Awesome! Thank you.

Ok, I received my dvd yesterday, and looked at all the premixes. You were all right, and I can't wait to dig in! One question - has anyone done the premixes enough to have an idea of how long each one is? On some of Cathe's premixes it states how long they are - the main menu on this dvd...

Santa Monica is one of my favorites! I've had it for a couple of months, and never seem to get tired of it.

I think the key to your lack of results lies with your statement that you eat clean 85% of the time. I've heard over and over than you can't out run, out lift, or out work a bad diet, and results are made in the kitchen. I always saw so-so results from my workouts, and they were intense. Then...

I had a mysterious gain in November, with no changes to diet or workout (well, I did start lifting a little heavier). I've had those 4 lbs. hanging around ever since. I've been steadily losing inches and bodyfat, but the scale didn't budge. This morning I got on, and the 4 lbs. were gone!!! I...

Eminenz2 - I sent you a PM. :)

Ditto to what everyone else has said. In addition, kettlebells have changed my body in ways that traditional weights and cardio never did. I started just like you - ordered a dvd, bought a kb, and followed along. It wasn't hard to catch on, and if you go to aos.com, you'll find 100's of tutorial...

I purchased it, and was disappointed. It's pages and pages of the same workout. The idea is to track how many reps you can do in a given amount of time with a certain weight with a given amount of rest between, with the goal being to get more done, with more weight, in less time as you go...

I've been reading/hearing alot about PN lately. It sounds similar to the Clean Eating plan by Tosca, but I'm sure there are differences. Sometimes I question some of the recipes in Tosca's plan - like Kathryn said, high in sodium - others use ingredients that wouldn't seem "clean." I know you...

Thanks for all of your replies! I'm stuck between two worlds - I like the freedom of not counting, and if I follow Tosca's plans closely I know I'm eating only quality food. However, I like the accountability of counting and logging - it keeps me on track with my ratios of carbs, proteins, and...

Last week I combined the 4DS Boot Camp (34 min.) with the Kickmax Blast (20 min.) Awesome! I like both the Boot Camp and Kickboxing from 4DS, and there is a premix combining them. I'm not fond of the LI or HI step - too much choreography for my little brain, which takes away from the intensity...

I've been following the Eat Clean plan by Tosca Reno, and I love the portion control and not putting processed crap into my body. The one thing I'm not sure about is her strong belief in not counting calories. Just wondering how everyone else feels is the best way to lose/maintain weight. Do you...

Hmmm, I didn't think about the scale being off. It's actually been quite awhile since I've recalibrated it, or changed the battery. And, everyone in my family uses it (my husband even weighs the dog on it). Thanks for the suggestion - I'm going to work on the scale tonight and see what it gives...

How about the opposite? I'm fairly ruler-shaped also, but my abs (six-pack area) are very defined. What I'd like to do is make my waist smaller. Any ideas about the best exercises for that, other than overall bodyfat loss?

Ok, I just ordered it! I already had Boot Camp (old VHS version), but the idea of combining it with ME was too much for me to resist.

Thanks for doing the comparison! I really think I need a Bodybugg. :)

Cynthia, I just thought of one more question. How does your actual calorie burn calculated by the Bodybugg compare to the online estimators? I sometimes use Caloriecount to log my food and macronutrients, and it gives me an estimate of daily calorie burn based on my height, weight and age. I...

Cynthia, Thank you so much for the info. and the links. It sounds awesome.

Now you guys have got me interested on getting a Bodybug! How much do they cost, and is it true that there is a monthly fee for the software? Also, do they track calories more accurately than a heart rate monitor? My HR monitor only recognizes "cardio" calories.

Don't you love those full body workouts? And I agree - I hate my scale also. I'm not even tempted to weight myself anymore, since the tape measure and mirror are far more accurate anyway. And, we don't walk around with a scale strapped to our butts, so who knows or cares what it says? I used to...
