    New and want to know....

    I've been there...you CAN do it! When I decided I was serious about losing weight I had been inactive for 5 years, no exercise or sports. I had no idea how many calories I was consuming a day. I downloaded a calorie diary to my desktop and the rest is history. I really was clueless about the...

    cals per day

    I try to net 1650 calories a day (I'm 5'2" @ 115#). I typically burn 400-600 calories a day with exercise so I eat around 2000-2200 calories a day. I try to aim for 50% carbs, 25% fat and 25% protein. I've maintained my weight for over a year now after losing 60 lbs. HTH!

    I burn 6 calories per minute with B&G compared to 9 calories per minute with most of her step or kickboxing workouts.

    I also suggest KP&C, Kick Max or Drill Max (there are a few "cardio only" premixes).

    Technology Major

    >Thanks everyone. I think it best to explore a business >centric track. Have you considered MIS/BIS (Management Information Systems or Business Information Systems)? MIS was my major and it gave me the perfect mix of business and IT skills. I knew after my 1st programming class that I'd...

    ediets.com or other online diet support??

    I LOVE Calorie King.com. I lost 60 lbs in 6 months logging my food in their diet diary (I downloaded the desktop and sync it with the online diary). The desktop is a one-time fee (like $30) and the online is around $20 a year (you don't need both, I just prefer to log on my desktop and enjoy the...

    calories and bm2

    According to my HRM I burn around 750 calories with Body Max 2. For Ripped 1000 I only burn around 400-450. Of course the calorie burn will differ for everyone based on thier height, weight and level of fitness but BM2 burns way more calories than GR1000 for me, not to mention that BM2 is way...

    Ryka Crosstrainers

    I have a pair (I'm not sure which model) that I bought a few weeks ago...they are white with pink and gray. I really like them for strength workouts, kickboxing and step, however the left shoe rubs against the inside of my ankle. Monday I was doing Imax 2 and about 40 minutes in to it I noticed...

    Why you should measure yourself...

    I agree that inches are a much more useful way to measure progress. The scale can be affected by so many variables (water, undigested food, etc.) so it's not the best way to see if a diet or exercise routine is working. However I couldn't resist not posting about the whole myth that muscle...

    shorts or pants for workouts?

    For cardio I wear shorts, for strength, yoga or pilates I wear capris. I live in Mississippi so it's rarely cold enough to need long pants.

    getting kick punch crunch and... rotation help?

    KPC is all cardio plus an abs section. Legs & Glutes (on the same DVD) is a lower body weighted workout. Looking at your collection I think KPC is a great addition. As for a rotation I'd do Cathe's February 2007 rotation and sub for the DVDs you don't have. Like this: Week 1: M: Body Max 2...

    Runners and Joggers...

    Hi Carrie. I'm just getting in to running, I've tried for about a year but haven't been really consistant. Over the last two months I've really been working at it. The right shoes did make a huge difference for me. Like someone else suggested I went to Fleet Feet and had them fit me for the...

    Maybe a dumb question: but

    I agree with Melanie. I don't have access to a treadmill except for maybe 5 or 6 times a year when I'm traveling and can use the hotel gym so I always do my runs outside. I find that I get terrible shin splints and aches when I run on the treadmill but experience no pain (and can run faster)...

    What was your first Cathe workout

    My first was Low Max too. I remember I had to pause to rest at least 4 times during the workout the first 4 or 5 times I did it. I really didn't like it very much because I couldn't get the foot-work down. Once I figured out all the step combos I was hooked. That was in October/November 2006 and...

    Grumpy day workout

    KPC is my "bad day at work" workout. I just imagine annoying co-workers as my opponent. Works like a charm!
