    Summer Fitness Challenge Feb 21-28

    Hi everyone! I'm wondering if it'd be okay to join this check in? I just jumped on the scales this morning and was shocked; i've gained about 8 pounds in a really short time period!!! I have GOT TO get my eating in check, and I think a check-in forum would really help on this. Some...

    Step height; intensity and fun-factor

    Debbie and Melissa, thanks for your answers! You said what I thought, but it's nice to hear it from someone else. I have a small voice saying I'm cheating if I'm using the lower step, so it's nice to have encouragement from others who found the lower step worked for them. Besides, if working...

    Step height; intensity and fun-factor

    Hi everyone! I've had a blast trying out the new Hardcore workouts, so far I've only done Lo max, IM3 and Muscle max. I've always used an 8" step, but now I decided to try out IM3with 6". I had so much fun (of course, it's the new workout too), but in general I felt like the stepping was much...

    I MAX 3, High Step and Core

    RE: IM3=awesome!!! Cathe, I HAVE TO jump in here to fully agree! I just got done with IM3 too, and I've NEVER in my life had such a FUN TIME WORKING OUT, let alone it being a high intensity workout!!! AMAZING JOB!!! I always made myself do interval workouts because they do such good things...

    I LOVE LO MAX!!!

    Me too! I can't believe I was hesitating whether to get this one or not! Now I don't know how I've managed without it (and I only did it once so far!!!;)) It is absolutely fantastic! Fun, and it gives you a nice lower body workout at the same time. Great job, Cathe!!! MariaS

    January rotation 1/15/2005

    Hi everyone, It was supposed to be STep fit for me too, but I was feeling extremely energetic and slept well so I ended up substituting Imax Xtreme for it. I really gave it my all, and now my whole body is feeling really tired.S o I'm wondering if that was a smart move... I also did PUB core...

    January Rotation 01/13/2005

    Hi! After yesterday being a rest day for me MIC actually felt kinda doable. I was sweating buckets, and I don't think my heartrate has stayed this high ever in this workout before! I think I see some kind of increase inmy cardio capacity too. That always feels so good! I still haven't been...

    JANUARY ROTATION 1/12/05

    Hi! Today was rest day for me. Tomorrow I'll be right on schedule again with MIC. Usually I really dislike my rest days, but this time I have to say it felt almost good. My legs are still sore from PLB, IMax1 and BC! Good job everyone, and I agree, it's always best to remember we're...

    IMAX interval 8 power scissors after PLB? Evil Rotatio...

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought I was the only one who felt that way! I was pretty much dying doing Imax1 too, especially since I was stupid enough to do Power Circuit as and extra cardio before PLB! And the day after Imax she asks for BC!!! LOL!!! I love your "Cathe remark" about...

    Jan Rotation Check in 01/11/05

    Gayle, I'm so sorry for your loss! I'll send my prayers your way. I read your post and just had to respond because I too am a single mom (except my husband very unexpectedly just left me and our two young daughters, working full time and doing my best to work out full time!;) It can really be a...

    Jan Rotation Check in 01/11/05

    Hi, today was Bootcamp for me. I could have gone a little heavier on the barbell, but I didn't feel like pushing myself because my legs are still sore from the last workouts. (I think PLB, Imax 1 and BC one after another is quite a challenge! Anyone else think it's tough?) I keep munching...

    January rotation 1/10/05

    Hi everyone, I'm on the second day of the second week, so today was Imax1 for me. I did PLB and Power Circuits yesterday, so my legs are REALLY sore today! I was dying by the power scissors, and by the last interval I was practically screaming for mercy... my legs were shaking under me, I'm...

    Which Hardcore DVD are you going to do first?

    Tough one... I think I'll preview Imax 3 first, and if it happens to fit into my rotation I might try that one out first too. And why not finish it off with a stretch workout... After that it's probably going to be Muscle max, Core max and High step, in that order. I'm getting so...

    Rest days?

    I hear ya! I have a hard time taking my rest days too, I feel extremely sluggish and grumpy the whole day too. I try to plan them for days when I'm really busy, or when I know I won't get to bed until late the evening before (since I work out in the early morning, I'll appreciate the extra time...

    Good, thorough stretching dvd...

    Hi Wendy! I haven't tried it, but I've heard good things about Karen Voights stretching tape (forget the name, but she only has one pure stretching tape, about 30 minutes or so in length). I was thinking of ordering it myself too, but I think I'll wait for Stretch Max before getting anything...
