Being oblivious to potential problems I do just mix it in a glass. I use a butter knife to mix it so I can smoosh the lumps into the side of the glass and then scrape them off. I am really fairly lazy and dislike the thought of having to clean my blender every day (amazing how I don't give a...

I have been adding protein powder to my milk in the morning to increase my protein. However, it is always lumpy. I have started mixing it at least 30 minutes before I eat breakfast, and while it is helping a bit it is still quite lumpy. Has anyone else either had this problem or found a...

Thank you all for your kind words. I am determined to regain my fitness and health as I recover from this ordeal. Today I was able to walk on the treadmill for a short time. My stride is off as I am trying not to disturb my abdomen so I wobble as I walk. But we all know that Weeble's wobble...

I have shared with you all snippets of this past year where I have been sick for a whole year now. On January 21 I had what will hopefully be my last surgery for a really, really long time (this was my 4th in a year). In this surgery they made an incision starting at my sternum, down to the...

I am a turbokick instructor so I have a ton of the turbokick DVD's. The are instructional DVD's for the instructor to learn the "round" to teach in a club. I was excited when I first got them because I wanted to use them for my own personal workout too. I was WRONG. They are aweful for a...

Phyllis, I got the stent in December. While the stent is painful it did relieve the original symptoms which is what we were hoping. Since the medical community doesn't like stents to be in the body they appartently want it out NOW. I was thinking that I would have surgery in mid-Feburuary...

I have posted a couple of times about my trials and tribulations this last year and hopefully this will be my last. On Monday I am having my 4th surgery this year to fix a digestive problem. I have mixed feelings on this because it should fix the problem for good, hopefully. Anyway it is a...

I want to also encourage you to try the spinning class at the gym. I am a spinning instructor and I encourage everyone to come to my class. Any good instructor should be able to give an appropriate class for both a beginner and an advanced spinner in the same class. They should be giving you...

I am a personal trainer. I have a BS in Kinesiology, NASM - CPT, ACE and NETA - GFI and I am a presenter for NETA. I train in my home and my rates vary from $50-$65 a0n hour. I must say my market is pretty good (Twin Cities, MN) and I definately undercharge for my qualifications, but I am ok...

I was reading the thread of favorite fitness finds of 2007 and decided to pick up the Diet Minder. I am stunned by the breakdown of calories I have been eating. If you would have asked me I would have said that I am eating about 30% of my calories from protein, but I am actually eating between...

I am totally hooked on her show too. The one that got me was the lunch meat with different colored lunchmeat characters processed into the middle of them. And did you see the one where the guy was drinking 50 Red Bulls a week? It is a miracle he didn't have a heart attack. I didn't know...

Yes they do exist. They used to have them at one of the clubs I teach at, but like most other aqua equipment the chlorine destroyed it very quickly. Unfortunately I don't know where they got it. Could you call H2Owear.com's service people and ask if they know about them. I am having the...

I use Mirena and I love it. I have never had children, but was still able to use it. I used to get migraines with each cycle, but have not had a period in 3 years so I don't get the migraines anymore. It did hurt going in and for the next couple of days, but after that I don't even think...

I have a puzzle mat floor from Great Mats. It works excellent for weight training and jumping, however...like carpeting it is sticky. When the choreography gets interesting and there are any turning movements I torque my knee. I am very frustrated with it and put a new floor on my Christmas...

I have had an IUD for about 3 years and I have never had any kids. It is the best thing I have ever done. I used to get migraines every month and not not only do I not get migraines I no longer get my period. Good luck on your search. Shayne

For ACE, NETA and NASM thet are.

Congratulations on your workout room. It is so nice to have a place dedicated to working out. I would love to hear more about your floor. I have my own workout room and it really needs a different floor. I have a puzzle mat, but my feet tend to stick to the floor when I am doing intricate or...

Laurie, thanks for the honest opinion. I really am mostly drawn to it because the training is so inexpensive. I actually don't want to add to my teaching schedule. I read the board at the Les Mills sight and they talked about quarterlies. How much is it to get the new releases and keep up...

I am really interested to hear what you guys think about body pump. One of the clubs I work at is bringing it in and trying to get us all trained. I really, really don't need the CEC's (of the 20 I need I already have over 60) so I am not that enthusiastic. But some people are really into it...
