Can anyone give me this info? I have the six CTX tapes, but I'm not sure how to do the UB exercises together to get the same effect as the UB premix (I have the VHS versions). Are they done once through or more? What order and what warm up is used? Thanks! Doreen

Hi, Cathe I'm currently finishing up week 2 of this rotation, and am enjoying it but recently read on this forum that fat loss and weight training to gain muscle shouldn't be attempted at the same time. I have been lifting the recommended weights on this rotation (not too light, but at times...

Hey, Robin! I don't really have any advice on vacation locale, but I was reading a previous thread about where everybody is from, and I noticed you used to live in Erie PA. That's where I'm from, and actually live just a few miles south in McKean. Where do you live now? Doreen

I'm pretty fortunate to have the work schedule I do. Mon. and Tues. I workout at 5:00 AM to be at work by 7:15- (35 min commute). Wed. I usually take as my OFF day. Thurs. I work till 12:00 PM, so I workout when I get home. Fri. I am off work, so any time in the morn is my WO. Sat and Sun I...

I have been thinking about weekly massages and wondered if this indulgence will be worth it. Do DOMS seem less intense when regularly manipulated, or is it difficult to relax when the masseuse/masseur starts to massage sore muscles? Just wondering what y'all think. Doreen

I have all the CTX series except CTX Upper Body. I'm able to burn these onto DVD in any order. Is CTX upper body just a culmination of the UB portions of the other 6 wo's? Can anyone give me the breakdown of exercises/times so I can come close to fudging my own? I tried to order it from...

Several years ago, we purchased a set of Ultrex from QVC which was supposed to have a "lifetime" warranty. Evidently the lifetime they spoke of was the company's! I have heard that they are not honoring any warranty for the non-stick peeling, pitting, etc. Ours looked terrible and would stick...

Hi, Amy I used to use 8 inches on many of her wo's, and at the gym many years ago, but found I was in some knee pain if I did more that 2 step classes/week (I absolutely LOVE step). Now I do all my stepping on 6 inches, and I don't have the pain or probs w/ my knees that I used to! I am...

I, too, would love a low max 2! I was thrilled at the LIC, and also need lower impact with high intensity that these WO's give! I would consider this a sure preorder!!!

Thanks, everyone! It's weird that the default time is for the UK! You'd think it would be EST. The explanation about "charter" makes sense! TGIF, everyone:7 Doreen

I was diagnosed with ocular hypertension (a glaucoma indicator) several years ago. I was put on eye drops and monitored, as I had no optic nerve damage. I lost abut 50 lbs and at another eye exam, my eye pressures were substantially lower. My opthamologist contributed it to the drops and...

I first bought the smaller step, and soon found that the longer, original step would help in lateral moves, could be used as a bench for UB work, and it would have more height variances. I went on e-bay and bought an original step with 6 risers for about $70.00. Then I got the high step...

Yay!!! Thanks, Amy! I was really tired of dong the math!!!!! Doreen

Thanks for replying, Marie, but I can't figure out how to change time zones in my profile. Any Help? Doreen

1. Just wondering why posts are "dated" 5 hours ahead? What time zone is this? (I'm on the east coast as I think Cathe is) 2. What makes someone a Charter Member? Always wondered, just thought I'd ask. Doreen

I'm not sure how interesting or cool these things are, but I'll list them anyway. 1. I earned a black belt in karate while going to college 2. I would rather putz around my house all day than anything else 3. My DH and I have been married for 23 years (high school sweethearts)...

I just heard on The Daily Buzz that people who drank 2 cups of coffee 1 hour before they hit the gym, reported a 48% reduction in post workout soreness versus the placebo group. Anyone see similar results? I usually have coffee before I workout, so I wonder if I'd have more DOM's if I...

No objection here! Please count me in! Doreen:)

Has anyone read anything by Alice Hoffman? She wrote Practical Magic which was made into a movie. She also wrote Turtle Moon which I loved and I have most of her others. Second Nature was also really good. Tabitha King (Stephen's wife) has a series-Nodd's Ridge- I've read a few here-One on...

Candi - How was Lisey's Story? I love Stephen King and have read pretty much all he's written (except the Gunslinger series) I have this new book but reading time is so limited. Doreen
