    Urban rebounding & question for Wendy! (fit mom)

    RE: Comparison of Rebounders and G-Force Review oops, i really didn't mean to put those big pictures in the message body, I thought I linked to them. Now it won't let me edit the message. Is there a way I can get those pictures out of there? It looked like my link to the Champion videos didn't...

    Urban rebounding & question for Wendy! (fit mom)

    RE: Comparison of Rebounders and G-Force Review I'll just add my 2c since my favorite piece of workout equipment is my rebounder. I have both the Urban Rebounder home version and a needak I got off ebay. I prefer the UR for its stiffer bounce... just goes to show ya, its all personal preference...

    Amy Bento

    RE: My Observations and Thoughts I didn't see much resemblence to Cathe in Amy's clips. As far as workout clothes they kind of all look pretty similar to me. Black pants and cami or bra tops. The set has no resemblence at all to Cathe and I thought Amy's moves and choreography looked more like...

    defective dvd

    I got the KCP dvd for Christmas and can't get it to work in my player either. It skips and will not go to the menu screen. I have the workouts on VHS and I wanted dvd for the blender and premixes, but I can't get the menu screen to come up. It will work in another player in my house but I don't...

    DH not thrilled w/sweaters getting tight in shoulders and...

    My DH likes that I work out and that working out clearly makes me feel better than when I'm not. We're all happier when I'm happier ;-) He probably wouldn't like a *bodybuilders* body on me, (not that that's anything he would ever need to worry about!) but I think that would be based on how it'd...

    Diana Gabaldon

    I missed this post, saw it in a search so I'm a little late. I love the outlander series too! It's my all time favorite series. I have read through book 6 and Lord John and the Private Matter which isn't really linked to the outlander series. I heard that Snow and Ashes was the last book in the...

    Large pores

    AHA's are the gycolic, lactic, fruit, and mandellic acids. They are the acids used in peels because they loosen the surface skin. The only BHA I know of is salicylic acid. It works differently than the AHA's, and shouldn't cause any peeling. It is oil soluable and gets deeper in the pores...

    Rebounder...

    You need a rebounder with a pretty firm bed to be able to jump as fast as most cardio videos. The Urban Rebounder has a firm bed. One trick to keeping a faster tempo on the rebounder is to be sure and jump down rather than up. If you keep a slight bend in your knees and keep the motion down into...

    Large pores

    I was going to say any 2% salicylic acid product. They say that even those cheap drug store cleansing pads are ok, but I would get the cleanest formula I could find. All you want id the 2% SA, not all the rest of the junk in the ingredients list. This is the one I use...

    Rebounder...

    I don't know which rebounder is in the infomercial but I bought a Urban Rebounder a few years ago from them using a special they had on the website. I paid $99 and got 6 DVD's and a folding rebounder with a stability bar and carrying case. I don't use the bar or case. I think the rebounder is...

    Bedtime snacks

    I work out in the evenings too. I usually have a protien and frozen fruit blender drink when I'm done working out, it hits the spot just right. The protien powder I have this time is called AfterMax Recovery Drink or something like that. It makes me grin every time, because if Cathe was ever to...

    I got LUCKY!

    > I'm quite proud of the >shopping "skills" I have acquired!:-) It's the thrill of the hunt! Finding a bargain is one of lifes pleasures. Speaking of... if you know your jean style and size you can often find new with tags jeans on ebay for a fraction of the price. I have no idea where...

    Children invited or not invited to wedding - etiquette

    I agree with both sides presented here. Your wedding should be everything you want it to be. If having kids there would ruin some aspects for you then it's your option to request that they not come. You have to accept that people may choose not to attend to your wedding though. How important...
