I could've written this post myself! For YEARS I got up at 5am - 4:30 if I was working in the suburbs - and got my workout in. It was great! I was energized, and it was done for the day. Then all of a sudden, about 9 months ago, it's like I hit a wall. The energy was just NOT kicking in...

I tried LIC on 8" once when I was feeling particularly "fit" that day. I wanted to DIE 5 minutes in! :) That was also the last time that I ever used that step. Ha! Cheers to all of the ladies out here that use it regularly! You're my heros and I will sit on 6" sidelines in awe. :)

Well, I'll give you another angle...and a widely unpopular one on this topic. Junk the custom orthodics and gym shoes and go barefoot. I had PF years ago, and read all the research and was starting to look at orthodics when I came across an article from a group of podiatrists explaining...

DH and I take a lot of trips to Europe (been to Italy 2x). We are heading to Dublin this coming Wednesday, actually. Our favorites for package deals are Priceline, Hotwire and Travelocity, in that order. Flights to Europe right now aren't that cheap, just as an FYI, but certainly, they'll be...

This may seem like a stupid response, but do you have short legs? I have similar challenges to yours (particularly jumping from side to side length-wise), but I've always figured it's just because they have longer and stronger legs than me. Just a thought.

Ask yourself the most basic question: How do you feel fulfilled? I work full time, have a 2yr old, and have one on the way in August. I will return to work full time once I am finished with that maternity leave. I, personally, am NOT fulfilled by staying home with my child(ren). I'm a...

Just a visual reference on my part. You can tell the difference between the Cardio Club step and the Original Health Club step based on the the risers. She and I use the same step, and that's the one that I have. However, both boards are 40x14 (you can find that measurement in the equipment...

I did exclusively TaeBo for YEARS with no issues. 5 days/week. Eventually, I just got bored of doing it everyday, and that's when I found Cathe. As long as you're using good form, you shouldn't have any issues with injury. For me, kickboxing is what really whips me into shape when I need to...
