I absolutly love this site!! I think you pointed me there in the first place. I've been using it for about 2 months and am down 7 pounds! I hate to journal food, but this makes it so easy. It even calculates the fat % for me so I don't even have to think. Thanks so much!

Music definately makes or breaks a workout. The music in Kickmax is so elevator-generic that I just can't do the workout. The music makes the workout so tedious. I like a thumpin' and bumpin' soundtrack because it really motivates me. I like the music from the intensity series the best, but I...

My physical therapist recommended pressups for me. It's basically Cobra from yoga. It does help.

Congratulations on coming this far!! Now, just relax and take a deep breath. You know what you know and you'll be fine. Remember with your test, your first response is probably correct so try not to change your answers after you've decided. After you pass, you might be offered a job from your...

I've lived in this area all my life. I grew up in Michigan City and now live in Hammond. Northwest Indiana is great because it's so close to Chicago. Because Merrillville, Shererville, Munster, Hammond, Highland and St. John are so close to the Illinois border, there are many people who live...

Well, usually it's almost 1/2 off. That could change. I saw the presale test page and this time it looks like it's $20 off the retail price. That could change since it was just the test page info and not real info.

>What is the advantage? Is it cheaper. >what's the point of ordoring 6 months in advance? There are a couple of reasons I always order during the presale. 1st, I get the best price. Almost 1/2 price is awesome! 2nd, The presale orders are shipped in the order in which they're received...

Jessie, my therapist, said that they're starting slow with me to make sure they don't irritate the knee. She started telling me what the next steps are going to be, for example, one exercise is done on a 4 inch step and we'll work our way up to 6. I'm feeling fortunate that my therapist...

You all are fabulous! Thanks for your replies and the book suggestions and you knowledge. Today is my 3rd PT session. I did talk with my therapist about my goals and my doctor, too. The goal is to get back to exercising normally and that means impact and weights and I said so. The main...

For anyone who's done PT before, what did you think of it? Did you feel it was worth your time? Or did you feel like you could have done a better job yourself just given the proper knowledge and a list of exercises to do? I've been prescribed physical therapy for my knees. I'd injured my...

No surgery for me! Not yet, anyway. I went to the Orthopedic surgeon yesterday to get my knees looked at. I'd damaged them about a year ago trying to do leg press with 50 pounds. Duh. Anyway... There is no indication of patella-femoral pain syndrome anymore. Evidently, I am cured of that...

Thanks so much. I think I just needed some support in doing the right thing. I've made an appointment for March 13th and we'll at the very least get to the bottom of this. My motivation, really, is that I want to do Imax2! I haven't done it in over a year and I miss it so much. Delfin is...

Karin, How did you go about choosing a knee doctor? I think the thing I'm scared of most is going in and having some surgery done and never being able to do anything ever again. It's an irrational fear, for sure, but advice on choosing a doctor would sure help at this point.

Oh I can't wait!!! I feel like I've been waiting years! At least the wait for the end of this series wasn't as long as I waited for the Gunslinger series by Stephen King!

Hey everyone! December 2005, I injured my knees. I got crazy and decided to try leg press with 50 pounds. I'd been doing 40 pounds, so I didn't think too much of it... Duh. Over the last year, my knee gets better but never IS better. Especially the right knee. It shoots a sharp pain at...
