    Cardio Kicks...for the choreographically challenged?

    Hi all, You have my curiosity up about this tape, but in all honesty, my attempts at advanced choreography have so far left me looking like a cartoon character all wound around myself. (Karen Voight and the Firm are up my choreography alley, if that tells you anything -- and I'm sure it...

    The Great Monthly Bloat Fest :o/

    I'm 34 and... I've never heard of the calcium thing...I'll look into it. I have tried an herbal supplement given to me by my mom that's supposed to work wonders for these symptoms, but they didn't do a thing for me. :o/ You'll notice that daily supplements were missing from my "healthy...

    The Great Monthly Bloat Fest :o/

    Hi gals... Ok, I'm thinking if you can't help, at least, perhaps, you can commiserate....:o) I exercise 6 days per week, eat a balanced, low-fat, moderate sodium diet (a light sprinkling here and there,) and drink a minimum of 64 oz. of water per day. And round about 8 days after the start of...

    for those interested in the milk sub. discussion...

    have you noticed.... a difference in the flavor between the stuff in the "boxes" and that in the half-gallons (of the vanilla?) I bought the latter a couple of days ago, and my daughter and I think it tastes completely different... not nearly as yummy. Just wondering if it's in *both* of our...

    for those interested in the milk sub. discussion...

    I bought some vanilla Soy Dream soy milk (from the same co. that makes my daughter's rice milk,) and not only is it "bearable," it's downright *yummy*! (She's giving up her rice milk for it.. that has to say something. :o)) And, it's very nutritious. I may just give up the moo juice! Just...

    stretching?

    Shoes I hadn't even *thought* of the landing/striking pattern thing...I was thinking only in terms of support and shock absorbancy. Thanks for the head's up! Thanks for creating this great community, too.. It's been a real blessing. I've learned a bunch! Cynthia

    stretching?

    water & shoes Thanks! I am actually eyeing some Ryka's... but trying to decide if I should sell the car or my wedding ring for the money! :op (Little out of my ballpark...) Re the water, I know what you mean about it being hard...I had always *dreaded* drinking a ton of water. I realized...

    What should I eat before A.M. strength training?

    question about shakes... I've been wanting to find a drink/shake for those "running out the door" days, but I want it to be as nutrition-packed as possible. I've never heard of these shakes either; all I've found are soy ones (which I just don't think I could stomach.) My husband bought...

    stretching?

    On shoes (including a question for you pros :o) ) and water.... The timing of this thread is amazing... I was trying to explain the "numbness" thing to my husband last night, but couldn't put my finger on the right words to describe it. I don't have it in my feet, but it started in one side of...

    Diet

    how about rice milk? My daughter is allergic to milk (I call it "sensitive;" the naturopath calls it "allergic.") She drinks Rice Dream vanilla rice milk w/ calcium and Pacific cocoa rice milk. She likes it fine. Rice Dream also has frozen desserts that she actually thinks are *yummy*! I...

    My husband is doing my workout tapes!

    lol! Oh noooo.... He isn't doing Cathe's tapes! (Even as I type, I can see him in my mind's eye, gasping for air and saying words he hasn't used in 10 years...) :o) He'll get there, though... I was watching him a couple of nights ago, and was *amazed* how far he'd come. He may live to tell...

    Anyone near Vancouver, WA?

    Ok..now I've got a fix on it..:o) Hi again Lora, I haven't had a chance to check your links yet, but I definitely will. I'll bet it's beautiful up there! Runner I *wish*... I've never been able to run because of my knees. I'm looking forward to that changing one day, though. I'm feeling...
