Thank you Jesse1 ! That song has been stuck in my head the past 6 days !

Hi Laura , That's great ! You must feel really proud . It's fun to have each day planned out so smartly , isn't it ? I'm wondering what I'll do when I finish too . I really love to read these suggestions because I just passed the halfway point of Xtrain , #90 and have started to think about...

Hi Jennifer , I also have the Rumble Roller and really like it but the lack of ,' give ', is probably the best and worst thing about it - it's great for digging into a specific trigger point , but not always helpful [ to me ] at getting larger areas to relax . I've never tried any other types ...

I have to say , mine has been great so far . I'm curious to hear if this is an exception . I haven't been too hard on it though - just using it for squats etc .

Me either ! These can't come out soon enough !

Hi Steph , You know your body . If your back feels unstable and you think you might hurt it , then this might not be the workout for you . Yes , it is low impact , but that doesn't mean that other body parts can't get injured . I've got bad knees , and the low impact is great for that , but the...

YAY ! This could be dangerous , but thanks !

ETA - I wonder if the fact that it feels awkward is causing your feet to tense up [ subconsciously trying to hold on to the disks ] and causing the cramps ?

Looks like like totally missed this - What is it ? I'm always excited to hear about something new ! Thanks !

Hi Steph , There's always hope ! Is the cramping the main reason why you feel like you can't do it ? If it's not , don't worry . If you keep at it , you'll lock into it and once you do , it's SO much fun ! I just think this workout is so different from what a lot of us are used to that it can...

Nathalie's right - TTM and CF are both multi impact and seem like they would be pretty hard to modify , but of course , it can be done if you're good at that kind of thing . I'd keep it simple and go with something from the LIS series . Good luck !

So many great ideas ! Thanks all !

I know that anytime I've tried the cardio before heavy weights my lifting suffers - it's like I need every spare ounce of energy to do it at all . Those were always long cardio sessions , though . These short sessions sound more plausible . I'm still working on resisting the daily cardio urge [...

Thank you Nathalie , I always love to read your posts , and this makes so much sense ! I don't build muscle mass very easily and have had a tough time getting out of the ,' cardio every day ' , habit because I like the way it makes me feel - those endorphins are the best . But - since I have...

ETA - now , looking back at these posts , there seems to be a consensus that PY4H 's MH is a favorite among these dvd's . So glad I started with it !

Hi everyone , Yesterday , I finally did one of these workouts ! I have both dvd's , the Power Yoga for Happiness and The Pursuit of Happy Hips , so on Elsie3's recommendation I tried Magically Hips from PY4H . Wow ! I really liked it and felt that although it was challenging , it was still very...

Is that the sit up / push up combo in the conditioning part ? Wow ! Good for you ! I start to fail about 3/4 in and have to go to my knees . You're rockin' !

Hi Monika , I'm really glad to hear it's probably just muscle failure - I felt pretty certain is was nothing serious , but just wanted to make sure . It's funny because we both seem to be going through the same thing this week : we increased our weight loads and everything seemed fine , and then...

Hi Monika , I'm not Cathe [ of course ] , but I did think of a couple of things . The first was , could you just have been experiencing muscle failure in that arm ? That actually happened to me today during Hardstrikes because I was wearing new and heavier weighted gloves , and my left and...

I just wanted to add - my whole body is thanking Cathe ! Yep - Xtrain IS a masterpiece !
