    Is anyone NOT ordering STS?

    After seeing the previews on the Road Trip that included the new custom music, I totally caved. Came home and ordered the whole thing. It is FABULOUS...unlike anything I've ever seen in a workout video before. It's like a movie. I can't wait.

    Hi April, I'm an RN also and I work nights, I have for the past year. I get to go to Days in October - I am SO happy! I work the 7p - 7a shift. I have dinner before I leave, about 6:00 and it's usually a Smart One and some steamed veggies. I drink either coffee or tea the first few hours I am...

    Tracey's Strike Zone vs Cathe's Kick, Pucnh & Crunch

    KPC is a fantastic workout. I use it at least once a week. It's just a terrific balance between drills and combos and the abs section has those terrific planks on the ball. I just feel great after I do it. Typing this makes me want to do it today! I probably will...

    Do you ever mix & match your workouts?

    I like to do this as a way to extend my cardio time. I find the time flies by when I do 30 minutes of one thing then 30 minutes of something else. The CTX segments are great for this, especially if I pair it with some kickboxing because that's a big contrast. Absolutely no room for boredom.

    Platemates or Pace Weights?

    I LOVE my pace weights. I first read about them here, and I'm glad I did. They are perfect, super easy to put on and off and work on both dumbells and barbells.

    What are your pet peeves?

    Intolerant people who think everyone should be exactly like them. I guess that makes me intolerant of intolerance! ha.

    Who Besides Myself Must Get In Shape For The Trip?

    I'm using it as a big motivator to lose the 15 lbs I gained since I started working night shift. So far I'm 5 down, 10 to go! I was so excited to see the RT scheduled, I knew for sure that would be all the motivation that I need. And it's working.

    Who's going on the AUGUST road trip?

    I'm going. I went in 05 and then missed the last one -- think I was number 160 or something close. That won't happen this time!! I'm in North Jersey now instead of Louisiana so it will be a drive instead of a plane ride - much easier considering the hell that it is to fly right now. Hope to see...

    career switch - how to help people age better?

    I've made a similar switch and for the most part it's been rewarding. I was a systems analyst at a multi-national corporation and decided I wanted to be a nurse. I was attracted to the idea of counseling diabetics and/or running wellness programs. So I gave up my lucrative career and went back...

    "Clean" living vs. "dirty" living

    RE: It catches up to us in our 40's. I knew a lot of hard-partying people in my 20's and 30's that could do that and still look good and (seem to) feel good. You sure can't say that now. By 40, if you are neglecting your body it really shows, inside and out.

    Benefits from bonus burns in GS

    Funny, I like those a lot because it's just different. Different/variety is really good at building muscle. Think about that, maybe you'll be motivated.

    Getting back into fitness career after 10 year "layoff" - wish me luck!

    RE: Getting back into fitness career after 10 year You'll be great. I did this exact same thing, I took 10 years off to have kids. I didn't do the PT, just group x, but it was much better the second time around. I think I was a better instructor. And I found a club with a coordinator that I...

    Alternative to Platemates

    I read about an alternative to Platemates here maybe a month or two ago and now I can't remember the name of the product. It was a series of incremental small weights that you attach to dumbbells/plates. Can anyone help me out?
