OK, Bikini Countdown it is (w/a "Just do it!" implied?) I ended up doing MIC hi/lo only and S&H Biceps/Triceps. Thank you so much for those Sabine- I'm really going to be encorporating them in my workout for the next few weeks. I remember you said (during your oral surgery) that you really...

Good morning everyone~ OK, its the first of a new month - what should the new name be? I'm thinking "Bikini Countdown" since CinDee and I literally are crossing the days off the calendar. Any suggestions? (I liked the "Just do it!" idea- I usually have to tell myself that when I can't get...

Kristen- My sister-in-law does something like this w/a trainer once a week. She will take 45 minutes and exhaust each muscle w/slow, heavy lifting and, although she's naturally thin, she says she's noticed a huge difference in her muscle tone and physique. (I didn't believe her when she told...

Jackie- I totally agree w/Nancy- don't give up. I've always had athletic legs but have noticed a reduction in that tricky spot behind the thighs/glutes. I think the water really helps and add cardio plus floor work (i.e. the last section of PLB). Really, don't give up- I'll be 36 in June and...

Trevor- How strange, you are actually the second person in 2 days that has suggested that I'm overtraining by doing too much cardio and not diversifying my workouts... I can't believe that by working out LESS I may get more results from my workout. Next they'll tell me I have to eat...

Kim- I've found if I start the weekend mornings off ok then I'm not quite so tempted to eat everything in the house. Unfortunately if I do start the day off badly its very hard for me to get back on track and then the whole day is usually a pass. Sabine- sorry you don't feel well- sounds...

Good morning everyone- Today I'm switching w/Wed and am doing ME w/heavy weights- yesterday I did Imax2 followed by the floor section of PLB. I discovered a really cool website that has inspired me to continue w/the weights and possibly lower the cardio which would put me back on track w/the...

Diana, some of us have been roughly following the Muscle & Fitness Hers rotation that was posted here ealier (I think under "6 week fat blasting rotation wanted"). I posted today what I'm going to do this week in the Bikini Body check-in and am going to work on typing up the rest of my...

Step Blast always helps me when I feel I need a "fun" workout to do and gets me out of the dulldrums- good for you Marcia!

If you're not a beginning excerciser but new to step you may want to try Imax 1 or 2- they aren't as complicated step-wise but are a great advanced workout for cardio.

Ack! Just posted a long response and my server went out so I'll be brief... Lori, good luck babysitting! Get a few good workouts in and then enjoy yourself when you go away (do you get to take your new car?) Sabine, yes I did StepBlast and PUB on Sat and had a really good day, then took...

Marie, I've used the Firm box and its very stable. However if you're going to do more Cathe workouts you may want to invest in the mini-step which has several risers you can adjust which I found more helpful. I actually gave my Firm step and most tapes to my sister after I purchased the...

CinDee (and anyone else interested), here's the M&F Hers rotation for this week - I'll probably increase the cardio for myself just because I like it: WEEK 2 RESISTANCE TRAINING FOCUS: HEAVY Work on the bodyparts indicated for each day. Choose three exercises for each major muscle...

Good morning everyone- The baby's schedule has changed and she now likes to get up at 5:45 and stay awake until everyone else in the house wakes up so I made some coffee, looked through the paper and figured I'd check in while its quiet. I only had time for BootCamp yesterday (glad you've...

Just got back from our walk- the weather is incredible right now! I'm going to get my workout over with right now while the baby sleeps. Pinky, I have no idea what you do for 16 hours. There's only far that crayons, stickers, puzzles can get you- I know he's young but would he be interested...

Sabine- you really hit the nail on the head w/the body image post. I think so many of us feel that way and it may be because we work out and see improvements, but we also see our flaws so easily and what still needs "fixing"- I read a great article about "why we aren't all fitness models" on...

Good Morning ladies~ I only have a quick second to check in- its a beautiful day here and I'm taking the kids to the park before the baby naps. I found my rotation doesn't leave a lot of room for time off which was a problem since Wed my chest/back were still a little sore and I had...

Bump for any of you who are doing the M&F Hers 8 week rotation that Crystal posted... Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Brenda

Good afternoon everyone- Shywolf, I just read that its sometimes good to take a whole week off to get refocused on your fitness goals. I know what you mean about the family needing you, almost ALWAYS when I just start to workout. Today I was working out with the 2 & 3 yr olds fighting...

The cape is absolutely beautiful- Newport is a wonderful town which is very kid friendly (lots of walking around) but the summer gets VERY crowded. September (or May) would be a better time to go if you want to enjoy the atmosphere without all the people. There should be a website for each...
