    Bellicon ???

    I have used the inexpensive rebounders, urban rebounder, and finally a bellicon. The bellicon is amazing in comparison. The bounce is easy on the joints. I have the 44" pink one which gives me a lot more room for doing things like jumping jacks. My balance is better on the larger mat than...

    Juicer Recommendations?

    If you want to make juice and not a smoothie I would pick the Samson 6 in 1 juicer. You can juice greens like wheat grass and it extracts more juice than many other juicers. I also have tried other juicers over the years. Over all the ones I have used including a Norwalk juicer, I prefer the...

    **ONE DAY AT A TIME** Nov 14-20

    **ONE DAY AT A TIME** Nov 14-20

    I got in housecleaning, shopping, and a 28 minute T-Tapp workout. Then the MS symptoms increased to where I needed help standing. Sigh. It's like starting over again every time I get a setback. I keep plugging away at it. The workouts is gentle yet tough, so I figured it would be a good...

    **ONE DAY AT A TIME** Nov 14-20

    Thank you for the welcome. I have been on my back today with female issues. It's not to pretty. My husband wants me to get parts removed. I am hoping menopause will come soon as I think surgery will make MS worse due to the stress of the surgery and the lack of exercise post surgery...

    That I should start over doing the STS meso 1? I took the test but did not understand how to get the workout card which shows me how to increase the weights. So, I have been going by how my muscle like it can endure on that given day. I am a beginner so, this is all new stuff to me. It...

    Balance Challenged LUNGES

    Thanks everyone. I use a walking stick to aid in balance. I have really good $100 nike and other brand shoes. My strength is considerably less in the left leg vs. the right leg which may account for some balance issues.
