    Worst Junk Foods

    Actually chocolate doesn't have to be bad, if it's dark and if it's consumed in moderation. Dark chocolates contains bioflavinoids, the kind you find in red wine. But milk chocolate, that's another story.

    Help- my quads are so big now!!

    Hi honeybunch, I wanted to ask you why you had to reduce your walking workouts to once a month? You're absolutely right about everyone being different. For better or for worse, I tend to get muscular with minimal effort. If I could, I'd do step with Cathe tapes 3-4x a week, but...

    Help- my quads are so big now!!

    Hi LHK, Your workouts look a lot like mine now :). I think you'll be pleased with the results in no time. By the way, have you tried MIC? I enjoy it because it has a fun step segment but is balanced with very challenging hi/lo aerobics. I wish I could do step aerobics more often (because...

    Attn: Veteran Tae Bo-ers

    Hi Donna, 4 and 8 were excellent suggestions. Although neither of these two are as intense as Get Ripped 1, (IMO, on days when my energy level isn't quite up there, GR could be called get tore up :)) don't let that fool you. Videos 4 and 8 will still test your endurance, improve your kicking...

    Tae Bo~is no joke!

    Hi Robin, I'm a taebo "veteran", I've been using it since I first started my weight loss regimen. To answer your question, "Do I need Tae Bo?". I'd have to say, absolutely!! It's in a class by itself. It kicks my @$$ like nothing else and it definitely improves strength and balance. Like...

    Help- my quads are so big now!!

    Hi LHK, I think this is an excellent topic that needs to be addressed more. I don't know how many times I've read and heard that women need to stop fearing getting bulky by lifting heavier weights when this is not all true. Through trial and error I've learned that unless I want to look like...

    What next after PS series?

    Hi Katrid, I don't have the S&H series, but my understanding is that if your goal is to get toned and look leaner then sticking with high repetition and lighter (whatever that may be for you) weights is the answer. Lifting heavier weights at a slower pace is good for adding mass, say you want...

    Suggestions pls. for clean healthy snacks!

    Hi fit4life, Have you tried Optimum Flax? I use to eat Kashi too until I discovered this gem of a cereal. It's loaded with soy protein, has lots of fiber and is so good I can't believe it's healthy. They sell it at Trader Joe's for a really good price. Just thought I'd share that with you. :)

    Suggestions pls. for clean healthy snacks!

    Hi Candice, I think fit4life has it right. Don't worry about eating at night or past a random, designated hour. Losing weight boils down to a mathematical formula--you have to burn more than you consume. If you're hungry at night, chances are you haven't eaten enough. Another important...
