We started tailgating for some college football games last year. Lotsa fun! Don't forget your prep and cooking utensils (its hard to flip a burger with a plastic fork), clean up stuff - paper towels, garbage bags, wet wipes, etc. Also containers for leftovers, if you think you'll have any...

Hi Janie - Cow hocked in a GSD may not be that big of a deal. It doesn't appear to be implicitly linked to hip problems. http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/bulletins_read/128972.html?pagen=1 http://www.shawlein.com/The_Standard/05_The_Hindquarters/The_Hindquarters.html...

Hi Anna - The site isn't free anymore, but Rob Shaul over at Mountain Athlete (http://www.mtnathlete.com/index.php) develops training for climbers and mountaineers, as well as other mountain sports like skiing. There's a link to some free sessions that shows some examples and explanations of the...

Congratulations, Janie! :)

Rascal goes once a week. I think twice would be great for an energetic pup. That's Rascal's M.O. too! :D

Cynthia - I've never tipped our daycare people, but Rascal goes goes every week so we buy a lot of visits at once. We do get them a Christmas gift, though. Isabella is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! :)

My footwear is now barefoot (summer months), Adidas Sambas and Chuck Taylors for everything from lifting to sprinting to jumping rope. The minimalist approach works very well for me.

Hey Janie - If you're doing this for the social value, I would find another class/gym. These chicks sound like ***holes. Many years ago, I joined some pretty well established step classes at a local gym and got complimented (from the instructor and some students) on how quickly I caught on to...

ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!? The policies of the Bush administration have EVERYTHING to do with the crap that's going on. Remember the infamous "Energy Task Force" chaired by Cheney back in 2001? Probably not because most of the documents related to it have been kept in extreme secrecy, in spite of the...

Hi Colleen, Personally, I think the 6 workout-a-week thing is overkill at any age. Working hard that many days a week burned me out the same way when I was in my late 20's/early 30's. I'm 41 now. I train hard 3-4 times a week (kettlebells, weights, crossfit type stuff) and find that to be...

Cynthia - She's absolutely gorgeous!!! I bet Mercedes would approve. :)

Olympic lifts have excellent benefits if done with good technique. The problem is that her technique is REALLY BAD. :confused:

Ya know...I was intrigued by the fact that KCM was doing a workout utilizing the Olympic lifts, but after seeing her technique on the clean (ZERO hip extension, the bar's way too far from the body)...I'll definitely take a pass. Nice concept, with a pretty poor execution. She needs a coach.

From the experiences of DH and I, chiropractic in conjunction with various massage techniques (deep tissue, myofascial, etc) can work wonders. Our chiro will sometimes have us see one of the massage therapists on staff to get the muscles relaxed before an adjustment...that stuff is all...

Smack 'em with a big stick! (I would kick 'em and call 'em names, too, but I'm just mean like that) ;) It sounds like you'll have a lot of support from this breeder. I've also known some really sweet GSD's...actually I don't think I ever one that wasn't! My guess is that if he competes in...

Janie - It may be difficult to get good stats on this. The CDC and AVMA did a study that looked at 20 years of bite data, but found that it was unreliable since small dog bites don't get reported and breeds are very often misidentified in reporting. The CDC has quite a bit on their web site...

I sent a PM to Marcy and Rhonda in case they don't see the thread. :)

Jane - I'm tired just reading your workout! :) Melissa started an ETK check in at VF. Here's the link: http://forum.videofitness.com/showthread.php?t=149216 Heather - Are you on VF? Registration is free.

Hi Deanie - Here's the link to VF: http://forum.videofitness.com/index.php Registration is free. :) I think Marcy is already a member there. I don't know about Jane or Rhonda though. I emailed you too, Melissa!!!!! :)

Hi Heather! Great workout!!! :D IMO, if you are comfortably doing TGU's with 12kg for 10 minutes, I'd say the time is right to move up to 16kg. I think that was the point at which I moved the weight up. I finally started planting our vegetable garden today. I got lettuce and beets in. I hope to...
