I've always wanted a DVD with the Muscle Meltdowns from the ICE series (kind of like the one that was done for the strength bonuses in LITE). I'd also like a a DVD with the core bonuses as well as one with all of the extended stretches. Those would be big timesavers for me as far as getting a...

I did try LMR's Core Fusion awhile back, but it was too long for the amount of time I have (I add core to the end of my workout). I had to break it into 3 days, and if I remember right... I think there were pikes on the last day. Unless I'm getting it mixed up with another video?

I own STS 2.0, but I never had a chance to get into the set before my workouts came to a halt a couple of years ago. I'd read that the standing abs on it was easier, but I didn't realize there were 4 ab workouts - cool. Reasonable reps is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I've found that my "form"...

Thank you. I do have Ab hits, but I remembered that most of them were crunches. I don't remember the 7 premixes - that sounds like it would have the variety I'm looking for, without being too far above my ability level. I'm going to check it out. Thank you! :-)

I have been back on my fitness journey for almost two months now, thanks to the helpful answers I received to my last couple of quests from so many of you. So, I'm back, asking for more guidance. lol I'm coming along on my upper and lower body strength pace - slow, but steady progress. For abs...

I count every additional pound that I add - no matter how I'm carrying the weight (vest or weights in hand). If it's not my body weight, I count it. I was taught to do that by a professional trainer, but that was in the late 80s, so not sure how it's done now. When using a barbell, I also count...

This is excellent information. Thank you Debinmi! She even used one of my favorite quotes, "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you". She broke down quite a few research studies into bite-sized pieces that make sense. I like that she kept emphasizing effort over weight too. I have...

I've always enjoyed the updates - everything from building excitement to helping me determine how I plan to use it when it arrives. This time, though, I've had to start working out again from a long time away from it, and while I'm proud that I got started... I'm still struggling. I'll get...

I did try using the premix tab on her shopping page, but some of them didn't have that available (older videos), so I think that workout manager will help me find out more about those. Yeah, "bite" is an understatement. lol More like DOMS! lol I also have severe varicose veins, and I've found...

Laughing because you used a sledgehammer too - you poor thing - I'm STILL feeling it! lol I've never used the Workout Manager before, so I didn't know it could be used that way - thank you for the idea. That sounds more efficient than what I've been doing (reading blogs to try to find what I...

I love that - " thriver". Thank you Debinmi. That gives me something to strive for. I am hoping I'm on my way to that, because I recently met a woman that had just gotten herself out of a bad situation. I've been trying to do for her what my friends did for me. I wasn't strong enough at the...

My situation was weird - that's for sure. My abusive husband started cheating (looking for a replacement) with a married woman (who said she'd divorce and marry him after he got my life insurance) when I was hemorrhaging so heavily, because he figured I had cancer. He wouldn't allow me to go to...

Thank you - I do still have decent mobility and decent balance and probably above average flexibility (due to dancing), and I have quite the collection of DVD's to maintain and improve that. Thanks to this blog, I've been able to work on my upper body in a way that is not too much for me, and I...

I did the Pyramid Pumps - one body part a day (the week before I did the muscle meltdown), and I did the Perfect 30 lower body one of those days as well as a couple of ab workouts. Then, I did the same thing with one body part a day (burrn sets from Xtrain) and added the same bonus lower body...

I have been back to exercising for almost 2 weeks, and my motivation (and abilities) just weren't there the first week. This week, however, I've been enjoying it more, and now that I know where I'm at and what I can and can't (yet) do... I've started to become more organized - planning the rest...

Thank you so much for for those resources. It does sound like I need to slip in some lower body resistance training to get that extra protection. I am so active that my heart rate rarely rises when I do what others would consider to be cardio (my recreational activities). I've never been a fan...

Thank you so much for all of your tips. I am eating clean, which I'm quite proud of. :) I have energy in the day, but the workouts (even 10 minutes) are draining me due to not having my iron levels up where they should be. Iron takes FOREVER to get back to normal range. I am not able to place...

I used to be very dedicated, and had a system that I'd designed that acted as a "rotation", but left me TONs of choices - just chose a workout from a category that fit that day's criteria. That freedom to choose made it so my workouts were always enjoyable and fit the time slot I had available...

I have no medical insurance, but I know from previous visits to my doctor that it's anemia (iron). I've been working on getting my iron levels up, since I suffered an injury that caused my fibroids to start hemorrhaging. The bleeding finally stopped, but the iron was being depleted while I was...

I'm familiar with LITE and ICE (did them when I used to work out regularly), but LMR was still in it's plastic wrapper until yesterday. lol So, that's the one I really didn't know it's "level". I saw comments on here saying it might be the best for me, so I did the core workout in 2 segments...
