    Tight traps. Any suggestion for stretching.

    Thank you for all the great suggestions! Jennifer, I do the tennis ball and dryer ball at work. I tried the foam roller but didn't have a lot of luck with it in this area but will try it again. Bonjonbart, I haven't tried a chiro yet but I may look into that if things don't decide to loosen up...

    Tight traps. Any suggestion for stretching.

    I have problems with my trapezius muscles getting very tight. I do get regular massages to help loosen them up but I really need to find some stretches that will help loosen this area up. I'm tight to the point where I'm having trouble getting my arms in the rack position for lifts. I have...

    Insanity. WOW!

    Nope. It took me a LONG time until I could make it all the way through a warmup. Just do your best. My goal was always to do as much of each exercise as possible so sometimes, that meant taking a longer break. During the recovery week, i really pushed to get through all of each exercise and on...

    Need some family vacation advice!

    I have wanted to go there every since I saw the movie in the 80s. Maybe I should start thinking about it for next summer.

    To Zumba or not to Zumba

    I always tell people not to judge Zumba by the first class. I started back in November and I really didn't enjoy the first class, or the second, or the third. I kept going back to support a friend who was going. Well I don't know exactly when it happened but I really started to enjoy the classes...

    Insanity Recovery Week :)

    Travis, congrats on making it 5 weeks and it's great to hear that you are enjoying it so much. Stebby, we are on the same schedule with Insanity! Today is my first rest day also. I could tell a difference yesterday in Plyo Cardio, I still ended up in a heap on the floor but my i took shorter...

    back fat

    I've got to admit, I hate back fat too, yuck. I agree with Janie, clean eating and exercise and that means cardio to lose the extra pound and weights to tone up. Pushups go a long way in toning those areas but no one specific exercise is going to do it. Believe me, I wish there were a magic...

    Flea Collar?

    I won't use flea collars, and I never did find them to be very effective. I only use Frontline now (I like Advantage but we have ticks in our area so really need the Frontline.) I don't put it on every month, but I do put it on at very first sign of fleas and fall/early winter for ticks. I just...

    Growth Hormones Linked to Obesity?

    I believe the big root of the problem is High Fructose Corn Syrup also. I really think this stuff is poison and it needs to be removed from our food. But for now, I try to avoid and and limit my families intake of food containing it.

    Self tanner by Beautisol (All Seasons Glow) do you use it?

    Well, that is good to know about the perfume smell. I can deal with the tanner smell but I have a hard time with most perfumes, they give me terrible headaches.

    So, what about Jari Love's workouts?

    I like Jari's workouts too. They are different than Cathe but I thoroughly enjoy them, and sweat buckets too. My fav is "Get Extremely Ripped."
