Just read a book called In Defense of Food. Very interesting read about the history of nutritionism, food "science", etc. Not sure I agree completely with everything in it, but it has some very good points.

Hi Cathe, or anyone who would like to answer. I am currently doing STS (on week 3) and just wanted to make sure I understand the system. The overall purpose of following the program as it's laid out is to be 5% stronger by the end, correct? If I've got that right, and say my main goal is to...

Hi ladies, yesterday I did about 30 minutes of the BodyMax 2 cardio premix. Here are my measurements: Waist at navel: 32 in. Waist at baby pooch (LOL): 34 in. Fullest part of glutes: 39 in. Fullest part of left/right thigh: 23.5 in./23.25 in. Food yesterday: Meal 1: Shake with banana...

Thanks everyone! I have tried mixing very tiny cut up veggies in his food, but he has an amazing ability to sort out the smallest bit of veggie, spit it out, and eat the rest of the food. : ) Maybe I will see if I can add vegetable purees and see if he'll still eat things like his mac &...

Does anyone know of a book or have some recipes for smoothies for kids that incorporate leafy greens that they will actually drink? I have the pickiest 2 year old on the planet. He eats fruits and whole grains but he will eat no vegetables. I found a book called Green Smoothies for Kids but...

Hi ladies! Kelly, I forgot to tell you that my name is Nyx (weird, I know)...I think you asked that in another post. And don't worry at all about catching up. It's good that you listened to your body and rested if you were tired. Helene, I wouldn't have woken up and worked out either! : )...

Hi all, no workout yesterday, but started off this week with week 3 legs. Oh my, oh my. My legs are very wobbly, and I almost couldn't make it upstairs to shower! I did everything except the bonus work. I am going to start posting my food, too. I used to do that on another check-in and it...

I used to do only Firm workouts, I've done all but the last 2 weeks of CLX, and am starting week 3 of STS. I think CLX is a great program to do before STS. I didn't buy the deluxe package, but I ended up getting the extra DVDs by accident, and I honestly don't think they are worth the price...

Kelly, I am doing the 3.5 month rotation. I just mix up each week's DVD's as I need to. Like tonight I did week 2 back/tri, so tomorrow instead of doing week 3 bi/chest/shoulders, I'll probably do legs. Sharon, congrats on losing weight and hope you had a good date night. We all need those for...

I make my own all the time...don't like store-bought, but usually because store bought has too much tahini for my taste. I like it more mild-tasting. ;)

Hi, if you go to the Workout Manager, and click STS in the toolbar, then click Take a One Rep Max Test, and then choose STS under Step 1, the 45 degree lunge should come up with a video as the first exercise in the list (#372).

Hi guys! H, I had a nice mild soreness in the glutes and I've been liking the soreness I'm having in my quads. My quads almost never get sore - it's always hamstrings and glutes. S, I was just probably having an off day - I'm not sure if week 2 legs was that much harder than week 1, or if...

Hi all, I have the Troy Lite barbell and the plates that come with it, but I need some heavier plates. I am mostly looking for 25 lb (each) plates, but I want the rubber-encased ones that fit the 1 inch barbells. Does anyone know where I can buy these (don't really want to pay shipping)...

Hi ladies, hope you are having a good week so far! Last night I started off with week 2 legs. Oh my goodness...for some reason that workout felt much harder than last week's leg workout. I skipped the low end static lunges, the firewalkers, and those last 3 band exercises, and I still...

I also love a lot of the music from 4 Day Split!

Hi ladies and welcome Sharon (that's my mom's name)! Kelly, I didn't use weights on that ball move at all - that was hard! And way to go on working out even though work is busy. Good job. Sharon, I also skipped STS when I got it because I got CLX first! I loved CLX - when I was done with...

Helene, I'm terrible about adding in ab workouts. Most of the time, I don't do them. :o Kelly, hope things aren't too crazy at work! Yesterday was Kelly Coffey Meyer Step-boxing 2, and today will be disc 2. My son should start his nap in about an hour, and off I go!
