    Rave: Bob Harper

    Found this today at Target..had to buy it. Tried the Body Rev Cardio..I didn't preview first, so I only made it through 18 mins since I did a kettlebell workout prior and the Body Rev Cardio has a lot of movements from kettlebells (swings but all the exercisers are using DBs). I mimicked the...

    Wheat free/lower carb--any success?

    Thank you! I'm starting to think I may limit bread to lunch (and start making meals at home, so it's more of a homemade portion) and rely on beans to be the heartier bit of my dinner...there's a crockpot stew. I was eating rice and eggs for breakfast...thinking of using black beans instead or a...

    Wheat free/lower carb--any success?

    Wellll..I'm about 138/139 at the moment and coming off a bout of being very sedentary (3000-6000 steps/day)...let school get in the way of my workouts. Now that it's summer, I'm back into the swing of things with working out..videos and going on 4 mile walks. I enjoy a lot of different workouts...

    Wheat free/lower carb--any success?

    GraceNote, Thanks for the feedback! I looked up the TLS program briefly, it looks interesting..I will have to look into that more..I noticed the attention on low glycemic foods...that is sort of the angle that I am looking to attack by going lower carb. I do better with higher protein meals and...

    Wheat free/lower carb--any success?

    Just got through watching the Dr. Oz episode with the Wheat Belly author. Has anyone had any success trying to go wheat free or lower carb? Any suggestions for bread alternatives..something to make sandwiches with? I tried making an almond flour bread and it came out so dense and dry (didn't...

    A "good" blow dryer?

    I just got the BaByliss hooded dryer that comes on a stand...would recommend it to those with curly hair like me. I use the medium setting and it feels gentle/not too hot. The plastic controls seem a little flimsy but for $80 and the type of dryer I think it is a deal.

    Online retailer for supplements/health food?

    Hi everyone-- Does anyone have anywhere online (with comparable prices) that you buy supplements or health food items (spices, rice, oils) that you haven't been able to find in your local store? I have used Amazon for some things but have wound up overpaying for items. Thanks all!

    about to finish meso 1

    I was extremely sore after the first leg workout (like hobbling around), but I had just returned to exercising in general. I've been sore each time the workout routine changes but not in so much between...for example, in Meso 1, I had never gotten DOMS in my chest..but in Meso 2 when she adds in...

    HIIT back to back?

    I've heard the sessions are short so you can give it 100% and go all out. If you did two back to back, the second half would probably be more of a regular interval workout because you wouldn't be able to sustain the very high intensity from the first half. Not sure if it would be detrimental...

    Overtraining?

    I think it would be fine to add some more leg work also...but I wouldn't re-do the same STS disc or anything that is similar (primarily squats, lunges, deadlifts); not because I think it would be detrimental but I just think there is enough of that (for me, anyways) as is. I'm on week 4 of Meso...

    Any Cathlete out there who has tried Jillian Michaels

    Banish Fat Boost Metabolism kicked my butt when I tried it for the first time the other day. It must be one of her longer workouts..I think the bulk of the workout is 40 minutes but there is also a warm-up and cool down. I took her advanced modifications where possible and burned 420 cals..which...

    Should I get Squat Rack dvd?

    Don't have any comment on the DVDs themselves..I own them but haven't used them yet and plan to do plyo legs for now. But, I would second the idea that you need real squat rack...one that has a safety catch/rest where you can set the barbell on at the bottom in case you accidentally go too...

    One day closer

    I am looking forward to them too. I think I will finish my STS rotation then see if Cathe posts a rotation to go with the full series so I can enjoy them as a set. I still have a little over a month left with STS though so it's going to take a lot of self control to not open the box and start...

    STS and Cardio

    I have a similar meal for breakfast sometimes and I find I am hungry again pretty soon..the carbs in the bread and fruit spread just don't stick that long. I'm vegetarian so I find myself eating small meals often for that reason. I think adding some additional protein to your pre-w/o meal would...

    toning sneakers

    I have some MBTs..but I haven't been wearing them lately. They did make walking uphill more of a challenge..the rest of the time I didn't really feel them. I didn't notice any big difference in leg tone..I am pear though so it takes a lot to make a difference, lol. You get used to walking in...

    STS and Cardio

    If I do any cardio on an STS day, I do the cardio first...and mostly shorter workouts of moderate intensity. I do that more for psychological benefit; if I put my cardio w/o first I know I will still do STS, the other way around..not so much. ;) I don't usually pair any cardio w/ the leg...

    Beginner question about weights.....

    Just wanted to add that the 1.25's aren't rubber coated but they are still so useful. How are you liking your rotation? I am definitely in a rotation mindset right now..when the Low Impact Series gets delivered, I think I may wait to finish STS so I can do all of the DVDs as a rotation.
