Wow! Everyone had such great weeks, even our injured check-in gal! Erica, I know it's frustrating and boring as heck ( reading your post caused major knee therapy flashbacks for me! :-) ), but just hang in there! You'll be back to your regular routine before you knowit, and you'll be...

Hi, Deb! A couple of different things have worked well for me. The 1st is adding a cup of baking soda to the water in the washing machine before adding my clothes. That worked well on all but my stinkiest stuff ( sorry, maybe too much info! :-) ). Something I found recently that has shot to...

They're on the way! You should have them showing up in your email shortly, if you haven't already. I sent pics too. I think it really helps to understand some parts of the instructions. Good luck! Erin

Truth is stranger than fiction. :-) I actually added in the extra day because I wasn't happy with my lack of progress in upper body strength just working once a week. I didn't have the Firm Split tapes at that point, and I didn't WANT to do the PS upper body tapes twice a week ( booo-ring...

Ditto what Deb said. As I was reading your post, I was thinking exactly the same things that Deb said, although I would say "definitely" on Power Max and Step Fit, rather than "maybe." The tempo on those 2 is a bit slower, but if you really put your all into the moves, you get an awesome...

Playing with rotations is what makes them really work. :-) I have a couple of different rotations I keep going back to, but I had to play with them a little bit to figure out what really works for me. I found that my legs actually get bulkier with just 1 workout a week than if I do all 3 PS...

I do them too I like the warm up sets, especially further into the video. They give me a chance to recover from the other work I've been doing! :-) I can truly say that I KNOW the floor work has benefits you don't get from standing leg work. I did just the standing portion last week, due to...

Look here. :-) Linda, Here is a link to a whole thread about the wheres, whys, and hows of finding this book. http://64.225.138.194/dcforum/FitMoms/281.html Good luck! Erin

You're a baaaad influence, DebbieH! :-) So, I read your posting that you did CST and THEN Cardio Kicks. "Gosh! I never thought of that. I can do that," I thought to myself. So I did, thinking of you and your special anniversary the whole time. :-) It actually went much better than I had...

Happy 1 year!!!! I would love to do Cardio Kicks with you, but I am set up to do PS CST today, and after Cardio kicks I can hardly lift my arm, much less a weight! I'll be with you in spirit, though!!! Happy anniversary! 3 cheers for you and Cathe! :-) Erin

Congratulations! What exciting news!!! A great book to help you out with guidelines for your fitness program is called Expecting Fitness by Birgitta Gallo. She gives lots of info on what you can expect from your body and specifics on how you'll need to alter various fitnes activities as your...

Quickie check-in It's the 3rd BD party for the 3rd consecutive weekend today ( and the last of my 3 Jan. babies, so this is IT! :-) ). so I don't have time to individually address people, but I'm so sorry to hear about the people struggling with injuries! Other than those, though, you all did...

Congratulations!!!! What wonderful news! Take good care of yourself and that sweet little guy! Don't rush TOO quickly into CTX! :-) Even the thought of some of that plyo stuff too soon after childbirth makes me cringe. :-) I think my uterus would fall out ( at least it would feel like it...

What worked for me Hi! I don't know if you have the PS series, but the all-time most effective rotation I ever did in terms of giving my body a leaner look used those. I had people who would bet money that I had lost a ton of weight. I didn't lose weight or inches -- as gauged by how my...

What great weeks! Everyone has been doing AMAZINGLY WELL! I'm really impressed! I have to say on the whole yoga thing: Been there, tried that, couldn't make myself do it, much less like it. Maybe it's the innate lack of flexibility or something. You know how, during a stretch, various...

How cheap? Depending on how cheap you want, there are a few options. My husband and I are in the process of buying a PaceMaster Pro Plus II treadmill, after much shopping around and research. Before I give you my thoughts for where to get one, here's a few things we learned while researching...
