I just "rediscovered" Pyramid Upper Body 1. would love to do a "2!"

I've been doing Cathe's workouts for a long time now... since VHS days. I'm delighted that she's come out with an intermediate level series. I did the Lower Body Blast this morning, and in the words of Goldilocks, this was "just right" for me. I was challenged, yet so appreciated the little...

I've noticed that on a few of my newest fitness dvds the full sit up is back! I felt like this move was a no-no for so long... hence the "crunch." Why the change in view I wonder? Just pondering...

Is anyone going to this conference? I would love to go... maybe I can talk my family into it. http://www.takingactionforanimals.com/

I found a site that has alot of different weight training workouts by single muscle groups, splits, and other approaches. For each workout, it lists exercise, sets, and reps suggested for each muscle & group. I printed out a couple. Here's the url if you want to check it...

I just downloaded the 1st set of iTRAIN strength, but haven't tried it yet. Has anyone done any of the these? Curious about the rest of the strength series, too.

I love this workout! It is truly unlike any other workout I've done. The "core energizer" section had me working so hard, I was sweating like crazy. I'm sure I'll really feel this in my core and lats tomorrow. Has anyone tried any of her other workouts?

My DH just showed me this... a truly awesome show of nature. If you have a few minutes to watch this, do! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM&NR=1

So my DDs and I went down into the city yesterday (NYC), and could not get a cab, because it was rush hour. So we decided, what the heck, and took a pedicab. It was like being on some crazy, carnival ride! So fun! He was going so fast, and zipping around traffic... even the carriage horses...

.... she charge? She's watching 3 kids, the youngest is a pre-schooler. I was thinking in the $8 - 10 range. BTW, we're in the NYC suburbs.

Now that it's starting to get warm, I'm wondering if I should give me pomeranian a major haircut. I read conflicting things about this: some groomers say the double coat is an insulator, protecting them from the heat. Others say it's like wearing a big fur coat in the summertime. He loves to...

I've been doing some research about is it better to do cardio first or weights first (btw, there seems to be no definites about this). Then I read an article about the benefits of having approx. 8 or so hours between both. So, say you do 1/2 hour of weights in the a.m., then you follow up with...

So I've been doing circuits/straight cardio for the past week... and plan to give it a couple more weeks to kinda "shock" my body (imax 2 and imax 3 within the past five days, plus drill max, man is it shocked). Anyway, does anyone have any good circuit recommendations, either Cathe premixes or...

I'm a little worried about a friend. She's very thin, and I can't tell if she's just very serious about eating clean, or if her seriousness has become an obsession that's bordering on an eating disorder. We went out Sat nite, and she ordered her salad w/no dressing and salmon plain... no big...

Is anyone planning a specific rotation to lean out before starting STS? I was thinking of dropping the splits (which I've been doing for a couple months now)... and switching to circuits/upping the cardio to get a little leaner before STS. (BTW, I did RS last night, the whole thing including...

Okay, twice this week, I've gotten out of bed in the middle of the night, and started walking out of the bedroom. The first time, I realized it when my DH yelled out, "What are you doing?" Last night, I woke up as I was walking out the door. It was around 2:30 a.m. Is this sleepwalking, do...

Has anyone seen this show? I watched it today w/my 13-yr-old DD. We both felt like we were watching bad stereotypes come to life. Please don't think all NYers are like this. They're not!!!!

I'm so close to eating every sweet thing I can find in the house. My DH brought home a box of my favorite chocolates from Zurich last night, and I didn't eat one, wanting to wait until Friday night. Now, I'm, well, you get the picture. I'm trying to remain in control.

Just wondering if anyone knows what kind of cool-looking gloves Cathe and the gang are wearing in the workout pix on the blog? I want them!

Well, I haven't taken a real rest period from working out in well over a year. So this week, I got a stomach bug, and haven't done a real workout (besides a short walk with the dogs) in days. It feels so weird... and like there's this void in my life!! I'm wondering how my body's going to...
