    spin bikes

    Thanks so much for all of your replies. I appreciate the time you took to give me your insights. I did look at the RevMaster last summer, but it looked so different from the Schwinn Evolutions that they use at my gym. It was pricey too. The Johnny G bikes (Star Trac) unfortunately have to be...

    Has anyone tried Tari Rose Hardbody yoga?

    I saw the dvd and purchased it in a Suncoat Video store. I only did it once when I had a cold or something and didn't want to do cardio and sweat. Ihave to say that I don't do yoga...it seemed like a good idea when I bought it! But it was tough...I definitely was very sore the next day. I...

    spin bikes

    I remember a while back that there was a discussion about spin bikes, and which ones everyone liked best. I am thinking about purchasing one for my home gym. I'm looking at either the Schwinn Evolution or the Star Trac series. Anyone familiar, or anybody remember where that post was? Thanks...

    Shelley A/K/A Limecat

    Shelley...just got the e-mail. Thanks so much!!!! You are a sweetheart. Just a quick question...people on the forum talk about trading their dvd's and tapes that they don't use. I have the Firm BSS 2 & 3 and never like either of them, plus a million more that I'd love to get rid of, and...

    Shelley A/K/A Limecat

    Shelley...I saw that you were going to e-mail me Cathe's compendium...I never got it. Just wondering if I misunderstood...Believe it or not, I have a CAthe file!!! It includes all of the rotations that I printed (mind you, I haven't done one yet!), and lots of other helpful tips from the...

    Circuit Max

    For anyone who might know, is this a step workout? I just looked to see if there are any new dvd's that I might want, and if this one is step, I don't want it! Thanks.

    Most common baby names

    my only child is Jacob Aaron....doesn't get more basic or biblical than that!!! And I always wanted a Rebecca, but the second pregnancy didn't work out. My dh actually named him, and it the name was fine with me...he was born in 1999. Had no idea that his name would be so popular!

    Any Forty somethings wearing bikinis?

    Cute suit!!! Go for it..I'm 47, and just ordered 3 more bikinis from VS. I have really flat abs, so I echo what Diane said....maybe it draws attention away from the thighs, which you would see in a one piece anyway. I dread the day when I have to put that one piece on because I'm too old for...

    What percentage of diet/nutrition versus exercise?

    In reply, a trainer at my gym a few months ago, told me it's 60% diet, 40% exercise....so as someone else said, and I echo the emotion, you can exercise till the cows come home, but if you eat poorly, you'll just be a cow coming home. I know when I was in my early twenties, and living in NYC, I...

    endurance decline with age??

    Boxer, I agree with you. I do feel that my endurance has declined with age, or the dread factor becomes stronger, or that I'm just more tired all the time. I'm 47, and have been working out consistently for at least 20 years. I used to wake up at 5 am before work, grab some caffeine, and...

    The original IMAX

    For those of you who have done this workout, can you tell me if it is heavy on step? I hate step...I just have no patience for the learning curve involved. When it's time to workout, I need to know that I'll really be working out and not tripping over myself. I just don't have time to waste...

    Spinning classes --effective cross training?

    I absolutely LOVE spinning! When you have a good instructor with good music that is. Otherwise it can be very tedious. I find it to be a great cross trainig workout. The gel seat cover is a good idea without investing in the bike shorts. I would also invest in a heart rate monitor. I've...
