    RE: MIS

    Thanks to everyone for your replies. I just finished a 3 week S & H rotation and am going to move to MIS for the next few weeks. My understanding is that this is strength/endurance work - hoping it will be a good choice now. I loved S&H but feel like I need a total body rotation but also don't...

    Body fat scales

    I just bought the Inner Scan from Tanita - I love it, it's great fun, the muscle mass feature is the best and how many calories you should eat to maintain your weight is fantastic. Anyway - had to mention that your body fat % is at the highest in the morning - that's the time they suggest you...

    MIS

    Is there any reason this workout is never mentioned? Is it a good total body strength workout?

    Did Imax 3 - 1st time - LIVED!!!

    Okay, you were all right - I could not only do Imax 3, but I know I'm going to love it. Of course, stumbled through all recovery step portions (am challenged when it comes to creatively moving); but the recovery times were just right and the blasts were killers but fun and I could do them...

    Effects of Slow & Heavy question

Thing is, I am in 2nd week of S&H, lifting heavy, each one once per week. I'm noticing that I'm more tired...

    IMax 3 Question

    RE: IMax 3 Now I'm really looking forward to getting it. First time I did Imax 1 I felt like the greatest athlete on earth (just because I lived and enjoyed myself, odd aren't we); first time I did Imax 2, I hated myself and Cathe - me for being so amazingly uncoordinated, her for making the...

    IMax 3 Question

    So, just how much harder is Imax 3 in comparison to Imax 1? I love IMax 1 & 2, though find that my heart rate stays between 88-92% during all intervals in 1; in Imax 2 it only gets up there after the first 3 or 4. But I love them both, love doing them. Thing is, I finally ordered Imax 3 -...

    Building Lean Muscle

    Thank you, that is a great suggestion which I will follow - I tend to be very regimented and mixing things up is what I need. Have to say, shape is not hour glass, more like a box with a curve for a waist - eating habits are good, but only after years of bingeing, starving, trying & failing...

    Building Lean Muscle

    I have never done a purely strength rotation before, have always done endurance/strength (more emphasis on endurance). Have good definition but want to concentrate on building lean muscle mass for the my next 4 - 6 week rotation. Please give me advice on whether to go to Slow & Heavy or Gym...

    Terminator DVD Question

    I am going to order a circuit workout today - I want a tough one. Posted this question recently and Circuit Max was recommended. I am going to get that one, but in looking over descriptions before ordering this morning it occured to me that the Terminator DVD might be just what I want right...

    Re: calories burned/Polar F11 Heart Rate Monitor

    I love, love this HRM - did automatic for heart rate limits - also did the fitness test. I couldn't believe it, I got a 45 which the monitor said in bold letters - 'Elite', I flipped, this from a woman who was nothing but flab in her 30's. And the best, most satisfying part was the calories...

    Re: calories burned/Polar F11 Heart Rate Monitor

    I broke down yesterday and paid full price at Sports Authority for the F11. Weirdly enough, I feel better about spending the extra money and not losing my A5 which is still working great - hope I find programing it as easy as you did. I was on the phone with Polar for almost an hour yesterday...

    Re: calories burned/Polar F11 Heart Rate Monitor

    Well, I did it as well, received it yesterday and actually sent it back for a refund - which I now really question whether I should have or not. Thing is I just bought my A5 in September and suddenly realized that even tho I was getting a 30% discount, I was also sending back one I'd only...
