    Just starting to be Wheat Free-any takers?

    I started a paleo diet two weeks ago and have lost over six pounds. I can’t believe it, usually that would take me months to achieve. Like you said Stimirli, no cravings, I feel as if someone turned off a switch. I’m sold on this form of eating, except for one problem, constipation. I’m...

    Where to begin again (with arthritis)?

    Just thinking outside the box; Beachbody has a new program out called Tae Chang. It is Tae Chi with Dr. Chang. Before each flow, he does a neural –reboot. I think this program is worth the price just for these reboots. I have never done Tae Chi and use to dismiss it as something on the...

    Need help get going again!

    First of all don't get down on yourself, we all fall off the wagon sometimes. Well maybe not Cathe, but us mear mortals do it all the time. When I hit a rough patch I like to start off slow, I use my easy or short tapes to get back in the habit of working out; after a week or two l'll start...

    mats for tile floor recommendations?

    I have cement floors throughout my house. In the gym I put down a ¾” rubber mat and then an area of puzzle mats on top of that. This provides ample cushion for my feet. To solve the disc problem, I purchase some Flor tiles. The discs slide perfectly on them.

    Devils on Horseback are Medjool Dates stuffed with a Marcona almond and bluecheese then wraped in bacon and fried or baked till the bacon is crisp. Plan to serve it with a Port reduction sauce. Had these in Los Vegas at the Firefly Tappas Bar. They are devine. Yes I am a closet foodie. I...

    Think! Math?? WHAT??

    If you want to teach your child math, use Kahn Academy on the wed. It is free and self paced. It's the way I was taught math, the math that got me thru the Air Force Academy. I don't know whats going on with our education system, but it seems the more we pour money into the current system the...

    men doing sts

    I agree with DirtDiva. My husband and I are in the final weeks of a six month rotation of STS. We have done P90X several times, but prefer STS. Cathe does a great job in sequencing and explaining each meso cycle. I love her queuing and you don’t have the Tony annoyance factor. DirtDiva is...

    Need ideas for take-along food for travel

    My husband is an airline pilot; you would think the company feeds these guys, but actually they need to fly trips greater than 3 hours before the airline will load a crew meal. When they do get a meal it’s still airline food, yuck! Try finding healthy food in an airport. So his strategy is...

    Kettlebell workouts

    I have both of Paul Katami's workout DVDs and really enjoy them. He has a separate section on each DVD that reviews all the moves he will use in the tape. During the workout he has excellent cueing making it easy to follow. Each move is done in 30, 60 or 90 second sections, so you can take a...

    Paul Katami's Kettlebell dvd's

    I have both DVDs and love them. In fact, I just finished Drills, so I'm sitting here making a puddle as I type. These tapes have excellent queing and good form. Both tapes provide a strength and cardio workout simultaneously, so you get a lot done in 40 minutes. I'm having problems with my...

    Feeling really cranky!

    I think you are going through exercise withdraws or DT’s. My guess is that you are in the habit of exercising every day and you body actually needs the endorphins to feel good. I’m no expert, I just notice that I have gotten to the point that if I don’t get some kind of activity during the day...
