Yes. I am on Day 5 of Fitness Freak's strength rotation right now and after each workout (especially ones that include cardio) I am starving! I have a smoothie a few minutes afterwards (about 6:30am) and don't eat again until 9am. Before, this was fine, but now I am already hungry by 7:30am...

I agree Kathryn. Plus, those protein bars are often filled with "yucky stuff" that really isn't worth the extra protein.

Good advice, Kathryn. Before using Slow and Heavy yesterday for the first time, I watched the tape and wrote down what weights I anticipated using. It made the workout go much more smoothly.

Lorie, that is dirty, but I like it. :P

I just received GS and S&H yesterday. I started FitnessFreak's Muscle rotation last night (S&H chest, PH chest, Coremax #1, stretch). Wow. I LOVE Slow and Heavy! That was probably the best workout I have ever done! I have never worked like that before, I have only done muscle endurance. I...

I am currently reading Robert Ringer's Looking Out for Number One. My favorite book of all time is Atlas Shrugged. Wonderful, straight-forward writing with an equally straight-forward message. And to think, she came from Russia!:P Following closely behind would definitely be The Dark...

Yes. My Dad teases me sometimes for all of the money I spend on exercise equipment. I have no problem spending the money because I can't think of one thing yet that I have bought that I regretted. I have never gone for the latest workout craze or trend or newest shoes, apparel, etc...

I always considered the warm up.

Yes, if you are not a body builder or looking to gain muscle, you most likely get plenty of protein if you eat healthy, even without any animal products. I believe that the emphasis on protein and calcium (from animals) stems from the amount of power the meat and dairy industries hold...

Agree!

Yes, I would love to hear some feedback on this from Cathe.

I take the jackets off of the books as I am reading them and then either one of two things happens: 1) My cats tear them up or, 2) they get accidentally thrown away. This used to bother me, but there is no point in keeping them so now I just throw them away (unless I really like the art work).

I researched the Any Whey and it looks great! No extra sugar or other additives! I also checked out Jay Robb's protein powders and they look really great as well. I will probably try both. One question...is whey protein better than soy protein?

Okay everyone...what is the best overall protein powder you have tried? That includes amount of protein per serving, taste, cost, nutrition, etc. I have only tried Nutiva Hemp (awful taste, but love that it's natural) and I don't want to stick to just one type/brand. Thanks for the input! :-)

Oh yes...I also decided to order the new series along with some of Cathe's other dvds. It's just so hard not to pre-order with all the great blog updates! Anyway, S&H and GS are scheduled to arrive tomorrow and I can't wait! My fiance makes fun of me because when I get a new workout tape...

LIC is very tough. It is on the intermediate rotation, so I assumed that it would be fairly easy. I was so wrong! I just love the way it's set up, the step moves, the music, everything!

RE: what does everyone I own a pet sitting business in Memphis, TN.

As far as beans go...I hated them until about 9 months ago when I began eating them almost everyday (along with veggies, fruits, and whole grains. At first, yes, I did experience some "problems" with my digestive system. However, this went away after about a week. My body quickly got used to...

Nothing...I spend most of my time alone or with my family, anyway, so lack of a social life is not a problem. Before I started working out, I watched a lot of TV (probably 3-4 hours a day), I was very lazy, I hated the outdoors, I was constantly tired, I was anemic, my body was not in...

I am at a plateau right now, as well. After reading a lot of posts on weight training on this forum, I am doing a strength rotation next month (Fitness Freaks' Muscle definition one, to be exact). I am hoping that this will help me lose some extra weight. We will see
