    Home Security Systems

    I have no personal experience with home security systems, but I've heard my favorite consumer reporter, Clark Howard, talk about them for years. He has some good advice on his website. (Link below) Two things he always cautions.... never sign a long term contract, and you shouldn't be paying...

    Jillian Michaels on Groupon

    I have almost all of Jillian's workouts and really love her. Most of her workouts are great! That said, I don't care for Kickbox either, and I think that 6 week/6 pack abs is far superior to Killer Abs. Killer Buns and Thighs is okay, but I'd definitely recommend some of her others over this...

    When shopping for clothes do you consider?

    I was looking at clothing online this morning and came across two examples to illustrate my point about pants that cut you off right in the middle of your shin. These two styles show what I'm talking about. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the pattern on the black and white pants, look how...

    When shopping for clothes do you consider?

    I completely agree with you! It's all about the line, and how it can streamline you or chop you up. The tighter fitting ankle pants you are talking about are not capris in my opinion. I would call those ankle pants. I think of carpis as anything that ends below the knee and maybe 6 inches...

    When shopping for clothes do you consider?

    I agree with most of the rules that Nancy posted, but one I very much disagree with is "shop in the junior section". I know what it's like to be 50 something and have a small figure and try to find age appropriate clothing in smaller sizes. It's a challenge for sure, but trust me, the answer is...

    Facebook Friends

    I am SO with you on this. I visit facebook every day, but I very, very rarely respond to anything (like or comment) and I even more rarely post anything myself. I have just seen enough over sharing.... to the point that I just don't share myself at all. It is a great thing to be able to...

    Facebook Friends

    I don't think that just because people are not interested, that they are jealous. Maybe they just have different interests. It happens! ;) It is very nice to be able to come here and share our love for fitness and get lots of good information. Thanks to everyone here!

    Horizontal Conditioning

    Just because of this thread, I have been checking out clips of HC. It looked so much like what I do with Bob Harper's workouts, that I had to know.... so I ordered Volume 1 the other day. I just finished it. It's tough, but not over the top. I think Vol 1 must be the easiest of the group...

    Want to change password

    Janie, Right above the discussion threads there is a blue line across the board with different links to click. The first one, upper left, says "User CP" (user control panel). If you click this link, you'll see a place that says edit email and password. HTH! :)

    How to clean stainless steel?

    This is what I use and what my builder told me works the best!

    Tall people

    I am 5'7", not as tall as some of you, but I have ridiculously long arms and legs in proportion to my torso. I know for a fact that a lot of the moves Cathes does are harder for me because of my limb length. Moves that require my legs to be tucked under me like Dreya rolls and even burpees...

    interlocking floor mats

    If they come in 7/8ths, I would definitely go for that thickness.

    interlocking floor mats

    Karen, I'm assuming you want the mats for cushioning for high impact. That's what I have mine for. I use the puzzle mats that are about 1/2 inch thick. I have them double layered to make an inch of thickness. I don't think 5/8 inch is thick enough to give you enough cushioning. I would...

    help, digital storage what do you do?

    I love the age of digital photography because it allows me to take so many photos relatively inexpensively. I remember well the days of 35mm film, developing, and printing. Back then, I used to take 3 or 4 rolls of film on a big occasion. Now it's not uncommon for me to go on a trip, or...

    Travel dvds

    Good suggestions here! I always run when I'm traveling. Sometimes I'll run outside depending on where I am. (The Vegas strip at 6am is a fun one. You see partiers still straggling home as you run!) If there's a green area with pathways near your hotel, that's good too. If nothing else...

    Can you keep dumbbells horizontally level when you lift?

    If I'm understanding you correctly, your wrist doesn't rotate out enough to keep the dumbbells horizontal. I broke my wrist a couple of years ago, and during the rehab and my journey to get back motion and strength in my wrist, this was my number one problem. I didn't have full rotation of that...

    Reasonable Expectations, Realistic Results

    Personally, I love conversations like this one. Everyone's opinion is valuable and interesting in its own right. I mean that's why we are all here posting isn't it? If everybody thought exactly the same way, what would there be to say? It's very true that it is sometimes hard to construe what...

    Need some personal marriage advice...

    Hello Gretta, I'm so sorry for your distress and your troubles. I think anybody that's ever been in a relationship or has been married knows that there are always times of stress and strife. The important thing here, in my opinion, is that you and your husband should be of the same mind...

    Uneven thighs

    Pam, I'm so glad you're doing better and able to work out again. I'm not sure my experience will help you, but wanted to tell you anyway. I broke my right wrist about 20 months ago. I was in a cast for 6 weeks and then a brace for about 4 more weeks and lots of physical therapy after that...
