I often tell myself, "I will do what others will not, so I can have what others can not." Wake up and say that to yourself a few times and that should get you up. And, remember...you don't need 90 minutes of exercise to get the benefits. What I've started doing is getting up and...

Since I have three chipped discs in my lower back, I am familar with lower back pain. In fact, I blew out my lower back last Tuesday while simply standing up. I have to take special care of my lower back because of my situation, and have been seeing a chiropractor for close to 15 years. He...

I was just reading another thread, and it reminded me of an experience I had a few weeks ago when I was shopping for pants. I went to this new outdoor mall called Clay Terrace (it's about a year old and is one of those "uppity" malls, where everything's high class and high dollar - kinda like a...

I used to work out at a gym in Florida where an exotic dancer would occasionally come in. She'd had a MAJOR breast enhancement (and I mean BIG BIG BIIIIGGGGGG)! She'd have on her headphones and would actually sort of dance between sets. No pole-dancing, mind you, but it was dancing...

Well, here's a different take on the whole perfume debate. I have what is called a toxic reaction to perfume. It's not really classified as an allergy, even though I sometimes call it that. At any rate, depending on what chemicals (toxins - because that was perfume is) are in the fragrance, I...

I LOVE Cardio Fusion, but only because I did BM2 first. So, I would recommend BM2 first, then Cardio Fusion. The cardio premix on LIC is really fun, too!

It would really depend on what your goals are. If strength, get the Pyramids. If cardio, get Imax2. If you don't care, get Imax2 first, then the Pyramids. I have yet to do Imax3, even though I've had it since it was released. I know that someday I will do it, but it was just too advanced...

Without reading any of the other responses, the first thought that came to my mind was that you are overtraining. I, too, have suffered from little aches and pains in my knees, ankles, hand, neck, lower back, top of my foot, etc. You know what got rid of ALL OF THEM? I took about 3 months...

My wedding anniversary is May 15th, so I'll be able to remember this! You know, if my office would allow a relaxed dress code for those who ride their bikes, I'd ride instead of drive. I don't live far from the office, and the local biking/walking trail runs right by my office (and is...

Hey, if you think this board is bad, you should see my local newspaper's message board! Yikes!! They had to completely re-vamp the design and the different posting categories in an effort to take away the ones that had the most flaming posters. It was just awful! I haven't posted there in a...

Thank you to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and advice. Today has been the best I've felt in a while. I actually had enough energy to come home and wash some dishes and cook a quick dinner. But now I'm starting to feel a bit sleepy/tired. That's good, though, because I've got to get...

Well, here's an update to my thyroid issues. You might have read my post last week where I initially voiced my concerns about this. I saw my doctor on Friday, and after an examination, she told me that my thyroid is larger on one side. Now I've got a whole sheet of bloodwork to get done...

I know you are planning your projects for the rest of 07 and early 08 already, but thought I'd recommend something to think about for down the road. Before I state my suggestion, here's what has lead me to this idea: I suffered some leg and back problems several months ago, then just as...

I liked all the Pierce Brosnan Bond films. My personal tastes made those the best for me...but then Casino Royale came out. Despite the opening credits not being as inventive as the ones for The World is Not Enough, Tomorrow Never Dies, and Die Another Day, the movie was outstanding. I wasn't...

Thank you for all the feedback so far. It's been helpful.

The Gym Styles are more "interesting", with several different exercises to target all the muscle groups in different ways. GS's are great regular workouts for every week. The S&H's are great for "breaking plateaus" and don't do quite as many different exercises as the GS's. You might even...

It could also be a hiatal hernia (hope I spelled that right), but it sounds more like the gall bladder. A guy where I work was having all kinds of digestive problems and they tried EVERYTHING! Months and months went by with no answers. Finally, they looked at his gall bladder. That was it!

I've been told for a few years that I should get my thyroid checked, but I just kept putting it off. Well, yesterday, a spiritual healer (yes, I believe in energy healing) told me, quite seriously, that I should have my thyroid checked. He said that it isn't functioning properly and looks...

I think she's trying to do what Madonna did in the 80's and 90's with reinventing herself over and over. The difference is that Madonna knew what she was doing, and wasn't partying, drinking, and drugging it up the way ol' Britney seems to be doing. Britney needs to go far away and grow up...

Barbara: Enjoy the Clydesdales! I saw them quite by accident over Christmas. We were driving to my dad's for dinner and stopped to pick up a loaf of bread at the Meijer in Greenwood, IN. The four semi-trailers they use to transport the horses were in the parking lot with a huge crowd and a...
