I just tried pyramid upper body last night and all I can say is "WOW" - I love that workout! Since this is only an upper body workout, I was afraid I would get bored. Not a chance. I couldn't believe how quickly the 56 minutes flew by. Prior to this one, I've only done Cathe's total body...

I keep seeing a turtle rolled over on its shell, failing it's appendages around. :D Seriously...I have never ran in the air on my back or even thought about it. I suppose you could do it...just not sure how long you could sustain that - the bicycle for abs is generally over in a few...

60 minutes 4 days a week and 90-120 minutes the other two days (two days a week I do morning cardio and evening weights). I am probably going to drop one of my cardio days, though...it may be a bit too much for my goals of buidling more muscle.

Ryka N-Gage Studio is a great shoe for studio aerobics, including step. They are mid-cut, so they provide good ankle support and are wonderful shock absorbers.

Me too - always. How funny...all this time, I thought it was just me. It has always been my theory that my body is getting rid of the "junk" i.e. sweating out toxins, etc. So I just lumped the runny nose stuff as part of the "getting rid of junk" process. Perhaps there is a more scientific...

I have been an advanced cardio exerciser for many years, but not an advanced weight lifter. I wasn't exactly a member of the pink dumbell crew, but I am/was nowhere near the level of Cathe and many of the more experienced "heavy" lifters around here. I am strong, but skinny...toned, but not...

Yeah...the "fat skinny" skinny look just isn't healthy. I am not saying you have to have huge, ripped muscles to be "fit", but what I am saying is you should be SOLID, whatever size you are. To me, that is a "fit" person...not some 100 lb. toothpick who has no muscle tone.

The few that I have, yes, I do admire them cuz I worked hard for them! I can't wait to build more...I am working on it. :)

I, too, am an eating machine. Every 2-3 hours, gotta have something. I don't feel "sick" if I don't eat, I just get light-headed and shaky.

Neat! I agree with Toasty...I, too, get severely grossed out when I see people eating like pigs. It's weird...I have a really heightened sense of smell and eat very clean. When I am around someone who eats very "dirty" I can actually *smell* it as soon as I come into contact with them. The...

I am so sorry - she will be in my thoughts.

I voted for "Small amount - only I notice it" based on what others *tell* me when I complain about how you can see my cellulite. They say "If you hadn't mentioned it I never would have noticed it and have never noticed it until now, but now that you mention it, yeah, you do have a tiny bit"...

UPDATE: Just ordered PUB, S&H, & GS. My poor bank account... It'll be worth it, though!

Thanks for your advice everyone, I really appreciate it! Other workouts I have: Cathe Timesaver Cathe Imax2 Cathe C&W Cathe CM Christi Taylor Happy Hour Hi/Low Christi Taylor Stepping Zone Christi Taylor Strength, Balance, & Flexibility Gilad 45/45 Split Routine (don't laugh -...

How fun! Here goes: 1) I am a little shy/reserved when I first meet people and sometimes it is mistaken for standoffish-ness. 2) (Keeping #1, above in mind) once I get to know you, I am loud, fun (at least I'd like to think so), and don't shut up! 3) I have a weakness for 80s music...

Hi Everyone, Although I have been working out for quite some time, this is the first time I am actually trying to apply a "science" to my actual goals, by working out on a set rotation. (KINDA SCARY!!) MY GOAL: I am trying to build a little more muscle mass in my upper body, tone my lower...

Hi all! For about the past two years, I notice that every now and then in the middle of a workout, I feel a pinching sensation in my left calf. It only lasts a couple seconds and isn't excrutiating or anything...it just feels kinda like a mosquito bite or a tiny drop of scalding water. Then...

I have it, too. I am 5'8", 125 lbs., size 4, with a body fat of 16.5%. I am happy with EVERY other part of my body except my butt (it's shaped fine and looks OK when covered, but I have cellulite on it so I don't like the way I look in short shorts or a bathing suit). I have resigned to the...

HAHA - too many embarassing moments to count. But...the worst was probably when I was about 15 or 16 (I am now 33) I was wearing a skirt at high school (it was one of those horrible short, acid-washed ones!) It had been rainy that day, so the floors were a bit wet. Well...I slipped as i was...

J Lo has cellulite on her butt and thighs - I saw it in a behind the scenes type thing of the shooting of one of her videos. I was stunned, because you can't tell in any other picture I've ever seen of her. Professional photography is very good at glossing it over, but I think you will find...
