I started with an 12kg (26lbs) for swings, and an 8kg (18lbs) for overhead moves like overhead squat, windmills, turkish get ups, etc. I now have a decent collection of heavier bells. I wouldn't recommend going any lower than 8kg - it's too easy to cheat when you use a lighter bell and your form...

Yes, this! I think it depends more on how your legs look than how old you are. What kind of random gauge is that???? I personally have a mix of lengths and wear them to the appropriate occasion. Outdoor happy hour at a friend's house in the heat of summer? The super cute shorter shorts from Old...

I'm glad you liked it!!!!! I feel exactly the same way about this one.

I have it and I LOVE it. I think it's a great intro to power lifting, and as I recall (it's been a while since I've done it) there is a workout that you use initially that has a LOT of instruction and comments about form (which you need when you start out), then when you know what you are doing...

I also use the DHC cleansing oil (olive oil based, but it is most definitely OIL) - it cleans amazingly well, and does NOT leave your face feeling oily or greasy. It cleans without stripping, which actually often helps those with oily skin (because your face is responding to the harsher...

I have a number of CW-X tights (winter weight, summer weight, mid-weight, mid-weight capris, shorts, tri-shorts, longer shorts - I think that's all of them!) - clearly, I love these. I feel they REALLY help with fatigue during long runs. HUGE fan - I'd happily pay retail (and have) for this...

You can get one at Sports Authority or Dick's or the like. I've got a bar that alone is 15#, non-Olympic, that I've had for years and I love.

I am TOTALLY with Clare on this one. Realistically, for most people, there are only a few windows in your life when you can live in a city - given you said you really want to, this is the time to do it! If you don't do it now, it might be another 20 years before you can consider it again...

How are you using the tall step? I've been squatting low the last few months and like you are LOVING it - amazing how it really engages the glutes! I can tell when I start to get tired because I revert back to "normal" squats to take the work out of the back side and bring it more to the front...

Don't apologize for reviving this, and PLEASE do it often!!!!! I love hearing your updates. WAY TO GO!!!!!!

She does have the Hana, and loves it, but she also has others. :)

More love for this post. :)

I can assure you that while I "eat clean" I have none of the moral superiority feelings you talk about above, nor am I miserable doing what I'm doing. I could give a crap what others do on a day to day basis, but if they ask me for help, because they see what I'm doing and see that it works well...

My original dryer was/is a Conair. I might still use it for travel, but it's a whole different world with these salon quality ones......

HANAair Review Ok, mine FINALLY came yesterday!!!!!!! It was packaged incredibly beautifully - I'll attach some pics - with a ton of cute little freebies. Adorable. You can tell the dryer is salon quality - less "plasticy" feeling than what you typically get at Target. It's sturdy without being...

Go back and read LSass's post about how she has TOTALLY reshaped her body, and she's in the "advanced age" category you describe (as am I - staring down the barrel of 45 right now). I don't buy it. Sure, doing what you've been doing for years is likely not going to get you much different in...

Me too!!! Finally! I'm going crazy waiting for it. :)

Or if you have a LOT of it. Embrace? Not a chance. :)

Right - it's the grow out that'll kill ya! What I do to extend my time between trips to my salon is to use Clairol Root Touch Up. I only cover my grow out, and it gives me an additional few weeks before I have to go in for an appointment. I double checked with my stylist to make sure I was...

Thanks Michelle (from another Michelle!)!!!! I hadn't received it yet, and some people initially said they got theirs in 2 days, so I just emailed them - got a reply immediately that said it had been out of stock, but they were getting more in within a day and then would send out by...
