    What's best for my legs

    Well, I just got the Slow and Heavy series in the mail today. So I plan on starting that tomorrow. Except I can only manage to get in a max of 5 days a week. So I'm a little concerned that only 2 days of cardio will not be enough to burn the fat away. Do you think I should do the slow and...

    Why is it so hard for me to lose?

    Thanks everyone. Maybe you're all right. Maybe I am too hard on myself. And maybe I shouldn't worry about it so much. (By the way, I'm not nursing. I had complications after birth and was in the hospital for 7 days. I didn't even see my baby until the 3rd day, except for 5 min........I...

    Why is it so hard for me to lose?

    I guess I just need some suggestions/encouragement. I delivered my daughter, Emma, on Jan 6 2009, via emergency c-section due to many complications. I kind of let myself go during my pregnancy and didn't excercise much and didn't eat healthy. I gained 55 lbs. Ilost 20 lbs the first week...

    C-section recovery & more

    Hi everyone. I wrote a forum back in Dec about getting back in shape after the birth of my baby. I think I have to throw out all the great advice I was given and start from scratch again. I gave birth to Emma Lydia on 1-6-09. Unfortunately, she ended up being taken via emergency c-section...

    Back to the Basics after having a baby?

    Thanks for all the ideas and support. I didn't have the baby yet. I am just pre-planning. I'm due on Jan 3rd so it could be any day now. I see my Dr. tomorrow (the 2nd). I'm hoping she'll start talking induction if I don't go into labor on my own by 5-7 days after my due date. I'm so...

    4 Day Split (Cardio lenght)

    I was interested in buying the 4 Day Split DVD's. Some of the reviews I read said that the cardio portions were short. I was just wondering how short? Because as much as I love to lift weights, my body really thrives on the high intensity cardio workouts. Are we talking only 30 mins? Can...

    Back to the Basics after having a baby?

    That's correct. I step on the bench with my left leg and swing my right knee up to my chest and then land back on the floor with my right leg, followed by my left leg back to the floor also. Then I reverse....step on the bench with my right leg and then swing my left knee up to my chest and...

    Back to the Basics after having a baby?

    So do you think it's safe/ok to do just low impact step? Or what about jogging on the treadmill? A few years ago, I worked with a personal trainer. She started me off on a program that consisted of stepping onto a 12" bench for 2 min and then doing as many reps (but a min of 20) in 1 minute...

    I'm 38 wks pregnant and I just can't wait to begin my Cathe DVD's again! Only due to a lot of back pain beginning at 5 months, I quite working out. Not even walking! I have to be so out of shape and I think jumping back into my DVD's is going to be very difficult. Does anyone have any...
