I think I'll give the Plyo Legs a try, but I'm not hopeful. I just know my knee and it doesn't like airborn squats or explosive lunges, that sort of thing. I'll just sub in another leg workout, possibly the one from P90X. I'm not looking to load up the weight for my lower body anyway, since it...

I'm debating which rotation to do- the 3 or 6 month one. I plan on starting the very last week in June, so in two weeks. What made you guys decide to do the 6 month vs the 3 month? I was thinking of doing the 3 month to see what results I get from them, but maybe the 6 month would be better...

I will give the plyo legs a try, but I'm expecting it to not agree with my left knee. Maybe I'll be wrong. I don't have kettlebells. Don't enable me. lol :)

I like the magazine to spark some creative recipes of my own. Some of the recipes use items I don't like or the recipe has too many ingredients for me. So, I take the basic idea (like the zucchini lasagna recipe) and make my own version. I do think that some of the recipes aren't as clean as I...

You have to get Miralax. It's a powder- grainy-type texture, that you put in anything liquid. I usually put it in my protein shakes or in bottle water. Just shake it up really well. It doesn't have a taste, but sometimes it takes several hard shakes to dissolve. I use a cap full several times a...

I just received STS and finished reading the user's manual. I haven't watched or done any of the workouts yet, but after reviewing the exercises for plyo legs, I'm worried that the exercises might be too much for my bad knee. I can't do explosive anything or I'm looking at 6 months recovery. I...

The fitness "tip" that really helped ME is realizing that Cathe, other instructors, and models do work hard to maintain how they look, but it IS their job to do so. Being fit is a lifestyle for me and not a job. I already have one of those and don't care to have another. I finally realized...

Yes, outgrowing a program is something that I'm afraid of. I don't mind the hour workouts. In fact, the shorter time of the CLX workouts makes me worry a bit. I also dont' want to end up adding on any body part or extra sets of anything. Heck, that's why I'm willling to spend a couple hundred...

Thanks for the input. I'm going to check out the link you provided :)

I've been trying to lift heavy on lower body days and have found several things. My bubble butt has gotten higher, rounder, and bigger. I look like JLo, which isn't a look I'm going for. My thighs and legs overall look much better. I've been doing two lower body workouts (Butts and Guts and Legs...

I have about $300 that's burning a hole in my pocket. I want to buy another workout program, but just aren't sure what to get. I have all of Cathe's workouts (except for basic step, ab hits, and hsc). I preordered STS but became really turned off by how similar it looked to P90X and by the new...

Wow! You guys are so knowledge and helpful. It sounds like I need to do a lot more research and figure out what bike's best for me. Thanks again for your advice.

Thanks for the advice, Tami. Any suggestions on what brand to buy? The last bike I had was a mountain bike in college- teh 90's. It was kinda expensive back then- $350 or so.

I've been looking into getting a bike (a standard one, not a stationary, fitness equipment one). Since I haven'tbeen on this type of bike, since oh, prob. 3rd grade, I have no idea what to look for or if biking would aggravate my knee. I can't walk much (for exercise purposes) bec. my knee seems...

How does P90 master series and P90X+ differ from P90x? Do all 3 have a ton of pushups and pulllups?

I am doing weight training (all legs twice a week, total body twice a week, cardio-kickboxing only twice-three times a week). I'm not sure if I should do more reps and less weight??? But the heavier weights is really working great in developing my hamstrings and quads. Gosh, why does this...

I need your help again. I listened and upped my calories, which I def. needed to do since I also started lifting a lot heavier. This has helped my one yucky area, my thighs, a ton! I've noticed that the small pocket (gross!) of fat under my butt, on my hamstring area, has almost gone away...

Huge waste of money for me. I sent it back, so I only lost the s/h costs. Shaun T might be one of the most annoying people ever. He likes to say his name, which made me want to poke my eyes out. I could have overlooked that if the workout was, well, a workout, but it was a joke. Seriously.

That's too funny about the aroma. My husband told me the other morning that I was farting all night. I had decided to see if my beloved Lean Dess. protein powder could be added back in. Uh, nope! Guess I got my answer. I've also noticed that egg whites aren't my friend. I can only eat...

Janis- I'm not exactly sure why my bloating is much, much better. I think it's a combo of changing the protein powder (I was using Lean Dessert flavors) to the Jay Robb. I'm not sure what it is about the Jay Robb that agrees with me, but I'm not asking any questions. All I know is that the Lean...
