    What is your weekend workout? Sat or Sun or Both

    Hi Kathy, I'm in MN too, in the twin cities. I just got back from a bike ride around the lakes (I have Fri and Sat off)...only I'm mad because I only did 30 miles, was planning on at least 40 or 50, due to sharp knee pain. :( I'm yelping like a puppy every time I sit down. :(

    Will a pear shaped shorty get bulky thighs?

    I am an hour-glass, 5' 4",but when I first start to put on any noticeable weight, it is on my thighs. As a matter of fact, right now I have about 3-5 lbs to lose...all on....my thighs! I legs are incredibly strong, relatively, naturally. (upper body... I scramble for strength!). My long...

    I'm curious!

    Ordinarily I wouldn't spend that kind of money on workout clothes, either, but I can't help but like the clothes the crew has worn in the past few series. I'm thinking I'll likely order one, eventually, as a 'reward' (well, really more like a celebration) when I've seen some good results. :)...

    Internet Weirdo's

    I tried online dating, and yep, found a few weirdo-s there. :) But, I also found one very, very, very wonderful person. :) Guess the internet is a great democrat-izing machine. Brings all types in contact with each other, who wouldn't otherwise have contact. But it does make you go 'ewww'...

    my poor stability ball

    I wonder if this is a repeat, or a copy-cat crime, of the same thing that happened in my basement repeatedly, a few years ago? It seems to be the same, usual suspects! :)

    Bad hair day stories

    how about...forgetting to rinse the conditioner out of your long, hair, going to work with wet hair (not unusual, as it dried on the way to work, I threw it up)...only to realize later what happened and being stuck with very greasy,embarassing hair ALL day long! :) Yesterday..being caught in...

    Just coming to Cathe from The Firm

    I think the chest is one of the hardest muscles to isolate. But, 'heavy' is a relative term. If you are consistently engaging much more than the target muscle on several exercises, then perhaps you need to lower the weights? Are you trying to match what Cathe and crew does right away? :)...

    Where did you get your iPod?

    I'd check out a warehouse club that either you or any one of your friends belong to. After buying each of my 2 kids a 30g iPod I saw them at Costco for cheaper. d'uh! Least I got my cute little 2 g nano, which is my new toy, for free at a training class for work. :) And if I go back for...

    cals, protein, carbs, fat??

    This is my first week back exercising (after I broke my ankle late February) and I just started keeping track of total calories and fat. I trust my carb intake is good; I may need to keep track of protein, too. Goal is to get back in shap and lose an estimated 5-7 lbs of fat. (Don't know my...

    Your Favorite (Secret) Guilty Pleasures!

    I forgot...I also should have included being happy I can buy cute/sexy-ish panties and look good in them now. (As oposed to when I was 200 + lbs), and being satisfied (enough) with my figure when I glance in the mirror before a shower. That's all because of working out! :)

    Technology Major

    I agree what others say about math. learning calculus is actually different than learning 'math' to my mind, as long as you have a grasp of the algebra involved. The theory is just fascinating to me...and if you understand the concepts (the fun part), and have the algebra skills...it's nothing...
