    Kettlebell weights?

    The weight you need depends on the kind of workouts you do. If your workouts are rep intensive, you will need lighter weights. If I am working by time (in blocks of say one minute per exercise) I stick with a 12 kg bell for swings. I can heavy up if I am doing 8 to 12 reps of swings.

    Homemade Bread (extended from Yogurt Thread)

    From what I have read, potato flour in bread makes it stay moist and slows down staling. Home made bead goes stale very fast compared to commercial bread with additives. I have used potato flour (the flaky kind, not potato starch) in bread. I think it creates both a lighter and moister bread. I...

    Homemade Bread (extended from Yogurt Thread)

    I used to knead bread in a stand mixer. When I moved from India to Malaysia, I started hand-kneading bread. I love the results, but did not make it often because hand kneading takes time. I like the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day book series for No Knead Bread. It is simple, even for a...

    Surprised when reading dvd reviews

    I completely understand those for whom music does not make or break a workout. I just happen to be someone who wont do a workout unless I find the music fantastic. It cant even be just good. It has to be superb. I realise music tastes differ widely. The music in *my* workout needs to appeal...

    Thank you very much. Do hand towels work for just strength moves, or also for the kind of stuff in slide and glide cardio?

    XTrain - Equipment Question

    "Less equipment" and "Less time options" are music to my ears. What equipment will XTrain use? I am hoping to get away with dumbbells (barbells can be subbed quite easily with dumbbells), a standard step, a stability ball and bands. I am hoping not to need gliding disks, high step, etc...

    Patricia's kickboxing core cross train is supposed to be interesting but intermediate. ilaria's newer Powerstrikes are supposed to be less intense than her original one with Patricia. I have 5 and I like it. She keeps things low impact but you work a bit differently because she works at a...

    Laura, I second the Susan Chung recommendations. Have you tried Chalene Johnson's Turbo Fire or Turbo Fan. I am so enamoured by Chalene's style. She uses fantastic music and has so much energy. You need to email or call in your order for Turbo Fan at Chalene's personal site. It is the same...

    Long Vent Alert: Setting the record straight

    Tracy, I was born into Hinduism. Buddha was born in my country. Buddhism described as a religion strikes me as very odd. The term Buddhism to denote a religion is least prevalent in the land he was born, although many are guided in this country by his teachings. Interpretations of teachings...
