    I'm on the fence with it this season. I stopped watching last season because all the stuff with Matt and Adrian (was that her name?) just made me nauseous! So far this season, I haven't felt sick. I've just been laughing a lot. The whole dog seduction thing from last week was a little much...

    Used HRM w/ Step Blast yesterday--too much beeping!

    I turned my sound off for Cardio and Weights (Step and abs only) and was actually in the zone for 22 minutes! Besides that, I burned 390 calories. I really love seeing the numbers. Somehow, it just gives me that added "boost" that I'm doing something really good for myself. I guess if I were...

    Ultimate Guide Update - should we do some additional ratings this time for "Enjoyment Factor" and/or

    RE: Ultimate Guide Update - should we do some additional ratings this time for Well, by that logic wouldn't intensity also be subjective? Maybe we need to define the scale like a complexity rating between 1 and 10 where 1 would be Basic Step and 10 would be Rhythmic Step. And also an...

    30-40 minutes to work out--Is it enough?

    Thanks Cathe! I would normally do two steady state cardio workouts, one circuit, one total body strength, and one interval cardio per week. My fitness goals are actually just to continue on the same path. I would also love to build more muscle in my upper body and tone my lower body more...

    When is it enough?

    When I can look at myself in the mirror and think, "Dayum! I look pretty good!" Right now, I can think, "Hmmmm, not bad...if I could just get rid of this fat over here and over here, but I have muscle now so I'm going the right direction..." Of course, I will always wonder how I'd look if I...

    Wanna chat?

    Hi Cathe! When you come back, could you please check out the 30-40 minute work out thread below? I posted it a while ago and was sort of hoping for your "blessing". There are a few of us with limited work out time that would probably love an "ok" from you. Or, if you can't just agree with...

    Ultimate Guide Update - should we do some additional ratings this time for "Enjoyment Factor" and/or

    RE: Ultimate Guide Update - should we do some additional ratings this time for I would like to see separate ratings for intensity and complexity. I don't mind complex choreography, but if the intensity is too high I will be turned off. I would love to see two separate ratings!

    Any meso/apples with 5-10 to lose?

    Me too. Even at my smallest of 135 lbs. (I'm 5'8"), I had a 30" waist. Now, I'm at 162 and would love to get to 140 again (ok, I guess that's more than 10 pounds), but I'm not sure I can with the increased muscle mass. Besides, I wore a size 10-12 at 135 and I'm still in a 12 w/the large...

    Used HRM w/ Step Blast yesterday--too much beeping!

    I just used a heart rate monitor for the first time. It's a Polar F4. I plugged in all my info and it came up with 120-156 being my target heart range. Well, I was already at 157 by the end of combo 1 and trying to modify down. I ended up having to modify nearly the whole workout to make the...

    RE: high step for tall people 5'9 Just an FYI--the risers for the original club step also work with the high step, so you may not have to order extra risers!:-)

    I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question, but it made me curious. I had all my pelvic lymph nodes removed due to cervical cancer and haven't heard a thing about any restrictions on my exercise. You post has prompted me to do some research. If you get any answers, I'll be interested...

    Bootleg DVD's on E-bay?

    Just a note from an Ebay seller and buyer-- When buying DVDs and CDs and things that can easily be copied, just look at what the person's history is. Have they been on Ebay a while? Buying or selling or both? Look at the kinds of things they buy and sell. I usually feel most comfortable...

    what do you guys think of this?

    I guess I'm confused as to what you stop? Stop strength training altogether? Then what do you do to maintain? I'm just wondering what his advice was to maintain once you have what you want? Sorry...I'm just adding questions rather than answering any.:P
