    Pretty sure I just wasted 2 yrs of my life in nursing..

    Hi, I have to say I totally understand what you mean about Nursing. I'm 34 and have been doing it for 7 years now and never once liked it. But it pays for stuff. I mean, REALLY don't like it. But i like that I don't have too worry too much about the bills. I have switched from ER...

    Runner's Check-in Sun 4-23

    Hi, Just wanted to jump in and say that that lake looks gorgeous! I wish we had something like that. I started running outside last week and just can't believe how much fun it is compared to being stuck on a TM.Or how much harder! I'm back to doing run:walks and am only doing 3:1s. The other...

    I just recieved P90X

    It's a well designed rotation. I like the GYM basement style...the pace and rep options. Music is OK. You don't have to do pull ups. You can modify anything. I was impressed at how it was produced and packaged. It's not like some CRUNCH video or like P90 or Slim Series. My arms looked good when...

    P90X Shoulders and Arms

    I like S&A and Back and Biceps the most. The series is really impressive. I like the production quality, the fact that he lets you chose how many reps and the basement gym look. I have to agree that the leg work isn't as heavy as upper body. But if it's used in the rotation the way it was...

    Finally getting Glutes

    I'm always struggling to get my lower body bigger and the past month my focus has shifted to doing total body workouts instaed of splits. Mostly because I skipped leg day in favor of cardio. Did lots of Firm workouts and Push and Pull. Today while on the treadmill I realized...I actually have...

    Cathe (or educated crowd) need one more inch off hips

    Run. Nothing gets rid of bulges faster than running for me. I literally can see those horrid little lovehandles start to disappear when I increase mileage. Better yet for the butt is walking on an incline on a treadmill. Plus some legpress/step ups and squats.

    P90X

    I like S&A a lot. But that whole series rocks. This time around though I plan on subbing Cathe's Leg work or the Firm. My legs need more help than Beach Body. But another really good upper body workout is P90X Back and Biceps...I'm inlove with that one the most. Saw the most changes in my arms...

    Slow &Heavy Upper vs Gym Style Biceps,Shoulders..

    Is there enough Back work in GYM Style? I found the PS series had much more Chest v. Back work. Is it properly balanced? If you don't use bands do they show substitute moves?

    Interval Run

    My favorite is warm up 5 mph @ 12 minutes 6 mph x 1 minute 5-5.5 mph x 2 minute recovery repeat x 6 easy 10 minutes @ 5 mph ---------------- 40 minutes

    Power Hour

    I love the music in PH. Particularly the back portion. The leg work totally kills me. Has anyone counted how many squats in total are in there? How about the lunges?

    Cathe, could you suggest a rotation?

    Hi, I was wondering if you could suggest a rotation aimed at decreasing the upper body size and increasing the lower body? I gain weight mostly in my torso and belly and have skinny legs. I have 1. PS series ( which I love )2. CTX 3. S&H 4. PH 5. most of the Blast series 6. Intensity series...
