Vantreesta - her Hot 100 workouts are definitely a step up from what she is putting out there now - they are quite challenging little workouts! I did a few of them and if you stacked her warm-up and finisher on to them you ended up with a pretty decent sweat in 20 min.
prettyinpink - I that that moderate is very individual and I do believe that Pahla's focus was never really on strength training, she is a self-proclaimed cardio girl and I think strength training is something she does b/c it is good for her but it is not her first love. I can relate to that. What I do like about her strength training for me is that it does seem to be functional - a lot of balance, a lot of core and total body working as a unit. I never really enjoyed strength work that was one body part at a time - like I could never get into a style of workout where I do bi's and tri's one day, shoulders the next, etc. I do enjoy her stuff but I also do second guess myself as to whether or not they are "enough" and I think Pahla's answer to that may be that it depends on your goals and that sometimes it is our brain telling us something that isn't true. Ultimately I think we all need to do what we feel comfortable with and to quote another Pahla-ism the only wrong way to exercise is if you get hurt. Donna |

I agree with you 100%. Don't get me wrong - I love Pahla. I was doing her balance work once a week. I quit doing her on the daily because my strength was definitely waning. |

Thanks for the feedback, Donna! I will keep it on my radar and hopefully work it in somehow!

I think along the lines of what donnamp said..... Pahla talks about how she doesn't like strength training and has to make herself do it, so..... maybe use her for cardio but do your own strength routines instead. Just a thought.....

I've read her materials (but don't care for her workouts). I started ensuring I drink enough water (one of her 5 points). I can't get it together to track my calories consistently but I've slightly upped mine (mostly make sure I don't get too low - going to bed hungry I will not lose weight). I'm doing slightly easier workouts (for a few reasons not pahla). I'm now slowing losing weight. so I think there is merit to her process.
