Thank you! I'll check it out.

What adjustable barbells do you use?

I agree! I've worked out with this crew for years and feel like I know them but have never even heard them speak. I guess hard work is a bonding experience. :)

When I'm doing stretches on the floor, my cat always comes sniffing around like he's seeing if I'm okay.

I agree with the others. What a great thread! And, Renee, CONGRATS on quitting smoking! That is the single BEST thing any smoker can do for their health. (And their budget, and the way they smell, etc. etc...) Over the last few years, I too quit smoking, which I am most proud of since...

OOPS! "Lean Officer.com" contains many grammatical errors, which always makes me suspicious. I wouldn't rely on that site for accurate information. I apologize if I offended anyone.

I had a brain aneurysm while I was working out so nothing scares me any more. ☺ Sorry. I know that's only funny looking back now but I just HAD to post. And NO. Working out did NOT cause the aneurysm. I was probably born with a defective blood vessel. If anything, being a regular exerciser...

Anyone who can keep up with Cathe and crew through the push-ups/sit-ups section is AWESOME! I'm not there YET...

How about XTrain t-shirts? Here's one suggestion: ALL ABOARD THE XTRAIN!

My fav is "Get down, get ugly".

THIS GETS MY VOTE!!!!!

What a great reminder about going at your own pace. Sometimes I forget that I don't have to keep up with everyone right away. I know I'll be slowing it down during the next sit up/push up combo. O.M.G. How humbling! But I LOVE it! Because every time I'll get stronger. BTW, how cool is it that...
