I promised some people from the Summer blast check-in that I'd let you know how last weekend went... DH, my bro-in-law, a friend and myself did the Seattle to Portland with 8,000 other riders this past weekend (it was sold out!). It was a sea of people and bikes! There were kids (8 years...

Since I haven't posted in a few days I thought I'd open this puppy up today! Tomorrow is the big day! We're all excited...it's just gonna be fun. This week has been pretty light for me... Mon: Upper and lower body premixes from HSTA, then the cardio from HSTA, and abs from Timesaver...

Good morning everyone. Actually late morning! DH and I are about ready to hit the road, but I thought I'd get the weekend edition started since I haven't been the first to post in a while. I'll check back later. BTW, it's always comforting to know others love, crave, must have chocolate...

I asked once before about how to fit in lower body weighted work with biking/spinning, but now I've increased my biking/spinning to 3-4 days per week in prepartion for some long-distance rides and my legs get sore! Can I safely lift the day of or day after a tough ride (which they all are...are...

Hello everyone! I wanted to check-in before we left but it was CRAZY getting everything in order. We had a great time in Mexico, but it is good to be home. The boys loved it, we had some great experiences and "adventures", and fortunately the boys didn't get sick. I got a little tummy upset...

It's nearly 4pm PST and I'm the first to post! Today we had 3 baseball games and all of them got rained out, so we've just been hanging out with the grandparents for the afternoon. Tonight DH and I will spin. Question...I'm not really "feeling" my workout from yesterday (SS). I lifted as...

Wow. It's after noon PST and still no one has posted. This is a little scary to me being the first one to post! Well, I hope everyone's weekend is going well and that the spring is shooing away the cold, cough and flu stuff! It's not exactly warm here, but the sun peeks thru now and again...

I'm taking a chance that you'll catch this amid your busy week! My question is how do I balance and even categorize road biking/spinning with lower body weighted work? Right now I'm using Spinervals with my bike on a trainer at least once a week and it really fries my legs! But some weeks--in...

I know this topic has been addressed many times on the forum, but I wanted to know everyone's CURRENT shoe choices. I used to use Ryka, but a couple of years ago they seemed to be less cushiony so I switched to New Balance (can't remember the number, but they're cross-trainers that come up...

I just finished half of the "Have Mercy" Spinerval. That's all I could do! And I modified! This will definately be the spring fitness goal: to finish this DVD. I'm spent. My throat feels like dirt from huffing and puffing for an hour. But I've gotta get more of these! Obviously my bod...

Just picked up a Spinerval DVD at Performance Bike. The days are so short up here that I can't find time to ride! The title is "No Mercy". Any thoughts on good/bad, other spinning DVDs? I'm hoping this will be a good training tool to use until the days get longer. TIA, CinDee

I am just so relieved. DH gave me the green light and I ordered inside of a minute! So excited! I had to tell the people who I know would understand my excitement. I know it's just DVDs, I could stay in great shape with what I have...I'm trying to keep it all in perspective in the whole...

My weight has climbed about 7 lbs. since summer and the scale just won't budge, so I thought I'd shock the system with the SB diet and lose the pounds. However, the thought of eggs in the morning, much less for 14 MORNINGS, is just plain icky to me. I'm and oatmeal kind of girl (the...

My husband was once really into cycling and now has a renewed interest in it (yea! some exercise for him!). He wants me to ride with him, and I'm interested in taking up another activity for fun, cross-training, protecting knees (a popular subject lately here at the forums!), and to be with DH...

I would really appreciate any info on this. I've never taken a supplement before, but I'm in a terrible rut and I want to kick myself out of it. I'm revamping by diet (probably the biggest cuplrit) and increasing the cardio, but a little help would be great! An article I read stated that CLA...

I know you're busy (which I'm not complaining about! Looking forward to the new stuff!) but I was wondering if certain workouts are interchangeable. For example, are IMAX, IMAX 2, and IMAX extreme equal choices even though you listed IMAX? Is Rhythmic Step okay in place of StepFit? The only...

Hey Cathe! I have a 10 lb. med. ball (found it on sale, couldn't resist even though it's heavier than the one used in the Intensity Series) and I feel a lot of shoulder strain when using it for supine ab work. Rather than extending my arms over my head as you do, I either bend them at the...

Hey Cathe! Love the new stuff...the core work is just what I need! Well, my question is will I reap the same benefits if I fit 6 workouts into 4 or 5 days rather than 6 workouts on 6 days? For example doing a strength training video plus a cardio video either back to back or one in the am and...
