    Not everyone is 5'2" - or physics matters.

    Cathe - just one thought/consideration for the new workouts. I LOVE, LOVE Xtrain and LIS, but I noticed on several workouts, you move rather quickly through some of the moves. I know I can do the moves but really struggle to keep your pace. Then I realized -- I'm 5'8". It is not physically...

    So, I know there are at least some people out here who take Deva vitamins. What do you think of them? Which items should I consider using? Are there other veg/vegan brands I should consider. I've been taking GNC vitamins for decades, but it occured to me they all have gelatin, which as a...

    Love the music in Burn Sets!

    No question, just stating how much I love the music in Burn Sets. As a child of the 70's and 80's, it was so fun to here: INXS, Depeche Mode, Van Halen, etc. I even heard what sounded similar to music from the movie Sixteen Candles. So fun and motivating!!!
