I also get hot doing workouts, even weight workouts, and especially in summer. Where I am in Auckland, New Zealand we have daytime summer temperatures around 25-28°C (77-82°F) with the odd day up to 30°C (~86°F). Winter daytime temperatures tend to be around 15-17°C (59-62°F). But we have...

Tom Peto Training on YouTube has several mobility, stretch, and foam roller routines usually ranging between 10-20 minutes. He has a 10-day mobility series too. Worth taking a look to see if this might encourage your husband to do more stretching and flexibility.

Thanks Linda. Will have to try this out and see what works best for me. Will also have to try out your suggestion for surrenders. Might be a good one to switch to part way through if I'm getting too fatigued doing the full surrenders.

Interesting modification Braille. I usually modify by not coming all the way up to stand, I come into a crouching squat instead. I do this modification for exercises where you are down for longer so will probably try this for the gorilla move. For exercises like burpees where you aren't down...

I believe they were released towards the end of 2021.

Having watched the clip, I was thinking this one might get me in my wrists if there are too many moves back-to-back where the wrists are flexed. If this is the case, I will probably use the workout blender to change around exercises to give my wrists a rest. I will have to modify the gorilla...

I signed up to OnDemand for a year during the Black Friday sale. I had already been using it month to month with a break here and there. However, with the shipping issues to New Zealand my options for STS 2.0 were either buying the downloads or OnDemand. Buying the downloads doesn't include...

Unfortunately, being in New Zealand, shipping charges can quite often be at least the same or more than the price of the item, even purchasing from Amazon. I went to buy the Cathe socks when they first came out which had free worldwide shipping and I couldn't get them because they weren't...

I think he most likely misinterpreted your friendliness for interest and now you have set him straight. He may be a bit embarrassed, as Linda said, especially if he was dousing himself in aftershave for you. At some point the anxiety will subside, and you will feel stronger knowing you have...

Part of your anxiety is fear of the unknown. Before you confronted him you didn't know how he would react. Now that you have confronted him there is still some uncertainty on how he will react. Hopefully he will just avoid you until the job's finished and then move on. The more often you...

I've been practicing Pilates for over 20 years now. I've been going to the same studio all that time and also have equipment at home. I started due to a back injury; the owner of the studio specializes in rehab work. Other instructors I've had at the studio over the years have been good but...

Good for you. The fact that he was waiting for you in his car with aftershave on says a lot. I bet he didn't have all that aftershave on when he kissed his wife goodbye that morning. Keep us posted on what happens on your next walk. By the way, a really good book to read is "The Gift of...

Yes, this was explained to us as passive-aggressive behavior. First, we are too passive in our requests, usually in the wording we use because we are trying to be nice and not upset anyone, and then when we aren't listened to for the umpteenth time, we get aggressive and blow up. The...

Listen to your feelings. If what he is doing is making you uncomfortable, then his behavior is already inappropriate. You are trying to make excuses, some of your husband's friends kiss you on the cheek, he is married, he is just being friendly. How do you think your husband would react if he...

Just to clarify, it was ashaw who mentioned natural progesterone cream, not me. I have insomnia too. Have had it for years but it definitely has gotten worse with menopause. Lack of sleep is contributing to the brain fog and irritability. A lot of the over-the-counter menopause treatments...

I can relate to the heavy non-stop bleeding. I've been badly affected by my periods my whole life; they've always been heavy and would last 7-9 days and didn't always follow a regular cycle so would often catch me unprepared. But in my early 40s they started getting progressively longer and...

Thanks for that Jen! I've had a door anchor for years and was told to never use it on the side of the door that opens towards you in case you accidentally pull the door open. This limited my options of where I could use it as I needed a door that opened away from me with enough room to...

I love the workout blender too. There is a 7-day free trial period when you subscribe to OnDemand. Subscribing to OnDemand also gives you access to all the Cathe Live workouts, although only the DVD workouts can be used in the blender. Cathe's DVD workouts are chaptered so you can select...

As a possibly cheaper alternative, if what your husband has stored in the garage doesn't require power then you could get a simple storage shed to store his stuff and create space in the garage where you already have power.

I've heard of people using old shipping containers that they put in their yard and convert to a home gym. One I saw a clip of was 2 x 20ft containers with one of the long side walls of each removed and the two joined together to make a wider space, I think it works out to be nearly 16 ft in...
