Hi, I know there are all kinds of people on this board with lots of knowledge and life experience so I thought I would throw this question out there. My father is 71 and has severe (I mean SEVERE) Emphysema. After 50 years of smoking 2 packs a day and never (really, never, in 50 years)...

Ohhh, I can see the dilemma. I looked at some blogs that compare the two and now I'm a bit confused also. They each have their benefits. I'm mostly wanting to use it with my kids for their art projects, so I'm thinking the Expression will be better because it's easier to use. But, the whole...

Awesome! So good to know. Thanks for the info.

I've never heard of this other one Silhouette ???? I put the Expression on hold at Joann's so I can buy it tomorrow. HUGE splurge, but I'm going to give it to my 10 year old twins for their birthday from their aunt (who is so wonderfully generous). I feel a bit guilty because I want it...

Thanks for the information. I'm debating the little one vs. the expression. The little one is only $85 at Joanne's right now and the big one is $250. I'm not a scrapbooker, but my kids love to be creative and I just see so much fun from this. I saw that program (SCAL) you mentioned on...

Does anyone have a Cricut Machine (it's a personal paper cutter that does millions of shapes) ? I'm thinking of getting one. Joann's has good prices right now. Just wanted to get info from someone that has owned and/or used one. Thanks, Lauren

Hi All, I just finished listening to a wonderful audiobook, Half Broke Horses. I think it's still hardback at the bookstore, but if you can get it from the library or find it on sale, I really enjoyed it. It's a non fiction "novel" by Jannette Walls who also wrote The Glass Castle (which I...

If they don't show them (which I would think they will), you can rent them at most video places (I got mine from Blockbuster and Itunes). My husband rewatched them all with me. He said it was great the second time around.

I watched all 5 seasons over the past 2 months. I can't wait for more !!!! If you haven't read this blog http://nikkistafford.blogspot.com/ It's by the woman who writes the Lost books that analyze every episode. There's SO much to these episodes.

Yes. I did (still do) Insanity and I love it !!!!! I guess I do take my cushions for granted. I didn't have any issues with the plyos in Insanity, but I bet if I did it on a concrete floor, I would. I did get the deluxe set and I love the workouts in it. The ab workout is similar but...

I just kept the berber carpet the house came with. But, I do have 1/2 inch thick mats over the carpet. These are kids playmats that I bought from a toystore. They are similar to the mats that they sell at home depot. If you aren't doing high impact floor aerobics or high impact step, you...

Back in 2005, I investigated getting an aerobic floor for my workout room. In the end, I didn't do it. Somewhere on Cathe's site, she had information about flooring. I requested information from this company. As I go back to my files, the information I still have is from Stagestep, so I...

Hi, I don't know if this is what you wanted, but here's what I have written on my exercise sheet. I'm not positive the names of the exercises are right, but it should give you a general idea. Amounts are similar to what I use in gym styles. Shoulder press - 20's Bi's - 15's In/out...

I tried the Shark today and it worked great for my needs. All the review say that it starts off great and then dies quickly over time. I guess I'll try it out for myself and see how it goes.

I should clarify that it's the one I bought (VX1 that has the bad reviews). Do you have that one or a different one? Oops, if you don't still have the box, you probably can't tell. I just checked mine and it doesn't say it on the actual machine. Oh well. I'm going to at least give the one...

Hi, Sorry to bring up something so mundane in the midst of all the new STS threads, but if someone could help me, I would thrilled. I have a Dustbuster handheld which I use about 10 times a day on my kitchen floor (kids!). It works great but I'm tired of bending over to use it and would...

Well, I'm an intensity lover and it seems that high impact is my favorite way to get intensity. I sometimes do the stepmill, the stairmaster and spinning for intensity but these workouts are not "fun" for me they way Insanity or the Imax workouts are. I try to alternate high impact and low...

Okay, now that you've explained it like this, I agree. When I did Hiit 40/20, I did it after doing Meso 1 disk 1. So I had already worked out an hour. Then yesterday I did Hiit 30/30 after I did Meso 1 disk 2 and I ended up doing it (Hiit 30/30) twice. The day I did Athletic Step, I added on...

I thought Insanity was awesome. I did the 60 day rotation they suggest. My cardio capacity improved greatly (and I thought it was pretty good before I did this series), my legs got stronger and my upper body (mostly tris and shoulders) got stronger and more defined. These are my...
