    This seems really hard core!!

    Thanks for the FIY Gayle:) Be that as it may, I am a registered health care professional working in an atheletic based physiotherapy clinic and from that perspective could never endorse this kind of ballistic, joints locked and over extended type of workout. Hats off to those that love it, I'm...

    This seems really hard core!!

    I look at this and think WHATEVER...you can go hard and stupid like that for a while and burn out physically and mentally or you can respect the body, go hard, pull back, go hard...and go the distance. This appeals to be not at all. Hyperextended wrists, backs, poor 'clean' form (quantity of...

    Rebuy VHS to DVD

    I don't think it's silly if you'll get more use out of them. I did replace my VHS with DVDs of these workouts and don't think it was a waste of money at all. I definitely use them more (and differently) than if I hadn't replaced them. Although they don't have premixes you can mish mosh ad...

    The saga of my first 'competitive' walk

    Great job Kathryn! Now that the procedures are demystified and you've got more confidence your next competition will be smoother and you can draw on this experience and have a 'futz' free walk.:-) That is TOTALLY going to be my word of the day today!! Congrats on a job well done!! Take...

    Dreams?

    I think dream interpretation is so interesting. I have a friend who loves this stuff and is very good at interpreting dreams but she's not available to ask. I searched it and found this. The fact that your sister is pregnant might put a whole different spin on it but this is a start :)...

    Anyone else a cardio addict?

    I am a dyed in the wool cardio addicted endorphin junkie!! I love the way I can think or not think when my heart rate is racing. I indulged for years then joined a gym and started doing cardio/sculpt classes, saw what weights did for my physique and how muscular strength enhanced my cardio...

    My first post

    This is hilarious...I searched back to my first posts and this is what I found as a response to an existing thread. Nice way to introduce myself to the group. I remember being nervous when posting to start a thread. I asked about what keeps people motivated to keep working out. Kinda cool...

    Should dying Manson murderer be released?

    I feel the same Deanie. I read 'Helter Skelter' years ago and my blood still runs cold when I think about the events of those nights all those years ago. With no malice towards Ms. Atkins I feel that she should absolutely stay in prison. Sharon Tate and her unborn child were innocents, denied...

    Is the human body meant to be this way?

    You're welcome Lorrie:) It was a great question. I am fascinated by the human body, bio mechanics (like the difference between sprinters and long distance runners) and the way the body will adapt (on the cellular level as well as the musculoskeletal level) when challenged in the good way. Glad...

    Is the human body meant to be this way?

    These adaptations of anatomical position resulting from obesity are definitely making the body "out of sorts". The anatomical norm is that the centre of gravity lies about 2 inches below the navel. With a protuding belly and goodness knows how many pounds pulling on the anterior aspect of the...

    Tim Russert died!

    Very sad...what I read said that his family had just returned from Italy to celebrate his son's graduation, nice that the family had one last hurrah...it always breaks my heart to hear of someone dying so suddenly and not getting to say goodbye.;( Only 58, I remember when that sounded...

    What is your AC set at?

    We have central air but didn't use it at all last year and don't plan on using it this year. Today was stinking hot and yukky humid but I keep telling myself I dreamed about these days in February:) I have 6 ceiling fans in the house and lots of floor fans so the air keeps moving. The...

    Panhandlers...

    I find this so interesting, so many different takes and strategies. I really like the idea of keeping some non-perishables in the car. I don't have money to give away but real, practical help would leave both the giver and recipient feeling good. Amy, I like that your sister did this, years...
