Depends on the shoes and your surface I've had Reeboks that lost their spring within just a couple of months, and 1 pair of Rykas that lasted a whole year ( Of course they were discontinued by the time I needed another pair darn it! :-) ). The replacement Rykas only made it 6 months. It also...

Not lost, just TIRED :-) Depending on how hard you've been pushing yourself, everyone here is right. It may be time for a break. Or it may be time for a change. Maybe it's time to try some other activity for a while, like yoga, roller blading, biking, anything that interests you. We all go...

I'm not sure where they get the beginner rating I've been doing Cathe's weight training since she came out with MIS, and Power Bar kicks my tushie. No, you don't use as heavy weights, but that's the whole point. I don't know that I would recommend PB to a beginner. There aren't really enough...

You get ready by DOING it! Hee hee! :-) MIC is very scary to watch. Really the only thing to do is get up and start going through it. If you can't all the way through the hi/lo the 1st time, just do as much as you can and improve from there. I never do the hi/lo section, but I adore the...

Definitely! Good luck! I'm so excited about these new videos! The best of both luck and inspiration to you!! I can't wait for some more details once the filming is done and edited!!! But most importantly . . . HAVE FUN! If you're having fun, we will too! :-) Erin

I know you can get them at fwonline. I think the price was around $22/pr. There were risers being auctioned dutch on ebay last week for $2 apiece, but I think that ended. He might re-list if he didn't sell them all. Good luck! Erin

Programming across DVDs With some DVD players you can set it up so that, for example, you can tell it to play the kickbox CTX section, then a cardio section and CD from Cardio Hits without having to hit any buttons after you program it and hit play. It goes through and automatically does all...

I don't have the QVC videos, but I love the Tae Bo Live series. I really like the core strength I get from this workout. I have both Advanced and Basics and both are good. Sometimes when I want a longer than 30 minute workout but am feeling low energy I'll combine 2 basics. It's perfect...

Does it program across the DVDs? Someone at Video Fitness who bought the Panasonic CV-50 tried to program across DVDs and it wouldn't. Does yours? Or are you just programming within a single DVD? Wendy over at VF is writing an article on DVDs that sut the needs of home exercisers, so she...

Pioneer DV-C503 The Pioneer 503 is a 5 disk machine, which allows me to combine workout sections from different DVDs. I can add a section from the Cardio Hits DVD to a CTX cardio section, for example, to get a longer cardio workout. If you think you might ever want to have that option, you...

My current fave In my log I call this my 5 minute intervals workout, although it isn't a classic interval type of workout. I had to call it something other than "that thing I like to do on the treadmill in 5 minute cycles." :-) 1. 5 minutes -- warm up on 0% grade, starting at 3.8 and ending...

Hi, Debbie! The bar itself weighs 10 lbs. I didn't order any plates to go with it, since I already have some that I bought at Play It Again Sports for $.45/lb, or something like that. I don't remember exactly. You can also get them for around that price at Walmart. Any plates with the...

I pulled in to my driveway yesterday afternoon, straining my eyes for the hoped for package on the porch, and THERE IT WAS!!! Please pardon my gushing, but I'm so excited! This barbell is gorgeous! Okay, who woulda' thought there was beauty in weights equipment, but there it is! :-) The only...

Cranberry juice I got mine at a natural foods store that was near where I lived. It wasn't a co-op, but had a lot of the same kinds of foods that you find at a co-op, so those might be possibilities. I'll bet if you looked in the yellow pages under organic foods, you would find the kinds of...

I've gotta' try this! :-) LAST EDITED ON May-01-01 AT 03:32PM (Est)[p]Let's see if I can get this thing figured out! :-) HAPPY PRE-ORDER DAY!!!!! :-) :-) Did I get it? Hee hee! Erin

YEAH!!! I was hoping for this news!!!!! I can't wait! This instant gratification really helps prevent VHS-regrets, knowing that I won't have my new workouts for 3 weeks after the VHSers get theirs. :-jumpy :-jumpy PS dvds, here I come!!!!!!! Thanks so much for putting these great workouts...

Gotta love those sales people! The good ones at least admit that they're ignorant! I love people who use techno-speak to try to prove that they know what they're taking about when they're actually clueless. :-) When I was shopping for mine, there wasn't 1 single sales person who actually knew...

A few random thoughts If you wanted to increase your sample menu by 300 or so calories, you could add a glass of milk or juice and/or a piece of fruit to your breakfast, add fruit or yogurt to your lunch or maybe some cut up fresh veggies, have the whole potato and 5 or 6 oz of meat. It...

I would agree that you need more calories You're doing a lot of work, with not a whole lot of fuel. My off the cuff estimation is that you need a minimum of 1800 calories to support your activity level and lose weight. That's just based on a rough estimate that your base metabolism is...

dumbell sub for t-bar rows I always hate loading 1 end heavy and then having to stop and basically re-load my whole barbell again, so what I started doing instead of t-bar rows is this: I keep the same body position as in the t-bars and use 2 heavy dumbells. I make sure I'm extending my arms...
