I work mostly from home, too. So I'd add to your list: I can get the kids on and off the bus (being a person who has commuted for years, I really treasure this). I can work out WHENEVER I WANT! :) Marie

WHAT! Absolutely not. I don't even let my 15 year old use the stove if I'm not home (and in the kitchen, I don't think he pays enough attention to what he's doing).

Carolyn... my older son LOVES them. Double yuck! Marie

You are TOO funny! I was sure this was our first thread about voyeuristic tendencies. ;-) Peepers: HATE the nasty little buggers. Ick. Marie

Laura, what happened??! Obviously I miss all of the controversial threads. Perhaps I have controversyitis? Anyway, take care. ((hugs))

I find waxing consistently painful, but the woman I used to go to assured me everyone else finds it less painful over time. I only did the bikini line, though. PS: Speaking of waxing, I tried a new product this weekend and waxed off almost my ENTIRE left eyebrow. :)

I think this is a very personal question. Some people (as noted by posters on this thread) think it is no big deal. For others it is. It really depends on the couple. I don't like porn when it's a solo activity, but sometimes my SO and I watch on the lighter channels (the not-quite-porn stuff)...

I.am.so.old. :)

I also think it's difficult to know what a relationship really IS unless you're actually in it... sometimes people are functionally dysfunctional. (None of us, though!) :7

I tried the original set but wasn't too impressed. However, other people just love them. Have you considered rebounding or a bosu? I find those activities much more fun!

Well, I personally found Fluidity a little awkward for pullups, but I'm somewhat tall, so that may be why. I went for the pull-up bar that you attach to your door frame and a set of Iron Woodys (love love love my Iron Woodys). I have read of other people having success with the Fluidity bar...

Of course I iron my sheets! Doesn't everyone? }( Sheesh, are you kidding me? I send everything that needs ironing to the dry cleaners!

IMAX 2 is my favorite, but the original IMAX is, IMO, more intense and the choreography is much simpler (I know, that seems so contradictory!). So - if you are going for less of a learning curve, IMAX. If you are going for the fun factor - IMAX 2. I personally find IMAX 3 rather complex...

What is it with women in groups? Seriously, they turn into human vultures. Are we socialized to be nasty b*tches, or what?

Hmm, food for thought. I've been looking looking looking at the new set. Trying to hold out for reviews, though...

Laura, I think you have it on the % setting (in other words, you're working in the high 90% of your zone) rather than on the actual rate setting itself. Did you get the book with it? You need to fiddle with the options - if you can't figure it out, let me know and I'll post instructions. I know...

Hi, Carolyn: I am still recovering from a fall at the beginning of Feb. I ignored the pain at first and continued with my X rotation - stupid girl! - and really messed it up much worse. I know it's hard, but the only thing that has worked for me is massive ibuprofen and no impact. I've been...

I think you also have to consider how cool-down periods affect the heart rate, i.e., IMAX 3 (which brings you back down after every interval) vs. TJ CP 3 (which only has one interval, if I recall correctly) - the HRM averages it out. I use my HRM reading as a guide only and still try to go by...

It really depends on what you like. Every one of the instructors mentioned here is very, very different. Some people love them, some people hate them, so it's hard to say. Do you have Netflix? If so, you can rent a variety of workouts and isntructors from them. That might give you a better...
