Hi- I am a huge fan of 6 day splits!! This is the way I normally train as my standard way for weight work and have been for years. For me, I love being able to only focus on one bodypart/day and completely exhausting it. The downside is that you have to commit to 6 days of strength...

Hi-- Another fellow insomniac here... I know where you are coming from and I feel for ya!!! I still haven't figured out the perfect answer, but I do notice that when I'm not eating many carbs and I'm on a caloric deficit, I don't sleep as well. I've tried several prescription, natural...

Hi- I started doing Insanity workouts back in December... And, I only do 1 or 2 Insanity workouts a week, am not following a specific rotation. ( I like to run and do other things for cardio as well as lift weights pretty intensely.) With just doing 1 or 2 Insanity workouts per week, I've...

Hi- Has anybody ever used this site to order their protein powders for shakes? I just heard about it.. Basically you can go on and make your own custom formula protein powder or buy a preblended one. The choices are limitless and frankly I don't even know where to start!, but I think I'm...

Hi - I have them too!! Just got them a few weeks ago and they're great. I used to always buy Nike Shox shoes ( the TL4s) and then they were discontinued. These are as good as those, about 50.00 cheaper!! Lynn M.

Fun thread!!! I'm a sucker for a good "in love" and also a good "out of love" song.. In fact , I even have a playlist of them on my Mp3 player. The first ones that come to mind, but I could list a million are "Something" by the Beatles for an "in love" song. For an angsty "out of love" song...

Hi Corrie- I'm not a PT, but one site that I love and its free is www.bodybuilding.com Its got a whole section on how to perform exercises for each bodypart. While alot of the site is dedicated to people who are really hardcore bodybuilders, there is a ton of info there and the exercises...

Hi- I usually workout 6 days/week. On a typical day, I get up early and do around 40 minutes of some sort of cardio. Then at lunchtime I go to the gym and lift..usually its one bodypart/day, heavy weights and low reps. If I took out the socializing part of my gym visit, I can typically...

Hi Lori- I think alot of what you are seeing when you say all 4 muscles is mostly increased defiinition in the front of the quads? I think the front of the quads is the toughest part ( well for me anyways, and I'm a pear) to develop. Can your knees handle full leg extensions on a machine...

Hi Sandra- I did a couple about 5 years ago.. a sprint and an olympic. I trained with a group which was a really fun way to do it! Tris are great in that the training is so much less impactful on your body than training for a running marathon. Most people feel that the swim is the most...

Its funny you mentioned that.. I just got a new one and I purposely got a hideous purple color for that exact same reason! I also have funny luggage tags on my stuff too.. one of them says, "Does this bag make my butt look big?" I can always tell when my bag is coming around the carousel, bec...

Hi- I travel alot too and have purchased luggage from Marshalls. One thing to consider too is not to buy TOO big of a suitcase if you plan on using it for air travel. ( With the weight restrictions being less than 50 lbs for most airlines, you will have to pay additional fees if you go over...

1) what cardio activity do you like the most?... for fat burning, running. For fun, Kickboxing 2) how frequently and how long do you do cardio? 5-6x/week.. usually around 40 minutes 3) how much do you do to a) lose weight and b) maintain.. To lose weight, I rely more on diet than cardio...

Hi- I've heard not to use any type of fabric softener. Apparently, it "gunks" up the fibers so the odors and dirt are more difficult to rinse out. Not sure how true that really is, but I have been doing my workout clothes load w/out fabric softener and I've not noticed any odor issues...

Mine is the Leg Blast premix on Butts and Guts... I have a big dread factor, but I LOVE the results! Lynn M.

Hi All- For those of you who do both Hiit training and steady state, which type of workout seems to make you feel less drained post workout during the rest of the day? Or, have you even noticed a difference? I've been incorporating 2 Hiit workouts ( either Insanity or STS Cardio) a week...

Hi- I only like to warm up for a few minutes, anything over 5 and I start getting antsy. If I'm doing a workout that has a long warmup/stretch at the beginning, I do my own thing during that time or fast forward. If I'm sore or tight ( esp. in my legs) I will stretch at the beginning for a...

Hi - My 8 yr old son has been watching it since it started.. I'm OK w/ it but we watch it together and when Sam is being rude/inconsiderate or they make adults look like idiots ( which seems to be a theme on the show) we talk about it. So, at least its a lesson on how NOT to act! :) Not...

Hi- I've cleaned up my diet over the last 18 months ( I fall off the wagon quite a bit) but overall it has much improved. For me other than losing wt ( about 12 lbs) I've noticed I have more focus and clarity mentally. I also don't feel as high and low mood wise when I'm eating right. And...

Hi Jacmar- Yes, if you have the budget for it. I purchased P90x when it first came out and like the previous posters had a hard time following the rotation for 12 weeks.. I love the upper body work in P90x, but the cardio and leg workouts were lacking ( imho.). I got amazing results in my...
