Hi Cathe,
Looking forward to the new workouts! I know Atlanta is one of the original cities you announced for your Eggland's Best Roadtrip. Do you know an approximate time frame (2011 or 2012) that you will be planning on coming here? Curious minds want to know
Thanks
I am SOOOO so so excited that you are coming to Atlanta!! My in-laws live there, and I told my husband we are all roadtripping when you set the date!!! I have no idea how you find the time to choreograph, film, develop fitness products, create rotations, teach, travel, visit with us online and be a mommy, but it's inspiring. And it is appreciated. Can't wait to meet you in Atlanta!!

Hi Kim! I usually keep my step moves more basic for the first 20 minutes to get a feel for the participants. Each road trip is different and some groups are more interested in step than others. So if I see a group is really into step I will start to add in some mambo's, chacha's triple steps around the corner, pony's corner to corner. shuffle down the board, etc. If they are not as into step choreography I will stay more basic with dynamic outer thigh moves and outer thigh around the world, and hop turns, repeaters , etc. No matter what, he needs not to worry, we have so many workouts that whole weekend that if step doesn't fully click with him he will surely get his game face on in another workout
Thanks Cathe. My husband is not too worried about it. He said he can always sit that one out. I also told him to just modify. He liked that. He may be "modifying" that whole class. We are both really excited for the trip. We are driiving from Minnesota.

Hello Krista! It is fine to use either one of those on your recovery week but please no more than one for the week (as opposed to the 3 to 4 you mentioned). More than that would be defeating the purpose of your recovery week. You want to enter the next Meso with a well rested mind and body.
In order to rid yourself of subcutaneous fat over the muscle, you need to really focus on your diet. Eat as clean as possible and drink about 1/2 to 3/4ths of a gallon of water a day. In one week (but eapecially two) you will see a huge difference making this change.
Good Luck!

Congratulations to you Sarah!!! Hugs to your precious angel baby. I remember my first one and being with him every moment of the day at that age. Always playing, tickling, staring at him and just amazed at this little being that I created and brought into this world. I'm sure you are in that exact place right now. Enjoy every moment!

Aw, thanks so much for those special words Deb. So happy to have you join us for a few minutes but so sad to hear of your funeral tonight. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Your warmth and friendship is precious!

Hi Ivy! I personally always like to have just one day off to let the body rest, but as long as your weekly workouts are a mixed variety of intensity and on your 7th day you still feel energized and strong, go ahead and enjoy a seventh day. Also, no need to view your workout regime as a weekly effort (although this is most common). You could make your workout program span out over 8, 9, or 10 days before taking a day off if that works for you. For example you may want to do a 4 day weight split alternated with a 4 days of cardio before you take a rest day. Or on the flip side you might be so sore from a gicen workout that you can't even focus on giving a good performance the next day. In that case, you might want to consider making that ultra sore day your rest day. The key is listening to your body. If your body is screaming for rest, or you are seriously lacking energy, or if your sick, or on your cycle, etc., if your body isn't feeling it for some reason, regardless if its your rest day or not, consider making that day a rest day.

What a neat question Morningstar! Personally I'm really fine with it. Maybe when I was younger and just starting out those things affected me on a more personal level but over the many years you really just develop a sense of what is a real or valid criticism vs what is contrived or simply put out there to be mean spirited and hurtful. In the latter case, the intent jumps out to me so obviously and I feel that the poster actually does more damage to themselves vs me with their obnoxious post (and of coure when this occurs I remove it because I don't support rude and mean spirited behavior on our forums).
There will always be critics out there, it comes with the territory. And the bigger you are, or become, the louder the critics become. I understand and accept that. At the end of the day, what matters (besides my family of course) is that I am happy with who I am, happy with what I have put out there and happy with what I keep putting out there.
Thanks for your support Morningstar
