Heh, heh! Cheryl! Yeah, that's the kind of brace, although they also use foam pads. Either will do, as long as there's a light pressure on that area. Give your arm a rest before you do those exercises. In fact, if you have pain now, I wouldn't do anything for a few weeks. I think those...

Dear Cheryl, don't take it personally!!! :-) I was diagnosed with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) earlier this year. I went to a sports doctor who gave me a cortisone shot and an elbow brace. He told me I could keep on working out with it if I used really light weight workouts rather...

>Oh wow, that is funny! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one >that falls off the wagon every now and then. Me, either!

I just read an article about this (but I can't find the link!) but it said one thing women can do to strengthen the knee is to improve their hamstrings and calf muscles as well as their quadriceps, that all three muscle groups support and protect the knee.

I think you misunderstand Atkins, or perhaps your sister and niece are not following Atkins--they just THINK they're following it. Atkins is easy, doesn't consume a lot of time or money (unless you buy all the expensive fake low-carb food coming out now) and allows a HUGE variety of...

I've started saying, "Double-knot those laces and get ready to go!" (from Imax2) although I think I've somehow mangled what she really said. I guess I should pay better attention the next time I do that title.

I did Imax2 a couple of times before I realized that Cathe was telling us to do "Tuck Jumps," not "TOUGH Jumps." Well, they are TOUGH for me!

DawnA, you and I must've been separated at birth. Those are all the things I've found difficult, too.

Thanks, Michele, I will always be grateful for gentle corrections! A quick run-through of sites devoted to celiac disease also mention that if a person goes on a gluten-free diet BEFORE a confirmed diagnosis, then gluten antibodies will not appear in subsequent bloodtests and the disease...

All the more reason to cut out the gluten. If you have antibodies in your blood, your body is fighting something! Remove the cause of the antibodies and you will be better able to fight off other threats. An army doesn't do well fighting two (or more) fronts. If you're worried about the...

RE: For those of you who have most if not all of the DV... I first bought videos piecemeal. Then I bought a bunch to get a discount. Then I threw all caution to the wind, sold almost all my videos on eBay and bought one of the DVD bundles. Then I got into presales. That's the best way...

Here's a vote for Sonlight curriculum! It's like a big smorgasboard: you pick and choose what you need to fit your schedule. We've been homeschooling for 6 years; the first 3 I flopped around with all sorts of curricula. Sonlight was the first curriculum we stuck with for a whole year, and...

My sister was diagnosed with it in 1986. If you had the gluten antibody I think you really should go on a gluten-free diet as soon as possible. It's a mistake to wait for full onset of the disease! ANY gluten destroys the cilia in a celiac's intestinal tract. Some celiacs are so sensitive...

Yes, you see them all the time at eBay and at the Ya Ya's swapmeet. What I would do for eBay would be to do a search like this: "Cathe Friedrich" "Rock Bottoms" complete with the quotation marks. I'd mark the "search titles AND description" box. When the search comes up empty, look for...

If you go to the order online page, the videos are listed in order of release, with the release dates to the right of the screen. Unfortunately, only the videos still in production are listed. Titles like "Step n Motion 2" or "Rock Bottoms" are not.
