Trish, Abs are a funny thing. Last summer I had a six pack (ok, a four pack), this year I'm so fluffy in that area it isn't funny. And nothing has changed. Age contributes to leanness as well. It gets harder the older we get. As frustrating as that sounds, its true. Once I start cutting...

I've never done the blender mixes, just the premixes. I don't have a clue how the blender thing even works. LOL!!

Hi Trish, Wow, working your abs until failure? I don't think I could do that. I think I'd puke! LOL! I only work my abs about twice a week with Cathe's DVD's. I only get sore if I haven't done a certain move or if I haven't worked my abs in over a week. Other than that, I just don't get...

RE: Fitness Freak thighs She works out hard. Doing Gym Style and eating right will give you an upper body like Cathe's if you have the same body type.

Nice workouts everyone! You are all kicking butt today! Lora - Next order goes in on July 6th.

Again, another week is almost over. I cannot believe it is almost the end of June. Scary stuff. Today I had an excellent workout. This workout about did me in. I am wooped right now. 1:30 rest between each superset [font color=indigo]BACK/BICEPS[/font] [font color=red]SS #1[/font]...

Wow, that is just so cool. Makes me glad to give him my business!

Char - Kick @ss workout girl! Nice calorie burn! Woo hoo!

Linda - My wrist pain started last fall when I was lifting really heavy. The barbell curls hurt the most and they pop out of joint if I'm not careful doing those. I have no clue what I did. It sounds like our pains are similar because I can still bench press real heavy but when I go heavy...

Ally - You got a power tower? I love mine! Hope you enjoy yours too! Linda - Nice workout. How did you do that bench press with your wrist hurting? Or did you hurt your wrist during this workout? Man, that sucks. Mine has been ok but easily comes out of joint. How the heck does that...

RE: Fitness Freak thighs My snacks usually range around 300 calories. I don't aim for any specific calories with one meal, just that the calories at the end of the day meet my range.

Laura - I say take the afternoon off. You already worked out like crazy (and had a great workout by the way!) Your body will thank you! :)

Teddygirl - #2 revised is totally different then all the others. It's fun and has some excellent intervals. Laura - Why do you want to do a second cardio workout today? I personally think that's overkill. JMO.

Dana, here is some more info on HIIT versus low intense cardio: Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) is greater after anaerobic exercise than it is after aerobic exercise. If you burn 280 calories in 20 minutes doing HIIT and 280 calories in 40 minutes riding a bike, yes, you've...

Today I did a short workout. Not sure why, I just didn't have it in me to do another hour cardio workout. Had a decent workout even though it was short. I decided to do Cardio Coach #2 revised because I haven't done that one in ages. I really like this workout. The challenges are all fun...

HIIT: High Intensity Interval Training Workouts like any Imax workout, the end of Step Blast is HIIT, Cardio Coach workouts are HIIT.

Interesting. I have heard some people say that lower intensity cardio workouts will burn more fat then high intensity workouts. But I know that HIIT works for me. Try it and see how your body responds. That's what this is all about. :)

I don't think I ever said that about cardio. I believe in HIIT cardio workouts. Never got much out of just steady state work. I have said that "less is best" with lifting weights. Meaning you don't need a 2 hour lifting session to gain muscle mass. Less then an hour is sufficient. My...
