    Safety of squats

    I've purchased STS and I'm really excited, but I am little hesitant about doing squats with any type of a square rack or smith machine after reading a recent news article....is this hype (see #8) or something we all should brush to the wayside. Someone I highly respect brought this to my...

    Help! I need a blender for Shakes

    Another vote for a Vitamix. It can handle any job....even nuts and nut butters. I also have the dry blender for blending grains for homemade bread. What's even better is Vitamix totally backs its products with incredible customer service (and you can even buy parts). I have another blender which...

    What about Dallas TX?

    Opps .....yes there is traffic...lol. Stay away from route 75 during rush hour...I must have had a blond moment when I said I hadn't experienced traffic.

    What about Dallas TX?

    I've been living in the Dallas area for about 8-9 years now. I'm a transplanted New Yorker. I absolutely love it here (I never liked or tolerated the cold very well). There really is so much to do and Southerners are very friendly. :-) For me, the increase in sunny days (as compared to living up...

    Low Impact Cross Train Extreme

    I usually don't post in this forum, but I am all for a low impact CTX with a variety of cardio. :) I enjoy the high impact type workouts, but I really have to consider the wear and tear on my joints as I age. (I want to keep them healthy as long as possible.) If I feel like doing a higher...

    Anyone drink yerba mate?

    I drink Yerba Mate daily. You may or may not get jittery depending on how sensitive you are to the Xanthine derivatives in it. I definitely get jittery from too much coffee, but never from Yerba Mate. Some info that may help you decide if you would like to try it...

    bunion

    I had a toddler too when I had one of the surgeries (my left foot) and that made a big difference with the healing. That foot took longer to heal....I believe it was because I constantly had to get up to tend to her. I couldn't lay down and keep it elevated. I also never had a cast. In both...

    bunion

    I had both feet done (at different times) in my early twenties....it was best thing I ever did.:) I no longer was in pain and my feet looked normal again. At the time, I was told I may have to have them done again in about 10 years because the tendons in the back of my legs created the condition...
