    BowFlex Tread Climber

    I have a TreadClimber and I love it. My sister said it hurts her knees though. Its a low impact machine. You can also lock the treadles and use it as a treadmill, but it stays on an incline (I think 10%). The highest speed is 4 mph. I wear a heart rate monitor and I don't have any problem...

    Compare ChaLean Extreme and Cathe

    I do think CLX can be as intense as you want to make it, I'm just spoiled by Cathe. I prefer my workouts to be choreographed to the music, which CLX is not. Since I don't actually "watch" my TV while working out, I'm usually either ahead or behind Chalene and the group because she changes the...

    Compare ChaLean Extreme and Cathe

    They're on separate discs from the lifting workouts. Burn It Off is on the same disc as Recharge, which is a stretching/yoga type workout, and Burn Intervals is on the same disc as Ab Burner and Extreme Abs. I like Chalean, but she doesn't come even close to Cathe. I've been spoiled by...

    LG Washing Machine

    I had a front loading Frigidaire for less than 5 yrs when it quit mid-cycle last year. It was still under warranty, if that's what you want to call it. They would supply parts, but we would have to pay for labor. My husband took it apart, and the only part in it that wasn't molded, rusted...

    Early Risers do you eat before working out?

    I have to take Synthroid on an empty stomach and wait for an hour to eat, so I usually just have water with my pill (and throughout my workout), workout for an hour and then eat.

    Kashi Products

    I love their GoLean Crunch cereal, but because it's pretty high in sugar/calories, I mix it in a large canister with the regular GoLean. Helps a little!

    I have a crush on Adam Lambert!!

    FYI--He is gay. I saw photos of him kissing dudes on the O'Reilly Factor. I agree that he's very good, sometimes. I'm not always loving the high pitched shrieking.

    I completely agree . . .

    Chalene Johnson's Chalean Extreme Program

    I also didn't realize it was mostly weights when I ordered either. I also say to try it, as I've really enjoyed it. I'm in the 1st week of the push phase now. I usually do add on about 30 minutes of cardio on the weight days. I keep it pretty light because the weight work is hard, but I have...

    ? about dental stuff, need input!

    Unfortunately, it's not too overpriced, depending on where you live, and I'm assuming we're talking about a molar. I work for a dentist, and our fees are slightly lower, but we're in a fairly small town. I know it's shocking, but that's the only tooth you get!

    Teeth and the aching....

    I've worked with CareCredit for many years, and it is a great program. Two things I wanted to bring up in case you are not aware of-- 1. Does your dentist accept CareCredit? 2. CareCredit has promotions for up to 18 months interest free. All of the dentists I've worked with who...

    Protein powder recommendations

    Sorry to tell you this This protein powder is artificially sweetened with acesulfame potassium. I'm always interested in these threads because it is so hard to find a good protein powder that isn't artificially sweetened that is affordable.

    Need Advice

    You're welcome--it's a scary thing knowing that they've signed a contract that is impossible to get out of (in any good way). It's so hard when they grow up and you can't make their decisions for them anymore, but what a great feeling when you know they are where they need to be and you don't...

    Need Advice

    My son is a Sailor! He graduated last Friday (the 6th), and I've never been more proud of him. He's 19 and wouldn't hold a job, was lazy, mooched off of everyone around him and was so ungrateful. I would try to talk to him and would get nothing more than a grunt. We finally told him he had...

    Calorie readouts on cardio equipment

    Generally, when I do an iClimb or iTread with my HR monitor the machine's # of cals burned is higher by up to 20-80 cals or so, depending on how long I've worked out (usually 20-60 minutes). --Sharon

    I snapped my band in half!

    Well, I've had that band since the Hardcore Series came out (it came with it). I did keep it in a bag with baby powder, but even still it's pretty old. Do you guys know that part in Drill Max when you're setting up for the Firewalkers (which I love!) and Cathe says something like "Leave...

    I snapped my band in half!

    I did feel really strong at that particular moment, but deep down I know it's just because I've worn that sucker out (I LOVE band work). I've already ordered a new one. --Sharon
