    Muscle Development vs. Fat Loss

    This is interesting! I actually just had an interesting experience myself as far as weight/body fat are concerned. I've been training very hard with a trainer for over a year (3 times a week). We did my body fat in May last year and again on Monday. It turns out I gained 12 pounds of muscle, but...

    Cathe - What shoes and top are you wearing in Kickmax

    RE: Cathe - What shoes and top are you wearing in Kickm... OK, called them: they recommended size 9.5 for me. They also mentioned they've had other calls regarding the sizing chart (they're going to check it out), so I ordered the cute black ones.:) Marianne

    Thanks for your quick answer, Cathe! I like the look of the Avias, so if I can get the size figured out, I'll go with them! Marianne

    Cathe: which shoe would you say is better for absorbing high impact?

    I noticed you were wearing the Ryka Enlight II and the Avia shoe; would you say one is better for absorbing high impact? Do you feel either one works well for both step AND floor aerobics? Thanks in advance! Marianne, who wants to be ready with good shock absorption in advance of the arrival...

    Cathe - What shoes and top are you wearing in Kickmax

    RE: Cathe - What shoes and top are you wearing in Kickm... I'd be curious about the sizing, too; I wear my Rykas and NB shoes in size 10: according to the Avia size chart I'd be an Avia 7!!!!??? Normal shoe size is 9. Very confused.. Marianne

    Walking Lunges...

    Not Cathy, but I've been doing them with my trainer and use 20# dumbells. I generally do 3 sets of them (20/15/12). HTH. Marianne

    tightening up glutes

    Nothing helped my glutes more than walking lunges in the gym! They give me DOMS every time I do them; it remains vital to push off with the heel, though, if you want to feel them in your glutes. Marianne

    SNM: tapes came, but....

    Circuit Max has a cracked casing and something is rattling inside Cardio Kicks; the 6-pack seems OK (haven't watched them yet). What should I do? TIA. I'm so disappointed after all this time....

    Waaa! Frustrated!!

    Update Well, after I posted the previous message, I went back to Cathecam and things were much improved: the sound was basically on the whole time and I got picture maybe 2/3 of the time. Meanwhile, what a great workout!!! I'll have to modify for the impact (bad knees), but it looked very...

    Waaa! Frustrated!!

    Windows Media keeps shutting off for me too:-( I get about 3 seconds of sound and then it freezes and maybe once every minute (at most do I get 3 seconds again I was so looking forward to seeing Circuit Max.... The music (from what I could hear) was great, though.

    Desperately seeking advice

    Hi Jane! I don't know if your post was addressed to me or Maya or both, but I think I'm not insulin resistant; if I remember correctly my doctor did test me for this (among a bunch of other things, which is why I'm not sure). I do have reactive bloodsugar, though. It sounds like we all have a...

    Desperately seeking advice

    Thanks for your reply, Susan! I guess what I'm learning from your answer is that the weight struggle seems to be related to the up and down dosages. I suspected that; in fact I brought up to my ob-gyn that I see a connection in my TSH levels and estrogen levels (as observed from the monthly...
