    I need another interval workout - I know many people love Tony Horton's upper body workouts, would you also recommend his P90X pylometric workout? Also, how - where can you buy his workouts without having to purchase the whole set?

    BFFM Diaster

    Wish I knew what I did wrong - I seem to be the only one who actually gained weight following the BFFM plan. 30% protein was killing me - I actually would wake up dreaming of choking on chicken and feel stuffed (uncomfortably) before I even started the day. I am not trying to lose weight but...

    Caffeine Trauma

    Anyone else read that having coffee (caffeine) before working out is not a good thing as it constricts full blood flow to the heart? This actually depresses me, I can't tell you how much I look forward that one cup at 4:45 before I work out. Anyone know anthing about this - really hoping...

    Strength/Endurance workouts recovery HELP please

    Please share your opinions of what is the best way to fuel your body after strength and/or endurance weight work. I have read that the sugar/carb protein mix of 4:1 is best; then I read that sugar/carb recovery drinks are great for men but not for women - that we should have juice/protein...

    Weight/Plate add - ons - what are they?

    I remember reading something here about some kind of "weights" that attach to dumbbells/plates so that you can go up a few pounds in weight. I am ready to use something heavier than 20 lbs for some exercises, but could not do 30 lbs or maybe not even 25. Would really appreciate info on...

Question to those who have done it - the day after you're supposed to do 60 minutes of a favorite cardio - is this going to be possible after...

    Imax Exteme equipment question

    Does Imax Extreme use the high step and barbell? I'm going to try this one (first time) on Friday morning and as it will be before work, I need to save all the time I can since it's a longer workout. I looked on the site but there was no specific list for that particular workout. Thank you -...

    Polar F11 Owners - Help

    Is your monitor picking up 'electro-magnetic' signals from your TV or DVD-VCR? Mine seems to be doing this as my hr sometimes reads as 120+% which is pretty impossible. Anyway, Polar technicians say it's due to above mentioned signals. Very curious if anyone else is having this problem (also...

    I'm just so excited - did Imax 3 for the third time this morning - 5AM, no less, and got the tap steps in interval one for the first time!!! What a rush, never thought I'd get them. And got that richochet move in the jumping length of step interval - had so much fun. Was scared to do this so...

    Premixes

    Is there such a thing as a list of all the Premixes available on Cathe's dvd's? And, is there anywhere you can find out how much time they are. Specifically how long is (and what is) Blastmania on IMax 2? I'm new enough to Cathe dvd's that I always forget there are premixes, would love to be...

    RE: MIS

    Thanks to everyone for your replies. I just finished a 3 week S & H rotation and am going to move to MIS for the next few weeks. My understanding is that this is strength/endurance work - hoping it will be a good choice now. I loved S&H but feel like I need a total body rotation but also don't...

    Is there any reason this workout is never mentioned? Is it a good total body strength workout?

    Did Imax 3 - 1st time - LIVED!!!

    Okay, you were all right - I could not only do Imax 3, but I know I'm going to love it. Of course, stumbled through all recovery step portions (am challenged when it comes to creatively moving); but the recovery times were just right and the blasts were killers but fun and I could do them...

    IMax 3 Question

    So, just how much harder is Imax 3 in comparison to Imax 1? I love IMax 1 & 2, though find that my heart rate stays between 88-92% during all intervals in 1; in Imax 2 it only gets up there after the first 3 or 4. But I love them both, love doing them. Thing is, I finally ordered Imax 3 -...
