The regular P90 is very different and, in my opinion, very boring. You do many, many reps of things like high stepping in place while putting your elbows to your knees, running in place, jumping jacks.... I stuck it out for a while out of sheer stubbornness because it was the first exercise...

I love all kinds of nut butters, but be careful with cashew butter.. cashews are related to poison ivy and eating a lot of them can cause hypersensitivity and really bad reactions to poison ivy, even in people who have previously not had any reaction at all.

I second the cookie sheet idea. You can freeze anything that way (chicken, veggies, balls of chocolate chip cookie dough....) and then put the pieces in a ziplock bag together and take them out as you need them.

I really like Izze sparkling juices. I only drink them occasionally (mostly I drink water) but they're really good and not too sweet. Just natural fruit juice and sparkling water with no added sugar.

It doesn't look like you really need any more votes for the mac, but I thought I'd share my 2 cents anyway. I have had my mac (mini) for about 4 years and my husband has had his (12" powerbook) maybe 6 months longer. Both are still going strong and we've never had any trouble with either one...

How old is your son? Do they already have a house set up? That kind of thing makes a difference. I got married right out of college and my husband's parents (in addition to paying for the rehearsal dinner and some extra appetizers @ the reception) gave us money to buy furniture... we had...

I replaced the battery in mine and didn't have any problems with it. Did you maybe put the battery in upside down?

I doubt this is related to the original bicep bruise issue, but for the ladies who have unexplained bruises on their legs: my sister in law used to get huge purple bruises on her legs and never knew where they came from. She went to the doctor and it turned out she was very anemic. She got...

I've used Rosetta Stone, and it's good but it takes a LONG TIME. You have to sit at the computer and it's very repetitive and gets boring. For conversational skills, the Pimsleur CD's are excellent. They are expensive (around $600 I think for all 3 levels), but many libraries have them. I'd...

Thanks Jan and Kathryn for the input/ advice. It's funny, because I would say my quads are actually a strong point for me-- I'm a figure skater, which really builds the quad muscles, and I actually have to make sure I don't forget to work my hamstrings so I don't end up with a muscle imbalance...

Ok, I've searched the forums and read a bunch of kettlebell threads, but I haven't really found the answer to my question. I got a 10lb. gofit kettlebell for Christmas, and the 26th I did the "workout" that came with it-- really just showing how to do 5 exercises: turkish getups, two hand...

see, I thought it would come with Basic Step, that's why it threw me a little when it was this other dvd (that I also can't find on Cathe's website, btw) But I think from what you guys are saying, whatever comes with it is going to be pretty basic. I think I'll recommend that she get it :D...

Hi everyone. My mom watched me do Body Max 2 the other day and now she really wants to start doing Cathe's step workouts, but she is a total beginner. She used to run when she was much younger, but hasn't exercised at all in a long time. We were at Wal-Mart last night, and they had the...

a computer that is 6+ years old may not have the hard drive, processor speed, RAM, etc. necessary to run a newer operating system, recent software, etc. while it seems like the new computers that are SOOOOOOOO much faster than their counterparts from only a few years ago she be able to fly...

Two things I've found to be helpful when I'm craving something I really shouldn't eat: First it's good to have something else (active, not passive) to do instead. Like if you want to go get something to eat, distract yourself by doing something else, like do a load of laundry, or wash the...

I agree that you are going to have a next to impossible time finding what you want for your budget. You can get digital point-and-shoots for around $150 in the 3-4 mp range, (they're harder to find though, most manufacturers are constantly increasing their resolution and keeping cameras at the...

Another thing to keep in mind, since you said you want to listed to audio books from the library, is that for downloadable audiobooks many libraries use limited-license files that are not supported by the ipod. you should definitely check with your library about which players are supported...

One thing that you need to keep in mind is that Lasik corrects imperfections in the cornea, but part of the reason for reading glasses as a loss of ability of the muscles in your eye to focus as you age. This is why so many people need reading glasses as they get older. With your prescription...
