    banslug/Gayle tell me about your routine

    Gayle, I already told you offline - but you look AMAZING! I admire your commitment to the program. I looked at it and honestly don't think I have it in me to do that right now...although my gym is starting a 12wk body challenge in February that I'm considering... Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

    Favorite Workout Acquired in 2007?

    4DS (my fave is Kickbox, although I like the weight work from HIS best) and BM2. I also have a couple iClimb WO that I really like - one 30min (I think iClimb 11) and the other is a 40min.

    For those who've had vision correction surgery

    I had Lasik in 2004 and went from Coke bottle glasses to none. Even if I had needed some glasses @ that time I'd have done it in a heartbeat (and still would). Thick glasses to thin ya know. My boss also had it, but has to wear glasses for distance because he had really thin corneas. He...

    How many daily calories?

    I'm 5'2" and about 150# right now - working toward 135#. I'm eating 1500-1700 calories right now and that seems to have jump started my weight loss - I was not getting enough calories. Anyway, I also found that balance w/i those calories is really important. I needed to increase my protein...

    What cross trainer shoes do you wear...

    Another New Balance fan here. I tried Nikes, but they didn't have enough stability in the side-to-side stuff for me.

    HIS is tricky

    I couldn't get that hitch kick thing either, although some portions of that combo seemed easier strung together than separate. I'll get it w/ time...

    Interesting weight/height statistics

    Interesting stats...I appear to be just about average (about 15# overweight @ present). On the bright side, that's 40# less than I used to be and I'm on my way down! As for eating healthy - I sure try to be sure that my kids eat well @ home. Both like most veggies & fruits, lean meat, and...

    My own personal challenge to myself...anyone can join

    I need to get off the sweets too! I was already planning to try for a chocolate-free month (chocolate is my nemesis). I do think I'll break it down to a week at a time, though, just to make it seem a little less oppressive.

    venting

    You definitely need a break. My advisor in grad school (wise man that he is) actually told me to go to the movies when I got to feeling like you are now. Great advice - IMO - I forgot all about the stressors and really enjoyed the movie. Felt rejuvenated. ((((HUGS))))

    Preview videos first

    I almost always do a new step WO without the step the first time since I've been known to fall of my step too (it's the early morning thing for me to :-)). If I'm feeling ambitious I might use the step w/ no risers.

    Best DVD following Low Impact Step?

    My favorites are Low Impact Circuit and BodyMax 2 - BM2 as a whole is LONG, but I break down the WO and do whatever segments are appropriate for any day. Haven't used the premixes on that much. I also like Pyramid Upper Body/Pyramid Lower Body for weights - especially PUB :-). Regarding BM2...

    Which are used most?

    I used to sub Legs & Glutes for Butts & Guts when called for in the rotations. Finally bought B&G, though. It has more Core work (which I desperately need).

    5K for Thanksgiving?

    I say GO FOR IT!!!! And I agree w/ the poster who said not to worry about "keeping up" with your friend. Also agree about outside running being WAY different than the TM. My first TG 5K it took me FOREVER (47:00ish), but I finished and I "ran" all the way. Last year (2nd TG 5K), I did the...

    Is it just my DVD player?

    Not Cathe, but I noticed the same thing w/ one of the kickbox premixes - the music was there, just VERY soft. I still enjoyed the WO, though.
