Wow, Jean! That is impressive that you got into the top 10. :cool: I really need to start working cardio back in. I do think that checking out my progress on the map is interesting. Colleen: On the topic of cardio, I saw that you use a rebounder some of the high impact cardio. I have a...

Hellooooooooooo! I had to take an extra day off, so I just finished disk 8 today. I'm just a bit behind you, Colleen. I do think that STS seems to be flying by. I could hardly believe that next week is my last week of meso 1. I bought STS when it first came out and the dvds had been...

Howdy gang! Jen: The sweet potato/spinach stew sounds very good. I wouldn't have thought to put spinach in with those other ingredients, but I'm sure it is yummy. I printed the recipe out to try later. Jean: I enjoy Butts and Guts more than STS legs. Maybe it just because I'm more...

Carolyn: Congrats on the chinup! I am not able to do them "unassisted" yet, so you have given me inspiration that it can be done. I used to think that I would always want to live in a place that has 4 seasons. However after years of driving in ice/snow, I changed my mind! We do have changes...

Thanks for the warm welcome from everybody! It is much appreciated. A bit about me. My name is Linda and I'm 51. I've been married for 27 years and don't have any children but do have 5 cats. The one that serves as my avatar is my youngest female kitty, Spicy. The oldest kitty's name...

Hello everyone! I've been lurking in this thread and I hope that you don't mind if I join in. I started STS in the second week of January. Wow! It is really different from any other Cathe workout. I am also quite introverted...so as weird as it may sound...joining in with other...

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for posting different homeopathic treatment for nail fungus. My first nail infection happened when I was a teenager. Over the years, I have done topical prescribed lotions, several different oral medications, toenail removal. Each one helped for...

I had a similar problem when I tried to add an additional DVD to the calendar. It worked after a few attempts. Hopefully, it's just a little bug that they will work out. Perhaps you could try to add your yoga workout to a rest day and then drag the icon to the appropriate day.

Hahaha! It made my cats' tail fluff!

Check out Workout Manager. Select calendar, then click on the day you did Butts and Guts. Click on add workout. You can then select the appropriate DVD. Workout Manager will then estimate your calorie burn. I recently got a heart rate monitor and found that my calorie burn was much lower...

Ahhh, yes! This was the exact term I was thinking of when I read this thread! My "system" never worked very well, so I first started noticing some memory loss when I turned 40. Then came the mood swings, night sweats and other perimenopausal symptoms. I had my last period when I turned 46...

As a person who has struggled with obesity for a good portion of her life, I can confidently say that little of your friend's struggle is about food. Yes, it is about the amount and type of food, but it is all triggered by psychological stresses and triggers. All you need to do is look at how...

I've been on vacation for the last several days, so I'm sorry that this response is a little late. 112toGuru: I think that part of my problem is that I have trouble doing things like HR checks consistently. I think that I should make that attempt. Now, I'm depending on my body to tell me...

Good point, LastTango! I think that I just have to take several factors and tools into consideration and hopefully will come up with a relatively accurate burn. Unfortunately, my HRM does not come with a my OWN ZONE. Sounds like a good feature and would make the monitor more accurate...

I'd love it if you would post the formula when you find it. I've found in the past that I get all excited about exercising, then push past my abilities and either get hurt or burned out and stop exercising again. I've done that waaay to many times in the past and do not want to do it again...

That is interesting that they have their own proprietary formula for calorie calculations. My model doesn't let you set an activity level, but I did input age and weight. Both are higher than I would like :eek:. I'm not in very good shape yet, so a lower heart rate shouldn't be a factor...

Hey, that does look cool! Looks like the app is only for iPhone...I have an android phone. I gave it a quick view, though, and wonder if you take your HR as soon as you get up if you can get the same info? The video seemed to hint at that, but as a disadvantage. I have never heard of...

CeciFifi: It's interesting to see that you are getting results similar to what I got with the polar HRM. I've got a lot of weight to lose :o, so that's why I am more concerned with at least a semi-accurate calorie burn estimate. Since I weigh more, I should burn more. I need a daily caloric...

I recently bought a Polar FT7 heart rate monitor. I was rather suprised that my calorie burn from the monitor was much lower than what I got in Workout Manager. For example, I did Supersets today. Workout manager said my calorie burn was 648. My monitor said 194. Pretty huge difference...

I love roasted green tea. It's a Japanese tea called hojicha. Most asian markets carry it.
