Sure thing. I always said well of course I would grow old gracefully. Then I started growing older, and well let's just say Botox is looking real appealing right now! Keep us posted. You know in the Hardcore Fitness group on the Check Ins space, some folks report in on their food each day...

Hi Carol. A few suggestions from someone who has done it all: 40 miles a week of running/nothing else; 4 days running/2 days weight training; cardio and yoga only. Here is what has worked for me (I am almost - gulp - 45): 1. See a nutritionist if you can. Only you and a pro (or consulting...

Diane Sue you have a far stronger constitution than me on the food front. But I will try! Must say, I am doing pretty well. BTW these bicep curl weights are blowing me away! Julie Fit Over 40

Hey everyone. I have not checked in in ages and ages. But I figure what the heck? I read you every day! My inspiration crew. Today was 40 minute on the bike at 95 - 100 RPMs and Eion Finn Power Yoga for Happiness 55 minute session. I worked legs yesterday and upper body Monday - both...

Jerry I don't know you at all, but thought I would say that my version is "God never gives us more than we can handle ... that's why he puts people in our life. So we are reminded to reach out and ask for help." Glad you did. Now can we all take a poll of who has NEVER said something they...

Clarissa, just checking in and saw this. You poor things! May I lend my two cents and recommend you bring your girl to a plastic surgeon? I brought my at the time 3 year old (now 7) to a plastic surgeon and not the ER when she slipped in the tub and cracked her forehead open (yes the blood...

A rare check in from me. Did P90x+ Kempo + Ab Ripper x+ for first time. Later must have a "cardio hot tub" session (: I must now get that pull up station. Kenpo not that hard, Ab Ripper - yikes. I had to sub for the pull up bar exercises. Really making strides with personal trainer...

Hey Patricia. I am not a fan of step routines so here are my picks. I would recommend all of the kick boxing vidoes (Kick Punch Crunch my fav). Also Boot Camp - I like to do the cardio only option twice for a 30 minute heart stopper. Also Drill Max cardio only option (or do the whole thing...

Lisa I am getting all teary reading your post. How incredible you are! What an example of strength and grace and determination. Thank you for sharing your story, and may you continue to be blessed with the strength to live as well with your MS as you are able to today. Blessings and...

Thanks Debbie! It is [email protected] Don't spam me Hardcores!!! Julie Fit Over 40

In one of my rare check ins. You guys all amaze me. I may not always comment but I read each day for inspiration. Debbie - can you tell me where to get this rotation you are working on? It sounds like what I am looking for. So the not-amazing me slept in, but am grabbing pilates class...

Hi all. Today I did Turbo Sculpt (the 50 minute one), then Totally Tubular Turbo. An easier ull body worjout that supplements the hard core weight workouts of this week. I hate to admit I like Turbo Sculpt - I am so anti cutesie instructors like Chalene Johnson - but these ab moves she does...

RE: Cather in Today's New York Times Article Thursday S... And a huge apology from me for calling you Cather, although Willa Cather was a great writer... but not known for her exercise prowess. I prefer Cathe. Happy weekend! Julie Fit Over 40

Cathe what a treat to open up to this on my trian ride in this morning. The secret is out: women over 40 rule the world. With you at the top of the heap. I am as proud as if it is my own sister - well, my sister in fitness that is. Beloved Hetaher you're famous!!!! And look great!!! Step...

OK a rare appearnace from - me. Thought I would share what my trainer put me through today for upper body and core workout. I am shaking (also did LIC cardio only this am). What do yo all think?: one legged push ups on stability ball - 12 each leg, 2x lat pull downs with 75 lbs - under...

I am loving reading all this info. At one point I went years with no weight training, just run/yoga/kickbox and although I will say I was less defined in the arms, I was lean and pretty darn happy to boot. I am lucky now to have a personal trainer provided by my job, we have our own work out...

Oh I am soooo with you! Some weeks I do this as well. Sometimes for weeks at a time. In fact - ready to be jealous? - I have a day long retreat Saurday with Baron Baptiste in NYC. Not a dumbbell in sight (just me with my dumbbell grin after corpse pose). I always come back stronger from...

RE: Bulimia - Yes Randie there is a "getting through this" I am living proof. 20 years, no slips, the occassional over eating (and we all know what this is versus an all out binge, don't we? pass the flour and sweet n low washed down with water). I went the OA route, and it was great. I...

Day off for me today but turned out to be exhausting - worked from home, kids home from school, running around. Muscle Endurance would have been easier! Char, an idea: how's about I send you a picture of my father's diseased lung from lung cancer to show your daughter? Or download some...

I say bike ride Char. Lora is right, before you know it it's ice storms and below zero. I did Circuit Max this a.m. and sweated buckets. Heart rate shot up in warm up, which tells me I am a bit run down. Lack of sleep earlier in week due to business travel so still feeling it. Have to do a...
