Thanks everyone! I havea SLAP tear in my left shoulder. SLAP stands for something (I googled it then forgot). I hurt it in june '07 and it took the MDs about a year to diagnose the tear. Then I put off surgery until after the holidays. I'll be in a sling for about 6 weeks then on limited...

I hope you all enjoy STS from the get-go. I have a shoulder injury from doing P90X and am having surgery on 2/2. I was really looking forward to doing STS. I'm sure it's as challenging as it seems! Enjoy!

You can also make steel cut oats in the crock-pot (if you have one). Just put 4 cups of liquid (water, milk, half-and-half or a combo thereof) and one cup of steel cut oats in the crock pot and cook for 8-10 hours (overnight) on low. You can also add dried fruit if you like (raisins...

Wow- what great feedback! Gayle - its just the cardio that's too easy. I'm so used to the Imaxes and Cardio Fusion that the "X" cardios seem like a breeze. I just feel like I should be burning more calories to get really fit. I did think that "legs and back" could've been harder (my legs...

OK, I just completed my first week of P90X. I thought this was supposed to be hard! The PlyoX ("The mother of all P90X workouts"!) wasn't nearly as hard as any Imax. My heartrate never crossed the anerobic threshold and I burned WAY fewer calories. Same for Kenpo X. I found myself jumping a...

For me, Imax1 is not my fave Imax (Imax2 is) but it is still my benchmark for testing my fitness. Once I was able to complete interval 10, I knew I was pretty damned fit! Definitely worth the investment, if just for interval variety.

I bought the "Door gym" on ebay and I love it. Its easy to install - no hardware - and therefore is not permanently attached.

Wow - Thanx for the excellent write up. I'm starting the X today and your comments are really insightful. I, too, have a low boredom threshold and my biggest concern is getting bored before the 90 days are up. If guess if you can stick to it, I can too. But then its right back to Cathe, I'm...

Wow - I thought it was jsut me who couldn't fit into today's "modern" jeans. I can't wear boot-cut at all - the yare too narrow in the thighs! They make my butt look good, but I can't move! I'll check out your suggestion. Thanks!

Wow- 14 lbs??? that's about what I need to lose. My diet is also a train wreck - especially knowing that I'm starting anew tomorrow. I've been REALLY bad this weekend. Last minute binging is soooo stupid, I know, but I'm all set for tomorrow. the X diet seems restrictive at first but I'm gonna...

Your rotation looks good to me - I printed it out for future use (I hope you don't mind!). I'll be starting P90X tomorrow. As a veteran P90x'er, do you have any advice? Is it as hard as they say, or should I be ok since I've been doing Cathe so long? Did you get bored doing the same 12...

No nuggies here! I'm open to any and all workout discussions. Thanks to everyone for al lthe suggestions and feedback. I like trying new workouts but don't like easy or boring ones. Another question, if you will indulge me... does anyone have any thoughts about weight loss plans? I've been...

Hi- I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about other intense exercise instructors/regimens? I've been doing Cathe for years (and still love her) but was wondering if P90X, turbo Jam, Amy Bento, Tracey Staehle, etc were worth the time/effort/expense (or any other suggestions). I hate...
