  • I did one in Grand Rapids MI last month...1st time...no flags, but you had 3 "safe" houses you had to stop at to pick up "supplies" (colored bands so you don't get time knocked off your finish), it as a night run through an apple orchard so we got to wear our head lamps. I have never laughed so much in a 5K run...they…

  • For my opinion only, I wish I had not spent the money on the Insanity program - or wish I had used it right away instead of waiting so I could have gotten my money back within the guarantee time. It seemed to be a good program, very challenging, but I get bored VERY easy, and I finished 3 weeks and got tired of the voice,…

  • When I lived around an ice arena and was able to play several times a week, I would wear my Polar HRM every time I played. Yes, I believe I do burn that much (depending on how hard I played and what type of players I play against).

  • I would say if you have somewhere local that do yoga classes, give it a try. The good instructors are very helpful in making sure you are putting your body in the correct form....something you don't get when trying a video. If you are looking for something to give you a good stretch and help center you mind, it's something…
    in Yoga anyone? Comment by KarenC88 March 2012
  • I am nowhere near in as good of shape as you are, but I was just wondering if you have added any strength training into the cardio workouts. I have not tried the Turbo Fire (just starting Insanity this week) so I'm not familiar with if it has strength along with cardo, but I have done Chalene's Extreme in the past and that…
