My sneakers are fairly new, but I do think crosstrainers would be better. Now I just have to budget those in--why are sneakers always so pricey? Thanks for the suggestion. I also think lowering the step might help, since I'm pretty sure it was the box jumps that did me in (that move is...

buneknek--I think you have a plugged duct in your nipple. Not too uncommon. Some helpful links: http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mom/mastitis.html and http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mom/nipplebleb.html I had a lactation consultant tell me the best way to treat these is with a...

Jen--I've been pumping 3x a day since I went back to work in mid November. It can definitely be annoying to stop work to do it, but on the other hand, I've read three books since returning to work! It's nice to have time to myself, at least. If it gets busy, don't feel bad having to stop to...

I loved the workout, but I'm not happy my knees are now bothering me when I go up or down stairs. I imagine the box jumps did it (even though I only used three risers on each side). I tried to focus on keeping the movement out of my joints like Cathe says, but I think I was too worried about not...

I agree--low impact would be good for slower days or for those with bad knees. And yes--music with lyrics! Or at least, recognizable music. I do the Viper w/o and love the section playing Build Me Up Buttercup. I sing along every time, even though I can barely feel my legs and my lungs are on...

Hahaha, you made me laugh with that subject line. I'm not brave enough to give 40/20 a whirl yet. I barely survived 30/30. Perhaps this weekend if I'm feeling strong.

I did 30/30 this weekend and it is VERY hard. I actually got nauseous about 30-40 minutes after completing the workout, so it's definitely hardcore. I have some recommendations to make it easier until your body gets more acclimated. Lower the step one or more risers on each side. For...

I can so relate to the early pregnancy exhaustion! Unfortunately, the exhaustion in my pregnancy didn't improve until 16 weeks. Working out helped, but it was a tremendous challenge to motivate myself. I'll try harder with my next baby, but we'll see how well I do. As for not noticing many...

I have a gift certificate to Amazon and hope to spend it all on Shock Cardio. Will the DVDs be available on Amazon this week or at a later date?

Hi, I'm interested in joining the road trip but I'd like to find a roommate if possible. How difficult is it to do that? My husband's more likely to agree to the cost if I can find a roomie to lower the hotel expenses!
