Dear Kotex: I recently noticed that the peel-off strip of my pantiliner had a bunch of "Kotex Tips for Life" on it. Annoying advice such as: * Staying active during your period can relieve cramps. * Avoiding caffeine may help reduce cramps and headaches. * Drink 6-8 glasses of water a...

I haven't posted my thoughts on the original thread...but I have been following it. The message behind it has gotten me thinking about my "middle America" type of consumerism. My DH and I are not in an income bracket to even allow us the opportunity to become accustomed to a house big enough...

I've just recently discovered the itrain series and all I have to say is WOW!!! I did my first one yesterday...an itread (set 5/40 minutes) and it was the best treadmill workout I had ever done...UNTIL...I did iclimb (set 5/40 minutes) today...and THAT was by far the best treadmill workout I...

It's been so long since I've preordered the new videos that I can't remember if I've already paid for them. I'm vaguely remembering that we did pay for them once we placed the preorder...or am I wrong and we will be charged upon shipment??? Deni

I recently decided to order some of Mindy's workouts. Over the last few days I've completed her Kick Butt Bootcamp and Awesome Intervals. I've previewed Action Packed and Interval Express (haven't done these two yet). All I have to say is WOW...is this chick chatty and super spazzy!!!!!! I'd...

I'm thinking about joining a local gym to partake of their spinning classes...but I'm scared...heehee. I've watched these insane people in the spinning rooms appearing as though they are voluntarily being tortured x( }( ;( . I need alot of help in toning and shaping my legs (very skinny) and...

I just found Cathe in the last 3 or 4 months after needing a break from P90X and Beachbody programs in general. I haven't done anything BUT Cathe during this time. I decided today to do Plyo X and was a bit nervous as I hadn't done it in forever and whenever I used to do it it would be one of...

I need your expertise in helping me decide which upper body workout to do tomorrow. The choices are between BodyMax's upper body segment, CTX upper body, and Power Hour upper body. I'm looking for something more endurance based. Do you guys have any advice to share on which one to chose?? I...

I was just reading the tummy post and read that some of you are struggling with the issue of pants fitting in the legs but being too loose in the waist. Don't forgo those pants...as all you need to do is get the waist taken in. I saw this recently on Oprah when she had a segment in her show...

Just had to share that I'm experiencing my worst DOMS to date from the Pure Strength Chest, Shoulders, and Tri's workout I did yesterday. After completing it I was shocked at how short it was in comparison to many of her others, but WOW...that little bugger gets right in there doesn't itx( x(...

I hear everyone talking about adding cushion to their shoes by putting in seperate insoles. I think I may need a pair a) to make my shoes fit a bit better and b) to make my new shoes a bit "bouncier". What kinds do people recommend??? Deni

I'm having a horrible time in my search for a pair of good aerobic shoes. I'm so incredibly stressed over it it's not funny. I've returned the Enlight's I got from Zappos (too wide), a pair of New Balances (made the ball of my foot scream in agony after MIC), and now a pair of Ballo Shox (not...

Has anyone had success following a rotation using just the Pure Strength workouts for their weight training?? I have a four week block to fill and I can't decide if I should do all four weeks with Pure Strength or alternate it with something else (one week PS one week ?). I have planned a...

I'm in the middle of trying to create my next rotation. I want to use the S & H series. I also just bought all of the Powerstrike videos (you guys are great for giving me excuses to spend money :D :D ) and want to incorporate those as well. For those of you with experience with both of these...

Ok today was the first time I did this one...and let me tell ya it ROCKED!! As I've stated before I've done P90X and during a couple of those workouts (Plyo and Chest & Back to be specific) I've finished feeling rather nauseous :-( :-( ...like I had just worked as hard as I possibly could have...

Today my legs and butt are soooooo sore. I did PLB two days ago and for some reason thought it a good idea to do Low Max yesterday ;( . The DOMS I'm feeling today are like no other :o . My legs were sore yesterday from PLB so not sure why I thought it a good idea to put them through Low...

I'm so excited that I just officially completed my first 4 week Cathe rotation using the GS workouts...and I'm most excited about the fact that I won't have anymore dropset pushups for at least another month :D :D :D !! Those things are beastly!!!!! Deni

I've been doing Cathe's workouts for the last 6 weeks or so and my knees are not very happy with me at all. I think it's the combo of the step work and all of the lunges...my knees have never really enjoyed lunges. They just feel so weak and unstable almost. Anybody else struggle with this...

I'm new to Cathe...been doing her stuff for about 6 weeks now. I guess I got a little overconfident in my choreography abilities and decided to attempt Rhythmic Step today :o :o :o . All I can say is I didn't get much of a workout in...as standing there with you're mouth hanging open staring...

I think I've narrowed down my search for new shoes to the Ryka Affirm XT and the Ryka Circuit XT. Does anyone have any opinions on either of these shoes??? Deni
