I thought that might get your attention! We had a great family weekend. The weather was beautiful and we hung out on the water with friends doing various things. How was everyone's Mother's Day? I'll be doing a TBW workout with my friend today who, due to both of us being sick at different...

Hey! I just read all the posts about the Road Trip and thought I'd continue it here since the other was getting so long. For those with reservations about not measuring up to some high-schoolish standard, please don't give it another thought! I cannot stress enough how warm and kind...

Hi Cathe! I've been doing B&G once a week for the past six weeks and have not seen results like this from a workout in a long time! I'm seeing muscles in my legs I've never seen before and my butt is rounder and really facing north!:) I've also noticed a marked improvement when doing Drill...

Hey all! I did B&G today (that is THE most awesome workout!) and am going to do an UB workout tomorrow at the Y with a friend. I'm going to use the assisted pull-up machine at a level where I hopefully won't get injured. We're going to try to work out there every week for a change of pace. I...

I almost forgot! I hope you have a great year!:) :) :)

Good morning Chinsters! Catherine, you're probably imagining that extra belly flab since you haven't been able to work out as you usually do. I'm sure you look great. And thanks for sharing your funny post-colonoscopy story! Briee, it's funny how certain dumb things just strike you in...

Hi AJ! For a variety of reasons, I like to keep my cardio to about 30-40 min (including WU and CD) and am sick of intervals 1-6 or 4-10 on the Imaxes. I sometimes do the blast only section of Imax 2 which takes about 40 min, but I'm sick of that too. Could you please devise some mish-moshes...

Thanks for all the attention to detail you are giving to this new series and for keeping us posted in the blog. Does somebody do the workouts between authoring and duplication? If so, who?

I have a good friend who is smart, warm and loving. She has a son and a daughter, ages 9 and 10. She is one of the best mothers I know: patient but firm, engaging, fun. Both children are extremely bright, but her son is borderline brilliant. He taught himself to read when he was three, could...

Good morning! What's everyone up to today? My back/neck is still pretty sore, so no chins, UB or core work for me still.x( I stupidly used a 50# barbell for PLB the day before yesterday and probably set the healing back. I had thought I'd just try it, and if I didn't feel any pain, I'd...

Good morning! No chins or other workouts for me today. I've got a meeting this morning and then I'm taking my 6-yr-old daughter to Busch Gardens. My boys are both at camp. Yesterday I tried Seasun Ziegler's Rock Steady Step which I had ordered from DDD ages ago but never tried. It was...

Hey Chinnies! I just did Supersets (still sticking with Total Bodies, and SS is a good one to start with after a break from lifting). I also tried some assisted chins using my high step but am not sure how to do them correctly. I watched the German girl on P90X Chest & Back but her bar is so...

I love the timers at the bottom of the screen on P90X and Gin Miller's Intense Moves. Is this something you would consider having for the next series?

Hey Chinstahs! Where are you? No chins for me till tomorrow, but I did KPC Abs, followed by Imax 3 1-6 and a yoga stretch. Imax 3 felt especially hard today. I think it's the hardest Imax by far. Melody, have you gone to the beach yet?

Hi all! Thought I'd report on my chins today: Did 3 reps unassisted, first one 1/3 of the way up; second one, 1/2; third one, 1/3 again. I then did four 15-ct negs followed by MM abs. I'm going to work on increasing the reps to eight. I'll do the rest of MM later. Very quiet here today...

The Wed thread was getting so long, I thought I'd start a fresh one. I tried two unassisted, one w/slightly bent arms/feet off the floor and the other from a complete dead hang (NOT that I'm dependent on them or anything:P). With both reps, I could only get 1/3 of the way upx( . I'm...

Can anyone tell me which exercises are not on the MM Timesaver Premix? I'd like to do it later but am a little short on time today.

Hey chins! I just got back from the beach yesterday - what a fun, relaxing five days! No chins, but I did do power yoga twice and Pilates once. We got back late yesterday afternoon and, just for the heck of it, I attempted a chin-up from a dead hang and probably got the farthest up yet (which...

Good morning! No chins for moi today - just 1/2 Imax and some yoga. I've got a couple of meetings today and a birthday celebration on a friend's sailboat tonight. Friday we leave for Bethany Beach, Delaware, for five days, staying at the beach house of a friend. I don't think there's a...

My six-year-old daughter, Aline, has asked me several times what your middle name was, but I keep forgetting to ask you.:)
