I have this problem, too. I'm in a Catch 22, though. I need to strengthen my core to stabilize my lower back, so I do a few minutes of core work just about every day. If I get a little lax with this, I have lower back problems. At any rate, my abs are poochin' out quite a bit and it's...

RE: I've confessed, now, what's YOUR Guilty Pleasure So... Just about anything by Duran Duran. (Another 80's child here!)

It's almost the big day! Two more games and we'll know who's going to the Superbowl. So who do you think will win from the following matchups: AFC Championship - Colts/Patriots NFC Championship - Saints/Bears Who do you think will take it all? I'm from Indianapolis, so I've got to...

1. I have the attitude of a Ferrari, but look like a Ford. This always throws people off. They see me and think I'm little Miss Bookworm-Nicey-Nice-Softspoken, and some learn the hard way that that's just not the case. 2. I understand football better than a lot of men I know. It's all about...

We need to remember that our planet has existed here millions of years longer than we have and isn't even close to resembling what it looked like in the beginning of its existence. We seem to think that our planet is a stationary device that never changes. What we need to realize is that we...

While I do believe that global warming exists, I believe what we're seeing is the result of a global tilt. The best way to describe it is by comparing the earth to a spinning top. The longer a top spins, the more likely it is to wobble as its center of gravity is affected. With the earth, you...

Got a Microsoft Zune! Love it so far! It's got the same amount of memory as an iPod, but from what I hear it's a lot easier to download music to. In less than 15 minutes, we downloaded 55 songs from my CD collection. I hear that it's a lot harder to download your own songs to an iPod...

Pushups aren't my favorites, either, by I made a New Year's resolution that I would be able to do the requisite number of pushups that someone my age should be able to do at one time to be "average": 45 So, I have developed a training schedule that will help me to work up to this number by...

I've heard of this before, too. Too much of anything is not good. And it's very unhealthy to "hold it" when you have to go. I'm sure this didn't help, since urine is filled with toxins.

My cats are like my kids. I could never give them away for 3 months. My husband and I would miss them too much.

Check with a chiropractor on your bone alignment. Get some x-rays.

This is just a GREAT workout! I was really looking forward to this tonight, but I'm sore! No lie! I pushed through the rest of the workout tonight - concentration curls, hammers, etc. but it was tough! I mean, she just hits the biceps from every angle (she even says that during the workout)...

RE: Can You Recommend Weight Training Videos or Dvd's P... My first vote would be for the Gym Style series. I just love this one for weight training! Another great core and lower body DVD would be Butts and Guts. It's a nice compliment to GS: Legs My next vote would be for the Slow &...

I pulled out the ol' GS BBS tonight and kicked my patooty up, down, and sideways! Wow! I got a new barbell this week and I think it's a little heavier than my french curl bar that I usually use. So, anyhoo, I got through back okay, then pumped it up a little heavier than usual on...

Legs & Glutes is the first workout to come to mind, but you're throwing me off when you say the workout on FitTV was only 30 minutes long. I discovered Cathe off of FitTV, too, and I'm pretty sure I've seen every workout she's got on there (I recorded them all before buying all the DVD's). If...

RE: The New Workouts Just Make the Older Ones Seem I just love the new workouts, too! I hope no one thought I was saying otherwise. :o :-) I have just found the new cardios to be very challenging. They get my heart rate up and keep it up! In the older workouts, I used to feel that...

Warning: Something that I've been told regarding flax seed is that a little goes a long way, whether you're using oil, ground seeds, or whole seeds. The lady at the health food store said that people think that if they use more of it, they'll get even greater benefits -- all they got was sick...

I have asthma, too, so I feel for you! I find that my endurance is actually better after some time off. Of course, if I've taken 2-3 weeks off, I have to start back up with a few "warm-up" workouts - at least the strength training ones. As an asthmatic, after I've been sick, those...

Our dog does this, too. Grosses my husband out, but I read in a dog book that this is normal and harmless. How? I don't know, but they say it's natural for a dog to do this. Whatever! The only thing we can do to keep doggie out of the doody is to scoop the doody daily.

I used to have debilitating cramps, with extreme bloat before my periods, and while I still get some bloating and breast soreness, my cramping is now under control, thanks to acupuncture and chinese herbal therapy. I'd tell you what herbs I took, but the name was written in Chinese, so I don't...
