    Mindi - Body RX Question

    Rhonda that would be a very good question for the Dr...IMO tho, I would think that compressing the cycles to less than 5wks wouldn't give you the time needed to see the benefits of each eating cycle. Remember, Dr. Connelly states in the book that the nutrition is 70% of the program. On our BRX...

    Could you give up cardio?

    Hi Edith. I do know the BodyRx and I have basically given up cardio w/very good results. However I do love Taebo and when I feel I can, I add a 30 minute Taebo workout, usually the Impact series which is using a standing bag and gloves. I think whatever works for you is the way to go, in...

    A crowned tooth?????????

    yep its worth it! they'll take a mold of your tooth, put a temp. cap on it and then glue your new crown on when its ready and it'll be permanent! takes a couple weeks to get the new crown after they take the mold for it. least for me it does. doesn't hurt at all...only your pocketbook. *S*

    Opinions on The Crossbow....???

    My BF has a Bowflex and I use it a lot, its a wonderful machine and well worth the cost. We saw this 'crossbow' on tv and he thinks there is more potential for injury because of the lack of length of their bows which would provide a less smooth movement. He may be all wet, but once you try a...

    Dr. Phil again

    I dunno..I know its hip to like Dr. Phil, but personally I don't care for him or his 'advice.' It seems to me that its pretty easy to upbraid someone, but its another thing to actually offer helpful advice and ways to make changes if the person is willing to do so. I haven't seen a lot of his...

    Jilliana, I love that fitness site!!! I ordered the collars and I'm trying to restrain myself from order a whole new barbell set and other stuff I really don't need. Thanks for sharing! :)

    MIS/PH and hurtin' unit

    I'm sure not Cathe either! But if I did PH and MIS in the same week? I'd probably have to go to the hospital. :) I bet you're worn! That's a rough pair in to handle in just a couple days of each other.

    Hey Taebo Fans

    I was over at Best Buy today, cruising the fitness DVDS (Special Interest area, LOL), and the VHS ones, which are in a more respectable area. LOL Anyway they have Taebo Ultimate on VHS and you can buy the tapes separately, 9.99 each. Just an FYI.

    PowerHour just royally kicked my A**!!!!!

    Well girls I've certainly learned my lesson..never overestimate yourself when you do a new Cathe! (well new to me anyway!) Janice I'm back to 6wks of strength building, starting tomorrow, but I'll tell you the next time I try old PH, it'll be my bodybar, NOT a barbell and I'll use nothing...

    PowerHour just royally kicked my A**!!!!!

    Gad you guys..I'm sitting here, trembling all over and sweating like a pig after just doing PH for the first time!! It beat me UP TOTALLY! For the first time, I cussed at Cathe..during the 2nd second of dumbell lunges..I cursed her like Ozzy curses!! During the upper body work, I literally had...

    fitprime

    On a couple other boards there seems to be great controversy going on now w/the fitprime co. I think I'll wait and see if I can swap for one of their tapes, just to try em out, rather than try to order one.

    Did anyone see Oprah yesterday?

    RE: oh no, oprah Donahue's back. :) I wonder how many more years of fitness "revelations" Oprah will have?? I know that getting in and staying in shape is difficult, believe me! But it would seen that a woman will all the available options she has could find someone to keep her on the path to...

    Opinions on Body Rx eating

    Yup I do Rhonda and in Cycle 3 its not easy! But I used some whey protein supplements to help. This time around tho I'm going to do my best to get my protein and fiber counts from real food as much as possible. Nothing wrong w/grabbing a shake now and then to help out but I think the fresher the...

    Frequent Meals

    Came across this article, thought some of you may be interested: from abcbodybuilding.com: You need to understand that the more frequently you eat, the more muscle you will gain and the leaner you will be. This is for several reasons, three of which are: A. High meal frequency allows you to...

    Opinions on Body Rx eating

    Elaine you have to throw out everything you've been taught about eating when you start this plan and its hard to do! I know! I eat an avocodo every single day! The whole avocado! Good fats and plenty of fiber flush out that fat. Actually my appetite has increased a lot since starting this...

    Question for those who already have Pyramid Upper and Lower

    Wow, this has been REALLY helpful! Thanks much you guys..I may check into a 2nd barbell simply because the one I have now is an old hand-me-down from my BF and you need a WRENCH to change the weights! Who has time for that??? LOL

    Opinions on Body Rx eating

    Hi Barbie. :) Well the Cycle 1 part of BRX calls for heavy lifting, 3 sets of about 6 reps w/a 3min. rest in between. So for that I use Slow&Heavy, follow the exercises, but when Cathe's doing 8 reps or so, I'm resting. Or if its not enough time, I pause it. For C2 and 3, I've used MIS and PS...
