    Getting Out of the Rut- Thursday

    I guess everybody is out exercising! Today I did the arms portion of MM except for triceps... I worked them with Gym Styles Triceps. Then I did the abs from MM. And finally went for an hour fast walk with some hill intervals. I am so loving the Gym Styles! I think I will do a little...

    Getting Out of the Rut - Wednesday

    Morning! Sorry I was MIA yesterday. Long busy day. Didn't get a workout in and ate a bit too much but all is good. I'll pull it together with minimal damage today. Wendy- Why are you afraid of elementary school picture day? By the way, great job doing yesterday's workout with not so...

    Getting Out of the Rut - Sunday

    It's 3pm and I don't see a thread for today so I'll start. Is everybody officially out of their rut? I don't know... I think I still need you guys for a while! Today is an hour walk day. I still have a bad headache and don't want to push myself too much. I promise to walk fast though...

    Protein powder after cardio?

    I just received my Sun Warrior Protein Powder and had some after doing a heavy weight workout. Wondering though: Should I also have some after doing intervals (or any cardio)? Should I have some after doing low weight, high rep workouts?

    Why no DOMS?

    I never get sore. I'm lifting heavier than I ever have, but still haven't. I just started doing some of the barre workouts and they absolutely slay me while I'm doing them, so I'll think "Boy I'm going to be sore tomorrow"... next day- nothing. Maybe I'm wrong but a part of me feels like I...

    Alternating endurance with strength

    I understand that some workouts are more for muscle endurance and some are more for strength, but what is the best way to combine them into a rotation? Should you mix both endurance and strength workouts in the same week? Or should you do all endurance one week and then switch to all...

    Disappearing person

    OK... this is probably going to be a little weird but I'm going to try my best to explain it... I have this disconcerting feeling sometimes when I start to lose weight- right about the time when I start to look lean and fit- that I am losing a part of myself. Say I weighted 130 lbs. and I lose...

    Eat during workout?

    So does anybody else become so hungry during a strength workout that you have to stop and eat before you can continue? I eat about 45 minutes before I start, but sometimes I have to stop and eat a banana or a Larabar (or both) before I finish. Is it just wrong?

    Step or Not?

    Ok, so let's say that you are 54ish years old and up to this point you have never done one second of step... would you start now? I have been hanging around this forum for a few weeks (way, way too much) and the more I read, the more I want to try it. Cathe's brand new step and a video clip...

    Online body fat test

    Could this possibly be accurate? I was hoping that those of you with more sophisticated measuring devices could go to this site, take the test, and then compare the results with the your correct numbers. I am wondering how close it will be. THANKS...

    Lunge vs. lunge

    Quick question: Is there any benefit to doing forward and backward lunges as opposed to just doing standing (stationary) lunges? I have been doing the Muscle Max workout for a couple of weeks (my first Cathe) and would like to replace the leg exercises of that workout with the standing legs...
