    Anyone do Core Max barefooted?

    Seems I'm always barefoot when I do Core Max, mostly b/c I do it on my off days so I'm kicking back at home in my sweats. Also b/c I alternate Core Max w/pilates, which of course is always done barefoot. But I think I'm cheating. Sneakers weigh what, 2-3 lbs? Levitation holds are a piece...

    Desperate Housewives--what'd you guys think?

    That was Joely Fisher? OMG! How things change........ IA about Sister Mary. Why Gabrielle would be intimidated by her is completely beyond my comprehension. I was also thinking the same thing about the fingerprints--also the note from George the bellman delivered, she left it lying on...

    Getting definition in the legs?

    If you want definition in your quads & hams & don't have access to a gym, I'd suggest doing extensions & curls on a chair and/or bench. You can use either a barbell or ankle weights. For your quads, just sit upright on a chair or bench & do high rep leg extensions (basically extending your...

    Anyone have luck building their trap muscles?

    Yep, shrugs for me too--I do them at the gym with a barbell & superset them with upright rows. Traps are really easy to build b/c their a large group of compound muscles. I actually had to stop increasing weights b/c I didn't want to get a football player's neck. :o Anyway, one thing that...

    Any Jane Austen Fans out there?

    I adore Jane Austin. I've read all her books & I'll watch any movie version of them. Crap, if Tori Spelling were in it I'd still watch it..........just saw the most recent version of Sense & Sensibility w/that goofy chick from the X Files & still loved it...... And the Bronte sisters &...

    Does anyone else have trouble just laying around?

    Not me. As long as I get at least one hour of exercise in, I can be a couch potato for the rest of the day--every day, if I didn't have to pay my freakin mortgage.

    Cathe--who inspires you?

    Linda Hamilton in T2 was what got me into working out. Then Mia Finnegan was my hero, until I "met" you, & now of course I strive to be half as buff as you are........:) Anyway, I was just curious who inspired you to start, and who/what inspires you to continue working so hard. Whatever or...

    ABS - Cardio - Exercise Adaptation

    Elln--I'm not Cathe, but for me the most important factor for good abs is diet. I do cardio 5-6 times a week & I work abs twice a week (always with weights--if you want that 6 pack you have to build your muscle, not shrink it by overtraining it with 1000 crunches a day. Also my ab exercises...

    I've had it with myself!

    Atkins worked for me--I lost 30 lbs in about 6-8 weeks. Now I'm on a modified low carb maintenance diet & have stayed around 110 for the last 3 years. If you want more info you can PM me. I did read the Atkins For Life book before I started the diet, it really helped me understand why it...

    Need advice on sheets!

    I have this awesome set of Eddie Bauer sheets in ivory, bought them years ago & now they're so soft & comfy, but of course they're ivory & I have 2 dogs so they're in need of serious replacement. Eddie Bauer doesn't sell sheets anymore & I'm having a really hard time finding some with a high...

    gym leg routine to add w/Cathe - Muscle & Fitness routine good?

    Wow, this is almost exactly what my leg workout is like. So either the mag & I are right, or I've been doing the wrong routine for years. I do start out my leg routine either with cardio or very light squats on the smith machine. Then I do 3 sets 10 of heavy squats & 3 sets 10 of heavy...

    OK, I am taking my life back RIGHT NOW!!!!!

    Men & women in happy relationships, let me suggest you ignore this post. So for the last few months I have been going through a pretty ugly breakup. Not to go into details, I'll just say it's a long story with a very unhappy ending. So I think I had an epiphany this week. WTH am I doing...

    Janet Jackson has ruined my wardrobe.

    IA Rhonda--VS is one of the few stores where I can still buy "going out" clothes. Also shopbop.com but of course you have to be judicious with them, their stuff is extremely expensive.
