotels offer bus transportation just know that it is not a quick ride to the parks from the hotels. There will be lots...

    Body Beast?

    This looks really interesting, but I can't seem to find out where to order, or how much it costs. Did you order from a coach? or the on-line site? Thanks, Debbie Russo

    False Eyelashes

    Am I the only one not riding this wave? :rolleyes: I was watching TV the other night and the actress looked like she had awnings attached to her eyes! Sigh, seems like too much work plus glue near my contact lenses scares the daylights out of me. Debbie Russo

    How Often do you get on the scale?

    Every morning and every evening.:p I can't trust my clothes because by the time I realize that they are a little tight I have gained 5 pounds. I am at the weight that I want to be. At 5'11" I can put on 3 or 4 pounds and not see it. The scale does not freak me out, but if I gain more than...

    Looking for info on Sanibel Island, FL

    Hi Jen: I live on the west coast of Florida, not too far north of Sanibel. It is a beautiful place, but as Melanie said, very quiet and low key. A really great choice just north of Sanibel is Siesta Key. Siesta Key beach was named the number one beach in the country! It is spectacular...

    Starting Insanity tomorrow... any advice

    I agree about the separate warm-up. I don't use Insanity as a total program, but I throw in a work-out here or there for variety. I use one of Cathe's warm ups - like MMA Boxing - then do the Insanity warm-up as the first "combo". I skip his really long (like 6+ minutes) static stretch and go...

    Hiit 30/30: the easiest Hiit, but definitly not easy!!

    I agree that 30/30 intervals are hard, but I just don't feel like it is "enough" so I add the intervals from Drill Max as my part two of the workout. That way I get the true HIIT done first so my heart rate is up there for the Drill Max drills which are longer and more steady state cardio...

    Gals Premenopausal/A Little Testosterone?

    I had a complete hysterectomy 7 years ago, the day before my 46th birthday. Crashing into instant menopause was an unbelievable nightmare for me. I suffered for almost 10 months with night sweats (up to 13 soaking sweats per night), night terrors, hot flashes, stomach pains and nausea...

    Packaging of LIS

    I think they did a great job on the packaging, however I wish I could have had an option to get individual cases. I store my workouts on an open bookshelf by type of workout - heavy weights, HIIT, Step, Yoga, etc. Then when I plan my weekly rotation I pull the individual workouts that I am...

    Wen hair care

    I ordered the "sample" system from the WEN website. wenhaircare.com I was really on the fence trying to decide whether or not to give this product a go. The kit included a 12oz pump of almond mint cleansing conditioner, the styling creme, moist intensive hair treatment, styling balm and a comb...

    i heart plyo legs!

    I agree, I think plyo legs is one of Cathe's all time "bestest" creations. Lately I have been eliminating the weight portion and doing 2 or 2 1/2 of the workouts back-to-back as one of my HIIT days. I love the vertical movements of jumping on and off the bench. I just FF through the weight...

    What would you take with you?

    So yesterday my husband and I were watching the re-run of the first episode of the Walking Dead - imo one of the best shows on TV. The male characters were complaining that as they were trying to pack survival gear the women were packing sentimental items like family photos. I said "...

    Heart Palpitations

    Dela, You might want to do some research on Gastric Reflux Disease. The fact that you are feeling these symptoms after a heavy meal or rich dessert goes hand-in-hand with Reflux. The "fluttering" or spasms of the diaphram can mimic the feel of a heart palpitation. I have a mild hiatal...
