    Two Pit Bulls Just Killed My Cat

    Heartbreaking! I am so sorry to hear about your sweet cat! The same thing happened to my kitty. Darwin was outside in our yard minding his own business when two dogs came from out of nowhere and attacked him. He died shortly after. It is a very sad situation, but take some comfort in knowing...

    My body thinks I'm diabetic...

    HI SirenSongWoman, Thanks for the plantar fasciitis advice! As for what you are describing, it sounds like Diabetes insipidus. I am not a doctor but I teach college A&P and Bio and the symptoms you described are the same ones we teach when talking about this condition. Here is a link I...

    nordic track spin bike 399.00

    Hi SirenSongWoman, Thanks for the tip! I have been getting quite frustrated with my foot! I have had plantar fasciatis for a couple of months now. I also have annoying expensive orthotics (I HATE moving them from shoe to shoe). Consequently, I have also been living mostly in tennis shoes...

    Knee is making crunching noise . . .

    Hi K2mills, Both my knees have been "crunchy" for some time (I am 41). At the end of last year, I went to see an Orthopedist about my knees (I was having some pain in my left knee) and had an MRI done and found out I have stage 3 arthritis in my knees. The crunchy sound is caused by the...

    nordic track spin bike 399.00

    Hi Feebee, I am so glad you like the bike! I am 5'2" as well and wish I could also be a smidge closer, but otherwise I find the bike comfortable except that I could use more padding on the seat. Could you post more details about your gel seat?

    nordic track spin bike 399.00

    It is so awesome that you and your hubby are doing this together! I have never been able to get my husband to workout with me. He would rather go to the gym. Oh well. But....great news on your bike. I am so glad you love it. I would have felt guilty (having posted the orginal announcement) if...

    spinbike tutorial for cyclemax DVD

    Hi Cathe, I was wondering if you could include a short chapter in the CycleMax DVD that goes over proper positioning and form on a spin bike (similar to what you did at the beginning of KPC). Since I am new to spinning, this would help alot.

    Any weighted ball work in the new series?

    Great suggestion, TexasLaura! I second the request for weighted ball (med ball) workouts! Some of my favorite workouts involve using medicine balls! Soo fun, low impact and effective!

    nordic track spin bike 399.00

    Hi Denise, Great to hear that your first ride on the new bike went well! I can definitely relate to being a "sweaty mess" when done. Feebee- The only spin DVD that I have so far is Mindy Mylrea's tricycle.I really like this DVD --it is filmed in the great outdoors --is a little goofy...

    nordic track spin bike 399.00

    Yep, wedding trumps spinning! I have the Tricycle DVD. I have tried all three workouts and they are all tough, but the toughest is the hills. I haven't managed to complete that one all the way through yet (and I've been working out with Cathe for quite some time!). But...I like the hill...

    nordic track spin bike 399.00

    Hi Angie, Thanks for posting the information about Sears. I did not know that you could purchase the bike there. Your right, that would make it much easier if there is a problem with the bike. No matter if you purchase it or not...Happy Mothers Day!

    nordic track spin bike 399.00

    HI Feebee Well...I wouldn't call the seat comfy, it is pretty narrow. So, I am going to put a gel seat over it. But, the good thing about spinning is that you actually spend alot of time standing and pedaling... But the bike overall seems good. I definitely couldn't afford the other bikes I...

    Can't wait to hear your opinion Hi Denise, Glad to hear you received your bike. Let me know what you think? Which Mindy DVD are you going to use? JT---I am not sure about the price of the bike over the holidays...The price seems to be staying around 399.00 for now.

    so far so good So far the bike works fine for me. But, having no previous spinning experience, I do not have anything to compare it to. Denise...have you received your bike yet?

    Where do you keep your spin bike if you don't have a home gym?

    I put my spin bike in the guest bedroom Hi MJD, I bought a spin bike (because a foot injury is preventing me from doing my usual high impacts cardio workouts). I had to find room for it (we have a very small house) and so I put it in the guest room which also happened to have a TV that was...

    nordic track spin bike 399.00

    Hi Denise It is very easy to change the settings on the bike. I am still playing around with them to find the perfect settings for me (I researched this a little bit on Youtube). But the handlebars, seat height and seat distance (toward and away from the spin wheel) are all easy to adjust...

    nordic track spin bike 399.00

    So far so good Hi Denise, My bike arrived very quickly. My husband and I put it together a few days ago (it was easy to do). I am really enjoying it (I bought a Mindy Mylrea Spin DVD) and the bike seems to work just fine. However, I have no basis for comparison with other bikes since this is...
