    Rear v. Front Lunges?

    What are the major differences between rear lunges and front lunges? How do they work your legs differently? I feel more unsteady going forward than going backward as I'm concerned about my knees more in the forward lunge. TIA, DEb

    Early Menapause

    For assistance with sleeping, I've tried a variety of things, some helpful, some not. I think everyone's body reacts differently so you may have to experiment to find what works for you. Some suggested remedies I've found: Currently I am using magnesium citrate (for relaxing muscles), Vit...

    It is okay to rest. Your body will thank you.

    Hey Deb, you are so right and this is a good reminder for everyone. I'm approaching menopause and just recently had a hormone profile done and am in the middle of a detox diet. The doctor warned me at the start that I probably needed to lighten up on the workout schedule as my body needs time...

    How To Dump Your Therapist...

    Well, speaking as a professional in the counseling field, I'd suggest you call her and explain how that comment affected you. OTH, it may be that you are looking for a reason to terminate therapy. If that's the case, explain that to her .. or take a break if you're not sure about terminating...

    Excercise Routine question...

    You have lots of options, Now that you've been doing a Total Body Weight routine a couple of times a week, the next logical progression would be to do a two day split -- upper body one day, lower body the second day. You could do this rotation 2-4 times a week, depending on your schedule...

    Heart Rate Monitor opinions?

    I think your choice boils down to what exact features do you want or need, and what your budget will allow. I have the F6, it fits my current needs. Sometimes, though, when out biking or walking, I wish I had a Garmin ... but that'll have to wait as it is truly a want at this time. Have...

    Talk About a Slap In The Face!!!

    I'm sorry you are feeling so affected by this. I had this happen to me once years ago. She was most likely pregnant, just recently pregnant, thinking of becoming pregnant, or involved with someone who is pregnant (friend, daughter, sister, etc.). I find that many women who are in this stage...

    Pain...What could it be??

    Hey fitmom, I don't want to be an alarmist, but I saw you are training for a half-marathon next month. Keep a careful watch on this as it could be the beginnings of a stress fracture ... endurance athletes are more prone to them. The only way to tell is to go to your doc and get tested...

    Santa Fe, NM

    We vacationed a week in that area a few years back. You have many good suggestions here. Such beautiful country. You'll be able to do Bandelier I think. The food is fantastic -- if you like spicy, hot New Mexico food -- I was in heaven. Be sure to post some photos when you're back -- my...

    How would you start w/BodyMax 2?

    My mistake was in doing the cardio only pre-mix first. Wasn't a good idea as I don't think the break-downs are as good as in the original so it was difficult to follow along. In fact I thought it was very poorly cued and ended up thinking it was one of Cathe's poorest workouts. However, when...

    RE: no one ever talks about shin pain, ankles and backs yes, but the shin is avoided. if we could start a shinbone pain group, and share stories and share help, i think we would all benefit. Cathe has Sorry, I'm not really sure what your poll is asking. Can you clarify? Thanks, Deb

    Does B&G ever get any easier!

    Deana, I agree with you. If this is a regular part of the leg rotations, I don't have too bad of a problem. However, I pulled it out of the rotation last time, went back to it yesterday and feel like a beginner with it all over again. Man, that was tough! Yeowser! DEb

    What Step Do You Have?

    I have the original club step (teal with purple and fushia risers) that I purchased in Dec of either 1990 or 91 for a Saturday morning step class (Jazzercise!). No problems with it yet and I use it about 1-3x/week. Definitely a good long-term purchase. I remember being a little afraid that...

    Sweating too much?

    I sweat alot also, always have when I work out. If it makes you feel better, Cathe sweats alot too! I think that's why you'll usually see her in dark pants/shorts. And she never seems to be embarrassed by it ... another role model area for us! DEb

    Update on my amenorrhea

    Interesting post Doreen. Thanks for the update. I think thyroid issues are difficult to diagnosis and treat effectively. I think most doctors are inadequately trained on the issue also. JMO. Deb
