    The stepping learning curve

    I find previewing (once before and then once after I've tried the workout to go over any tricky moves) helps me a lot. But sometimes (even after several years of stepping) I just don't get a move. In that case I just keep moving! I figure that it's not a dance class, the point is to keep my...

    Cars

    I just bought a Subaru Forester after lots of Subaru recommendations. Now, I know why. What a super car and the price was great. $20,000 out the door with 0% financing. How can you beat that? And I agree the car is really nicely equipped and feels like it's glued to the road. It's the nicest car...

    Maybe some recovery workouts, Cathe??

    Cathe - I am so sorry to read about your injury and wish you a speedy recovery. I have been dealing with tendinitis from running for the last year and have had to really curtail the intensity of my cardio to keep the swelling down. (And yes I did go through physical therapy.)I seem to need...

    Am I being petty?

    I'm just wondering where one would draw the line on what is acceptable. Do we accept tooth whitening or lip plumping for example and not breast enhancement? Personally I don't care one way or the other, particularly with breast enlargement because it's obvious that you can't increase breast size...

    I just ordered from Active You :-)

    I'm wondering if the pants come in different lengths. I know that Cathe and Brenda are @5'2" and the lengths look good on them. I wonder if they had them shortened?

    Clothing sizes

    I know, I find sizing so aggravating. I wear 2,4 or 6...sometimes petite, sometimes regular. I particularly find the new wider cut in the leg and rear-end pants to be impossible - I look like I'm wearing jodhpurs! One brand that I have found to fit well and is cut in a narrower way is Sigrid...

    Ran 3.5 miles!

    Way to go Melissa!!!! I too noticed a big difference in my legs (particularly the inner thighs)after about a month or so of running. I usually run three times per week ( 4 miles twice and 6-8 miles once) I've found that if I run 6 miles three times a week, I'm too tired to work out with weights...

    HELP! Anyone doing Physique Transformation?

    Thanks for all of the information, Allison! I joined 5 days ago and am still in the preliminary phase. I fooled around with the computer for the first couple of days and found that I already eat 2200!!! WAY more than I thought! I've actually lost 1/2 lb (but that could be just a fluctuation). I...

    question for physique transformation fans

    I'm intirgues too, but I'm wondering about cardio. Did I read that there is no cardio for the first phase? I'm a runner - I know that I couldn't give that up. Would that make it impossible for me to do this program? TIA!!!

    Marlene123's Tank Top Arms Rotation

    I also loved this rotation. It really popped my delts and defined my biceps & triceps. I substituted Power Hour for the one hour full body day.

    P90X Yoga

    I have to say that Yoga X has grown on me. But I totally agree with Susan, if I were subsituting, I'd use Eion's PY4H! It's a great one!
