    Marcy - I think my Lisa one is one of her (if not the) first. I can't remember which Patrick one I have either but I remember he does some cheerleader type stuff which was too high impact for me. His energy is amazing though. I would have never guessed the Dancing with the Stars. Thanks for...

    I have an old one from Lisa. I didn't think it very challenging. Do her newer ones have a higher intensity? I've done one of Patrick's. I agree on the intensity. However I couldn't get the steps down enough to actually get a good workout.. other than my poor brain :p Do you have a...

    I love Petra. I looked at her recent one (Dance 123??) and it looked like the intensity was less. I'll look back at some of her older ones. I've not done any Christi or Jennifer. I'll look them up. Thank you

    I would love to find a challenging, intense, low impact dance type workout video. I really don't care about the type of music but something beyond the basic turns and grapevines would be good. I would like to get to something near a Cathe-intensity level. I was thinking about Turbo Jam but...

    master your metabolism

    lol. I "try" to be vegan. To me it's no meat of any kind (yes I consider fish a meat :p) and no dairy, no eggs. I just can't stand the idea of eating meat. And dairy flares my allergies. Not sure why I changed over the years as I was raised by die-hard carnivores. But I'm not militant...

    Intense Dance workout? Anyone know of a good, intense dance video? No impact, just a lot of floor dance work with intensity. ??

    STS CHECK IN DISC 22

    Well... I didn't expect the drop sets to be with no rest so :eek: on the first set. Yowsa. They work ya! I did this on Friday and I felt it for the full 2 days afterward. Nice :cool: I agree that this went by fast!

    For Cathe: Question about age and STS

    For me it's ALWAYS a challenge to lose weight. Mostly I know what would happen if I didn't work out. As far as losing weight and lifting weights I think it's the nature of your goal. I'm no expert but I think if you're trying to BUILD muscle mass you have to feed the muscle. If you're trying...

    How much protein?

    As an aspiring raw vegan I've done a lot of reading on protein. For me the jury is still out but some of the interesting points include: - varying suggested protein intake amounts. I'm astounded by the range in these. Even more confusing when comparing athletes to non, actual body weight...

    Ingenious. Thanks! :cool:

    What do you use to increase 5%?

    I've been using 1lb wrist weights and 2lb weighted gloves. It works but can be a bit cumbersome especially with the limited rests between exercises. So I ordered the gloves with the zipper pockets for weights. :cool:

    For Cathe: Question about age and STS

    I'm 52. I've been doing heavy weights for years. I get DOMS with Cathe but I've always gotten DOMS depending on the exercise. It's always worse with new exercises or a weight increase. I expect it. Actually at times I welcome it ;) I rarely have soreness (from DOMS :p ) that lasts over 2-3...

    Weighted Gloves

    I think there are different weighted gloves. I have 2lb weight gloves I use for walking and kickboxing. They are a set weight. On STS I've seen Cathe use the variable weight gloves. They have a zipper pocket that allows you to add 1 or 2 lb weights. I've ordered these (I hope) from...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 21

    Those incline curls :confused: I find those very hard. I had to back off on the last set. The barbell curls (that I do with dumbbells) were TOUGH on the last reps. Had to increase less on the second wave load. But I'm still surprised I'm curling 35 lbs. :cool: I think I'm going to have to...

    I just ordered a Vitamix

    I do it at room temp, uncovered usually. But you could probably use some kind of screen (like what comes with a sprouter) if you like. Cumin depends. I use a touch from time to time. I'm not a big fan of it so I rarely use a lot. Hope you enjoy it :D

    I just ordered a Vitamix

    I've not found any blender personally that does what the VitaMix does. I suspect the Blendtec is comparable but it's just as expensive I think. Basically the VitaMix pulverizes and blends just about anything wet with the standard blade. If you want super blended and super smooth, this is the...

    I just ordered a Vitamix

    lol. DS does NOT hang out here. :p To do wild rice I rinse it very well first. Then soak it for 8-12 hours in a good amount of water. Throw out the water, soak it for another 24 hours. Throw out the water. You should see some splitting. Let sit for 8-12 hours, rinse, sit for 8-12 hours...

    Slanted risers worth getting?

    I was thinking the same thing. But I use either the stability ball or my total gym so I probably won't. On the other hand I'm such a Cathe-junkie... so who knows! :p
