    So I had my personal training session Saturday

    I'm going to play the devil's advocate of sorts here and say...maybe he did provide you with a great ab workout, but the issue was you already know alot of the more advanced exercises BECAUSE you have so much experience with great ab DVD workouts already??? Could this have been it??? Say...

    slow and heavy

    Sorry but IMO this would be a recipe for some major overtraining!! These are intense workouts...with the idea behind them being that you are using very heavy weight loads for fewer reps. You really want to be pushing your muscles towards failure with these...therefore your muscles are going to...

    I just did Ripped to the core for the first time...

    I just got these two myself and I did RTTC for the first time the other day. Let me just tell you, doing this workout made me truly realize the difference between "strength" and "endurance". I've been concentrating on lifting as heavy as possible to build muscle mass, and I've kind of skimped...

    Is it just me?

    I'm pretty sure they are both from Butts and Guts...it's just an optical illusion...the lighting on each of the pictures just makes that red/pink look different in each of the pictures. Deni

    spinning dvd

    I haven't done any spinning DVD's, but I'm in the near future going to try and get an indoor trainer for my bike and when I do I plan on ordering some spinnervals. These seem to be great workouts. I've heard good things about Mindy Mylrea's spinning DVD's as well. Deni

    Help! Gym workouts....Lauramax and any others!

    Is it possible to work out a deal with your son that you go so many days out of the week to the gym, but still allow you a couple of days for your home workouts as well...compromise maybe??? Another suggestion is to look into the isculpt's from itrain. I've never done one, but from what...

    Question for the educated crowd

    I have the same problem...very "ecto-like" in my arms and legs...so building muscle for me is VERY difficult. Make sure you are eating enough calories, because in order to build muscle you have to be in a calorie surplus...not a deficit. With that comes cutting down on cardio to like 3 times a...

    Jeans for fall!

    I found last year that the "stretchy" jeans from American Eagle fit me the best. They are just "stretchy" enough where they give with you, but don't stretch out too much as the day goes on. I haven't found any others that fit me the way these do. I used to wear Express, but got sick of...

    Survivor--is anyone else disturbed by this?

    I'm not really all that bothered by it...and I'm usually fairly sensitive when it comes to "race relation" type issues. And as others have stated, it's really no different than having groups seperated by gender/age in my opinion. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how this progresses. Deni

    Whey Powder

    My all time favorite is vanilla protein powder with a cup of skim milk, or even water if you need to save on some calories, a banana, and a spoonful of peanut butter mixed in the blender...YUM!!!! I bet it would be even better with chocolate protein powder!! Deni

    How do you cut back?

    Wow, that sounds like ALOT!! There are so many factors here that could be stacking the deck against you. If you don't have a whole lot of fat to lose and are just trying to get rid of those last few stubborn fat stores then I would say you probably don't need to be working as hard as you state...

    itrain...WOW!!

    Actually Lorrie...I've been wondering the same thing about how these compare to Cardio Coach. I've also been looking at the Runervals, and wondering about the differences with those as well. Deni

    The preorders...have a stupid question

    It's been so long since I've preordered the new videos that I can't remember if I've already paid for them. I'm vaguely remembering that we did pay for them once we placed the preorder...or am I wrong and we will be charged upon shipment??? Deni

    Breast reduction

    I was incredibly shocked by my diminishing breasts!! I guess I'm proof that you can in fact store fat there...obviously it was the fattiest part of my body :7 :7 !! Once I started doing consistent cardio it was the first place I started losing...not sure why that can't also happen for the...
