    Steady state cardio ideas

    I have got to mix it up a bit. I need some steady-state cardio ideas. The biggest issue is that I can't run and must be at home in my workout room. So far I've come up with adding in some spinning (putting my road bike on the trainer). I like the idea of zumba-like cardio but am not...

    Pulled/strained a muscle in my toosh

    Has anyone done the same thing? I think it was too many lunges too soon. How long until you were healed and could get back to workouts & did you do anything in particular, like stretching? (I suspect my IT band is involved (not sure how but the trainer will tell me, I'm sure), since I...

    Does Insanity download include the premixes?

    I thought with other workouts the premixes weren't included but the way the write-up for Insanity reads, it looks like the premixes are included. Please advise before I download. Thank you! Sue

    Even with new update, audio isn't sync'd with video

    I'm only working with Step Blast at this point (it's the one that I'm using as my project). I've created two projects: one workout with the blasts and one with only blasts. Both projects start with the audio okay but then somewhere along the way become un-sync'd (not even sure how to type...

    Step Blast hiccup

    First, thank you for this fantastic product (WB)! Second, I wasn't sure if this should go in bugs, so I will post here and let you decide. I used Step Blast as my test and removed the blasts to make what I labeled as Step Blast Basic. When I play it in the preview it keeps starting at...

    GAINING weight

    At the beginning of the March I slowly started back with kettlebells. During that time (while working on form) I was doing Cathe's 4DS and then some of the cardio workouts from Shock Cardio. My diet hasn't changed (and yes, a food journal is how I know). I am struggling with getting my daily...

    Kettlebell users...input please (want a new workout)

    I'm bored with my current workouts. I have both of Laura's workouts and have AOS Clinic. I was thinking about getting an AOS downloadable workout. I like it because it's a tad cheaper than the dvd price (still overpriced but that's jmnsho). I'm considering AOS Providence (NOT vintage) or...

    Art of Strength's Providence dvd

    What am I missing? $50 for one 50 minute workout! Seriously? I mean, I have kb clinic and forked over the money for that but geez...having hard time swallowing this one. Am I not understanding something? TIA!

    AOS dvds (Kettlebells)

    I have the clinic dvd. I also have Lauren Brookes dvd and LOVE it. I like how Lauren's is a follow along similar to Cathe. The AOS clinic dvd shows you the moves then says to repeat 3-5 times. Are all of the AOS dvds this way? Specifically looking at Providence next (I think). Thanks for...

    Magnetic Cat Door Question

    I usually only post workout questions here but I need some help and needed access to as wide a grouping as possible. Let me see if I can explain what I want to do. We have a special needs kitty and a new kitten. We want to build a box to put the kitten's food in with access by a cat door...

    Gaining weight but not body fat percentage?

    A few days ago I posted about gaining weight. I realized this morning that I haven't increased body fat according to my scale. Is my understanding of this that I haven't gained fat a correct one? Unfortunately, I'm not losing inches which is frustrating (but may also be due, for some...

    Feel my pain? You cyclists will get a laugh!

    Yesterday I did Imax2 all the way through. I haven't done it through because I usually only have time for half (and I think I had so psyched myself out about how hard it is). Feeling very proud of myself and my workout consistency this week, I thought I'd try to get a bike ride in today...

    Gaining weight (not a good thing)

    For two weeks I've been working on workout consistency (was working out prior to that but not being consistent...I'd get four days and then have life jump in). I'm doing kettlebells 3 x per week and some form of cardio (usually from Shock Cardio or 4DS) 2 x per week. I've gained 5 lbs. No, I...

    Kettlebell form--analysis paralysis

    I learned my kb form from AOS/Anthony DiLuglio. I've been to a class with an RKC instructor and so far so good (not saying much because I only did the swing for the whole class). I bought a book of workouts by an RKC instructor and this is where I got stuck...sort of. The workout that I was...

    KB

    Do you do kb everyday? I know from looking at the AOS workbook that there are light days and heavy days. I was looking at doing kb three days per week and kickbox (mainly)/cardio on the other three days. Input?

    KB Workout Book

    I've been looking for a book with KB workouts and I came across this (besides the AOS book). It's available in ebook too...thought I'd share it. http://www.flexcart.com/members/elitefts/default.asp?m=PD&cid=370&pid=3159

    KB Trainer Question

    I went to a kb class, given by an RKC certified instructor. I did kb last year for a little while but moved back to traditional workouts for the second half of last year. I decided to start back up with kb about a month ago. All that to say, I have only just started back up and aren't doing...

    Kettlebell Workout Question

    I'm trying to figure out how to create my own kb workouts. How do I know what move works what body part? (I realize kb are total body workouts but I'm trying to figure out if there are moves that you just don't put together, etc.) Thanks!

    Input regarding knee

    I have finally gotten back into the swing of daily workouts. I jumped back in with 4DS and then started learning the new Shock Cardio workouts. I think I jumped too hard too soon. My right knee is really bothering me. I'm icing and taking motrin. I've also taken yesterday off and will do...

    Knee DVD?

    I saw this discussed here a while back and thought I marked it but can't find it. It was basically rehab exercises and I desperately need it! Thanks! Sue <><
