    Snacking after workout?

    I too always have a recovery snack after working out (that's not included in my 5 to 6 meals for the day). Is it possible to workout, then have breakfast. I know I have a hard time working out first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, but a couple of days a week it's necessary for...

    Who here takes a rest week?

    I take rest weeks...every eight weeks or so. I'll usually just do 2 or 3 days of very light cardio interspersed with yoga or pilates if I feel the desire to do so :D . They help in getting me rejuvenated both mentally and physically for another rotation. Deni

    Cardio and Weights

    I've been having similar problems with some of my DVD's and what I discovered was my DVD player was what needed cleaning, not necessarily the disk. We got one of those cleaning discs from Target and everything's been working fine since. It actually says on the cleaning disc that the player...

    Recovery drink

    There was something on here not too long ago about chocolate milk being a good recovery drink. Just thought I'd throw that out there as an option. I too love BB's recovery drink, and I hear ya on their shipment issues...it's like you need to put in an order for more as soon as you get your...

    Question on spinning classes

    Thanks Traci... Your input is much appreciated. Luckily my heart rate can tolerate my upper max fairly well for extended periods...it's not really the cardiovascular piece that scares me...it's my leg muscle endurance capablities. But I guess you never know what you can or can't do until...

    Any ideas to help my toddler take his medicine

    Like the others have said the syringe often works the best when you have a struggle on your hands. Also...it may be too late now...or you may have done this...but many of the pharmacies now have flavoring that they can add to the medicine to make it taste better. Maybe you could try those...

    Question on spinning classes

    I'm thinking about joining a local gym to partake of their spinning classes...but I'm scared...heehee. I've watched these insane people in the spinning rooms appearing as though they are voluntarily being tortured x( }( ;( . I need alot of help in toning and shaping my legs (very skinny) and...

    Fit Chicks do not have skinny legs!

    Wendy, I wasn't trying to really single anyone out with the above post...just making a comment really. Just wanted to point out how generalizing statements never really come across all that well...that's all:D . While her intent very well may have been not to offend...she obviously did. I...

    Fit Chicks do not have skinny legs!

    What if the original heading of the post read..."Fit chicks don't have flabby abs!" Would that have been just as a benign statement as the original title? Or would that have come across as slightly offensive??? None of the girls in the videos have spare tires either...so does that mean that...

    Fit Chicks do not have skinny legs!

    As a "chicken leg" sufferer myself...I'd have to say for me loosing weight (unfortunately never gained in my legs though) has been much easier than gaining muscle. So some of us feel completely stuck with our unfortunate chicken legs and really hate to be bashed for it. There's nothing worse...

    I am in awe of Cathe right now!!!

    I just found Cathe in the last 3 or 4 months after needing a break from P90X and Beachbody programs in general. I haven't done anything BUT Cathe during this time. I decided today to do Plyo X and was a bit nervous as I hadn't done it in forever and whenever I used to do it it would be one of...

    learning step aerobics

    Low Max isn't as hard to pick up as the other "max" type videos...but that's not to say that I wasn't challenged with the choreography the first few times I did it, because I was. Her step/blast segments in Low Max are longer so she breaks them down a little bit more. I would probably...

    Female Question

    Someone else already covered making sure to account for the 5 days before (and sometimes more) and a day or two after ovulation. In regards to the cervical mucus just be wary that not everyone produces the kind of cervical mucus that is noticeable outside of the cervix so this isn't always...

    Lost about Lost

    Sue I don't think they answered the question about the plane crash. What I took from the episode was that that could be one theory...but it still doesn't explain how all of these people who had had contact with one another ended up on the same plane or visitors to the same island (the Kelvin...

    critique my workout, please?

    Just because you don't have the DOMS effect doesn't mean that your muscles aren't busily repairing all of those micro tears that your creating. All of your gains and progress are made during recovery...that's when you grow stronger. I will often do strength training on non consecutive days BUT...
