    TTC...How Long Did It Take You?

    OK...you asked for this... We TTC with our first son (who is now 3) for about 2 years...6 months on our own and then the rest of the time under the care of a fertility specialist. We were finally successful with injectible fertility meds and insemination (3rd try). Before the 3...

    FitnessFreak getting ready for summer rot.

    I have supersets, and I think I've done the blast routine before...for upper body. If I'm not mistaken I think all it was was two sets of all of the exercises. Good luck with the rotation!! Deni

    postworkout meal?

    Hey Laura... I use the recovery drink by Beachbody.com. It's the P90X Recovery Formula...and it's mighty tasty :9 :9 !! And there was also a thread recently that stated chocolate milk is a great recovery drink as well. Hard to know for sure if that's true or not...but hey I love chocolate...

    Now what do I do? HELP!

    I'm pretty sure the SH series is meant for strength/mass building. With that series, ideally you use the heaviest weight you can because it's short rep sets (8 reps per set). My advice would be to do a rotation using more of the endurance oriented workouts along with cardio to help define all...

    Fitness question

    I just wanted to add that Turbo Jam was really hard on my knees. And alot of the movements just felt somewhat unsafe for your joints. So keep that in mind. The Turbo Jam workouts are fun, don't get me wrong, but I'd hate for you to get something and it end up hurting your knees more. Deni

    P90X Check in 4-11

    Alicia...that's the beauty of P90X, you can use it to reach any strength/endurance/toning goals you may have. The workouts are done in a way that you can either lift heavy with less reps (strength and growth) or lighter weights with more reps (toning/endurance). Tony gives you enough time...

    Pure Strength is quite the sneaky little beast

    Shelley...I would most certainly recommend this workout. I have Back and Bi's scheduled for tomorrow so I'm eager to see if this one's just as effective. I'll let you know!! I'm alternating weeks between the PS's with the SH's...and I have to say they compliment each other quite well. As SH...

    Pure Strength is quite the sneaky little beast

    Just had to share that I'm experiencing my worst DOMS to date from the Pure Strength Chest, Shoulders, and Tri's workout I did yesterday. After completing it I was shocked at how short it was in comparison to many of her others, but WOW...that little bugger gets right in there doesn't itx( x(...

    need help from the dog lovers

    Christine gave you some great advice!! I too believe the crate to be the way to go. Our dog LOVES her crate...she escapes there quite often to get away from our two youngsters. It really isn't as barbaric as it seems. But if you don't want to go the crate route than I guess you should just...

    Beach Body strikes again! = (

    I can't understand why their customer service is sooo bad!! But unfortunately it is. That really sucks about what happened to you. I'd love to say it would inspire me not to order from them anymore, but their products are just so darn good x( x( . In regards to the Slim Series at...

    P90X Check-in 4/10

    Kat, Ab ripper is tough on the 'ol hip flexors...at least it was for me!! You'll get used to it. I did discover I couldn't ever do it after a leg workout, or after running...my hip flexors were way too exhausted to also handle the burden placed on them by Ab Ripper X. Ab Ripper is a great...

    Weight loss plateau

    Oh...I forgot about the idea of zig zagging your calories. This may be a great idea. I would say up them every other day, or every two days. A great e-book out there is Burn the Fat, Feed the muscle. It has great information on all of this. You should check it out. I don't have the direct...

    P90X Check In

    LORD NO :o :o :o!!!! I didn't mean the entire upper body at one time...can you imagine doing all of the SH upper body workouts on one day...you'd have to be insane :D :D . I meant all of one workout...meaning SH Chest and Back, or SH bi's and tri's, or PS Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps, etc...

    P90X Check-in 4/10

    I'm not a good person to respond to the "what to eat before working out question" as I'm not a big morning exerciser, and I've found that I have to have a good bit of time between food in my stomach and strenuous exercise as it can make me crampy or nauseated. This is especially true of Plyo...

    Weight loss plateau

    Hmmmm.... Well my first thought is...WOW, you've had some great results thus far!!! Be proud...be very very proud:D . My second thought, and question to you, would be...are you simply weighing yourself, or are you measuring yourself as well? I say that because with all of that exercise...

    GS Series Rot. Addition

    It's hard to say if you should add anything extra at this point. My advice would be why fix it if it ain't broke?? I mean if you are noticing some great results with what you are already doing, than why change anything...especially if you are known (as am I) to get caught up in the...
