Studio Sweat on Demand is excellent and you can try it for free for one week. I believe it's maybe &20/month or something like that. They also have other types of workouts with TRX/ weights etc so you could get alot of use out of it. Jamie

Yes this is maintenance for me. I guess the other thing you could do is take another look at what you're eating and any hidden sugars, proper balance of protein complex carbs healthy fats. Add some hiit cardio maybe if you can.

I find it hard to believe you would have gained fat in the 1st mesocycle and lost muscle unless you're working out in a fasted state and your body is using muscle as fuel perhaps. I'm not an expert but don't know how accurate body fat scales are or calipers. My thought is that this is water...

Hi Stacy, I feel for you as I had difficulties through peri-menopause myself. But once i cut out the added sugar the weight fell off much easier. To me sugar is like an addiction and i see you go straight for the high carb junk after a stressful day at work. That is your biggest battle - get the...

I have to say I really liked this workout. It moved quickly although I used a heavier barbell for legs then dumbbells for upper body segments for easier transition. Just an FYI if you do the basic premix which has abs at the end it skips for first cardio of plunge lunge even though its in the...

Just did it - total sweat fest! Time flew by. Loved the tabatas and music was good. Will have to try the premix with the extra tabatas next time and hope to survive!

I really enjoyed this one despite my hesitancy to do total body workouts. I went heavier on the legs but similar weights to Cathe for upper body, used a 12 inch step and was definitely a cardio affect. I did the shorter extreme premix which was about 55 minutes and I was so DONE by then lol! I...

I don't know what I was thinking but decided to do the extreme premix with 3 sets of legs and couldn't walk for 2 days lol! I did go heavier in most exercises. It was a little repetitive as there are a few exercises in the last round that are the same as the first round but overall great...

Omg I received my DVDs today already and I'm in Canada- that never happens! Merry Christmas to me!

I've lost about 10 pounds as well along with clean diet and exercise. Hot flashes too lol! I take an OTC supplement called Menosense that helps tremendously and buy it at Vita Health here in Canada so wake up maybe 1-2 times/ night but not every night. They also went away for about 6 months then...

Ooooh me likey!! Everyone looks so good - as usual :)

Darn it i was trying to ignore this but Diesel sounds right up my alley lol! I may have to "donate" some more $$ to Mary at totalfitness.... Jamie

I'm another one who loves to lift heavy and the only time I would consider myself to be "bigger" than I wanted was when I had a layer of fat covering the muscle. Once I reigned in the nutritional aspect of things and added more HIIT/ metabolic training the fat melted off and i have great muscle...

Yowza, I've learned to love pushups and now I want Cathe's eyelashes lol!

Thank you for your post Cafelatte, and for explaining the connection between DUI and depression - I couldn't understand in earlier comments in this thread why anyone would post such information. Makes sense now. Just a different vibe when I read the thread over on videofitnessforum where most...

Hi Perle, I have the dream body cardio series and it's not something I would use as a stand alone rotation. The cardio is a very fast pace - not sure if you're ever done Insanity with Beachbody but kind of similar with no real rest breaks. It's not all leg work either - I think the MILF and...

Holy smokes, I don't think i want to know about this poor woman's private issues such as this DUI - none of anyone's business - sorry to sound impolite but if I was a family member I'd be mortified that anyone was digging into history such as this. Just my opinion...

Melagras, can i ask why you feel the need to change your diet? Is it for weight loss or general health? You seem to have chosen two styles of eating that are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Personally I prefer not to cook something that has more than 5 ingredients or I get anxious lol! So i...

I guess I need more "mindless" reading and movies and loved The Martian - Matt Damon isn't too hard on the eyes. :)

LOL cupcake I know it feels like sheer torture the first time you do it! I started off doing the air jacks etc at a slower rate than Cathe and gradually increased the speed once I'd done the workout a few times. But it's such a hurts so good kinda feeling!
