STS has made me VERY aware that I have no flexibility, as in I may injury myself if I don't do something quick. I really need to focus on lower body flexibility. I have a bad left knee and can feel the muscle or tendon.. whatever, which runs down your knee and along side it tighten up when I...

I watch the show. If you like this one, you might also like Greek, FYI. My husband thinks it's funny that I watch shows like this one. He always asks me how old I am. My "excuse" is that I'm a high school teacher and thus need to stay in touch with their world. I agree that the acting's...

I have to disagree. If your form is good and the weights are light (1-2 pounds) and you don't have joint problems, I think it should be fine. Every kickboxing instructor (DVD's) mentions that using hand weights can up the intensity.

I have one that I cut out from an Oxygen magazine if you want me to type it here I can. Just let me know. :) Come back and post reviews of any of the ones you try.

You're welcome, Janis. I thought it was interesting, and something that I've always wondered.

Kara- this is an interesting article which addresses your question. http://labrada.com/members/week212.htm

Lori- this thread from the bodybuilding forum has a lot of recipes for healthy banana bread. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=110939711&highlight=banana+protein+bread

I think it's pretty cool that Cathe doesn't give advice in areas where she feels that she isn't the expert. She will give her opinion (sometimes) on injurys and diets, but she will always suggest seeing an expert and doing what's best for each person's body. There are so many people in the...

I totally agree with Phyllis and Christine. I have owned three Huskies. They are a very unique breed of dog and def. not for everyone. I wouldn't have any other dog but maybe that's because I never have! They shed A TON, are very neurotic (mine would constantly walk around in a circle in the...

Got it. Thanks again for your super quick reply.

SNM- Thanks for the quick response. So, it doesn't matter what the count pattern is, just the number of reps I can do with the heaviest weight? So, on those one-leg squats, don't try to mimic the rep count? Again, thanks for your response and for your passion in creating an outstanding...

I'm a bit confused with this program. Since I don't have a barbell, I've been putting in the weight of only one dumbbell. For example, with a chest fly I use 12's. I just put in 12. I think I'm doing that correctly.... ? Or should I put in the combined weight? But what's really confusing me...

I'm only going to order the mixed marital arts part. I can't do the other portions because my knee hates step workouts or high intensity jumping around. So, there's prob. something for everyone.

No, Cathy. You answered my question. ~Thanks~ I totally agree with you said about fitness being a lifelong journey. I have to constantly remember that.

Well, you are brilliant because I just tried that and it solved that issue. Thanks! I can slowly get to where I can pick the weights up on my own w/o feeling like my back is going to break.

I'm almost done with week one, and am wondering what to do next week. I completed some of the one rep max, but really don't plan on doing all of them. I am using heavy weight that's tough for the last 2-3 reps of the 15 reps in most exercises during Meso 1, Week 1. My question is for next...

It was briefly mentioned on the check-in for Disc #3, Legs (the first leg workout) about putting a step behind and under you (?) so you can pick up your weights easier when doing those wall squats. Can someone explain this to me? Do I take my long step, I'm guessing, put enough risers under...

I wanted to come back and give a review of the dish since I made it last night. I liked it, and so did my husband. The only thing I will do differently next time is add less brown sugar. It was a bit too sweet for my taste. Every brand of tomato sauce and ketchup has different amounts of...
