Hi everyone, This morning I did Muscle Max Legs only (23 min) first then I did Karen Voight Just Cardio (24 min). The Gym styles really have your muscles going and I only did the short workouts on them. This is my 3rd day of straight exercise this week. Beth, how do you like Karen Voight...

Janet, I have Fit TV and recorded the Pyramids and Low Max on my DVR. My DVR is in my bedroom so I just need to figure out how to record it on my VCR. Supposedly the reason why you should do the weights first before cardio is because your muscles would burn more fat. When I had a personal...

Hi everyone, This morning I did GS Back/Biceps (35 min) and Basic Step (30 min). This time I did the weights workout first then the step workout. Even though I am use to doing cardio first then weights. I was able to jump right into cardio without hesitation or dragging this morning. I am...

Hi everyone, Welcome Janet!! :-) We would welcome anyone to our board! I have exercising off an on for years and would still consider myself a beginner/intermediate. I don't like to do high impact at all. You are off to a good start. That's a good weight to start with on your barbell...

Hi Chris & Beth, Chris, I hope you get well soon. I hope you are not in a lot of pain. Beth, I am going to check to see if my co-worker found out when Karens Voights New DVD's will be on the market. This morning I did GS Back & Biceps instead of the entire workout of GS BB&S. I...

Hi Beth and Chris, I was having late nights lately and too tired to get up early in the a.m. but I made it this morning. I am visiting my grandmother more often at the nursing home so I try to come home first then eat dinner and then go visit her. I was visiting her first and then coming...

It depends on what you are doing. I did cardio 3x week followed by 1 hour weight training after 2 of the cardio days and lost weight (2 pants sizes in 3 months) however, I cleaned eat. If you know you are really not going to clean eat then up your cardio. --Kimberly C "Here's to your...

Hi everyone, Beth, that looks like a good BFL rotation. Let me know how it works out. I did GS Chest & Triceps and my arms are shaking. I used heavier weights as my trainer suggested and I think I am going to start seeing a big difference. --Kimberly C "Here's to your health, to...

Hi everyone, This morning I did GS Legs Timesaver #1. I tried to use what Cathe used most of the time except for the barbell. (I didn't feeling like changing the plates so I kept it at 20#). I think tomorrow I will do LIS. I don't think my joints are all warmed up. --Kimberly C...

Hi everyone, I didn't exercise Sunday or yesterday but today I did GS Back, Biceps and Shoulders Timesaver. Beth I see what you mean. The GS can be pretty intense. I don't recall using heavier weights like I did this morning and I can really feel it. I would always stop at 8 pounds max...

I worked for two neurologist for 5 years that did EMG/NCV (Electromyography & Nerve Conduction Velocity) Tests. EMG is tests the muscle electrical activity. With the NCV a small electrical shock goes through the nerve using an electrode and sends it to the recording device. They use a fine...

Hi everyone, Chris, I hope you get well soon with your knee. I thought about the personal trainer today and I think I should go with her too. Yeah she did push me to where if I was doing some of those exercises myself I would have went lighter with the weights. I did a single overhead...

Hi everyone, I didn't exercise this morning but this evening I had a free workout with a personal trainer at a place called "Build A Body". She had me do a 3 minute step test which had to be on an 8"step and I was winded. I told her that I performed a Stress Test while in the Hospital and...

Arggh!!!! I lost my strength & energy!!! I tried to do KPC Kickbox and Strength Circuit and I was dragging the entire time while doing it. I guess because I haven't exercised in a few weeks after being sick. I thought I could pick up where I left off but that's not the case. I don't need...

Hi, I am back!!! :7 and I feel 10 times better!! I can't wait to start back exercising tomorrow morning! Chris & Beth I think you will love Karen Voight Burn & Firm Circuit workout. I have to agree with Beth about Muscle Max which is a very good workout but very light on the lower body. I...

Hi everyone, I didn't exercise yesterday but today I did Karen Voight Sleek Effect. This is more of a yoga workout. It felt really good just to that workout being in my condition. I went to the doctor yesterday and he confirmed that what I have is reflux so he gave me some medication to...
