I did Imax 3 and the squat thrusters today. I can't follow a prescribed rest day. I figure I'm going to take 1 a week, but I wait until I have a day I feel over tired or over busy (this was the case this week on Thur.) or just too stessed. Does anyone else find Imax 3 a lot more dancey...

Gayle and nice on ice: If it was every exercise session, yes, I'd say 800 situps may not be the best way to spend your time. I do think that is something you'd have to determine, though. But, a couple of times may be something that challenges you. After all, the main thing I've learned from...

I took my rest day yesterday (Thursday) since my kids wanted to go to the Florida Aquarium, so I did IMAX 2 today. I don't have Core Max, so I used Core Foundations from TLP Productions. This is a great core work out. It moved pretty fast and had some fairly good background music, though not...

Okay, now your message has gone to 3 sets of 50. Very strange. But that is a lot of reps for one exercise. 150.

nice on ice: If you don't have the equipment for hanging knee ups, then what? What is your typical exercise regime? You know what is weird? Your original message when I reply says 3 sets of 50 instead of 3 sets of 30. But when I click back to your original statement it says 3 sets of...

I did IMAX and the 200 lunges. It took an extra 6 minutes to do all the lunges. Not bad, so far. Sounds like everyone is doing great!

I'm not secretive, I just find that most people do not care. They may want to know in a superficial way, but then the glazed eyes take over and I know I have said too much. So in the interest of not boring anyone to death I rarely talk fitness with anyone other than my husband. Now, him, I can...

I did the cardio portion of Body Max and then my ancient tape broke! GRRRR! I did the 200 jumping jacks. It took 3-4 minutes. Then I went to go figure out what else was on Body Max so I could make up the rest on my own. I ended up doing the circuit by jumproping 3 minutes, then 1 minute of a...

Angela: I've done walking lunges outside. When I first did it, I felt weird, but a week later one of my neighbors greeted me by saying "Hi, muscle woman!" and spoke very enthusiastically about how she saw me do them. So, you'll probably get more people interested and impressed than those that...

Jillybean: do you jumprope? I may sub this in for some running. I live in FLA and it is hot and humid. Jumproping in the ac with music blasting is a lot more fun, but I will try not to sub too much if I can help it. I don't know how I can run adding hills, either, since it is flat here. I'll...

Yes, count me in. I will need subs as I go along since I don't have any of the High Steps and only IMAX 3, GS Legs and Hardcore Extreme from the new series (might have to think about getting some of the others, hmmm). I also don't have Ab Hits, but isn't that a compiliation of her ab work from...

Carole, do you add reps since Cathe mostly does a 16 rep set? I was wondering if you stick to her count or add in 4 to get to 20?

Hi! Great rotation, it is giving me lots of lovely ideas for this type of training}( ! I have Legs and Glutes, but what is Leg and Glutes Extreme? Thanks!

If your sister is intermediate to advanced and needs a change from Cathe type weight work outs, I'd say go with P90X. It is tough and motivating and perfect for losing that last 10 lbs. Especially if she needs something to shake up her routine. Slim Series is much more of an endurance type...

I just bought the regular M & F and throughout the magazine they had articles they called Muscle and Fitness Hers articles. I can live with this since they (M&F) seems to have toned down the sexist remarks, at least in this issue. They still had to have the cheesecake photo. Hopefully that...

I don't usually eat out(for lunch, that is, dinner is different), but I just had the McDonald's Sesame Chicken Salad and it was delicious! It even had edame (spelling? they are shelled boiled soy beans) on it! The only downside is the dressing was a little sweet for my taste (though only 80...

I am posting only to remind that what you wear at work isn't just a female thing. My husband works for a big financial company and works strictly on commission. They want him in a suit with a tie and a white shirt. A light blue shirt is okay, sometimes. He can take the jacket off when he is...

Lori, I live in Florida, too. It is humid but nothing beats New Orleans in the summer. It rains constantly too because it is so humid that it has to drizzle all day. No wonder the whole town is below sea level.

I got an email for 30 day free trial of Beachbodies support network. They give you personalized stuff like menus. Of course, you have to give them a credit card # and they probably are recommending their exercise dvd's for the exercise. I don't know a lot of about it, and I have to wait to...

I agree that diet is more than 50% of the equation, but on Brant's training, I've read several interviews of her where she states that she does a lot of sprint training. Sprinting seems to promote muscle building. Sprinters generally seem to be a lot more muscular (I'm thinking of the Olympic...
