I'm joining the "love DOMS" bandwagon too! If I don't have at least a little bit of soreness, I feel ripped off! I do have to admit that I tolerate certain bodyparts being sorer than others.. usually if one of my upper body parts are sore, I am OK. However, after a hardcore leg workout, ( the...

The other posters gave you some great suggestions, but here's some more if you'd like... Maximum Intensity Cardio ( MIC) is a tough one... its older, but pretty challenging. Also, BodyMax 1 is pretty tough too if you only do the cardio segment. I hadn't done this one in a long time and...

Hi- I firmly believe in taking some time off as rest weeks during the year. Usually I take one week off where I do nothing ( not even light cardio) on purpose a year. Then, I'll take sporadic weeks during the year, where I'll do light cardio or only work out 2 or 3x that week. Do I go...

For me, my abs look best if I do moderately weighted ab workouts 1-2x/week.. I'll use an 8 lb med ball or a 10 lb plate.. anymore than that and my core does look a bit bulgy. I incorporated doing those sitting ab chair machines ( don't know the name of them) w/ heavy weights at the gym and...

I agree.. I love this workout.. I like it as that you can make it as hard or as easy as you want. This is one of my favorite P90x workouts too! Lynn M.

Can you tell me how challenging are they? Do you feel like you get your heart rate up pretty well w/ her workouts? Thanks in advance, Lynn M.

I've done programs where you eat many mini meals a day and for me that never works b/c I crave that feeling of satiety which I never achieve with mini meals so by the day's end I've end up eating a huge dinner and dessert even if I'm not ravenous...it's just that I have no sense of fullness...

I do put make up on when I go to the gym, but most of the time, I get my cardio done at home and lift at the gym so I'm not sweating profusely. I feel so much better about myself if I have make up on... plus all of those mirrors in a gym and to look at myself at every angle for an hour...

Its definitely a sad story.. I saw the interview yesterday on the Today show. The poor woman has had alot of tragedy in her life... she lost her husband 5 years ago and her daughter (I think?) was killed in a car accident. She really viewed the chimp as her "surrogate child". And, now her chimp...

I really want to like Kick Max, bec. I adore KPC and the CTX Kickboxing workout. But.....for me, I felt that the long warmup and the routines at the first part of the workout were too slow and don't get my heart rate up very much. Then, the blasts, while they do get your HR up, are too high...

Hi Deborah- I like to run for cardio too, but I usually don't do it for more than 3 days/week, and typically not for more than 40 minutes. I do cross train on the other days, usually I do cardio 5-6 days/ week, but only for about 40 minutes. For me, my favorite complement cardio to...

I love Kickboxing too!! I almost always incorporate 1 kickboxing workout a week and hands down not only does it give me a good workout, but puts me in a great mood. I would love for Cathe to do a KPC 2... that is my favorite of all her kickboxing workouts. If you've not tried it, CTX...

Thanks so much for posting this article... it was very informative.. I'm not familiar with the website either, and it sure had alot of good stuff on it.. Appreciate you taking the time to share it! :) Lynn M.

Thanks to everybody who gave me the input on the peanut butter powder... Like a few of you, Peanut Butter is an absolute mainstay in my diet.. My name is Lynn... and I am an addict! :) I am looking forward to playing with the powder when it arrives... I'd love to figure out how to make some...

Hi Cynthia- In re to the Power Butter.. I have seen it at GNC, but it was pretty pricey.. like 14.00 a jar last time I looked a couple years ago. I'm not sure about the health food store, I live in a small town, so we don't have a ton of places to shop for this kind of stuff. :) You could...

Hello Fellow Peanut Butter Lovers... I was just placing my quarterly order on the netrition.com site for my 10 jars of Power Butter ( for those of you who don't know about this stuff, it rocks... its peanut butter made w/ egg whites, flax, and best of all double the protein of the regular...

I can also vouch for Victoria's Secret... I'm fairly small on top too... you can buy the tops and bottoms separately.. AND, they have the Miracle Bra bathing suit tops which have padding and lift. They have a ton of cute colors/fabrics and styles too. Lynn M>

This is a great workout.. IMHO, it is her most challenging upper body workout yet. ( I don't have STS, so I don't know how that will compare I think what makes it so hard is that she has you lifting pretty heavy weight w/ not alot of recovery time.. Frankly I can't believe she can talk and...

I pull this one out every couple of months to do and still enjoy it. If I'm not mistaken, it was Cathe's first kickboxing workout? Its interesting to see how much Cathe and her background exercisers kickboxing form has improved over the last several years.. If you look at this KB workout VS...

Hi Charlene- The standing work (first 1/2) of PLB would be a viable alternative to Leaner Legs. It has some of the same moves and also has little rest time between sets which is comparable to LL. Time wise, it might be a bit shorter, but should do the trick for ya. Take care, Lynn M.
