I wear a New Balance cross trainer for stepping & kickbox (needed the extra stability in side to side movement) but I use Asics running shoes for elliptical, running, TM, etc. I think you need to use what works best for you - whatever that may be:)

Hey there! I'm back! Still struggling along, though. Great job getting your WO in ladies! I did LIC segments 1 and 2 + abs & stretch today. I'm trying to decide on a PLAN for the next several weeks. I was going to try to do a rotation (one of the older ones), but I'm just not feeling...

I have a set of the thumb hook weights (I got them for kickboxing) and I HATE them. They're difficult to put on tightly enough so that the weight isn't flopping around. I've started putting the thumbhook over my middle finger to get the weight in a better place (for me). Bottom line - if...

Hi everyone. Never made it here yesterday :(. BUT, I'm here today to report that I did 2 circuits from LIC (ran out of time). I was getting bored w/ the Timesaver DVD already. This week will probably be mish-mash WO and then we'll go out of town this weekend. Next week I think I'll start a...

True, but 50 calories/point is a reasonable guess in the absence of a points calculator. I actually looked up the patent @ one point to get a guess on calories per food point vs calories per exercise point and found that 50 cal/ food point is a reasonable guesstimate as is 100 cal/ exercise point.

TGIF!!!!!!! Good morning. Didn't WO this morning b/c I did a 30min iClimb on the elliptical last night that kicked my butt! My legs felt like jelly this morning - COOL!:cool: Elaine, I like the TS workouts, but I get bored w/ them pretty easily. I think the weight work is lacking too, but...

Hi there! Elaine, I was SUPPOSED to do TS#3 today, but I slept in. Will either do it tonight or will do 20min on the elliptical and the weight/core segments from TS#3 (since I think I probably need those more than the cardio LOL!). Roxie, I agree w/ Elaine about not giving up. There were a...

Me too! I also like the ME Express premix from Muscle Endurance.

I've had the same concern about calories - 20 pt would be ~ 1000 calories per day, which isn't enough according to generally accepted nutrtional guidelines. The minimum points (excluding the "extra" points allowance of 35 per week) is 18/day. If you divided your "extra" points evenly during...

Good morning girls! Got up and did BB TS#2 - increased the weights from last time since I thought they were too light @ the time. Needed to have done that w/ yesterday's WO too :mad: - NEXT time. Roxie, I've heard nothing but good things about Rhythmic Step. I don't have it, though. I may...

Hey there! I got up and did my WO today - BB TS#1 (since I'm a day off from skipping yesterday :mad:). I removed TS#4 (the KPC one) from my week's plan, but I'll try to squeeze the shoulder exercises in w/ another WO (have I mentioned that I HATE shoulders?). I might try to get in another...

I'm with you (tho not so much today :( since I didn't WO - bad mood + tummy issues). I am trying to eat cleaner, though (she says after a REALLY bad weekend). I have the BB Timesaver series on the agenda again, will just shift the schedule by a day. I'm going to do the Timesaver for the...

Hey there girls! BB TS#4 is done for today. I'm still suffering DOMS from 2 days of Core work (I HATE Core) in #2 and #3. It's good for me though. Elaine, sorry about the lack of renters. I know you don't want to lower the rent too much to avoid losing $, but IMO SOME rent is better than...

Good morning Amelia, Roxie, and everyone else! BB TS#3 is DONE. Three days in a row is HUGE for me lately. I should've gone heavier on the biceps weights, though. Next time :) Scale still is not moving, despite WO and being good w/ food :mad: Not sure what to do - will keep up the...

Good morning girls! Got BB TS#2 out of the way this morning, despite my chest muscles feeling QUITE sore from yesterday - that is HUGE for me :D Amelia, good luck w/ that interview today! Hi Elaine, Roxie, Jean, Becca, Andrea and anyone else who stops in. I have a ton of stuff to do...

Hi there everyone! Got that BB timesaver WO in this morning, although I swear I spent more time just staring than actually WORKING :mad:. Haven't done that one in quite awhile so it's almost like new. UGH. Get to have the same experience w/ TS#2 tomorrow :eek: I'm thinking it might be a...

Oh, I forgot to say - Amelia, you mentioned going back to when you lost 4% BF. I was LOL because the last time I lost really successfully was when I was on jury duty. Maybe I need to be more rigid about what I put in my lunchbox - I was then, we weren't allowed to leave the room!

Well, no WO today either :mad: Still fighting the motivation demons. I have the Body Blast Timesaver WO scheduled for all this next week. Now all I have to do is stick w/ the plan. Roxie, I've been trying to use the WO manager - not sure it's helping me a lot, but I'm trying it anyway...

Hi Andrea. Glad to have you back! We were wondering where you've been. I didn't watch any of the Olympics opening ceremony. Just didn't grab my attention for whatever reason. Didn't get a WO in today - I was planning to ride my bike to WW this morning, but I went to the EARLY (6:30am)...
