    I'm DISGUSTED!!

    Clare, That's right. That was something I did not hit on, but when you deny yourself fruits and vegetables you are missing out on many wonderful antioxidants and phytochemicals. There is no evidence that you can replace these phytochemicals with vitamin/mineral supplements. The suggestion for...

    I'm DISGUSTED!!

    LAST EDITED ON Mar-30-02 AT 01:29PM (Est)[p]Hi Stacy, Actually, yes, glucose may be made from protein when carbohydrate intake is too low. The term is gluconeogenesis. Glucose is produced from amino acids. This process occurs in the liver. Actually, however body protein (muscle) is used rather...

    I'm DISGUSTED!!

    Hi Adrienne, I do not mean to beat a dead horse, but really, 1 gram of protein per pound body weight is actually much more than anyone needs. For women, the RDA equation is .8 grams per kilogram (which is equal to 2.2 pounds). Endurance athletes, pregnant women, and older adults may have higher...

    I'm DISGUSTED!!

    Hi Adrienne, I was wondering why you are eating the nutrition bars and nutrition shakes? If they are high in protein, it appears yu are getting more than adequate protein from your "real" food. It does look like you should be eating more fruits/vegetables however. I noticed you only had one...

    Your music

    Cathe, just wanted to tell you how much I loved the music on Rhythmic step/Power Hour. Please, keep using the original compositions. So much better than tired top forty stuff.

    Can you remember how you "found" Cathe?

    Hi, Like many, I started stepping with Kathy Smith's Step Workout. I added Karen Voight's Energy Sprint, Kathy's Power Step and Great Buns and Thighs later. I then started taking a step class at the Y. The Intermediate/Advanced class was very similar to Cathe in terms of intensity and...

    Why can't every business be run like yours?

    Hello Cathe, I could not hold out much longer and ordered 2 Power Hours and 2 Rhythmic Steps (along with Interval Max for the 5 for 4 dicount of course!) After almost three long days of waiting my package arrived. Imagine my dismay when the box only contained three videos. (Although I was not...

    kickboxing fans

    I have actually heard a lot of positive comments on TKO. A few months ago I decided I HAD to have it. I tried forever to obtain it from the echange. I previewed it briefly once, then promptly exchanged it. I cannot even say that I knew I wouldn't like it. I might have. I have no idea why I...

    Pre-workout Snack

    RE: Banana! Kay, I agree, a half a banana and plenty of water is a perfect early morning pre-workout snack. I find a half a banana before I go running really helps.

    Pre-workout Snack

    I had to take a nutrition class for my nursing course work. We learned protein requirements for an adult are .8 grams per kilogram of body weight. To arrive at your weight in kg divide your weight by 2.2 According to my class, protein requirements for someone who is 132 ponds would be 48 grams...

    Cardio or Strength training first??

    Hi I recently read in Self magazine that research shows that it really does not make a difference. Stick with what you like best.

    Pre-workout Snack

    I agree, Honeybunch. I will never understand the point of protein shakes. They are pretty expensive. It is not as if the body uses protein for energy (unless you are running a marathon or doing a triathalon or something equally long!). Don't most Americans get way plenty of protein anyway...

    In need of a video

    RE: Try "BodyMax" I think Body Max is a wonderful tape. That said, I would definitely not recommend it to you. You are searching for more of a beginner's tape that lasts 30 minutes. This does not fit the bill. Beginners tapes that I would recommend include Kari Anderson/Linda Evans "A New...
