Barre workouts and Strength training
How does one incorporate barre workouts into their workout week when they also do strength training? I do, heavy to me, strength training 3 days a week. Any thoughts or anyone already doing so? Thanks in advance!

Gold's Gym Adjustable Weights Issue
Does anyone have these and did the pin pop out? I have had these for a year and they have worked just fine. Yesterday, while working out....the pin popped out and one of the plates fell off. I was able to partially get the pin back in, but not all the way. I am afraid I will be doing a press and a plate(s) is going to fall…

Activity Manager/ Display giving different calorie burns
Ok....I didn't have my display on all day. I put in on this evening after 3 hours of shopping. Display is telling me 1655 burned and when I sync to the computer, it is telling me 1860. Which number am I supposed to go by? I take my cut based on predicted calorie burn for that day. The site says there could be slight…

How to read nutritional info for PF Changs....anyone?
http://www.pfchangs.com/menu/NutritionalInfo.aspx How do you read the dang thing? It states servings per dish and then calories per dish. The calories per dish, does that include all servings or do you multiply the calories per dish by number of servings? I am the only one a little confused by this?

Those that lift, I have a question...
I don't think I need 90 second rests between sets. My heart rate didn't get up except for my one leg exercise and it took me an hour to do 8 exercises! (Technically 6 exercise....two were one arm and one leg at a time) I need to take that rest period down to 45-60 seconds. Although the first day of the program....90…

Lean Phase/Push Ups
Anyone out there that has completed or are currently in the Lean phase and can't do push ups....even on their knees? I have 1 week left in Push and have been watching the Lean circuits to see what is in store for me. I can't even do 1 knee push up with good form. :blushing: I don't know what I am going to with Lean having…

Fire Starter
Has anyone one tried the low impact Fire Starter routines from Turbo Fire? I need something low impact. My knees aren't in the best shaped and my doc is stating that I need to goes easy on my knees, less I want a TKR earlier than I should be expected to need. Thanks!

Reverting...anyone else?
I notice that on certain exercises....ie, single leg squat and standard bicep curl....the left side of my body is reverting. I am actually doing one less rep on these to exercises than the last time I did them. This is not the first time this has happened. I landed up just say, WHATEVER, and didn't even attempt the…

Anyone skip the ab routines?
I have MAJOR neck issues and don't and won't do traditional ab work. I do planks and leg raises as ab work. Anyone else not to the ab routines? I wonder if it is going to slow down results.

Cardio
I would like to mix up the cardio I do with CLX. I enjoy the workouts that come along with the system, but I get bored VERY easily, especially with cardio....and I hate cardio? Any suggestions other than TurboFire. I am not a fan of it. It is too high impact for my knees and feet.

Super Confused!
CLX Push phase... anyone find that they are having/had trouble with lifting the same amount of weight they did for 10-12 reps in the Burn phase for 6-8 reps in Push phase? I am having that issue with biceps curls and single arm tricep. I wonder if it is due to having a little rest in the combo moves....i.e. Squat then…

In between
I just finished week 3 Burn Circuit. I am having an issue. I have adjustable weights that go up in 2.5lb increments. Well, on lateral raises and the like....5lb is too light and 7.5lbs I can't keep form. I really don't know what to do to increase my strength on those moves. I don't have weighted gloves. I feel like I am…

I don’t have the nutritional guide for CLX. I am borrowing the discs from a friend and she has no clue were her guide is at. I wanted to know what the caloric recommendations are for the program? Thanks!

Weight gain after starting new workout program
I started ChaLean Extreme last Sunday....I just weighed yesterday (a week after starting CLX) and gained 2lbs. Should I lower calories? I upped to 1900 when starting CLX. I was eating 1800 prior. I am exercising 3 hours 20 minutes per week and that is enough for me! 5'5 38 years old (next month) 174 lbs (since gaining the…
