    Can someone give me a 101 on foam rollers?

    Hi Everyone! I'm interested in foam rollers, and I'd like to get a bit more information on them. How/when are they used? What are the different kinds? Any instances when they should NOT be used? Please share any of your personal experiences! Thanks so much in advance! Liz

    Rehab-ing a sprained ankle - what to do in the interim?

    Help! I badly sprained my ankle running and it seems to be taking forever to heal. Any suggestions on what kind of workouts to do while recovering would be greatly appreciated. I don't belong to a gym and I'm not such a fan of swimming. I have basic home workout stuff (dumbells, barbell...

    Workouts similar to Cardio Coach?

    ...or is there only one Sean!! I am using Cathe's Slow and Heavy and alternating it with running days. I love Cardio Coach and am wondering if there is anything out there that is similar? I've tried iTread, but Grace Lazenby just doesn't do it for me. Any suggestions? Thanks! Liz

    Leslie Sansone, anyone?

    I wanted something not too strenuous to add to this month's rotation - I normally walk my dogs for a couple of miles, but they are chihuahuas and it's 11 degrees outside!! It's a no-go!!! Has anyone had experience with Leslie's walk at home vids? Thanks! Liz

    Heel pain, anyone?

    Hi Everyone! I've been experiencing weird pain in my right heel and thought I'd ask if anyone has had a similar experience. I feel a pulling/burning sensation when I do a standing hamstring stretch with my toes pointed toward the ceiling (I can't even stretch my hammies since the pain starts...

    Eating before a workout

    I'm thinking of Chalean Extreme - opinions?

    I NEED to get out of this rut!! I'm thinking that Chalean Extreme might be a good fit for me right now. I understand the workouts are about 45 or so minutes and are pretty intense. I have STS, but zero gumption to do the all the necessary calculating work beforehand. Any opinions on this...

    VERY disappointed in customer service

    I purchased the STS Shock Cardio some time ago and now cannot find the e-mail with the 20% discount code. I see that today is the last day to use the code, so I called "customer service" to ask that they re-send the coupon or provide me with the code once they verify my order. Apparently they...

    Quad work with resistance bands: suggestions?

    Hi! I need to work on my quads to help stabilize my knees a bit more and am wondering if anyone has suggestions for exercises with resistance bands. I'm trying to stay away from squats right now, so anything seated would be great. Thanks for your input! Liz

    Tom Venuto's new book is...

    awesome! Really excellent - I've just finished part one and it's all about getting your mind right about food. It's filled with tools and strategies to change how one looks at food. I highly recommend "The Body Fat Solution" for those who are emotional/mindless eaters - like me!! I'm excited...

    Heart Rate Monitors?

    Hi! I think I must be doing something wrong with posting, so I'll try again! I am considering the Polar FT60 - does anyone have any experience with it? Is there a better one? I like to run and want something that accommdates STS. Thanks! Liz

    HRMs - best one for me?

    Hi all! I'm looking for a heart rate monitor and am thinking of the Polar FT60. It looks pretty comprehensive yet still easy to use. I like to run and lift weights. I think this one will be compatible with STS. What do you think? I've consistently found the advice here to be excellent...

    cyber-bullying: is it a way of life?

    I just needed to get this out... Young women are more and more publicly bullying one another on the Internet - like it's just a thing they do!! This morning I saw some of the things that are being written about my daughter on Facebook and it just breaks my heart. She's a sweet girl - she's...

    bad hair dayz...

    I'm just whining a little bit here... I got my hair cut a couple of weeks ago, and let's just say that it isn't the best cut I've had. My sylist and I had a communication breakdown (I said shorter meaning higher off my collar, she thought I meant closer to my head). I look like a boy in back...

    Standard Bar vs. Olympic bar?

    What's the preference? I'd like to get a plate rack, but I have to decide if I want to stay standard or go to olympic. I think the latter may be too huge, but I could be wrong. What do most of you ladies use??

    Question about Workout Manager

    Hi! I think the workout manager is great, especially since you can download Cathe's workouts. The question I have, though, is if there is a way to see specifically what one is supposed to do that day? For example, today I should do only the abs section from KPC, but I just see the KPC icon...
