I think you'll be very happy with the ones you chose. Next round, I'd definitely order Muscle Max for a good total body workout. And I'd get a circuit workout (I prefer High Step Challenge, although I've only used Drill Max once so far - my lower back ached from it and I haven't felt like...

Jeanne Marie, I'm no expert, but to me, the rotating handles help to make the movement feel more natural. My elbow clicks with normal push-ups and my shoulder has been bothering me lately, but with the Perfect Pushup my elbow didn't click and my shoulder didn't feel strained. And as I think...

DH got me some for Christmas. I used them yesterday and love them! Am very sore today, although I've been slacking lately so anything would probably make me sore... I think these are very well made and easier on the wrists. However, DH paid $40 at Dick's, am surprised Walmart had them for...

I rarely make suggestions, but it's a little slow at work today, so I'll chime in with my ideas... Total body: Muscle Max Legs: Butts & Guts (my fave), but my second choice would be Legs and Glutes which would give you KPC too Cardio: Low Max (don't do much step myself so I don't...

I use Solgar "Whey to Go". The vanilla flavor has no sugar or artificial sweeteners. 1 Serving has 16 g of protein and 1 g of carbs. I believe there's a chocolate flavor too, but I think it has more carbs. Melissa

You're welcome! Hope you like the book and find it somewhat informative. I feel it never hurts to read alternative info then judge for yourself what might work best for you. I always hesitate making recommendations, but I've taken after my mother. I can't help giving advice or at least make...

Thanks kathryn! I usually modify the upright rows somewhat too (lower and wider), but still don't like to do them very much... I wouldn't mind working the rear delts more (by bending over), but don't know if I want to work the trapezius more... Darn shoulder. It's been bugging me for a...

Just curious what kind of modifications or substitutions people are doing in 4DS? I don't do step (except for Low Max and circuit stuff), mainly because I only have a high step and it's frustrating to modify so much. So, I use my treadmill or rebounder instead of doing LIS or HIS. I now...

What an informative thread. Thanks for all the info on FAM, I'm going to check it out. Anyhow, I hestitated giving my two cents on this topic because many may disagree, but I will anyway... For all those open to alternative medicine, I highly recommend the book "What your doctor may not...

Thanks for the review Leanne. I was hoping you'd like them once you started using them. Now I'm going to ask my husband for the 9-piece set, plus either 1 or 3 more, for a set of 10 or 12. Glad you don't "need" a case and the box will do. Would rather get more weights than a 20 dollar case...

And don't forget the Friends and Family sale at Sephora! 20% off until Nov. 21st (I think). Discount code FF2007. Melissa

Leanne, Thanks for the link - those look neat! I like the idea that they come in 1/2 pound increments. Probably more versatile than the platemates are. Which set did you get (or did you buy them individually) and did you get the carrying case? 20 bucks for a case seems pricey, but it...

Kathryn and Michelle, Thanks for the suggestions. I've checked out local fitness stores and can't find them. Checked about four popular websites that people here suggested in previous threads, no luck. When I get home I'll search some more, but I wanted to make sure first that the smaller...

I'm working on my Christmas list already and was going to put platemates on it. When I went to various websites looking for these, the lightest that any place had was a pair of 1.25# each. After searching previous threads on this, I thought they were available as a pair of 5/8# each for a...

You're welcome Leanne. I hesitate giving advice about such things, but I really think there are so many benefits of taking Udo's oil (and similar products) that I couldn't resist. I hope you like it. Give it a fair chance to work and report back... Good luck! Melissa

I'm pretty sure from looking at Udo's website and a few other retail websites, that there are three main types of oil to choose from: -Udo's Choice Oil Blend looks like it's the same thing as the 3-6-9 Oil Blend. I think maybe some have a newer label. It may have the word "perfected" in the...

Leanne, I've only purchased mine from my local health food store or Vitamin Shoppe. Haven't ordered it online, so I don't have any recommendations. However, it is available at www.vitaminshoppe.com. Let me know how it works out for you! Melissa

I do! When I did the Fat Flush Plan, I started taking Flax Oil and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) supplements. Now I take Udo's Oil every day. I love it. There are so many benefits - clearer skin, less PMS symptoms, let alone the benefits it provides "inside". Check out his website...

Thanks kathryn! I'll try rear lunges next time.
