    Can ANYONE explain this one?

    RapidBreath, I feel the same way you do - physiologically, the body is getting rid of fat which is nothing more, really, that unused, unburned, stored energy. What weirds me out, though, is why it should happen with higher humidity / dewpoints rather than when it's simply warmer (with drier...

    Alternative for Lunges

    How about slow weighted "leg presses" (also known as step-ups) on a high step? And use some sort of long stick (a broom or the unloaded bar of a barbell set) for balance for the lowering phase? A-Jock

    Can ANYONE explain this one?

    Greetings, sportsfans, have a bit of a conundrum going on here: I live in the upper Midwest which, as we all know, gets bitchin' cold during the winter months and it's a DRY cold; concomitantly, it can get very warm AND very humid in the late spring through summer months. Here's the deal...

    Am I the only person that didn't like Avatar?

    Like Lainiefig I haven't seen it either, although DH is itching to rent it once we get a patch for our Blu-Ray player that can enable 3D discs to be played on it. I have precisely ZERO interest in it, and I'm glad that my lack of interest has been validated here. I also knew it was a butt-number...

    It is really hard to get back into shape

    Hard, but certainly very doable. I don't know if you've ever read Lance Armstrong's memoir "It's Not About The Bike", which goes from his humble beginnings through his early years as a successful professional cyclist, then through his near-death bout with testicular cancer, then his regaining...

    Getting turned off

    I agree. Especially when there is precisely zero new production on the horizon. A-Jock

    RIP Lena Horne

    Thanks for the show, Miss Lena. At times the world didn't deserve you or your art, but you gave it to us anyway. Thanks, hon. A-Jock

    Who's More Insane...?

    And guess what, Insanitinas: Shaun T and Beachbody announced at its recent annual summit that Shaun is producing (wait for it) INSANITY ASYLUM, to be released in 2011. I bet ASYLUM makes INSANITY look like a Leslie Sansone vid. Just. Can't. Wait. a-Jock

    my breast (cancer) surgeon asked me...

    Michele, I truly hope that you will resubmit this post exactly as you have written it here for the Success Story iPod contest. I know that your experience is prize enough in itself, but I can't remember the last time I myself read something so inspiring. Cute story for you: many women think...

    Need Help-Possible Legal Advice-Long. Sorry

    I would contact your local police department and speak with a community service officer or other public liaison, and describe exactly what you have described here. I would also check with local domestic violence advocate groups, who often assist and advise people who are the victims of...

    Friend who was nicer when I was fat...

    Many, many threads have been put up on this forum regarding the resentment and pushback fit women receive from their less-fit or unfit sisters, and a Cathlete here said it best when she said, in essence, "When you lose weight and get lean through diet and exercise, YOU'RE TAKING THEIR EXCUSES...

    When I get up the stones to say it out loud, I'll let everyone here know. Until then . . . A-Jock

    Friend who was nicer when I was fat...

    And if THAT one doesn't work, you can simply say "Go f*ck yourself. You paddle your canoe and I'll paddle mine." Man, people are a piece of work sometimes, aren't they? A-Jock (Not really liking negative people right now)

    A-Jock - Please read

    Hi, Debbie, and thanks for the shout-out! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond; I've been off the grid for the past few days with travel and family matters. I have made precisely zero progress in the explosive push-up department. A combination of things, including laziness and...

    CATHE WHAT IS YOUR NEXT DVD?? HOW ABOUT STS 2

    I would dearly love to see a complete workout dedicated to speed and fast-foot agility drills, incorporating rapid acceleration / deceleration drills (much akin to the "suicide" drills both forward running and lateral as in 4DS-Boot Camp), rapid foot-placement changes (feet wide then together in...

    He just doesn't get it!!!!

    I'm somewhat confused as to why you insist on not moving to New Mexico, when your recruiting business is clearly not taking off as you had hoped. Like the responder before me, you probably aren't going to like this answer, but it seems that in large part your problems are self-generated and in...

    Do all iTunes movie downloads take forever?

    To download, I mean? I just this afternoon loaded up iTunes on my computer, and poked around their movie store; my plan was to purchase and download a few movies to then transfer to my iPod Classic (which has lain unmolested in its little box since I bought it in February 2009). Well. I...
