    Shoulder injury - but afraid to stop UB weights

    JJ - This was not a sudden thing....it has slowly been getting worse over time. I think I irritated it with all of the push-ups in the P90X series (I loved that series and totally miss the Chest/Back workout). It hurts so badly now that toe push-ups are out of the question, and I have had to...

    Shoulder injury - but afraid to stop UB weights

    Ok, I think that I have torn something in my shoulder, but I am scared to death of stopping my upper body exercise for fear of losing all of my strength gains. I just take a couple of Advil and power through the pain. :( I was wondering if anyone knew if I could be damaging anything? I haven't...

    How old is TOO old?

    I'm 43 and am currently going to school for exercise science. I have been going part-time for 3 years and sit in classes with 20yo kids all the time. It's really not a big deal... I think that I am older than some professors too. :eek: It has been the best decision...I started after the...

    New HBO Series: True Blood

    What is up with the camera angle in the scene with the older lady carrying in the tuna noodle casserole coming in the house? Was that supposed to mean something? That confused me.

    New HBO Series: True Blood

    I'm totally LOVING this show! I even got HBO on demand so I could watch the first two episodes that I missed. I'm not sure who is murdering people, but whoever it is does not like it when mortals consort with vampires. It could be Sam. I haven't figured out what the deal with the dog is yet...

    Where to purchase mirrors for workout room?

    I got mine on Craigslist for free (well kinda). A taekwondo studio was going out of business and they just wanted to get rid of them...I did have to go pick them up, but it was so worth it. Look on your local Craigslist and keep checking everyday. Sometimes you get lucky.:D

    anyone know name of song in Body Max 2 Warmup ???

    I think its Kids in America, although when I looked it up on Itunes, there were quite a few artists, so I guess you should pick the version you like best.

    TATOO AT 15!!!!!!!

    Wow. That's all I can say is....Wow. If my mother EVER took one of my daughters to get a tattoo, I honestly don't know what I would do! I agree with poster above when she said that grandma rights should be revoked as she obviously can't be trusted. I'm so sorry for your situation.

    anyone use/try fatburners?

    I have tried ephedra, but I don't endorse it AT ALL! It definitely helped me curb my appetite and helped me lose weight, but I wasn't healthy (people actually commented to my mother that I looked like I had an illness) and I didn't feel good. I don't think that there are any shortcuts, just...

    What's in your CD player now???

    I've just discovered Cake, much to my children's dismay! I just LOVE them, phat baseline, funny lyrics, and smooth trumpet licks!

    moisturizers in the news

    I wish they had listed the ingredient(s) that they pinpointed was causing this, 'cause I would like to check my own creams. I am an absolute moisturizer-aholic, I use them EVERY DAY for extremely dry skin GRRRRR. Hopefully they will do more research and let us know....

    puzzlemats

    I have puzzlemats that I ordered from greatmats.com (I think). They are very nice 'cause, from what I remember, they were very thick and they are reversible with blue on one side and red on the other. I also have them over carpet and have not had any problems with staining. The only drawback...

    Creatine, anyone???

    I have been supplementing with about one teaspoon of creatine a day, for about a month, but so far, I don't see any differences in muscle size. I'm kinda disappointed (I guess I wanted to look like AHNOLD within the week, haha). On the upside, it doesn't really have any taste, but on drawback...

    Any advice Re: preteens?

    My girlfriend had a saying that said, in effect, if your teenager doesn't go up to her room screaming "I hate you" at least once a day, you're not doing your job as a mother correctly. But seriously, as a mother of a 14 and a 12 yo, I would in this situation figure out some guidelines ahead of...
