I would love to hear from anyone and everyone regarding their experience with 1 rep max testing. I have never done it before and the dread factor is in full blown attack right now. It seems like an inordinate amount of time to dedicate and I would really like to jump into the Xtrain 90-day...

This is off topic slightly, but one thing I try to do about once every six months is take a week or even two OFF. Yes, you heard right! I get extra sleep and follow my regular eating schedule. I usually plan some type of house project so the time is productive and my N.E.A.T. activity level...

Exercise Lover - Yay! Step Express #5 is my favorite one! Glad you liked it. ElizaBETH

Dawn, Welcome back! Congrats on starting 2013 taking care of YOU. Please post and let us know how you are doing and how you like Xtrain! Happy New Year, Elizabeth

Hi Bam, I suffer from nasal congestion a lot. First, until you recover eliminate dairy as it contributes to mucus production. Cutting dairy did wonders for me!! Try not to use Afrin, etc because they cause rebound congestion which is hard to kick (I know). Have you tried saline spray? Also I...

Hi Natasha, My husband owns a pet shop. He said ick is usually caused by rapid changes in water temperature, like for instance if you brought a new fish home, and the temp was different then where he came from. Or from a water change. There is stuff you can buy that contains copper sulfate and...

I haven't gotten my set yet and was wondering if anyone had the time to briefly describe what the 90 day rotation looks like. How many days per week, avg workout length, rest week etc. nothing fancy just a brief description. Thanks, Elizabeth Sent from my iPhone using CatheForum

Great review, thanks. I'm looking forward to this one. Sent from my iPhone using CatheForum

Whenever I do this one I do step express #5. I simply do not have the coordination and feel like I lose valuable workout time in the form of lost intensity when I fumble over the steps in the regular program. I also have sensitive knees and need to be careful with twisting them through fancy...

I ordered when the presale started AND I live in New Jersey AND still my dvd's have not arrived. Even though I live 30 mins from NYC, it's still a small town and the post office operates as if it was Mayberry, lol. I don't think anyone should be chastised for being eager about the...

Hi Candiceena, You have picked a great instructor to begin exercising with. The great thing is she has a lot of variety in her workouts so there is so much to choose from. A couple questions.. What are your fitness goals? Do you have any physical limitations (bad knees, etc) that you need to...

I know I'm a little late responding to this, but after I saw this thread I looked into the series and subsequently bought the first one only, Yoga Foundations, which I really like as a nice gentle practice. Anyway, I liked them on Facebook and saw that they are offering 30% off of all of...

Cathe, You may regret your offer to answer more questions!! But, if you have time, I have a question that is 'sort of' an offshoot of my prior one regarding aging and exercise. I do tons and tons of reading online and in magazines regarding fitness, and amongst the more "hardcore" lifting...

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply and for making yourself available to all of us! Elizabeth

I'm doing an upper/lower split twice per week for lifting and allowing myself a free for all with the cardio. Ive had a hankering to do the older workouts and am letting myself do it for December since I know I will be totally committed to XTrain for 90 days. :) Sent from my iPhone using...

Hi Cathe, I was wondering if/how you made changes to your exercise patterns (frequency, intensity etc) as you got older. I am noticing that I'm simply not getting the results I used to (I'm going to be 39 in Feb). Yet, I feel like I am exercising more. I do an upper/lower split twice per...

Cathe, thanks so much for remembering us "rotation junkies" during this busy time. Happy Holidays to all and I CANNOT wait for XTrain!! Elizabeth

Body max 2 is so much fun and has excellent premixes. I easily modify it to lower impact bu just lowering my step height. Plus it has great music. I would skip 4ds, I agree with the previous poster- the step work is very hard to keep up with. Have you tried Intensity? That one is all cardio...
