Totally agree with what Dirtdiva said...for me, the STS program is one of the best investments I have ever made as far as workout programs go. When I did the program for the first time (using the 6 1/2 month rotation plan) three years ago, I started it in February, and by July when I was...

Hi Jen - I totally understand the feeling you had after your 8 mile run. I too am training for my first half marathon in May since the birth of my children (ages 8, 6, and 3). I will be 45 next month, and am trying to train very smart by following a 10 week, 3 running days per week plan that...

I had a serious case of cabin fever, so I put on my layers, grabbed my dog's leash (he was already waiting for me by the front door - he knows when I put on a sweatshirt, we are goin' for a run!) and did a seven mile jog. It felt glorious!!! Time for lunch... Karen

Elsie, it was a toss up between the 'Just Go' shirt, or another that says "If it weren't for me you'd have nobody to pass," on the front and "If you can read this, I'm not last," on the back. I might have to put this one on my birthday list!

I don't have a Sports Authority too close to me, and they don't have my size online, but I found them for 49.95 at Holabird Sports, and if you spend 64.95 you get free shipping. I got a cool long sleeve running shirt from One More Mile that says, 'You don't have to go fast. You just have to...

Good for you on your weight loss! I have three children under the age of 8 (8,6 & 3) and I've been working out regularly in the morning since each of them was born. I get up before they do (most of the time!) and squeeze in an hour workout or so almost every day. They know that this is my...

I too LOVED this workout - I did it for the first time on Saturday, and it was much more difficult than I originally thought. I would describe it as high intensity cardio-circuit type workout, and the weights are used in such a way that your heart rate never really has a chance to come down (I...

Hey all... Just a quick update on All Out Cardio, Best of Bootcamp and Gliding Extreme (yes, I caved and got all three). All Out Cardio - The non-interval sections (Jump, Kick & Strong) are short and sweet - challenging, but won't give you the 'gasping for air' feeling. I don't think...

I thought I was a big shot and decided to do Intensity with two risers on each side (without trying it first, of course)...about 10 minutes into the program, I knew I'd made a BIG mistake...needless to say, I finished with one riser, buckets of sweat, and a humbled ego. I did the slow walk...

I was ordering golf balls for my husband for Christmas, and saw this just before I placed my order...one present for him, one for me - isn't that how it should work? Thanks so much for the info...

Hey all - I have a red resistance tube, and a yellow figure 8 tube, but I modified most of the moves with a green Cathe resistance band. You might have to play around with the configurations a bit, but I was able to get most of the moves to work with the band. That said, my favorite...

I don't often post, but I just had to rave about Mindy Mylrea's new Guns, Guts and Glutes! I stumbled across it while ordering a couple of workouts from Mary at Total Fitness - somehow this one sneaked in under the radar. I have quite a few of Mindy's other workouts, and I really enjoy them...

Just had to chime in on this one - my three year old daughter watches me workout on occasion, and she will shout 'Jump higher!', just like Cathe does...and my eight year old son will ask, 'Mom, did you enjoy a stretch?' . And all three of my kids will at least attempt to do pushups with me...

This really works! I cook a lot and chop onions almost daily...I couldn't wear contacts for about a month when I had an eye infection, and needless to say I was miserable (yes, wearing contact lenses does keep the tears away!)...I then stumbled across an article in my Cooking Light magazine...

Chocolate Souffle Cupcakes with White Chocolate Mint Cream Just by coincidence, I stumbled across this recipe today on one of my favorite food blogs, SmittenKitchen.com. Deb has never failed me with any of her recipes, her writing is hilarious and her pictures are stunning....here's the link...

Chiming in here...I recently discovered a free (yes, free!) podcast in the ITunes store called Elsie's Yoga Class - Live and Unplugged. There are about 80 downloads, all approximately 1 hour in length from her live classes. There is quite a variety, and I love that she radiates energy and...

Hi - lurking forever here, but I thought I'd add that Brenda just completed a full ironman triathlon this past Sunday, so maybe she needs to recover a bit before filming starts?
