    TTOM Help

    Taste testing can also be due to a low amount of iron and selenium. If you keep a food diary go back threw and see how much iron and other minerals your getting before TTOM, if you find something that's low make sure you boost it up a little bit more before the next one and see if that helps...

    Personal Training Certification

    For Ace it's not so much of human physiology or anatomy, there are only 2-3 questions on the whole test that cover either, you can skip both and still have a very high score. It's more about rules you need to follow how to calculate body fat, calorie needs, how to read the nutrition label on...

    Am I a sentimental crackpot?

    Nope your not a sentimental crackpot, though I don't get sentimental over cars, my father loved to trade and buy cars, it was a royal pain in the bottom when I was growing up. I never knew what to look for in the parking lot after school as to what car that day I'd be pick up in. I think we...

    Embarrassing Stretch Marks

    Also the laser treatment that you can get done on stretch marks just turns the red ones to white ones. All it does is like a fast fade, nothing more. So it's really a waste of money, as they'll do that over time anyway. I got stretch marks from a medicine, it was used for kids who had asthma...

    Sports Bras

    I like Delicate's sport bra at JCPenny's very supportive, you don't show threw and it actually makes you look like your normal chest, instead of flat, and it's very good for high impact, I haven't had a problem and I'm generally very sentive to that. JCPenny's is having a sale on bras right...

    What do you all do when DVD skips/freezes

    Also be careful with the water if it's city water it can have fluoride or chlorine or both in it. Both are bad for the DVD surface and can harm it. I did this unknowingly to a DVD while back and it played for a while after that, but when you flipped it back and forth in the like your could see...

    Speed training for a young teenager

    hmm I'm wondering if his quads are getting missed in his workouts, or if they are the ones that need to be stretched along with the hamstrings. Quads are the muscles on the top of leg. Quads are sometimes easy to miss while working out, unless doing any of Cathe's leg workouts, but depending on...

    Are Protein Shakes Necessary?

    As Kathryn said our bodies can only use so much protein, then it turns into fat or gets toss out the back door. The only true way I know how to check to see if we are geting enough protein besides some odd high priced test. Is not so nice, basically to see if your poo floats or sinks. You...

    Speed training for a young teenager

    Hi I'm not Cathe, but you might want to try her StetchMax for your son. It's a very good full body stretch program and he could repeat the stretches he needs from it to stretch out his hips and hamstrings. A lot of young kids around that age, can buff up but their stretching is very limited...

    So how strange am I?

    When we owned on auto shop we had mice all over, the love axle grease, we tried the humane traps, but these mice would go crazy in these traps and actually kill one another, so we finally got the snap traps and let them have a quick death rather then killing each other. We had a big dobby, who...

I really do hope they get the book thrown at them, as...

    For me the moment the step was on sale at our local K-mart, the only store in town besides the gocesry store. My parents bought it for my b-day. I was about 13 at the time, and it came with a step workout by Kelly Robert's. I don't remember what the name of the workout, but it was tough I...

    For those who *don't* workout first thing in the morning....

    I usually workout at 10 am, as that’s the slow time at the gym, and I’m just not good at getting up at 2:30 am and working out. I’m a horrible morning exerciser, though I have to be at work by 4:30 am anyway to set up for my 5 o’clock session. I generally take anywhere from 3 to 5 showers a...
