    5 days

    I'm not an expert, but when I'm short on time or have a very busy schedule I skip one cardio workout, trying to add some short cardio session at the end of my weight training: i.e.,if I work UB for 40 mins, then do 20 mins s/s cardio, OR I choose something which combines both for my LB so that I...

    I've discovered Nutella!

    Ahhhh....Nutella! Don't name it to me! It is equivalent to tons of fat that will instantly appear around your butt, hips and thighs the minute you'll let it into your mouth! :D I'm a poor Italian girl who knows very well the damages made by Nutella!!!:eek: This is a thing I've banned from my...

    My first time with Imax3!!!

    Well done Natasha! Imax3 is one of the hardest... when I can do all of that pausing just for a quick sip of water ( I do drink alot while working out at high intensity) that means I'm in really good shape,and when I'm done I feel I can do anything in the world! :D

    more hi/lows circuit training!

    Hi Cathe! I know your dvd library has everything for anyone,but what I really like most is circuit training/interval training,this is why I love so much your new series! But how about something where you mix high and low impact,and fast with slow? I don't know if this make any sense but I'd...

    The more I do LIS..the more the challenge increases!

    I think you're right, I probably increased speed or range of motion without being aware of that, that is why I couldn't understand where all that fatigue came from..:o

    not able to advance in Turbo Barre

    Hi Natasha! Sorry to read about your difficulties with TB. I don't really know how to help you,but what I can tell you is that is just a matter of time. Give your legs time to get acclimated and you will learn to use also the accessory muscles that ballet type of workout rely on. I don't...

    The more I do LIS..the more the challenge increases!

    Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm talking about AB and CS. I've noticed that everytime I do them I feel more and more challenged, as if my body, instead of getting accustomed to them, is shocked by the new experience. Could it be possible? I know I've increased my weights during a couple of...

    Cardio Supersets Step Portion

    The 3 HIIT workouts use the step for intense moves and there's no coreography at all, I don't know if this is the kind of workout you're looking for though. I think also Circuit Blast uses the step in a very easy way, but as I don't own it so I hope someone else will give you more info.
