Plyo jack push ups. Shaun T does them at the end of Pure Cardio. Jack down and push up. (This is different from just doing a jack while at the bottom) Plyo push ups--can be done on knees or toes. Just explode push off the floor w/ your hands. Really advanced: done on toes and your whole...

I was just looking into soy free protein bars for my DD and they are so hard to find! Here are 2 brands that are soy free. I haven't ordered them online or found them in a store so I can't say what they taste like: www.perfectfoodsbar.com www.organicfoodbar.com I'm going to check out the Jay...

That is scary! Yes, you should go see your doctor. It's not necessarily anything serious but you want to know what's going on. It could be low blood pressure, coming down w/ a virus, anemia, etc. Hope you find an answer soon~

Billy Blanks Tae bo workouts are well suited for your son's age. Billy's newer dvds (post Lives) aren't as frantic in terms of pace so it's a good place to start for kickboxing. The choreo is so easy to follow too. Billy is very motivating and there's nothing 'girly' about him! His...

Loving all my new Cathe friends on FB!

You might try using Greek Yogurt in the smoothie as it has a lot more protein than regular yogurt. (17 g per 6 oz in the Fage brand). That's not much less than you'd get in a scoop of protein powder. My son does NOT eat enough protein so I'm constantly looking for ways to sneak it in. ;)

Too many step workouts makes my legs look bulky. I'd suggest cutting way back on your step workouts. Running, plyo workouts, kickboxing, body weight lower body work & floorwork help out my thighs. Good luck!

Ditto. You might also try reducing your starchy carbs (even whole grain ones) as they generally make a person retain water & therefore appear less cut. That's why figure athletes reduce their carbs drastically before competitions. Obviously, you don't want to cut them out entirely as your...

All the TIFTTing in Bodystrikes was a deal breaker for me. Looks like Bodystrikes 2 has the same issue.

Love the photo! :D :p I could watch MP & the Holy Grail 20x in a row and laugh my head off every time!! Love that movie! :D

Great to 'see' you again Lori and welcome Megan!! I have a 15 yo daughter too--she's also a Monty Python fan. Looking forward to more posts from both of you when you guys have time. :) (**clapping my coconuts shells together and 'riding' off**) :p:eek:

That's awesome Shayne!! It's VERY cool!!

Another vote for NPR. :) You'll be so busy THINKING you won't notice there's no visual. IMO, TV news shows tend to play "follow the leader". They all pick one story and go round and round on it until they beat it to death, then move on to their next "big" story which usually involves a celebrity.

Morningstar, I won't slam you for your point of view either but I would ask that you consider that while 18 may be the legal minimum age for an adult, not every 18 year old has same skill set to handle every situation as an adult. Yes, experience is be a great teacher, but some experiences...

DITTO!! I'm sorry for not saying the same thing in my earlier post! :)

Janie, There was a LOT of additional info in your previous post re: exactly what the guy did and his "excited state" that warrants a police report TODAY not Monday. Predators don't take the weekend off! You didn't see creepy behavior--you saw an initial foray by a predator on a victim. That...

I have them and I like them. :) I'm a big fan of combination moves and Marta manages to squeeze in so much lower body work (even during UB & core) segments, my legs get a good workout too even though they may not be the focal target. She's not a party in a box instructor but I like her calm...

Marlene, Are you having this problem with other lower body workouts right now? You posted that you haven't had problems w/ other instructors in the past, but I wasn't sure if you were fine if you did a Jari Love now. You may have an issue w/ low blood pressure like someone else suggested or...

Kathryn, I don't think you noticed that Deanie's post is 2-1/2 years old. So, is the last response before this thread got revived.

The Jari Love workouts you listed ALL work the legs so you'll be getting plenty of endurance leg work. Plus, most of the ones you noted used combination moves (except for Slim & Lean and Ripped & Chiseled) so you get more of a cardio effect than doing one body part at a time. Don't worry...
