Yahoo! Looking forward to it!

I've had mine dip into the 30s when I was doing a lo t of endurance training (and I only knew because Hubby and kids and I went to a Science museum where you'd hold a sensor and a drum would play with each heart beat. He was "doof,doof, doof!" and I was...

Hi Jen, Only way to diagnose a SLAP tear is MRI - or maybe ultrasound if it's really bad. The best way to have a cortisone shot is Ultrasound Guided - this way the technician can see the needle and can guide it to exactly the right spot. You'll get instant relief from the pain, but be...

Online Training Hi Wendy, I do online training - I'm actually in the process of revamping my coaching program and will relaunch in January. All of the coaching I do is tailored individually. If you use workout DVDs (such as Cathe) I can fit those into your program as well. I only take...

As an instructor... Depends... I teach 5 classes a week, 4 RPM and 1 step (which I make dancy) - I absolutely loathe people chattering to each other in my class during a workout - it's distracting!. In RPM I do love it when my participants grunt and encourage each other - I have a class where...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to thank everyone who helped with me with the Inspire.org project I posted about over the past few days. Shelley (www.othersideshelley.blogspot.com) and I (www.girlgetsitdone.blogspot.com) have just donated $100.00 to the Inspire Foundation here in Oz, thanks to...

Thanks guys! I just want you to know how much your gestures are appreciated :) Hugs Liz N

Hi Everyone, I have been a member on this forum forever, but don't post much. However, I was wondering if there were any forum members that could help me out. Here's the background: My friend Shelley has been through a lot of upheaval in the last year. She keeps a blog called...

I lost 75lb and competed in a Figure Comp and Cathe was one of my staples as I didn't always have gym access. Everytime I pull out Hardcore Extreme I have a grin from ear to ear. Liz N

My answer is : It depends: If you're carrying a large % bodyfat and trying to lean down, it's entirely possible to make muscle gains during the process. It's another story when you're down around the 15-16% mark and you're prepping for a bodybuilding comp - the goal being to maintain as...

Thanks Joan, I pmed you back :) Hugs Liz N

I forgot to order mine (silly me) - was wondering if anyone didn't want theirs - if not can you PM me - will pay costs + postage . Thanks a million! Liz N

Hi Cathe and SNM, Just wondered if you were doing a calendar next year - I have loved the previous two and planning ahead for next year :) Cheers Liz n

I'm really looking forward to hearing about all the Road Trips too - just a favour to ask - when you post the photos can you put everyone's names on them so I can match a face with a name. Really glad to hear everyone had such a great time. Liz N

Hi Mandy, I had an abdominoplasty on the 18th April. I am 12 weeks post op and have just returned to teaching RPM classes. No weights as yet as I have a possible labral tear in my shoulder. Don't even think of doing any exercise other than gentle walking for about six weeks. Your...

I've used Lowmax a couple of different ways. 1) As it comes is very effective -really focus on driving through the glutes and always initiate your movements from the glutes. Keep shoulders upright (ie don't tip forward) 2) Annette Aquajock's addition of a 5lb medicine ball for the blasts is...

Dear Cathe, Just to show everyone how effective your DVDs are - my client, Michelle, in the green, trained at home exclusively and for some of her training we used 4 Day Split, Bodymax 2 and Low Max. Michelle's target area was her legs and doing the Scrambled eggs Bodymax Premix and one of...

I have to agree with Janie. I don't think you're eating enough - if you're going to be a fit, strong healthy chick, you have to eat :) Bump those cals up with lots of the good stuff, lean protein, veggies, fruits etc and give the processed crap a miss. All the best, Liz N

Dear Piano Ann, It is possible to do crunches after your diastasis has healed but if you have a diastasis it is wise to avoid crunches, especially oblique work (as this just makes a diastasis worse) post partum. The best plan of attack would be to consult with a physical therapist that...
