I like original BodyMax almost better than the new one, just because I love the choreography in the step part! But I never do it all at the same time - It would probably kill me! I prefer to do the cardio part on my cardio days where I want JUST a great, long cardio workout. I like the...

Awesome space! HUGE!!! We had to split our stuff into two areas of the basement (a weight area and a separate cardio area), but I love seeing someone else with all "MY" stuff, too (including the Wal-Mart Gold's Gym bench & squat rack). Don't you just LOVE our home gyms???? No...

I tried doing the crossed-leg pullup on my Wal-Mart (Gold's Gym brand) squat rack, by placing my padded 15 pound body bar between the uprights, and it felt pretty good in my smaller (5'2" tall lady) hands. I actually liked the feel of using the metal barbell bar a little better, especially...

Just a few days before this new piece of equipment was introduced, I had already tried that w/ mine (the Gold's Gym one from Wal-Mart that's on the website for $144 and in the stores for $134) and determined that it worked great (I weigh 125 and am 5'2" tall). I will obviously be very cautious...

RE: Anyone else have probelms with Circuit Max+Cardio K... >I didn't contact customer service, since my time had most likely expired! Tricia, these DVDs have a lifetime replacement warranty, and Cathe's CS is amazing. You might want to go ahead and email a request a replacement of those...

>I'd love to hear your thoughts on Belize when you get back! >Have a fantastic time!!! Thanks, Beth! We leave in 2 weeks, and I'll post back in late April! Barb

Another thought is that it is the dreaded peri-menopause spread in the midsection. I'm turning 50 next week, a couple of years ago I noticed a very distressing spread, not so much in the abdominals, but in the MID-section - the waist area. I tried EVERYTHING, and was so frustrated. x( My...

My husband fixed the width of the squat rack for me by unbolting the back support down at the floor, and just taking that center section of tubing to a local metal shop. The person at the shop was able to easily cut about 12-14" off of that center section. My husband then came home and used...

Your squat rack made by your FIL is awesome! My husband was SUPER impressed w/ the picture & design. He's decided to not make one for me after all (see my post above), since we ended up buying the Gold's Gym bench & separate squat rack at Wal-Mart that has been talked about so much; even...

My husband built me a barre from a stair railing & brackets, and screwed it into a couple of studs behind our sheetrock in the workout room. I found the DVDs on E-Bay separately. Saved me a TON of money. :7 It's far enough out from the wall that I can fit seated under it, and although it's...

I bought a Blu-Ray and mine was so finicky (delicate) about vibrations, and disc scratches, and heaven-knows-what-else, that it had to be sent back for replacement (kept locking up on both DVDs and BDs). It was a Sharp brand, since I am in love w/ my Sharp Aquos TV, by the way. The Sharp...

Awesome!!! I'm doing a 3-week rotation of Slow & Heavy to get ready for Belize in April. Cathe really makes hauling the tanks above the water EASY! Have you been to Bonaire? It's our favorite spot!

>I think during meso 3, I will simply make my husband wake up >early with me and lift the bar and help me position it! No >need to buy a squat rack, but I suppose I will have to listen >to his mouth.... Hmm.... Now THAT made me giggle! If I did that, my husband would be so sleepy, he...

RE: How about this for a squat rack? >LittleMoFit - thank you! If you come up with anything, >please let me know. You're welcome, and I will! Yesterday, he was "engineering" out loud with me about this, and came up w/ installing two metal poles, floor to ceiling near the edge of the...

Since I just use my step on an incline for some upper body strength work, I find that the standard risers are perfectly safe and stable. No problems on my carpeted floor whatsoever. :-) However, for STEPPING on an incline (a la TransFIRMer workouts), the Original Club Step put up on flat...

RE: How about this for a squat rack? This is the one with the removable squat rack for $144. It's by Gold's Gym http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5280822 I thought about having my husband build me one, too. He's a great carpenter, and has built me a ballet barre on the...

SMART production move - make sure you get it perfect before you move on! Yay!:7

Olivia, I'll be 50 on April Fool's Day, so 1958 was OUR year, eh? Did you know the Burger King Whopper turns 50 this year too? We are in GREAT company! :+ This is an awesome topic thread - so good to see the love and support among those of us in our 40's and 50's. It's hard to admit we...

>I just have to vent about this and some of you will disagree >...I'm >disappointed, I think those guys look very unprofessional and >its a real shame. I'm not particularly happy about the men's clothes being so different in color from Cathe & the ladies, because coordinated outfits for me...

I've done the 4DS upper body twice in one week many times. You've got it split up by 4 days & 3 days, so you should have safely recovered between sessions. I'm a HUGE fan of this premix, since it effectively works EVERYTHING to a nice DOMS the next day. My only wish would have been a...
