PUB This is the one I would take if I were stranded on a desert island and could only have one strength tape.

Funny you should ask . . . I haven't pulled this one out in a long time, but I'm coming off a one-month sick leave, and wanted to ease back into working out. Used this is week, and it's perfect! When an hour of cardio seems like too much, this is quick and dirty. I usually tack on a PUB...

For the past 3 weeks or so, I've been having off-and-on pain in the ball of my foot, between the big toe and the second toe. I'll take a step, and the pain takes my breath away. Then, I won't feel it for a few days, and then it's suddenly back. I have no idea what this could be. Anyone else...

Thanks so much, Kathryn!

Teals: You said that the upper body split that combines all the weight work is included in the DVD. I was under the impression that it was not. Can you tell me where to find this? lynda

Traci-X: I guess I would have known that if I had read the manual for him, but I stopped short of that! I will take a closer look. Lynda

Thanks, again, everyone. I think I'm going to present him with the two options (Power 90 and Turbulence Training) and see which appeals to him more. Isn't he lucky to have me doing all this groundwork for him? Ha ha! Lynda

Thanks, everyone. I'm going to check out the Beach Body site. As much as I'm sure the Turbulence Training is a great book, my husband is much more successful at sticking with a plan that's laid out for him. His free time is so limited, it actually took some convincing to get him to try the...

Hi all! I got my husband P90X for Christmas, and he is now in Week 9. He has always worked out, but this is his first experience with a structured workout program. He's loving the program and the results. He's begun thinking about what to do once he finishes the program. I haven't done P90X...

Kathryn: I just had to respond to you, as I can feel your pain coming through your post. I'd also like to extend my condolences on the loss of your cats. Try not to blame yourself. Happy 50th Birthday, as well. I'm not the most frequent poster here, and I'm not sure how well you all...

Yay! Last week my husband got a nice bonus and told me to treat myself and order the remaining DVDs that I needed to complete my Cathe conversion to DVDs. I just received the box with my 7 DVDs, and I am now Cathe VHS FREE! I guess I can sell them on ebay? What a great guy! Just had to...

I love, love, love tea, but I've got to say that my favorite is Dragon Pearl Jasmine from Harney & Sons. Where do you get Earl Grey Lavender? That sounds heavenly! lynda

Okay, how about some recipes to entice me to lug mine up from the basement. I have no idea where the manual is, and that's where I used to get my recipes. lynda

RE: more cardio or less for significant body fat reduct... Thanks so much for posting this rotation. I build muscle very easily, but I also tend to hang on to the fat. After years of trying to "cardio" it away with 5-6 cardio days and 2-3 weight work days, I have finally conceded that it's...

RE: more cardio or less for significant body fat reduct... Wendy: Can you give us an example of what a typical week's rotation would be for you. I am trying this theory as well, and am not quite sure what will provide results. Thanks, lynda

Thank you both for the replies. I guess I just always thought that fewer reps with heavier weight would produce more size. Will revise my routine to incorporate your advice. By the way, Janie, I'm in the middle of BFFM now. I haven't gotten to the Weight Training section yet, but I'm...

How about: Saran Wrap and Jello And from the "olden days:" Frigidaire and Mix Master (my mother says these.)

I dropped my beloved PUB for a month or so while doing a Slow & Heavy rotation. My shoulders seem to be shrinking. I'm using as heavy a weight as I can with good form. What am I doing wrong? I'm not liking this look.

RE: Something called a Does a movie ever go a book justice? I always like my kids to read the book before they see the movie.

RE: Something called a Okay, 9-year old Claudia says: "Jess, one of the kids in the book, doesn't get Twinkies that often because his family isn't that wealthy. His dad got Twinkies when he was in Washington for Jess's little sister. One day, a girl at school stole Jess's sister's...
