I have a spinning bike at home and teach spinning at a club. When I am spinning at home I either use the Spinervals videos or Cardio Coach. I think they are both ok. I just never found a video for spinning that can match the fun of spinning in a club. I think it is because when you go to a...

First let me preface this by saying I am not a runner. But man runners embody everything I admire. I always watch runners with such awe and a tinge of sadness that my body really doesn't like that motion. That said I thing runners are more in tune with what makes a good workout and what...

You guys are such enablers :p:p I have wanted a TRX for a while, but was put off by the cost of the unit and each individual dvd (and that says a lot since I have a pretty high threshold where exercise equipment and videos are concerned:o:o). I had heard there was a competitor for TRX and now...

Yep, they are uneven and frankly it kind of bugged me. But once I knew it was happening I knew to count the reps and even it up myself. It is not something I would consider a deal breaker for people on this forum as everyone here is a fairly sophisticated exerciser. But for someone who was...

Does CIA videos still exist? I am going through some of my old videos and I have a ton of these. I haven't received anything from them in years and I tried to look them up on the internet and couldn't find them. Just wondering what the story is.

Yep, that's normal. The first few times most people can't handle the discomfort (read: paid) enough to roll their entire leg. The first time I rolled (my calves were and are the problem) I broke out into a sweat it hurt so much. When you foam roll you will find the relief afterward amazing...

I have Kettleworx. I think it is brilliantly put together and marketed. I must say there are several exercises I am not sure about, and truly you can't do all of those different exercises with only 1 kettlebell. For example you need a heavy kettlebell when swinging, but there is one exercise...

I have been home for a couple of days with the flu and I caught this thread. After reading all of your great reviews I just had to have it. Last night when DH went out for a meeting I sent him with a gift card to pick it up at Walgreens. It was at the first one he went to and proudly came...

I have it and I am also lukewarm on it. I think the above review is very thoughtful and I just wanted to add one more thing. I have a lot of feet and knee issues and jumping is a serious problem for me. Anyone who does Cathe knows that you can get intensity without constant jumping. With...

Kathryn, by reading the comments it seems you are in the Twin Cities. If you ever use seed beads you should go to Storm Cloud Trading Company. The woman who owns it is not very nice to the patrons, but they have the best selection of seed beads I have ever seen. Since I like to weave with...

I would say Stebby is right. Whenever I start teaching a new format it takes me about 6 months to get comfortable with it. Like Stebby said that is with a strong teaching background. If this is your first format it will take longer to master all of the skills needed to teach a class.

I get that way too, especially when I have been working out consistently and trying to manage my diet. At that point I am usually eating several hundred calories over my target because I am so hungry. Sometimes it feels that I have been eating all day and yet I am too hungry to fall asleep at...

I travel for work on the weekends. I have to be at work at 7:30, ready for the day, not knowing if I will get lunch. Though I am often in smaller areas I can usually find a McD's relatively near for breakfast. I would definitely try the oatmeal. I really wish that McD's served just an egg...

Also, the mortality rate from all causes is lowest in the overweight BMI group. I think overrelying on external measures can do us harm to no end. Why are you trying to live up to abstract measures, developed by people who never met you, for an unhealthy population at large?

You have a good list going. I never think about those things at home, but I do for travel. I travel for work a couple of weekends each month. Since it is only for 3 days and I spend most of my time working I started out carrying virtually nothing. Each time I travel I think, boy it would be...

You can check out the Zumba website. There is a tab on the top of the homepage that says "find a class". It will help you find a class in your area at a time that works for you. Good luck. Shayne

I like IKEA. Yep, they are inexpensive and not heirloom quality, but I don't have a problem with that. I really never understood the concept of buying wildly expensive furniture that you can't afford to pass it down to your children. They may not want it/like it/or it may not fit there space...

Just my 2 cents I don't care for the Zumba dvd's. Most of my complaints have to do with production quality. Anyone who is on this forum is advanced enough to be able take the intent of the video and modify it to fit their level and get a great workout from most videos. I was just...

DM is 61 and starting to look at her bucket list. So this year we are taking a sign language class for which we are already signed up. Last year my goal was to not be admitted to the hospital and I made it. I only had 5 (I think) trips to the ER. In my perfect year I wouldn't be admitted...

Laboratory concoction, awesome description!
