    Breaking Up With My Hair Salon

    I don't know, I think it's pretty hard to find someone new. I loved the way my stylist did my hair. I actually had to start carring some of her business cards because people would keep asking who did my hair. But she was a real flake. She would call and cancel appointments all the time or...

    How does one get motivated?

    Hey, I hear you. It's a tuff battle for me too. I consider myself a compulsive overeater and will always need to be mindful of this even during the times when my eating is good. One thing that has helped me is to not give up even when I have a slip. It's going to happen from time to...

    Other Instructors- Help Me Spend $$

    The Elvis move is not bad. He also has a crab walk and a super fly at the end LOL. All and all it's a fun video. Of course if you like fast transitions then I would not suggest Rob Glick. He really breaks things down. An instructor with a similar style is Patrick Goudeau. They actually have...

    I have Gay Gasper-Cardio Step Express. It's just okay. I learned it in just one viewing. Not over challenging. I haven't used that video in months. Rob Glick- Amazing Step is a good, fun workout. I've done it many, many times in the past. I recommend Christi Taylors Fantastic Four...

    Eat before or eat after??
