I use the short dumbbell bar with 40 lbs worth of plates. I hold the dumbbell in the same position as Cathe but place my hands on the widest plate. Actually, now that I think about it, my total weight is a bit more than 40 lbs because of the bar and the screw caps. Works great for me. Lorrie

Back to the 2 right shoes dilemma! Did they provide you with a UPS return label to return your 2 rights? They sent me a new pair of shoes quickly but for the life of me I cannot get them to send me the UPS return label, as they promised me they would, to return the 2 right shoes. They told me...

RE: Awww! Tee, hee, hee :D Well, there's only one way to find out if DH can do it - he's just gotta try! The moves are very basic, I can't imagine he could propel himself through the drywall or tv with this one (although the visual image of that is hysterical!) Send me an email with your...

RE: Hey Debbie! No, it's not Intense Moves - I think Clare is right, it's the Power Workout (still not at home, sorry) Ask your hubby, if he's interested I'll send you the tape. I really enjoyed it when I was first starting step. Tell him step is good for his heart (as is his wonderful wife...

RE: Boy, do I agree! You know what I thought was absolutely unbelievable? A few months ago when that invention first known as "IT" came out - the human transportor scooter looking thing - the media was raving how wonderful and cool it was. And then in the next breath lamenting over the...

I read your post about wishing men would be in step videos to motivate your hubby. I have a Reebok step tape with Gin Miller that has some very buff and handsome men stepping. It has really basic moves, no dancy stuff, so the men don't look girly doing the workout. I forget the name of the...

Hey Cathe! Will our favorite regulars once again be part of your crew for the new videos? I really hope Rhonda is able to fly up from GA for filming. And I hope CeeDee, Brenda, Lisa and Hope will be there too! Will the guys be included for a little spice? ;-) Thanks! Lorrie

Hi Kathy! I was on Mircette 28 for a long time for BC purposes. My doc is a woman and always takes time to explain things. Mircette 28 has a low dose of estrogen in it during the week of "inactive" pills, the week you have your period. The estrogen is supposed to relieve the menopausal...

Hey Amanda, CTX is a fun series and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results. Just make sure you put a couple days between Power Circuit and Leaner Legs because Power Circuit has leg work with the barbell. Enjoy! Lorrie

Happy Birthday to Mom and best wishes for many more! My mom is 60 and a die-hard walker also. She lives in PA and I live in FL so we only get to walk and talk about twice a year, but I too cherish those times and wish we didn't live so far apart. Lorrie

What is sublingual? Spider veins, eye circles, knee aches and chin hairs - that's me too! Actually, I have an entire peach fuzz beard which I Nair away once a week! My mom is always warning me about saggy knee skin - oh joy, can hardly wait for that! Lorrie

I can empathize! And I won't be 38 until Wednesday! My problems are night sweats during certain times of the month and occasional dizziness/lightheadedness. I can practically hear my hormones raging about inside me. x( I saw something on t.v. about finding out when your mother started...

RS is a blast! There are 3 sections and then the challenge so you could start out with just section 1 and get that under your belt before moving on to 2 and then 3. The challenge is the 3 sections all run together, no new moves. It is a little complicated but I got it all the way through on my...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-06-02 AT 03:08PM (Est)[p]Another vote for Bryan Kest. These tapes are ashtanga (power)yoga and really work your muscles. You flow through the poses faster and do pushups in between up and down dog. I also have Baron Baptiste 3 video series which is also power yoga. I like...

Have you tried emailing them with your concerns? Their email is [email protected]. They will respond, usually within 24-48 hrs to emails. Hope you get your vids soon - IMO they are worth it! I guess we've all gotten spoiled with SNM's suberb customer service which is just unparalleled...

There's also another poster, Fitnik, who is from the UK. She hasn't posted in awhile though due to pregnancy and some personal difficulties. Hope she'll turn up again soon. Would like to hear more about your opinion of Mr. Blair - obviously I'm clueless as to his policies. I was impressed...

RE: That's it! Hee, hee - no, mine were a size 6 - and I'm still waiting for my left shoe! Hopefully they'll check the box when I return the 2 right shoes so some other poor soul, or should I say "sole", (some shoe humor - stop groaning!) doesn't get shorted a left! Lorrie :-)

Hmmm, I'm no way an expert but I definitely think a rotation with PH and CTX will give you cuts instead of bulk. If you are still looking to lose weight a CTX rotation would probably be ideal because of all the cardio - although you deserve congrats on losing the 25lbs! You won't lose muscle...

Hey Angie! I'm exactly the same way with those lunges. I sometimes use 20 lbs but it didn't make much difference. I know my form is good so since it's a pre-exhaust for the plies with that whopper 40lb dumbbell I just use that time to suck up energy for the plies.:-) Lorrie

Just curious - are chips like our french fries? I had someone visit from England a few years ago and he made me some tea the British way. It was good but he put milk in it - I usually drink mine black with lots of sugar. Oh well, England may not be famous for its cuisine but Tony Blair is...
