    My Boyfriend Did Kick, Punch and Crunch Yesterday...

    Well, I've seen a 6'2" man attempt it (my husband), but it didn't go very well. He now substitutes something else! I managed to keep a straight face.

    Low or no impact workouts?

    Kettlebell workouts are high intensity without impact. If you're interested, do a search for threads on the subject. There have been a lot of them lately. Good luck healing that fracture!

    My Boyfriend Did Kick, Punch and Crunch Yesterday...

    Did he do the ab workout -- the inverted pikes on the ball?

    Workout Shoe 911

    And I love the pair of Ryka Assist XTs that I just got from Zappos! I had to return the first pair and order up a half size, but I think my feet are borderline, so maybe it's me and not the shoe. But these are so comfy and supportive... and on sale, too!

    40s Spring into action 19/04

    P.S. Hi, Lisa! You and I were writing at the same time, but you posted first! That's funny about your DH! I was griping about having gained weight and he mistakenly added ten pounds to the number I'd told him the day before! :eek: I know I've gained, but he made it 16 pounds instead of 6...

    40s Spring into action 19/04

    Ronne, you're back! We were afraid you'd been unable to get home because of the volcano! Welcome back. I did Powerstrike 5 this morning. I was just too tired to do much more than that. DH and I did one of the Insanity workouts (I can never remember the names) on Saturday, and MuscleMax...

    Carnival v. Royal Caribbean...with kids?

    I've been on quite a few cruises on each cruise line. I think I'd choose RC over Carnival. Regarding itinerary: I enjoy having a day at sea, rather than going to a port every day. You don't have to get off the ship (we've skipped a couple, for different reasons), but there is less to do on...

    Friday! Love it! Hi, girls! I'm happy that it is Friday and the weather is beautiful! Not insane today. Instead, I did AOS Santa Monica kettlebell/rope workout. I really like that workout (obviously, since I do it several times a week). Tomorrow is weigh-in day, and I'm scared to step on the...

    No Phone Zone for me!

    No need for me... I don't need to sign up -- I don't talk and drive or text and drive. It's really not because I have great self-control; it's just that I can't see well enough without my reading glasses to dial or text! :D But seriously, it is very dangerous -- even using a hands-free...

    Almond Milk

    I use it for protein shakes. I've never cooked with it, though. I like the taste much better than the taste of rice milk... ugh.

    You know you're getting old when.....

    Nooooo! No granny panties for me (not even when I was pregnant!), but I did copy all of my STS workouts into MS Word, make the typeface 16 points, and print it out so I could see it without glasses! A very funny thread -- thanks for the laugh!

    Motion Sickness

    Take a very large ship -- that helps. The patch is scopolamine. I've never used it for motion sickness, but used it for post-op nausea. It requires a prescription, though. Good luck!

    Murphy, if Shaun does that, I haven't gotten to that disk yet. I've only done three workouts plus the fit test. Have you done the whole thing? I dread month two -- longer and harder than month one! I haven't been annoyed by anybody yet -- only by the flops to the deck that they do when...

    Lisa, you don't have to do the excursions. Sometimes we just get off the ship and walk around port. A couple of times we've stayed on the ship. I think we booked our own airfare (probably used Frequent Flier points), so I'd arrange them separately. I really would arrive the day before, just in...

    Insanity... again. Today was the most intense workout so far... all cardio, with NO BREAKS! Of course you can take them if you need them, but you're supposed to keep going through the whole workout... so it was really HIT -- nothing interval about it. I hung in there, I finished ,and I'm proud...

    Save the Field Mouse: The Most RIDICULOUS Question Ever Posted on the Forum?

    My daughter has a pet gerbil (a/k/a desert mouse), but she's not a baby. She'll eat small bits of apple and grape. She loves sunflower seeds (she can shell her own, but your baby may not be able to). You may want to buy a bag of gerbil/hamster food. It has very small bits of seeds and other...

    I love Insanity... but...

    I am doing Insanity in order, but not exclusively. So I use Insanity for my cardio days, and continue to do kettlebell and weight exercises on my weight days. That way I feel like I'm getting a well-rounded workout.

    Quick check-in... Hi everybody! I wanted to post some quick replies... Murphy, Insanity feels like Hiit times ten... but I am determined to do this, so I'm pushing myself. I would like to point out that nobody in the Insanity class is over 30, so I don't feel too badly about not jumping as...

    Good morning, all! I did the second workout in the aptly titled Insanity workout. Okay, now I really need a day off! Mary, do you like that Amy Bento workout? I've seen mixed reviews on it. Well, I've got to dash -- DD overslept her alarm and is still snoozing (bus arrives in 17...
