    Hiit ... Tell me the TRUTH!!!

    As you keep on trying and modifying so that you can complete the workouts, one day, you get up and you can just do it. Consistency is the key and pushing oneself a bit doesn't hurt either! I am 52 and I still complete the workouts with all their jumps and plyo jacks, tuck jumps, etc. I just...

    Best Pilates Dvd

    What is the best pilates dvd to get? I am not a pilates person, but I have a friend who is. She takes the really expensive Pilates classes but I would like to give her a very good Pilates DVD as a gift so that she can see that doing it at home is a viable option. Thanks for your help

    Advice on taking a break

    Hi Mamajoy: I completely understand your dilemma. A little over 2 years ago my husband and I went to Paris (France) for one month. I was concerned about being able to do my workouts with weights and everything since we were not going to be near any gyms and gyms in Paris were pretty pricey...

    More risers for my step?

    I bought my extra risers (I have 12-I am tall and love the extra height) at Play It Again Sports. They had tons of them at their store by me. I think they were only $10 per riser. It was a good deal and totally worth it to me. I have had them for years now. Oh and a big Shout out to another...

    What is your favorite shampoo and other hair products?

    I have fine hair that tends to look oily and flat on day 2!! I try to go two nights without washing it, just for its health, but sometimes I cannot because it just looks...yuck!. I am constantly on the hunt for good shampoos and conditioners that don't cost an arm and a leg. I simply cannot...

    Thanks for answering Nathalie! Your posts are always interesting, balanced, informative and gracious! The Total body is a solid weight lifting session. I have had RWH since it was first sent out, since I pre-ordered it. However, for some reason, I thought I had done the Lower Body...
