You can read their bios by going to the home page and finding the behind the scenes link on the left of the page. then click on say, the intensity series, then on meet the crew. Most list their ages, and some their heights.

I'm only doing S&H legs/shoulders once a week, and I'm running 3 times a week in between the 3 S&H workouts. The deadlifts are in with the back work (I missed them too when I first did the legs W/O, so was happy to find them with chest/back). I'm lifting as much as I can safely get over my...

Hi Lynne. I believe my hamstrings are genetically tough to firm!! At 38, I am finally seeing some muscle definition back there with the slow and heavy series- I'm in my third week of a 4 week cycle with it. I'm so impressed with the results from S&H that I'm not wanting to move on to my...

RE: Putting on my NFP instructor's hat I saw a thin dark line where the gum meets the tooth on her front left medial incisor ( she slept on her left as she nursed to sleep), so I took her to the pediatric dentist. Before I did the cold turkey thing(the same day I'd seen the tooth decay) I had...

RE: Putting on my NFP instructor's hat I weaned my daughter at 14 months, and it really was much easier on both of us than I had imagined it would be. I was like you, fearing that she'd feel saddened, angry, or worst of all- hurt and rejected by the weaning, but it only took 2 nights of crying...

You may already do these, but just in case: Eating 5or 6 smaller meals rather than 3 larger ones; Zig-zagging calories- If you eat, say 1800 calories a day, your week might look like this: Mon: 1600 cal.'s Tues: 2000 Wed: 1300 Th: 2300 Fri: 1600 Sat: 2000 Sun: 1800 So...

Hi. I'm not Cathe either, but some Cathe-ites on this site liked a video on this site: www.progressiveparent.com I haven't tried it (I'm not pregnant, but hope to be soon!), but it looks advanced. You can watch a clip, and the woman who made it is a former acrobat form Circe-de-sole (sp)...

Hi Tammy. Yeah, it is the site I'm not happy with( my deltoid area). My hubby has a job that requires us to attend lots of formals, and it is really hard to find formal dresses with sleaves. Plus, I hate covering up my arms because they are probably my best body part. The plastic surgeon...

Hi everyone. I have a tatoo that I got years ago (after my divorce). I've had 5 laser treatments to get rid of it, but all they did was fade it some. Has anyone had a good, or bad, experience with these treatments? I'm wondering if I should give up, or keep forking out the dough! Thanks for...

I've read that SUPER SLOW is not so beneficial, but I just got the slow and heavy series DVD, and on Legs and Shoulders at least (the only one I've done so far), the count is 2 and 6, very different from the 5 and 10 in the article you read. I've read on this site that a lot of people have...

Thanks for the response, and ecouragement. I've decided to give it a try. As suspected, my calories are currently too low (I've been working out in the morning, and then slumming around most of the day due to way low energy for the last 2 weeks or so). I hope it woks because I just want a...

Congratulations, Rhonda. It sounds like you are on your way!! Please keep us posted, and good luck on the next tests! Sheila

I'm thinking of starting PT, too. I've just reached my goal weight using Leanness Lifestyle, but my caloric intake is so low that I can't imagine doing this as a lifestyle, and I still don't have the muscle definition that I expected to have by now. Slow and Heavy just came in the mail...

"Exercising Through Your Pregnancy" by James F. Clapp, M.D. is a must have for the more seriously active pregnant woman. Good Luck!

You do need to discuss your workouts with your physician. I also recommend the book, "Exercising Through Your Pregnancy" by James F. Clapp, M.D. . If your local bookstore doesn't have it, you can get it through Amazon.com. There is a lot that you can do with your doctor's clearance, and the...
