Help! I want to blow off my workout!
I need someone to give me a swift kick in the booty. I am PMS'ing, boobs hurt (sorry guys), tired, stressful day at work. I do not want to exercise. I am supposed to do Pure Cardio/Insanity today. Wah! I don't want to! :sad:

Becoming a Personal Trainer...... Advice?
I am leaving my 20+ year career one year from today. I have decided to become a Personal Trainer. I need some flexibility in my schedule due to my 5 year old starting school this year and have a strong (prior) fitness background. I used to teach Step Aerobics many moons ago and was never certified, but feel that I have the…

Sugar? Why is it so hard?
The most unassuming things have sugar in it and I am having a horrible time staying under my sugar goal. Any tips as to how you do it or what types of food are low sugar?

No Air Conditioning. 90 degrees. Insanity.
The second month of Insanity is hard enough in a perfectly air conditioned home. Now, try and do it in 90 degree heat and humidity. Why oh why did my air conditioner have to take a crapper on Memorial Day weekend? My pool isn't opened yet either. Sorry, just venting but I do have a question.... Do you think I burned more…

Cathletes
I just had a really nice conversation with Cathe! She happened to be at the nail salon that I was at this afternoon getting her nails done. I used to belong to her gym and took classes from her, so we were talking about old times at her gym. We had a great conversation about working out and she was telling me about the 10…

Skinny Jeans!
OMG, big time NSV! I bought a pair of Victoria's Secrets, London Jean hip hugging skinny jeans about 3 years ago in my size (at the time, 12) thinking that I could wear skinny jeans. Ha! They wouldn't even go over my fat knees! I was devestated and put them in my closet, pretending that they didn't exist. Well, today I…

Graduating Insanity -- What to do next?
I am not really close to graduating Insanity. I am just looking ahead. I believe in the philosophy that in order to progress your body, you must progress your intensity. So is there anything out there equally or more intense than Insanity that does not require weights or equipment? I really like the body weight regimens…

Help, Quick! Insanity!
OK, maybe stupid question. I am scheduled to do the "Cardio Circuit" today, but I don't have a DVD titled "Cardio Circuit". Does that mean the Plyometric Cardio Circuit, or am I missing a DVD?

Parties
Yesterday I went to a birthday party for a friend's daughter. They had every known bad food. It was a circus theme and they had hot dogs, nachos and cheese, french fries, mac and cheese, meatballs, quiche, baked ziti, macaroni salad, peanuts, baked beans, cotton candy, a popcorn machine, and pizza. The drinks were Sangria…

Need some Insanity encouragement
I am posting today to get some encouragement, support, or advice on the Insanity program. I would not call myself "unfit". I have a deep history of weightlifting, running, kickboxing, and various other strenuous exercise routines in my past. But, I gotta tell you, this Insanity program is kicking my *kitten*. I am…

Proud to be over in calories today! :)
I am giving myself the day off. No exercise. No concern over calories. I have been on this journey since January 18, without one day over my calorie goal. I did the 30 day shred and have been doing one hour step aerobics 6 days a week since. I feel I earned the right to have a day off. It feels good. I have a little…

Cathe Friedrichs?
Anyone try her videos? I used to belong to her gym in the 90's and loved her Step Aerobic classes. I just bought her DVD, the Classics and it is so funny. Very retro 90's. The girls in the video, I took classes next to.. lol The sad part is that I used to be in as good shape as these girls. :( Anyway, I love her DVD and…

Big fat lie. Need encouragement...... calorie burn.....
Ok, I am on day 25 of my 30 Day Shred. Today, I bought a heart rate monitor. Humongous disappointment. I have been logging the Shred as 20 minutes of Calisthenics, vigorous at 206 calories. Today, I wore the HRM and it told me that I burned 100 calories. This is just completely unacceptable. The whole 25 days, and I…
