    Squat Stands - does this look safe?

    Do you have an Academy in your area? I plan on buying a squat rack from there. It may take up more space than you wanted, but it also comes with an incline bench that has the piece connected for doing leg work. I was surprised that it was only $78.

    How to keep your step from my sliding while doing cardi...

    I use my sticky yoga mat. I fold the ends over so it is not too long and the width seems fine for me.

    Question about BowFlex

    A friend of mine has a roommate with a practically new BowFlex. He can't find a DVD or instruction manual to see how to set it up for different exercises, etc. Anyone have any ideas where to get this information? Thanks.

    Cats....can anyone explain....

    I love my cat and definitely cannot figure her out. She is 20 years old and still going pretty strong. She has definitely chosen her slave, my son. She follows him around everywhere. Even when he goes to the restroom, she sometimes sits outside the door and meows at him or sometimes even...

    Cathe's Jeans?

    I consider myself curvy and I buy all my jeans from Cavenders, Cruel Girl brand. I love them. They come in different lengths and styles. If there is not a Cavenders near you, go to cavenders.com. I'm almost 45 and they look great on me. They are low rise, which I love, and no gaps in the waist.

    Kick Max Leg Conditioning!

    I love the leg conditioning drills also. The first time I did them, I thought this is crazy, I'm not going to do these. But I did do them again and now I love them. I think they are very effective in working the outer thighs/glutes, especially if you tend to be peared shaped like me.

    Weight gain/pant size increase

    I'm an hourglass frame with big legs and butt. I've been working out for over 20 years and never have I had the results that I've gotten with Gym Style Legs. It was not overnight, however. It was very gradual. After sticking with the Gym Styles for about 6 months alternating with Kick Max...

    how do you workout in pants???

    I also prefer pants over shorts because of the legs riding up. pants stay in place and soak up the sweat. I normally wear shorts if I'm just doing weightlifting only without cardio.

    Cathe, Best way to get the V-shape in the shoulder area...

    After working out for many years, I finally have half of the V in the shoulder. I have the front part, on the biceps side. What are the best exercises to get the other half. Do I need to concentrate more on shoulder work, tricep work, or a combination? Thanks.

    not getting desired results

    I think a lot of women are afraid of bulking, especially in the lower body. I carry most of my weight there also. If you really look at Gym Style Legs, the only heavy weight work, I think, are squats and deadlifts. That is it. All the other moves are done with light weights or the band and...

    not getting desired results

    Yes, I'm 44 and I consider myself to be an hourglass shape. I tend to lose and gain weight/fat all over my body at pretty much the same rate, but I have a big butt/legs. I've been wearing relaxed fit jeans for probably 10 years and last year I was actually able to start buying regular fit...

    not getting desired results

    I did not cut back on calories as I felt ravenous from doing the Gym Style workouts. At first, I think I even ate more because my body felt hungry all the time. This was, I believe, for a couple of weeks. After that, I seemed to go back to my normal. I did, however, start eating WAY MORE...

    not getting desired results

    I'm 44-years-old and also had better results with less cardio, way less. Last year I focused mainly on weights and lost 10 pounds over the year. I only did cardio 3 days per week for 45-60 minutes and weights 3 days per week using the Gym Style Series. I had excellent results.

    Anyone have hair extensions?

    thanks for the suggestions. I do use a ceramic iron on my hair a lot, but not daily. I actually made an appointment for Tuesday to get the extensions cut again. I'm thinking 4 inches will be coming off. I'll definitely not be putting them back in once they come out. I've learned my lesson...
