    ADVICE NEEDED ABOUT SHOULDER ISSUES

    Iris -- I don't have calcium deposits but I have two tears in my right shoulder that recently flared up. Shoulder injuries are tricky. I would advise you to see a PT, but don't continue with the PT beyond a visit or two if you're not getting injury-specific and individualized attention...

    My Nutrition

    I purchased one month of nutrition support earlier this evening and began using it immediately. I had no problems and was very happy for about 45 minutes. Then I executed a command I'd used before and suddenly I was told I did not have access to the program. I logged out and logged back in...

    Vertical Weight Rack - dumbbell types?

    Lori Ann -- I haven't been able to be online since I sent my message on New Year's Day, so apologies for this belated thank you for your helpful comments. I've measured my dumbbells and all of the larger cast iron ones have handles at least 5" long. The lighter ones (beginning with 8s)...

    Anyone else having a sound problem?

    Yes, I am having the same problem! I put B&G in my disc player on Monday night when I got home from work, and there was lovely video but no sound. I put the disc in my computer and it played fine. I have to add that my disc player has had problems playing newer discs I've gotten from...

    Requests for a travel workout come up frequently. It seems like such a great idea, and Cathe would come up with a great one!

    Yoga or Pilates

    Sherie -- I would recommend a book and not a DVD. (There are plenty of DVD recommendations elsewhere.) The book is not currently in print but it's easy to get used on Amazon.com for a few bucks. It's by Jean Couch and called "Runner's World Yoga Book". It's very approachable, Western...

    Any money advisors in the house?

    It's true that a balanced mutual fund is less risky than a fund that is 100% stock. And it's pretty easy to cash out of most mutual funds. However, the most important thing to understand here is that you can lose money in a balanced mutual fund if the stock market declines OR if interest rates...
