    Question for the runners among us...

    Hi!!! As many people have already mentioned, this decision depends greatly on how your body handles it. However, if you are training for a specific event such as a Marathon, I strongly advise you not to work your legs on the when you are doing certain runs, as they all have a purpose and you...

    Help! I need a blender for Shakes

    I use a hand-held blender stick instead of an actual blender. It crushes ice really well and you can use in any glass or container, as long as you don't overfill it. I have the smartstick by cuisinart and I love it!!! It is also great for making things like puree vegetable soup because you...

    I think I'm giving up on jeans.

    Don't feel stumped!!! Pants are one of the hardest articles of clothing to buy, and sometimes it is worth spending the money to get them altered by a good tailor and having them fit your body as thought they are custom made. I have had alterations done on many pants which fit in the butt and...

    Dilema: Long... very long

    I'm sorry to hear about all your troubles. Would you be completely opposed to moving in with your fiance before the wedding? Maybe sleep in different rooms? It seems to me as though moving out would solve a lot of the problems that you have to deal with right now. Your parents may criticize...

    Does anyone else find ab ripper x surprisingly easy?

    Hi everyone, I got p90x recently and decided to do a test run of all the workouts before starting the full rotation. I tried ab ripper x last night and to tell you the truth I wasn't all that impressed. I guess I expected it to be a lot more extreme... Did anyone else find this?

    what do u think???

    Sharona, You should try looking at other companies which sell high steps to see if you can get a better price on the shipping. I ordered mine from collagevideo.com, and it comes with the high step circuit dvd. You should also check out amazon, target.com, or just try googling "high...

    P90X plyo mat

    I am going to order p90x and I wanted to get a bit of advice from those of you who have already done it. Is the plyo mat worth getting? I work out in my basement which has pretty hard concrete floors underneath the carpeting, and I am wondering if this mat will be a good investment in order to...

    Cardio High Step Mix from all High Step Workouts

    Is PUB considered an endurance workout?

    I just wanted to get other people's opinions on whether PUB would be considered an endurance workout due to the high number of repetinions performed (in total) for each excercise. Since there isn't much rest between sets I feel as though each body part is sort of like one giant endurance set...

    Pilates - which is the best?

    I really like Mari Winsor's Maximum Burn Advanced, which they sell on Collage. It is a nice follow up to her older videos with a slightly faster pace and some more challenging excercises. Take care, Ady

    running/jogging shoes

    It would probably be very helpful to go to a specialty running store where someone can look at your feet and suggest some appropriate shoes, and then watch you walk/run in several pairs to determine which gives you the best suppport. Take care, Ady

    How do you acheive a decent blow-out?

    I use the Revostyler brush which some people love and some hate. It took me a while to get used to it, but now I get great results from it. I also use a flatiron made of ceramic and tourmaline crystals. Good flatirons are expensive but well worth the investment, because the metal of bad...

    What's the wierdest thing you've seen at the gym?

    There was once a woman working out on the elliptical next to me, and instead of listening to her music on headphones like everyone else does, she pulled out a c.d. player with speakers and all. I had never seen anything like that!!! Even if her music was half decent (which it was not), it is...

    Perfume at the gym

    I agree, perfume is bad. But, B.O and pooh breath are even worse. I don't know what century we're living in, but some people just don't get that they have to brush their teeth in the morning or put on deodorant before going somewhere where they know they are going to sweat. It just doesn't...

    Jari Love question

    Hi! The step is used as more than just a step bench in almost every video. In Ripped 1000, all of the cardio segments are on the step, and it is also used for lunges and other leg excercises, as well as for chest presses. In Ripped to the Core it is used for step ups, and I am drawing a bit...
