I've never tried the Earth brand, but read positive things about them. Thought I'd share the info in case anyone is interested... Melissa

I used to get Fitness magazine, but outgrew it, I guess. The workouts were blah, same old skinny models, etc. However, we got a "special" offer to get a year subscription for $6. Do you think it's worth it?

I agree that the Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner is the best. I wear mineral make-up foundation and blush (it's the only thing that doesn't break me out), but have given up using mineral eye make-up (shadows and liners). No matter what I do, it makes a mess. It ends up falling on my cheek, etc...

I'm with those that did not like the twist. It just seemed so cruel to get the contestants hopes up, let them be there for a week, then yank them away. It would've been less cruel to at least let them stay a few weeks, maybe even a month, to get acclimated. To teach them to eat right, how to...

Jenn - Thanks for your thoughts on Amy! It's always hard for me to try out a new instructor after Cathe. I tried Mindy Mylrea once and just couldn't click with her. I hope Amy is more my style. Although what's most important is the workout - Slo-Mo sounds great - I hope DH gets it for me...

I'm sitting here eating a big piece of pumpkin pie, sipping some tea, and checking out the responses to my question... Thank you everyone for all of your replies! I'm putting Amy's Slo-Mo and Jaril Love's Get Ripped & Chiseled on my wish list. They both sound like they'd be good additions to...

Paula - Thanks! $11 is a great deal.

Jonahnah, Thanks so much for your opinions and for posting those links. I'm going to go research them now so I can decide what to put on my wish list for DH. Melissa

meowracer - I have Jari Love's Get Ripped to the Core and it doesn't get much use, but I think that's because I'm not fond of compound moves. I like her instruction fine, so maybe Ripped & Chiseled would be better. I also have been wanting to try Slo Mo. I read a lot of good things about it...

Cathe workouts make up about 90% of my library. It seems every time I try a non-Cathe workout, I end up being disappointed. Either the production stinks, the workout is boring, or it is ineffective and feels like a waste of time afterwards. So any thoughts on the following would be...

Anyone have Under Armour athletic shoes? I'm making my Christmas wishlist for DH and would like a pair of comfy crosstrainers for doing kickboxing, weight training, a little bit of step... I'm curious if you have these, which style do you have (Speed or Evade) and do you wear the size you'd...

I'm going to do this workout again later today, or once I psyche myself up for it. Instead of doing just the upperbody premix, I'm going to try the whole thing. There was a time I could do it, but it's been so long, I'm a little intimidated. I may have to shave off a couple of reps too!

Thanks for the advice! I will decrease my weights accordingly, even if it means using 3#. I hope I don't have to go that low though...

Patti - ooooh, those lunges in Power Hour...I love Power Hour - especially the shoulder work, but the lunges in that workout are killer. I seriously dread that workout because of the lunges. I also have to take a break between sides, otherwise I can't complete the reps on the other side. I...

Tami - I haven't done Drill Max that much - it's a toughie for me because I haven't been working out consistently lately. But I think I tried a few of those bicep curls with the band and said forget it. I remember it feeling tough but also weird. I've got to work my way up to that! Lori -...

Catherine, I take breaks in other workouts too, but for an endurance workout like this, I didn't know if I should just take breaks when needed or lighten up my weight a lot so I don't have to. I'm wondering what would be most beneficial and help me progress?

It's good to know I'm not the only one that feels like a wimp when I do this workout!

I did the ME Upper Body premix last night - first time I've used this DVD in many months. I remembered the biceps section being dreadful, but I forgot about the neverending chest flyes (flies?) and overhead triceps extensions. I kept having to take breaks... Does anyone else take breaks? If...

ane and Lori - ME is a great suggestion! I forgot about that workout - haven't done it in awhile. I think it'd be ideal to alternate it with PUB. Work my way up to doing the 4DS UB only premix. Thanks for the idea!

Deana, I'm a little scared of it. Have done 4DS a few times, but never all the UB exercises in one session. I think I may have to work up to this!
