    Nutrition-Protein shake what is the best substitute to whey protein

    I'm a vegetarian, too. Also a HUGE fan of Greek yogurt - I eat it every day, yum! I use Amazing meal, chocolate infusion protein powder and also just pea protein powder. I've tried vega one, too and it is good, too.

    Hard Strikes: Question about Boxing Gloves & Heavy Bag

    I definitely get a good workout either way, but having said that, hitting and kicking the bag is (for me) a bigger calorie burner. And it is really satisfying punching that bag. I am sure I hit harder when there is a bag involved than without.

    Hard Strikes: Question about Boxing Gloves & Heavy Bag

    Natasha, I just started taking a kickboxing class that uses a bag (I've had 2 classes, so when I say I just started, I mean it :D ) and I definitely think that it would be easy to injure oneself when hitting (and kicking) a bag. In fact, a friend who has been taking this class for awhile said...

    XTRAIN Request - Workout time on dvds package

    This is a different request - I would like it if when we are doing the tabatas - the name of the tabata exercise and any equipment needed is put up on the screen. Similar to what is done when we are doing STS - weights. The workout says what exercise is coming up next and what equipment is...

    Well I Finally Did It!

    Yes, that is exactly what I spent entirely too much time last night doing....watching YouTube videos about juicers. I am leaning towards the Omega VRT HD. I've got a vitamix blender which I use every morning for my green smoothie, but I think I would really enjoy adding juices to my day...

    Well I Finally Did It!

    Ah, thanks for starting this thread I am currently in the market for a juicer. Good to know you like the Omega. How long would you say it takes to make a glass of juice? I know it depends on what is being juiced, but I just want a ball park number - 2 minutes? 8 minutes? Thanks for you help...

    Need New High Impact Aerobic Shoes!

    I got my gravity defers yesterday and wore them this morning for Cross Fire. They are cushy! And I have med - wide feet and they fit great (I got the ballistic gravity defyers). I think most of the other gravity defyer atheltic shoes say medium width. I have to say I really like these shoes...

    Yea, they don't have any stores on any of the Hawaiian islands that carry the GD unfortunately, so I too will have to stick with ordering. Hopefully the shoes will arrive sooooon! I can't wait to try them out. I have my next HIIT class on Sat. so I am hoping that they will arrive before then.

    What's Your 'Phew!' Cathe workout?

    I would have to say CCC - that one gives me an exercise induced migraine if I don't take longer breaks that Cathe and crew. (Or at least it used to, I haven't done it in awhile.)
