Very good. I've seen improvements in strength, stamina, body definition, and flexibility. I would recommend it to anyone that seriously wants to get into shape. I really like the diversity of the routines and it will kick your ass.

How long have you been doing it? Do you have a great body yet? I used to do it but got lazy. An hour of workout takes committment and the lazy out of your ass. But I kinda miss doing it. Someone just gave me a the Insanity workout routine, but I'm gonna do a month of 30 Day Shred first then try it out. Anyone tried the Insanity workout yet?

I like doing it after I'm done with my day because it does a great job at getting everything out of my head so that has kept me going. Also, my high school football workouts were just as intense so it was nice already working out at that level before.

that's more like it. Last time we went shoe shopping, they were all the rage....and $200 an ugly ass pair. we watched an old lady try them on.....don't know if she fell for them or not.... the "Walking Company" employees obviously work on commission, and were VERY into them.....and inserts....

Your goal is to be a lesbian?

Getting everyone to the club on a decent schedule has proved impossible so we had shelved our group footwork (repetitive highly aerobic drills). Last night we changed things up by stopping all fencing and doing footwork about an hour in. The guy who ran it used to do a fencercize class in the early nineties. I think it went brilliantly but then again we're the ones who come early to do extra work...

If you're doing squats, an easy way to do this is holding a bar over your head and concentrating on keeping it back/not letting it come forward. Or by leaning against a ball against the wall. On the eliptical you do it by reducing your incline (my trainer would say to zero), and cranking up the resistance - OR by going backwards.

Not really -the knee thing comes when I lose concentration and let it twist slightly -regardless of how you are pushing, your knee is still bending and if I don't hold it straight it messes it up.
It's recovering, though -each setback is smaller than the last. I don't do squats. I find increase in incline and resistance is easier on the knee -less likely to twist. It's not pressure on the knee that's the problem, it's if the knee twists then I apply pressure. backwards is the same. the machine I was on this week got pissy when i went backwards and told me to pedal forwards! WTF? I thought it was going to start reducing the distance travelled
