    Weird Dreams

    All these dreams are so funny! I have this very involved, recurring anxiety dream (I am 29): I dream that I find out one day that it turns out due to some fluke, I never actually graduated from high school, which in turn makes my Bachelors Degree null and void. So I have to go back to high...

    does this irritate ANYbody else, but me?

    Me neither, and I do RS all the time...I'm usually concentrating so hard on not tripping and falling during those moves that I guess I don't hear the music in that part... I LOVE the music on RS though.

    Pets & exercise

    My roommate's cat Lou always sits against this one portion of my wall and stares at me like, 'what is she doing? What a freak!' while I workout. When I do pushups, he comes and curls up under my chest so that every time I dip down I squash him. And does he take the hint and leave? No! He also...

    Does anyone else hate cardio machines?

    I loathe those machines, I sometimes go to the gym to keep my roomate company (instead of doing a Cathe tape) and the only perk is that there are individual tv sets in all the cardio machines so you can watch tv while you plod along on the treadmill. Plod plod plod. I'm totally with you. Why do...

    Sorry to rant...

    I don't think any of these women who have posted are ungrateful for their mothers, but some people's relationships with their moms are worse than others. I think it is ok to rant and rave about the insensitive and sometimes subtley cruel things mothers say to daughters, and possbile to do so...

    RE: Walk It Down, Talk It Down Also Donna I would guess that most people who see you will think "Man, I should be doing that..." and drive off feeling guilty...not thinking bad things about you. You'll be an inspiration!

    LAST EDITED ON Jul-11-02 AT 01:40PM (Est)[p]I read something on the Powerstrike web page and the Italian woman is a blackbelt in karate, a brown belt in another martial art and also studies kickboxing, so she is definitely an expert in form. I LOVE Cathe but would say that her form is more for...

    How was I to know that Circuit Max....

    RE: Falling In Love Again With Circuit Max . . . Hey Cyberfit, I do CM and CK in a pretty small space, I just don't do all the traveling moves. You can do them without a lot of space. I do them in my bedroom, you can modify enough to make up for lack of space... Thought I'd give you hope ;)

    ANYBODY ELSE REALLY TIGHT??

    LAST EDITED ON Jun-28-02 AT 02:57PM (Est)[p]Hi Janice, I could totally be you, minus the back pain. I can touch my toes well (like you) but that is it - that is the only area where I've seen major flexibility improvements, the hamstrings. What is REALLY bad for me is my inner thigh/hip/groin...

    Which is better jogging or cycle classes??

    Hi Trevor, Thanks. Practice sprinting. I was hoping you wouldn't say that ;). After reading your post I realized that I do take smaller steps when sprinting short distances because I worry about not being able to stop and change direction to do the sprint on the way back. I'll give your...
