Yes, that would be great to get some feedback about the workout and its breakdown. I pre-ordered mine, but haven't gotten a UPS notice or anything. I'm mainly wondering if the heavier weights are used during the cardio portions at all. I tend to mix up my workouts with cardio and cardio...

Yes, I was hoping to find out which weights are used for which part. Looks like there are dumbells up to 30 lbs. I have freeweights up to 12 pounds each only. I do have plate-type weights for barbell and dumbbell bars, but they are a pain to switch around if you are doing cardio with quick...

I'm going to buy a high step for use with the new 4 day split. Which other high step workout would you suggest? I was looking at High Step Challenge versus High Step Training Advanced. Opionions on either? Thank you!

Is there a list of equipment used in the new 4 day split DVD that's posted somewhere? I've browsed through the blog several times and noticed two screen shots referencing eqipment for that particular portion, but wondered if there was something more comprensive. I'm ordering a high step, but...

There are several websites that will help you calculate how many calories you burn per day based on size, activity level, etc. Other websites help you determine how many calories a particular exercise will burn per hour, minute, etc. Total calories burned (normal calories burned plus...

I didn't follow any sort of strict diet plan other than to keep within my alloted calories and work out daily. But here would be a typical day for me: BREAKFAST-200 calories: 1 c Special K Berries & 1/2 c. skim milk plus 1 can Del Montel lite fruit (50 calorie can, I buy mine at Sam's)...

I used Windows Media to rip the CD to mp3. Very easy to do...and legal because you've bought the CD. Just start Windows Media, insert the CD and follow the instructions (use the help feature if you're unsure). Rip it to a folder on your harddrive, then hookup your mp3 player to the computer...

I WISH I had the motivation to get up that early to workout! :-) My dh is a very early riser so he would love it if I got up and we worked out together. But I am usually just stumbling out of bed around 7-7:30 as my older boys get on the schoolbus. (My dh is usually gone by 7 if not...

Congrats to you on the huge accomplishment you've already made! You've already lost as many sizes as I have. I hope that the CD's will help you out. Another thing that I thought helped was to take a long walk/jog after dinner. I think I read that in "Prevention"...that it helps to jumpstart...

I know that the instructions that come with the CD's say to listen to them at a time when you aren't too sleepy. With five kids, it's hard for me to find time during the day to do it, so I do it before I go to sleep. Sometimes I fall asleep, and sometimes I wake up at the end. I figure if I...

I work out every day (7 days/week). I could cut that back if I worked out longer, but I like the routine of doing it every day. I work out for about 30-45 minutes. I aim for at least 30 minutes of good solid cardio, with weights added in every other day. I also often do ab crunches with my...

Thank you! The length of my workouts didn't change (35-45 min/day), but I was ramping up the intensity as I got in better shape. Towards the end was when I found Cathe's tapes, and they really helped me kick things up and work some new muscle groups. As I got closer to my goal (and thus...

You're so welcome! When I read your comments about "this too shall pass" being one of your Dad's common sayings, I got goosebumps! Sometimes coincidences like that aren't just random, and I'm so glad it's given you added inspiration. For you to have already lost 25 pounds just 2 months...

I thought I would mention that you are smart to get a policy right away (should you decide to) because you will avoid added premiums for pre-existing conditions, etc. and the premiums are cheaper if you start them when they're puppies. Also, puppies are more prone to accidents and injuries...

I also have the VPI policy on my Cavalier King Charles spaniel. I have the "standard" policy which is just over $100/year. The first year I had the preventative add-on rider which was another $100 but it was worth it the first year with all the shots, her getting spayed, etc. You can also get...

I bought the bosu on sale from gnc.com a couple weeks ago and really like it! My dh uses it, too, for weight work & such. I use it with the Seasun Zieger Bosu Blast, which is fun and challenging. Sure wish there were some more cardio workouts for it (advanced ones), because I would snap...

I just got one of these to replace a Weight Watchers brand bodyfat scale that would often measure weight inconsistently within a five minute time period. Anyway, I love the Tanita and all its functions. You can track your body patterns better based on time of the month, time of day, water...

How about the move in Step, Jump, & Pump hi-low section where you have one hand on hip, your leg kicking out, and the other arm swinging up and down as you move to one side? I feel kind of like a silly vaudeville act! LOL But at leasts it makes me smile while I'm doing it! And the "hand...
