Sung, if I can bud in here...I have a BS in accounting and HATED being an accountant. Several years ago I went back to school and decided to get a bachelors in Exercise Physiology instead of a Masters in the exact same program at the University of Minnesota. Since I was in my 30's and married...

Another update. We have pretty much mastered the feeding tube thing. I am feeling great. Now it hardly bothers me at all, but I still do have a pretty constant fantasy of pulling it out. Yesterday I called one of my bosses yesterday to ask if there was some work I could do at home in the...

Thank you all for your warm thoughts and wishes. Things are definately better today. After getting some sleep last night my throat relaxed a lot and I am not gagging as much. I can mostly control the gag reflex if I relax. If I forget and start gagging DH stands over my yelling "go to...

For anyone following my tale for the past year, here is the next installment. I have been nauseous everytime I eat or drink anything since I had surgery in January. I have been having to get IV fluids every 3 days since I am so dehydrated, and now my veins are so bruised they really can't do...

I am insured through the company that works with ACE, since I am also ACE certified. I have a million dollar policy that was very reasonable. Good luck, Shayne

I am not good enough to create a link, but the address is www.greatmats.com, I don't think they are in retail outlets. At their homepage look under Athletic and choose Aerobics Flooring. I e-mailed them and requested a sample of both the tile flex and the cushion tile. I think they would both...

Shana I am with you. If this could be used as a squat rack too I would be so excited. You know before STS I thought I had all the equipment I needed, boy was I wrong:) Shayne

trish k Would you be willing to talk more via e-mail. I would so appreciate being able to communicate with someone who has been through this. If you are my e-mail address is [email protected] Thanks, Shayne

Hi all, As many of you know I have had an aweful year healthwise. As the drama continues I had another horrible day at the hospital yesterday. I can't sleep, can't workout, so what's a girl to do??? Watch Kick, Punch and Crunch on Fittv of course. As I lay here dreaming of the day I can...

I have puzzle mats that I have had for years that I got from Greatmats. They have held upwell, but they are scratched, marked up etc. I have been using them so long they still have the marks from the original FIRM tall box. I have the mats over 2 layers of carpet padding on a concrete floor...

Does anyone have any experience with this or "delayed stomach emptying"? In the latest installment of my very bad year now I am dealing with this. I was in the hospital for a week trying to get rehydrated and to get my stomach to calm down. I had the test that confirmed "delayed gastric...

RE: Getting back into fitness career after 10 year I think you will be pleasantly surprised to find out that the only people who want to work with a young trainer are young themselves. I tend to work with women in their 30's and up and have a lot of rapport with them because I can relate to...

I have watched the infomercials with interest until I heard one thing. She is talking about the need to work the back of the body each time you work the front of the body, which I agree with. But then she goes on to say that each time you do a push up you use your biceps and consequently need...

There is no such thing as too many good DVD's. I have well over 200 (before STS), and that is having sold over 100 ishy ones a few years ago. DH is smart enough to never say anything about my collection. He may think it, but at least he is smart enough to keep his mouth shut. Shayne

I have Exercise TV with cable, don't know if it is the same thing. Anyway I was really excited at first...now, not so much. Mostly what they have now is a portion of various exercise videos. Then they advertise to get you to buy the whole video if you liked the workout. I was really...

Good luck!! The first time I taught kickboxing (I teach turbokick) I thought I was going to pass out from anxiety. I had only gotten in about a minute and my heart was racing, my breathing was racing and my mouth was dry, whodathought. Anyway after some (a lot) practice it becomes old hat and...

RE: Teaching a college class...frustrated................. I returned to school for my second degree 5 years ago now and I was as stunned as you are. These kids were whining about the littlest amount of work. In fact most of the lectures were given with power point and if the presentations...

I have NASM and am really glad I chose that one. I liked how the information was set up and when I finished the test I felt prepared to go out and train.

Last year DH was so nice and built me a Zen garden to do yoga and meditate in. We had wanted to build this for a long time, but we happened to come by most of the materials for free last summer so I finally got my garden. In my garden there is a big sandy pit which I love, but there is a...

I have been wondering when they are changing the presale prices too. I am going to be in a craft fair this weekend and am hoping to make enough to buy the videos. Hmmm, or maybe make enough to show a good faith try so DH doesn't mind if the household account makes up the difference. Shayne
