    Need to vent a little.....

    So true!! As maddiesmum said: "This is the age when the natural arrogance and over self-confidence that men grow up with does them a terrific disservice." Yup, and the word geezer is perfect.

    Fit Tower Legs, Glutes & Core

    This has given me the most unreal doms in my core and legs! I decided to do this one first, to judge its affect on rested legs. I figured my core was strong enough, but wow is this something different for me. I was not prepared for how difficult it is to lift a leg and hold it up, and do...

    Need to vent a little.....

    You are not bragging and I completely relate to this post. I'm 58 and have the very same criteria and experience. I truly dislike having to fit into the box of age when applying for a race. My age group now is very, very small for women and most of the men in my age group are riding to see...

    Fit Tower Total Body

    I believe my dvd's will arrive tomorrow and Total Body workout is the one I will do first. I'm very curious about these and went round and round about ordering the FitTower. I hope the entire workouts are as good as the clips.

    Stopping HRT for Ovarian Stem Cell Therapy

    I use Estradial and Progesterone, both bio-identical from a compounding pharmacist. I started on these in my late 40's because of my own research and not particularly to relieve peri-menopause flashes. I'm not thinking I would want something that invasive (an injection into the ovaries IS...

    Spinning?

    I can tell you are passionate and that's the best endorsement! Currently, I have my road bike on a trainer which has worked very well for me. I went to a spin class with him, my first time...and I nearly blew my knee out when I realized you can't just stop spinning (like on a kinetic...

    Spinning?

    My best guy friend really wants one of these. I'm worried that the screen will fail, or that the streaming part will not always be available. I wish the screen could be used as a computer, I would buy it if it was interchangeable. Forgot to add... Who-ever wrote that article implying one...

    Encouraging Article

    The comments were disheartening, instead of looking at the overall achievement of this woman who is not only strong and can take care of herself, but inspiring women of all ages they too can lift weights. I cannot understand why people are so critical towards women. If she was a *man* I...

    Clean Eating?

    Why didn't she want you to use whey? Usually, the only time I eat oatmeal (with in-season fruit and honey) is before I have a two-three hour ride scheduled. Resistant starch works amazingly well for me on those longer hauls. What and when I eat is not comparable to the above, and wouldn't...

    Fit Tower assembly question

    I just assembled my Fit Tower. First off, this came extremely well-packed. It took WAY longer for me to *un-pack* it then to put it together. The paint job is superb, not one scratch or bubble and the welds are very well done. The padded bar moves up and down smoothly, I have no problems...

    ? About the FT Total Body workout

    That is perfect, because I want to use different areas of my gym with these workouts. I plan on subbing my heavy short springs on my reformer tower for any band work. I'm really happy that aqua girl asked that question, I was wondering the same thing. I have a low to the ground BodySolid...

    The Fit Tower

    I ordered on June 6th and I got the Fit Tower yesterday night (June 13th) and still haven't opened the box up. I think that is quick shipping for such a heavy item. Their customer service is good too, answered the phone when I called without having to go through the ubiquitous "press this...

    Washing Machines and Dishwashers

    They have been making them there since 1908!! I love Wisconsin, you are right next to me (Minnesota) I'm there several times a year riding some of my favorite trails. My avatar is a photo from a November ride at Namekagen cluster trails in the Cable area. This is what I'm afraid of, that...

    Washing Machines and Dishwashers

    My next washer and drier will be a Speed Queen set. I have had my Maytag (top loading) machines since 1996, took me right through the era of front loaders and all the newer models that even weigh the load and figure out how much water. I want to be able to open the top lid when I want, soak...

    Doing STS without the DVDs?

    I rotate between the dvds and paper. I love LOVE the music in STS, especially the opener, just wakes me up. Usually i will do one full rotation with the dvd's, followed by a few months break and then will do them on paper. The paper workout for me is modified to other pieces of equipment in...
