Fireproof Howdy Ladies, I am sorry to hear that there is so much illness going around. It's so hard to be cooped up and have our children sick! Spring won't be coming soon enough! Because we heat with wood stoves, I often have to open the windows up and let fresh air in.... a little cool...

Bench lcobb2, WELL DONE!!!!!!!! :D

Pushups.... my nemisis Larks Mom, Years ago,(25) I loved pushups and was very proud that I could do many of them and have good form. Now, I can hardly eek out a few. I'm going to try and keep up with you! I don't even know what a realistic goal should be..... add one more a week? Two? Three...

Linda, I don't know if this will help or not, but it sure did in our family. When our boys were young and it seemed like keeping toys organized and off the floor was an impossible task, we gathered up ALL the toys the fellas had and put them in a pile. We let each one pick out their absolute...

Back in the saddle again... Yesterday I took the day off. I think my body was badly in need of rest. Does cleaning the whole house and doing the laundry count as cardio? I wish! Today I did Muscle Endurance. I wish I could say that I was able to do every rep, but I can't. Maybe next...

In between a few dead bodies.......... I have been reading a great cozy mystery. Unfortunately, the heroin is also a chef. So, in between finding dead bodies here and there, she's fixing wonderful culinary treats (and all of the recipies are in the back of the book). My success for the day is...

A good start... This morning I did the Firm's Pump, Jump & Jab. I could only do 1/2 pushups:o, but I finished the workout! Throughout the day I'm going to do as many full, good-form pushups that I can muster at a time.

Thanks! Thanks, everyone! Your suggestions were very helpful. I think that I will splurge and get the Gym Style and the Drill Max if it's going to be a while longer for the STS. I am so weak, and although I could lift some weights on my own w/o the dvds, they are so much more inspiring and...

gym style vs. muscle max? I'm trying not to spend too much money. I already have the Muscle Max and am waiting for the STS series. Are the Gym Style trio overkill (actually, all of these workouts are overkill for me:p)? I very much like to lift weights but don't want to buy unnecessarily. Lynn

thanks Tami, thanks for the advice and dvd suggestions. I have tried doing some of the videos w/o the step, which is very helpful, but i still struggle with the twisting, quick motions.....a bit of a dilemma because I love Cathe's videos.... well, actually it's a love/hate relationship. I...

I am trying to find workouts that save my knee from flaring up. It's not from an injury, just a knee on a 44 year old who ran stairs (a lot) for sports training in high school and college, and jumped into a long-jump pit for four years with hardly any sand in it! Now I have a hard time walking...

Anxious to get the STS dvds.... I know we are all anxious (or excited) to get the dvds, but we should all relax. All in good time we'll get them. As soon as we start working out with the first one, some of us will have wished for a little extra time to prepare!!!:D

I just started working out again after a long time. I ordered the STS dvds but was wondering if, while waiting, I could or should order the Gym style series. Are they very similar? Thanks

How does Lo-Carb compare with Clean Eating? Can anyone tell me how a lo-carb diet compares with clean eating? I've got two cookbooks from George Stella and he uses only natural, fresh foods except for some Splenda in a few recipies. I use only olive oil and coconut oil. Thanks, Lynn:)

It's so good to know your're not alone! It's so good to hear others out there who haven't finished their 1RMs in a day or two, or are not finished at all. I feel like a complete sluggard sometimes. I've not worked out steadily for years and am quite weak. I've done about half of all the...

Howdy! I have a wonderful collection of knitting and crocheting books (among gardening, schooling, mysteries, and unfortunately the list keeps going on....we do have a wonderful library, though) Anyway, there are two very wonderful books to start out in knitting..... Donna Kooler's...

More Success Stories, Big and Little! I agree that we need more Success stories. I especially am motivated by "Before & After" photos, not just the beginning and the end, but along the way. I posted a "Before" picture on my MyCatheSpace mostly for the pressure to keep going..... no one wants...

For those of us who have not done all of the, what.....97 exercises!, I don't think that we are lazy or procrastinating. I'd like to believe..... smart! We won't be asked to do all of them in one day anyway. If we try to record them all in one or even two days, it doesn't seem accurate. My...

wow, you have a lot of DVDs! How do you decide what to do, or do you just put them on a certain rotation? Which are your favorites?
