RE: Everyone: What is your favorite cereal or breakfast... I workout first thing in the a.m. so I have 2 breakfasts...the first one is a banana and a cup of black coffee. Post workout it's a serving of steel cut oats generously sprinkled with ground flax seed, topped with a single serving of...

Hey Shelley :) We couldn't have asked for better conditions for the eclipse hey? It looked completely 'other wordly' at 10:00, made me wonder if that's what the moons look like in Narnia. I love that stuff, it made an otherwise low key Wednesday night into an event. Take Care Laurie

"Time waits for no mom" ~ I love that you said this!! I'm totally stealing that line. I am, inherently, a sentimental mush pot and feel the bittersweet lovliness of watching my 3 daughters grow and change with every turn. They are now 13, 17 and 18. Now as much as at any stage I wish I could...

Too funny Donna, you took the thought right out of my brain. I think this every time I do this workout. My hamstrings are crazy flexible and I don't go below the topper without feeling like form has gone to pot. If nothing else getting the topper out is a great stall tactic:D Take Care...

Thanks Teresa! That was the perfect start to my Sunday morning, a good cup of coffee and a gem of a song from the Boss. I haven't added to my Bruce Collection since 'Born in the USA' and saw him in a smaller venue on that tour, he just about wore me out, what a performer. He has such an...

Happy Birthday Carole!!! I'm gonna indulge in a big fat piece of cake in your honour:9 Enjoy your jaunt to Oregon, it sounds beautiful. I may have left the pack for the winter but I think of you lots and look forward to catching up to you and the rest of those Cheetahlicious babes in the...

Connie! I wish I could reach through the screen and hug you. What a beautiful, courageous and completely inspiring post. Your attitude is something to behold and reflects the amazing person that you are inside and out. Thanks for sharing with us and continued success with your impressive...

There are some cardio moves that make me wish I could turn the clock back and take dance lessons, they just feel so darned good. In Cathe's hi-lo I love 'knees up and over' and 'over and back', so much fun. I also love the low impact move in Step Jump and Pump, hamstring curls then you hop on...

Everything old is new again....:) The first time I read about ben wa balls was in the classic, must read, "Everything You Ever wanted to Know About Sex but Were Afraid to Ask". Fascinating, I remember a reference to elderly asian women happily whiling away the hours in rocking chairs:o ;-) }(...

I would definitely go with Cardio Hits, StepMax is a fantastic workout with great choreography. I think you'd really like it, there's snippets of her past choreography in her newer workouts which would smooth out the learning curve. I'm not distracted by 'dated' workouts at all, the outfits in...

Yup, Wendy's got it, and to point your toes away is plantar flexion. Take Care Laurie

I must say that the original post makes me cringe. Not too sporting. Sour grapes perhaps.....Nobody handed the Pats 18 wins, seems to me they played some pretty consistantly amazing football this season. As far as strong, dominant, history-in-the-making teams go, I guess there will always be...

I love to stretch...especially my hamstrings and chest...life's little pleasures. I've learned from my work as a massage therapist that, unfortunately, those who need to stretch the most usually enjoy it the least. I'm naturally flexible and have no trouble fitting in a few yoga sessions per...

That was a great game! It would have been awesome to see history in the making if the Patriots had of won but NY's defense made darn sure that didn't happen. Such a well played game, start to finish. Robin, I'm pretty new to football and was totally confused at Belichik's insistance that they...

I was on the fence but will cave and purchase when they announce the end of this phase of the presale. My credit card is a bit higher than I like right now (an unexpected purchase of Avril Lavigne tickets pushed it over the edge). If I can wait it out until the end of February then the presale...

Today ~ B-Max2 step and upperbody x 2 Sunday ~ KPC and L&G 81 minute premix Take Care Laurie:)

RE: Check out the Love it!! The Baby's belly laugh is contagious and the evil eye; priceless... Take Care Laurie:)

Hey Nancy :) I'm taking my sweet time getting rid of the pounds I put on over Christmas, my winter insulation;). Tomorrow's groundhog day which means it's about 6 weeks until spring, that's my motivation to buck up. The little pile of foil beside me (the remains of the Caramel and Almond...

Kate, that's awesome that you are enjoying stretching!! So many people underestimate it's importance but the more we keep our muscles supple and take them through their pain free ranges of motion, the more they will thank us with less likelihood of injuries, more freedom of movement and more...

Great question! Thank goodness for good old wikipedia;) This is my understanding, by finding your 1 Rep Max you establish a baseline that is customized to you and your individual strength. It's the starting point for all of your lifts, again, based on your individual muscular strength...
