Hi everyone! I wanted to share a recent discovery with you all - and I wondered if anyone has had a similar experience. Around last October I noticed that my makeup (a mineral makeup) was starting to looked cakey and dry. It was also emphasizing the lines on my face. So I switched to a cream...

Hi BNS, It's the Strength and Conditioning textbook for NSCA. :) Carolyn

Happy Birthday, Michele!! I hope you have a marvelous day!! :) C

It makes you wonder what Cathe's fast to slow twitch fiber ratio is. I'm thinking she has lots of both somehow.:) She has the power and strength of the fast twitch crowd with the endurance of slow twitch people. Some people have all the luck huh? :) Carolyn

I love swimming but it makes me too hungry. DH says it's because of the water pressure. It presses on the organs (including the stomach) causing gastric emptying. So, in the water you feel full but once you get out, your stomach feels empty and you're starving. This is why he recommends to his...

As I was studying my CSCS book, I ran across some info that may be interesting to some. They theorize that people who have more fast-twitch fibers ( or 'type 2' fibers - used for power and short spurts of energy - sprinters, power lifters, etc) tend to have an easier time with hypertrophy...

I hope you had a great day!! :) Carolyn

Just a thought - but instead of focusing on 'perfect alignment' you may want to think about actually moving more. Sometimes trying to mimic perfect posture can be as bad as slumping in front of a computer all day. I believe the body needs movement (sometimes just small movements) to keep blood...

GREAT movie but I wouldn't want to see it again. I think the ending portrays the entire point of the movie. To me, it was an aging man trying to make sense of a modern, violent world in which he feels he doesn't belong. He realizes in the end, that he cannot stop what is apparently inevitable...

I like to call the Teletubbies the 'porta potties'. Does that count?:P Carolyn

I also haven't had any issues with Amazon and I've bought some high ticket items there (my iMac!). And I've ordered COUNTLESS used DVDs there as well. All of them have been legit. I don't always have the luxury of following the highest rated seller (because they don't always ship to...

Nope, not this year. But hopefully Amy and I can make it next year. This summer we'll be a bit busy but I really would like to go (and I'm pretty sure she would like to go to!). Carolyn

I must say that this is a HARD time for Americans to be living in Europe. We do get a cost of living adjustment but sadly, it's not enough. A few weeks ago, DH and I took a trip to Holland and while there we had to have our breaks fixed. Cost: 400 Euros (!!!) or around $275. It stung, but it had...
