It does not matter how many reps you do in your sets, it's important that you can barely make last 2. So if you do 16 reps and you are able to do more, than do more :) Next time you can increase the load. I usually have muscle soreness only when I start exercising after some break or when i try something new, after a while…

You cannot spot reduce fat, but you can shape. Once I lost a lot of weight, so I got a gap between my thighs, they still did not look nice until I started to do weight lifting. On the other hand when I gained weight and was still exercising my fat thighs still looked better. My favorite exercises for Inner Thighs muscles…

I strated it on Monday as well. It's fun!

Another trick to promote muscular hypertrophy is to do weight lifting through muscular fatigue, i.e. reduce the the rest intervals between the sets and even between the reps (aka body pumping)

So, I've been trying it for 2.5 weeks and I am stil not convinced. My weight has not changed, my upper body looks more toned, my lower body has not changed. So it seems that 3 worouts a week is not enough (and it was one of the reasons I bought it). The first workout (Samba) is fun, and makes you excersise almost each…

Free weights!

I attended vibration training class many many years ago and I lost about 5 kilos after just few short workouts and it also was very good for stretching (after a couple of workouts I could do a split, but I was quite flexible back then to begin with). But the workouts were making me sick (like motion sickness), so I…

From my own experience the best way to loose weight and get toned body is to do both weight lifting and cardio. Moreover, when I did weight lifting only the results were better vs cardio only (of course, you have to make sure that you burm more calories than you eat). You won't get bulky from weight lifting 2-3 times a day…

After 1 week I am still struggling with the steps. I thought I learned them, but I cannot do some of the steps right fast. How long did take for you to do steps fast and properly? And did you start to loose weight after the first week? My weight lost sp far is zero. Actually, I gained 0.5 lbs...

I tried 3 different models of Moving Comfort - Endurance Racer, Maia and I don't remember the third one (maybe Juno?) The one that had most padding if I remember correctly was Maia, but I am not 100% sure. I don't mind if people in gym might suspect that I have nipples, all I want in my sport bra is excellent support and…

I am 34DD and my favorite bra is Champion Spot Comfort High Support, but I had to buy 36D, it fit me better than 34DD, 34DD was too small. The second favorite is Under Armour, but Champion fits me much better. A lot of women praise Moving Compfort, I tried it at the store and found horrible (way too much padding).

I love this website! They also have uploaded all their videos on youtube. My favorites are "Weight Training for Weight Loss" and "Low Impact Cardio for the Beginners"

You will have to increase your weights so it takes a lot of effort to do the last couple repetitions of a set, and some people recommend to choose the load that won't allow you complete the last set with this load (and then you switch to a lighter weight and finish your set). With time you'll find out that the weight you…

I never looked for anything "Brazil", I just came across a review which claimed that it's a very efficient workout and people of different fitness level and ages can do it. And I liked the videos on youtube, so I assumed it would be a workout with a lot of bodyresistance and bodyweight training + low impact cardio.…

I have huge thighs with saddlebags and I was very reluctant to sterts weight training because I was afraid to get my thighs even bulkier. I managed to burn a lot of fat through the dieting and cardio, but it did not change my body proportions, the legs became much slimmer but they looked relatively fat. So I tried squats…

I am totally with you. I like to do things in my own pace and this is the reason I avoid group classes at gym. I like to go to gym with my husband though (don't remeber when we did it last time) . As for walking/jogging/running I definetely like to do it alone.

dchtrnsp, so did you do only 3 x 30' a week to achieve such results, or you did something else on top of it?

Thank you! I will keep you updated, but I am not sure I'll keep the DVD. Even in my best shape I have very low aerobic endurance, so cardio workouts don't work well for me. I mean, I do cardio, but I alwasy have to start slowly, gradually increasing pace and time so cardio worouts never do much for me in terms of loosing…

posted twice by mistake :)

I've just received the DVD yesterday. I have my doubts about the program, because I usually don't trust products that can be baught from one particular site only. I tried it out yesterday and got stuck at the instructions. Katia Luna does not break down the steps very well and I found them rather complicated. They are not…
