Funny you should ask about the bootcamp premix. I just watched portions of it because I'm interested in adding it to my rotation. What I can gather from what I watched and from the workout manager, it has upper and lower body (4 rounds of legs I think and all upper and abs) interspersed between...

It depends on your goals, but most PT's and nutritionists say that you should abstain all together. Not only for the calorie intake but for the other things it does to you body. Yes, red wine has some proven health benefits, but it's unlikely that you will make yourself more unhealthy by...

I was reading an article about foods to avoid post workout on the Muscle and Fitness Hers website. While reading the comments (I always get so much interesting info from reader comments) one of the readers made mention to a website called eatthismuch.com. So... of course I checked it out...

My green firewalker band did break on me. I was only using it for Butts & Gutts, so it was not getting a lot of use, and I always untied it before taking if off, so I don't think I caused any tears. It is probably a fluke. My complaint would be that I have been unable to find just the green...

I think starting the new year with xtrain might be just what the doctor ordered after a holiday season of not so clean eating. :) At least for me it will give me that little motivating kick in the behind I will need to get going. Regardless of when we get them I plan to start in Jan. But, I...

I think the two products you mentioned do two different things. Illuminating serums typically "brighten" or add a glow to the skin. They are usually worn under foundation and how much the "glow" shows through would be determined by how much coverage your foundation has. Retinol treatments are...

Thanks Melagras!! I wondered about the experience level considering they are a chain. I will definitely do some research. I'm glad to see it helped you. I think I just needed an "excuse" to treat myself to them.. ;)

Hi GrettaB, I think I have been overtraining too, because my muscle recovery is so slow. My body hurts!! I hope your bruising improves quickly. I think this forum is great for bouncing things off each other! Take care, Elizabeth

Hi MJ, Ok, I did a little online research about BCAA and I am very intrigued. It seems to have quite a lot of benefits in addition to muscle recovery. thanks for your input! Elizabeth Sent from my iPhone using CatheForum

You hooked me with the title of this thread! Isn't that the truth?! You did the right thing. The only way to create the space in your life for the kind of relationship you want is to eliminate or "redefine" the one that is no longer good for you. Take this time to just be with...

Hi All, I have DOMS frequently and my recovery rate is a little slow no matter what I do. I was wondering if sports massage would help. Has anyone tried it with any frequency and found it to be helpful? I'm 38 and very physically active, not just with exercise, but in general, but...

Hi GrettaB, After reading your post, I felt compelled to chime in. First, I do not work in the medical field and am only speaking by personal experience. I have suffered from anemia my whole life and had it rather severely the last year. My doctor put me on a very specific iron supplement...

I'm a big fan of the pyramid workouts, especially the upper body. I also get DOMS big time with it. The only explanation i can come up with is that you are absolutely pushing yourself to failure by the time you get to the top of the pyramid and then you still have to come down. I've also noticed...

I have several questions. I never did STS so I'm clueless as to how a program like this is structured. If you choose to do the 90 day program, are the workouts structured for you, telling you what to do on each day? Is this program more weight lifting intensive or cardio intensive? I am...

Along with my usuals, I started watching The Mindy Project. Anyone who liked The Office should check it out. Mindy Kaling is hilarious.

Hi Cathe, SNM, and Cathletes, I apologize in advance if this has been addressed in a prior thread, but I couldn't find anything by searching. Like everyone else, I am very excited to begin Xtrain, and ordered it shortly after preordering began. I have not done STS so the concept of one rep...

That is a great suggestion! I too find that the groups the videos are divided into do not provide quite enough info. Sent from my iPhone using CatheForum

Skyy2, I totally get where you are coming from. I appreciate you speaking up because there is a lot of manipulation online and you have to be aware. I read this forum daily and get tons of great info from other avid exercisers. It truly is an invaluable resource. I hope you will not be...

Yay!! I just found this!! Thank you so much for sharing!! :D

Last year I got over an illness that left me underweight with a lot of muscle wasting. So I know how it feels to be on the other side of the weight spectrum. It is just as hard to gain sometimes as it is to lose. I used Cathe's DVD's and now I have curves! I mainly did it with the low impact...
