    Loving Athletic Setp and 30/30!

    Oops - tried to edit the title but couldn't - for the record I CAN spell "Step"! Athletic Step is FUN! Great mix of old and new moves with intensity thrown into the combos. Perfect length as well. It left me enough time to complete a lengthier STS ab workout and keep everything at about an...

    your first workout of the new year?

    Feeling pretty wiped out today - stayed up to ring in the new year - and then DD was awake at 4:30 with a fever....if I can muster some energy I hope to try Athletic Step and Ab Ripper form P90X. Happy New Year everyone!

    What workout are you going to do first?

    I am leaning toward one of the step workouts - but I am really curious about the Circuit workouts too - especially the one with functional core work. Now that Hiit clips are up - that looks good too...oh decisions. I will probably wait and see what everyone says - since I'm in Canada and won't...

    Do you tip your mail carrier for the holidays?

    My daughter (12) delivers the "shopping news" to 180 houses twice a week. It takes her about 2.5 hours to get finished each night. No it isn't rocket science - and she loves the spending money. She was given a 10$ tip for Christmas today from one house for delivering the paper on time (very...

    Can bulkier legs be leaned out after years of wieght training?

    I just had to chime in... I have been tinkering with the freestyle legs idea - thanks to several posts on the forums. Has anyone tried the 7 blasts only from LoMax? That's a great one - I have added that one after a 30 minutes of cardio - or even doing twice through (total of 46 minutes) That...

    I am so happy they include Core

    That's sounds wonderful (did I say that already?) I just did 4DS kickbox the other day and I am so psyched to get into some more intense MMA. Thanks Cathe!

    I am so happy they include Core

    That is so totally me too! I think it is a wonderful bonus! Can't wait to get these. It's that time of year when you really need something new to keep the motivation going. I hope they arrive before Christmas.

    I'm so excited

    When I think about the variety and sheer number of workouts that are included in the pre-order - I get giddy! I am thrilled that core work has been included in some of these. I was not expecting that. Excellent Cathe!

    Did everyone see the beautiful Shock Cardio dvd covers?!?

    Body Max 2, Butts and Guts, Lower Intensity Circuit, Drill Max (the outfits have sashes) I am so excited about this series. Circuit Blast looks like... a blast! I love workouts with lower body conditioning. Counting the days...

    Early morning exercisers please stand up

    So true - I love sleeping in (6:30) but I always appreciate the "done" feeling of a workout first thing. Being overwhelmed at work lately - I have had a harder time talking myself into keeping my afternoon workout. Ohhh - 5 am comes so soon! Anyway - I think that a 7-10 minute warm-up...

    noisy step workouts

    I wrap a foam padding around the top and sometimes a blanket (tucking the ends under the corners and sides) to muffle the sound of my feet hitting the top - especially in IMAX 3. I too have to keep the DVD noise down - even though I workout in the basement. The noise seems to travel up the...

    Help - Plantar Fasciitus!

    Thanks for all your replies...It's nice to know that I am not alone - not nice that there are so many sufferers from pf. I don't know if I can get access to a stationary bike - I hate to give up my cardio. Is there a chance it will go away with proper support and good shoes? Does anyone one...

    Help - Plantar Fasciitus!

    I think I have plantar fasciitus - pain comes and goes in the heel - especially tender first thing in the morning and aching by the end of the day on my feet. It starts to subside on the days I don't do cardio and then flares up the days I do. I know I have to go see a orthapedic specialist or...

    STS is not intense enough this time around!

    This actually happened to me - I was working out really intensely and feeling strong and kept adding more to each workout and fewer rest days. I was up to almost 10+ days without rest. Then my body hit the wall. I got two colds back to back - canker sores and no energy. My joints are really...

    Meso 1: Should I or shouldn't I get it?

    Just started Meso 1 again for the 3rd time around. I like to go back to GS series for a couple of weeks and then I start missing STS. These workouts are really thorough. Even the 3rd time around it is still tough! Love it. I was sore for three days after disc 1. Great definition with this...
