Thanks! Have my fingers crossed that I receive these ones in time for my late Oct/early Nov staycation!! :-)

FAVORITES: Pop Squats Squat Jumps Power Scissors (they are such great leg shapers, those who hate them should learn to love them) Box Jumps (not straddle) Super Sonic or Explosive Running Man (Men) Apple Pickers Plyo Jacks Half Jacks I also like plyo that incorporates the firewalker band (as in...

I recently discovered Ballet Beautiful. The floorwork on the Total Body DVD will have you burning. I went ahead and bought two more of her releases, primarily for the floorwork. She reminds me of Lisa Watson (Strong Stride), although she gives one very short stretch break near the middle of...

Thanks for this. I find lifting my lower hip up makes it more difficult to target the intended muscle(s).

Deb---Thanks so much. I'm going to purchase some.

Well, since we haven't heard any updates, I guess there will be a lot of surprises!

I think the brain fog is the worst symptom of all, to be honest. Especially if you have a job that requires a lot of quick thinking on your feet.

Maybe there will be a surprise GH bonus with the preorders....

Agree---my body needs the nutrients and carbs to fuel my workouts. I would be a cranky, starving, lightheaded manic if that was all I ate, plus I'd be giving up foods I enjoy (food is one of life's sensual pleasures---moderation is the key for me). At this point in my life, I'm most...

I just discovered Kettlebells. Amazing---efficient way to do cardio/strength--working out w/them three days a week is changing my body for the better!

Be prepared to suffer. My legs are strong and I had to take breaks, even during the quad focused segment. You can hear the castmates groaning at various points, but KV keeps going, like she's not feeling a thing, the minx. I love the guys in the workout, too. Those outfits are a hoot!

Even though I believe I'm a day early, I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday. ENJOY and have a big slice of birthday cake!!!! :)

I'm going to have to pull out XTrain Legs again. The last time I did it, I enjoyed it but as others said, it didn't seem difficult enough. I think my expectations going into it were off. I have to agree that I'm finding barre and workouts like LL&A and GG more effective for me, particularly...

Like you, I've been married a long time and we are childfree by choice. I don't regret not having kids, being relatively unencumbered is wonderful, and there is no guarantee that children will be there during for you. All that said, what you're feeling is normal, but I highly recommend that you...

I agree. An upper body PM would be wonderful!

Happened to me once, too, about 15 years ago. I ended up going to the doctor and getting a muscle relaxant, which helped immensely. I simply bent over to pick up something and ZAP. I could not stand up straight. I highly recommend that you check out Yoga for Relaxation by Barbara Benagh...

I agree, particular with doing the workout with either weighted gloves or a 1lb hand weight. Don't overlook kettleball workouts, either. Recommend the ones that are more strength based (Lauren Brooks, for example), so you can use a heavier KB.

I love this thread. Thanks, again, Justine! I have done the Drill Max Legs PM and the one of Bootcamp. Enjoyed them both! Probably just my biology but a cardio-plyo-weight type leg workout, combine with barre, gives me the best results. I enjoy it much more than a pure heavy/strength leg...

Agree--Nathalie is sweet and gives helpful advice. :)

Susan, you are an inspiration. I'm 51 and find that I have to incorporate much more restorative yoga and have a monthly deep muscle massage (cupping, which is wonderful). Tight hips/glutes/hamstrings, aggravated from 27 years of spending my day behind a desk at work, have taken their toll...
