I've only done it once, as I have so many others to do (Cathe's 4DS, Amy's Slo Mo, Tracey's Parts, Kelly's CSF, YBBC) that have come in recently. But I did enjoy it. Jari seems much more relaxed and less scripted. I don't remember any talk of carbs or calories. The exercises are supersetted...

Doesn't the Troy Lite bar accept any standard plate? I'd just go cheap on that and buy plates from a local Play It Again Sports. The High Step Topper is so versatile, I couldn't imagine doing my workouts without it. Diane

I've read the responses posted so far, and it seems none of you have tried Ripped and Chiselled, but are judging it by the other Ripped workouts. As one who has actually tried R&C, I thought it much better than S&L, RTTC, and R1000. Jari is much less scripted and doesn't go into the carb and...

>BTW - I hate those pushups in the clock formation. What's up >with that anyway? I just do 12 pushups in place. Maybe if I >had a huge floor, they might be OK. I just go from side to side. At least I can get the benefit of balancing on one arm as I move and get a little core work in. I...

You can buy individual risers for $12.50 each at www.fitness1st.com For leg presses, Cathe uses 5 risers to make the total height 14". The exception of this is Muscle Endurance where she and the cast are using 6 risers (16"). I find having 6 risers great because then you can use 3 on each...

That's got to be the renamed version of The Shape of Things to Come, if you got it at Deep Discount. If it is, it's a fantastic workout! Some of the cardio is high impact, but not over-the-top. The weight work has somewhat a functional fitness element to it. I find myself smiling through the...

Technically, the juice sacs around the seeds, called arils, are the part we like to eat. There is a crunchy seed within the aril. When eating the arils/seed one by one, you probably don't notice the seed. But if you eat them by the spoonful, you end up with a mouthful of crunch after the...

The fastest and cleanest way to get the seeds out is to cut off the ends, then cut it in quarters. Be sure to do this part on something that won't stain or can be thrown away, as the juice released will stain. Then fill a bowl full of water and roll the seeds out of each quarter. Drain your...

I think having men in the workouts is a good idea. It helps argue the concept that DVD/video workouts are "girly". My only problem that in the past, they've been added to the background crew and the set is too crowded. I'd hate to see any of my favorite workout partners go, but sometimes...

Scratch your head, shrug your shoulders, and forget about it. Who knows what social etiquette is in Brazil, or if the store made a mistake. What good does it do to be bothered by it? And there is no way to bring up the subject of not getting a thank-you card without breaching etiquette...

I did Muscle Max this morning and Rhonda was in it. Diane

I wouldn't worry about it. The only bad publicity is no publicity, right? Diane P.S. and I post as mtnmom there, just as I do here

My step is stored under the bed. My stability ball is in my bedroom closet. I have a double closet bar system and I've had to keep the ball on top of the lower bar. I used to store it on the floor, but my cat decided to jump on top of it there. She balanced pretty well, but the ball didn't...

1) Fried pork rinds 2) Liver 3) Rock Candy 4) Christmas Fruitcake That's all I can think of. Spam doesn't gross me out, neither does any kind of sushi or shellfish. There are many foods I don't care to eat, but nothing that really is offensive to me. Diane

My absolute favorites are The Shape of Things to Come and Step Boxing 2. Close 2nds would be NYC and the new Cardio/Sculpt workout. The original Step Boxing was a little frantically paced for me. I never had Ready, Step, Go! Diane

Another Californian here. $3.23 in the Bay Area. Diane

Of Cathes, I'd say the ab work in PUB - the ball work is killer! Of others, P90X Ab Ripper (although it's hard on my hip flexors) and Fitball Upper Body always give me ab DOMS.

I can barely eek out the 14 reps in Muscle Max with a 30lb barbell. When Cathe said she was picking up a 35lb barbell for crazy 8's, I thought she was crazy! I did manage to do it with a 25lb barbell, but I felt like such a wimp. Did anyone notice if Cedie, Jai, Lorraine, and Brenda were...

That's appalling! Be sure to click the tabs at the top to see how it's changed over the years. Thanks for sharing, Diane
