RE: Hi Bebop!! LAST EDITED ON May-30-02 AT 10:16AM (Est)[p]Hi Hollie. I did a search at VF on the Powerbelt and came up with a little information. One Powerbelt user/poster said that she is an intermediate/advanced exerciser and that she has yet to go beyond level two (she bought the complete...

LAST EDITED ON May-30-02 AT 00:17AM (Est)[p]I do two separate upper body splits using the S&H dvd. I start with my own warm-up on the treadmill, incorporating light hand weights, but you could use one of the S&H warm-ups. I start the split with chest; flat bench presses and flys. I then do back...

Thanks honeybunch. I've been thinking about this for several weeks. The guilt factor is the only thing that's stopping me...oh that, and maybe the fact that I just ordered a Black Diamond yoga mat over the weekend }> ! It's just a matter of time before I cave.

Oops! I lost track of where I was when I posted last night...didn't realize that I was in the Ask Cathe forum. I have started a thread in the Open Discussion forum concerning the Powerbelt.

Does anyone have an opinion on this gadget? http://www.powerbelt.com I've been thinking about using this on my treadmill. Any thoughts or experiences that you would like to share?

Hi Janice. I'm so happy to read your positive comments concerning you experiences with treadmill walking. I'm a runner, but I simply cannot tolerate the boredom of steady state running on my treadmill. I have to power walk or do walk/run intervals. When I walk, I maintain a 3.8-4.0 mph pace and...

Hmmm...I'm preparing myself mentally for the heat and humidity. Heavy weight work will get shelved for the next few months, in favor of heavy cardio and some major flexibility training. My strength work will come from yoga and lighter weights, and I'm going to tackle Pilates.

I agree with jillybean. I can't execute the S&H stationary lunges in good form with a wide stance. I've also tweaked the sequence; I do the first two sets with my left leg forward, then I do the last two sets with my right leg forward instead of alternating left and right legs between each set.

IMHO, getting cut is ultimately an issue of diet.

LAST EDITED ON May-24-02 AT 09:55AM (Est)[p]Maybe http://www.power-systems.com has them. They seem to carry everything! Congratulations on your accomplishment.

I just keep telling myself (and anyone else that may be interested) that I have the J-Lo butt thang going on ;-) !

RE: Right! Karen Voight uses the new step (without risers) for the cardio portions of her recent circuit workout.

Rachel, you make an excellent point: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I do know that although I question the attractiveness of my muscularity at times, when I am training consistently and my body fat % is reasonable, I get many compliments from both men and women on the shape of my legs.

Hi Janice. Thanks for your kind words! I'm so glad that I could be of some help to you. You will really get alot of useful information out of Ken Sprague's book. I've had it for several years and I refer to it constantly for information and inspiration...it's packed with interesting tidbits...

I agree with everyone, muscles are beautiful. As someone who is naturally muscular, I know that the difference in appearance (bulky vs. curvy) is an issue of body fat. It's that simple.

Get PS Legs. You won't be sorry!

Janice, I have a book titled "More Muscle" by Ken Sprague (Human Kinetics) which answers all of your questions. Here are some excerpts (this is a great book, by the way): When dieters fight fat, their bodies fight back! In other words, your intellectualized goals might be contrary to your...

Super Sculpting and Tough Tape are great choices.

Wow! You are truly an inspiration Donna. Congratulations on your one year anniversary and all that you have accomplished. What's your doctor saying these days? :D
