    Back Pain and Workouts

    I'm another huge fan of the book "Pain Free" by Pete Egoscue. I've had neck/arm issues that caused a badly pinched nerve. This book has been a Godsend. He has other books that I have not read about the same method. "Pain Free for Women" and "Pain Free at Your PC" (sounds great for office...

    Important questions on Hardcore

    I'd also like to ask some questions. 1. I'm curious as to the approximate length of the weight workouts. 2. Are the exercises going to be slower and more intense than the Slow and Heavy series?

    Step-ups vs. Lunges

    Another way to help yourself with balance on a lunge is to support your back foot (heel) against a wall.

    Super Slow Workout

    I would LOVE to see a workout like this too. In fact I posted about it about a month ago. I have been doing this type of training for 5 weeks now and I love it but I do see a problem with following a video and using free weights. When you fatigue, it's hard to control your weights and that...

    Smoothie King Low Carb Smoothies

    I've never heard of Smoothie King but thanks mucho for the warning. We have a couple of other diabetics on a low-carb forum I visit and they test low-carb products for us. I personally stick to all natural foods and indulge in a commercial low-carb snack once in a blue moon but avoid the ones...

    Hey, anybody ever done Circuit Max like this..............

    Great idea for Circuit Max for an intense short workout. As an (almost) 5 year veteran Atkins' dieter, there is nothing better than having support from a spouse and I think it's wonderful you're doing it with him. I recommend though you 1. eat more food and 2. Don't stop with Induction and...

    There's an exercise from the Firm Volumes 3 and 5 that target this area. On your hands and knees in table position, put a dumbell in the crook of the back of your knee and fold your leg to hold it. lift and lower the weighted leg. Another variation of this exercise is to angle your knee...

    Negative effects of Atkins Diet? Articles?

    Quoted from above..."The latest news on Atkins is that the Atkins organization is suggesting that Atkins followers limit saturated fat to 30% or less of calories. U.S. dietary guideliness suggest a max of 5% saturated fat with total fat limited to 30% of calories. This is apparently a...

    what kind of weighted vest?

    I just purchased an adjustable women's 45 lb. weighted vest from this site. http://www.weightvest.com/ It looks like a much more comfortable design than the pup tent All-Pro vest. After adding the shipping in for the All-Pro vest, they're approximately the same price. I looked all over...

    Push-ups???

    What Kathryn said. :) The push-up works the entire upper body and not the chest exclusively like the pec fly does. Your chest muscles are bigger and stronger than your arms so your arms will fatigue first in a push-up.

    Videos limit you???

    I am in the same boat. While Cathe's videos are the best weight training workouts on the video market they only take you so far. My goal for 2004 is to be stronger in less workout time. That's why I've started the Slow Burn method of weight trainint. I don't want to go to a gym so I'm trying...

    Slow and Heavy 2

    I've just started the Slow Burn training method (10 count postitive and 10 count negative movements) and really love this way of working out. It hits deep muscle fibers you just don't get from a fast high rep workout...not even Cathe's Slow and Heavy series. It also takes up less workout time...
