Hi everyone. I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with my first baby. It's a boy! I'm ashamed to say that I haven't exercised at all during my pregnancy and prior to it because I was going through fertility treatments and I guess I was a little depressed. I have no excuse for my first...

I just bought a green and a pink exercise band from fwonline in anticipation of the new workouts. What other workout use the bands? Does the GS series? Any others?

I need a new 3 day split. I only have the PS series and it is on VHS and I'm done with VHS, so I was thinking of ordering the GS series. Where do you get the rubber band thingy? And about how much? Thanks.

Hi I haven't been officially diagnosed with it, but my insulin levels are elevated, though not at the point to be diabetic. I'm ttc and this has been a big wake up call for me (only wish I woke up sooner so to speak). Anyway, I'm on an all out lifestyle change where I am eating as clean as...

Hi Cathe & Everyone, I didn't post this in the pregnancy forum b/c this is about pre-pregnancy, but if you feel it is more appropriate in that forum please move it over. I had a question about exercising (all types) when you are actively TTC, and specifically during the 2 week wait (2WW)...

This is kind of a silly question, and I'll probably have my answer tomorrow, but I'm curious. We are TTC#1. I'm on my next to last day of my 2ww. I'm due for my period tomorrow and I am having very sore boobs. I usually get sore right before my period so that's not unusual. But I'm...

Hi everyone, I've been out of the exercise loop for a while. I start only to stop again. Then I re-hurt my knee recently. Not too bad, but I need to build my strength back (in every way conceivable - cardiovascularly, muscularly and according to my doc, I need to build some quad strength...

Most everyone is interested in how long it takes to see a difference in their physical shape after starting an exercise program. I am curious about how long it takes for exercise and good nutrition to affect the inside. I was recently dx with mild PCOS (basically, my body is producing high...

Hi all, I've recently gained a lot of weight adding onto the weight I already had to lose. Probably over the past year. Total I need to lose about 80 lbs. (Ugh- I hated typing that). I've really decided I'm going to do it and I started eating healthy and watching how much I eat...

Hi Cathe and everyone, As you can tell by my login name, my husband is in the military. He asked me today if I could help him with a workout plan to help him get in shape for his annual physical fitness test for the military. He's been playing a little too much X-box lately :-). He's not...

It's in Low Max (which is awesome by the way). It's the song playing at the main menu screen and I think is also in interval #5. Thanks!!

If you do weight training also. Is it either/or? Or is pilates not vigorous enough that you can do both, as in consecutive days? I am doing a split routine now but I would like to add more pilates because I hear so much good about it. All I have right now is a pilates legs DVD (Winsor). I...

Ok, this is what I understand about strength training while losing weight: 1. Since weight loss involves creating a caloric deficit and gaining muscle involves a caloric overage, it's impossible to make muscle gains. 2. To lose weight you have to focus mostly on cardio but to still do...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if there was any benefit to doing a split routine using the push/pull method (Biceps/Tri, Chest/Back, Legs) versus doing it the way it's done in Pure Strength (chest/tris/shoulders, biceps/back, legs? Or is it a matter of personal preference?

Hi Cathe or the ED (since Cathe is busy with the new videos). Lately when I've been doing static lunges, I have been experiencing a slight tightness and pain in my calf of the leg that in the back. Not so much a bad pain but as if the calf muscles is reaching fatigue almost instantly. It...

Ok, so how exactly do you get started? I know about getting certified through ACE or AFAA but how do you get practical experience? I've heard that the regulars at the gyms are often asked to become an instructor, but is that the only way? I'm far off from instructing, but I thought it...

Is this a valid email associated with your business?: [email protected] I received a weird email - weird because I never used this particular email address of mine to request anything from your site - from the above email address and when I scanned it, it said it contained a virus. I...

I love all of your workouts included the 3 new ones, but after doing the 3 new workouts, I just want to put in that when you do your next round of videos, please use the type of music you did in the Body Blast and Intensity Series. It just rocks and it's very motivating. I know some like...

I know you guys can be very supportive. This has been on my mind for the past couple of days and I'm "letting it all out" by typing it all out. My DH has been out of town, and -- God love him for trying-- but when he says "you'll fix it" over email, it's just not comforting. I had my...

When you are trying to stick to a rotation, and you skip a day for some reason, do you pick up the next day with the workout you skipped or pick up with the following day's workout. For instance and I'll keep it simple: DAY 1 - DVD A DAY 2 - DVD B DAY 3 - DVD C and so on. You are on...
