30-Day Shred kicked my butt!
I was on day 50 of P90X an I loved it, but it was too much of a time commitment when my husband works 12-hour days and I have a toddler and a 7-month old. So....today I gave 30-Day Shred a shot and it kicked my *kitten*! I even found it harder than P90X...is that weird? Anyone else find the same thing?

p90x and Gym
Does anyone know if its too much to do the p90x lean track and go to the gym and do about an hour of cardio? I started the p90x program 2 days ago and I love it but I also love going to the gym with my boyfriend and doing cardio or zumba while he lifts weights. I just have just always heard that you can workout too much…

Injury experts, step inside
So...last night, to be nice, my wonderful boyfriend was going to carry me down the stairs b/c I said I was sore from Jillian's *kitten*-kicking. Well, he missed one, and we went tumbling...long story short, the nail on my big toe is split in half down the middle. I have broken fingers and toes multiple times and it doesn't…

P90X, recovery drink ideas
Hey everyone, So, i'm doing P90X. I'm in the 2nd phase, and trying to play with my recovery drink formula because I'm pretty sore from the workouts.

HRM - Where to buy?
I would like to get a HRM, but am not sure where to purchase one. I have been looking a bit online, but I don't want to spend $300-$400+. So if you don't mind letting me know where and approx amount, that would be great. I have found one at Canadian Tire for about $60, but there are no reviews, so not sure how good it is.

I Think I'm Injured :(
So I was doing my Level 2 Shred this morning and during the twisty jump things (god knows the technical term for them!) I got a massive pain in one side of my back - a bit like a cramp.
