Wow! That's a really cool objective Anja! A mountain bike? Is it unpaved? I really don't have any suggestions, except that you might want to google Chris Carmichael who was Lance Armstrong's trainer. I think he has written books on bicycling and endurance training. Good luck! Amy

Emma, I have high insteps which are falling. So, I relate all too well. Try going to the Road Runner Sports website. They have a chart or key which will tell you which shoes are good for high arches, flat arches, normal arches, feet that overpronate, underpronate, heavy runners...you name it...

My husband will do any of the kickboxing videos, Imax 1 (he just steps up and down and runs around the room, throws in a few pull ups and does some sort of crazy thing he makes up using the step for the step parts), and Bootcamp. He's one of those ripped bodybuilder types who can do anything he...

Hello, I rarely get on the forums, but I would be forever grateful if someone could send me this info too! Thanks for your trouble! Amy [email protected]

>P90X - I've never been so smitten with a series in my entire >workout life (which is long - so this is really saying >something!). I will always love Cathe, but she's been bumped >by Tony as my fave instructor. Ok, Michelle, I logged on just because I KNOW the truth about why Tony has...

Dang! I wish I had known that this was going to happen sooner! My 40th birthday is July 13th and I wanted to DO something and I signed up for another fitness camp but can't get my money back now ! I hope you do this next year too and that I know far enough in advance that I can make plans to...

Debra, The blister packs are from Curad and they come in different sizes. I have ones to fit your heels which are bigger and the smaller ones are good for around your toes. I don't know how many times I've given hikers a blister cover and just made their day. I also take mole skin and small...

Hi! If you've never been backpacking before and you've never worn your pack for any amount of time, I have a suggestion that may make your first real trip in the wilderness much more enjoyable. You need to put weight in the pack, approximately what you'll be carrying for that 4 day hike. Then...

Hi, I'm from Punxsutawney. We're about an hour and a half away, depending on where you are! Amy

I always try to think about tomorrow's lunch while I'm making tonight's dinner. So, I always try to grill extra chicken or fish...make a bigger pot of soup, bake a couple extra sweet potatoes, etc.Today I had a salad and a grilled chicken breast with homemade bbq sauce. I sent some whipped...

In 1993 when I climbed the Grand Teton by the Exum route with my then fiance, now husband. It was a test of endurance, strength, willpower, and technical ability. It was the hardest physical feat I had ever accomplished. Since then I've climbed mountains all over the world and I feel like a...

Thanks for all the advice. I think I'm committed to getting this puppy, so it's probably too late to wait. Mojo is doing pretty well in comparison to 4 weeks ago. He ran last night and played ball. His mood has improved, too. I plan to make sure that he knows that we love him and he's not being...

Boy, I really like the play dates idea. I'll go with that one. As for names, my husband is good with coming up clever ones. He's named all the German Sheps in our family...Mojo, Rajah, and JuJu (they are my sister's dogs). So, I can't wait to see what he comes up with for this Aussie...he's a...

Joyce, I have no advice, just prayers for you and your family as well. Amy

Thanks for all the input. We have definately discussed what to do with the ball. It's his favorite thing. I'm leaning toward playing with Mojo outside with his ball and the pup inside with a tug toy, at least for a while...with my husband and I switching off on who is playing with whom. Mojo...

Ashley, Thanks for your input. I think taking the ball away is the right thing to do at first. After the jealousy phase, though, please tell me it gets better. I want one big, happy, hairy family. Amy

Hey everyone, I have a question about dogs. I have a 7 year old German Shepherd, male, neutered. He has been diagnosed with Lyme disease and although he's being treated, he's not doing so well. I love him so much, it's breaking my heart to watch him gimp around. He used to love to run with me...

Cathe, I just wanted to thank you for the new tricep move in your new advanced high step DVD. While climbing at Seneca Rocks a few weeks ago, I was in a chimney (two walls of rock about a foot and a half apart) and moving up very nicely until I came to a chockstone stuck in between the walls...

Cathe (and Dawn), I think you are so right about fitness as the fountain of youth. As I age, I see people my own age who comment on how young I look as compared to themselves. I always tell them that good nutrition and a good fitness level are key. As a I age, sunscreen is becoming a necessity...
