    Low Intensity Experiment: Continued

    My arms are not a problem area but they lacked definition because for so long, just going to the gym, I focused mostly on my legs. My arms were so weak in comparison to legs and I had to do something so I searched for what would work and Pyramid Upper Body did amazing things, to the point where...

    want to recommend DVD for rehabbing

    http://www.spinervals.com/products/department3.cfm They are called Body Works MD Sports Medicine and there is one for the shoulder, one for the ankle, one for the back and one for the knee. These would be very good, I think. I've not tried any but would certainly do so if I was having...

    Balance Board versus Xerdisc

    Be sure you get two. I got one to start with and then couldn't find one to match exactly but was finally able to get two that almost match and are very similar so they feel about the same in use. With two, you can do cool push up variations, have one foot on each for some leg work (probably...

    Balance Board versus Xerdisc

    I love my balance stuff! Target has their balance board things on clearance (at least at mine.) 30% off I think. I also have 2 of the xerdiscs and enjoy those, and a BOSU (love that thing) and a Reebok core board that I got used on ebay. You can do so much with all of it. I will use any of...

    Walking versus Running

    I walk with my weighted vest (10lbs) sometimes. My TM goes to 15% and I vary my inclines. You can get a great workout on the TM! I think speed and incline depend on your fitness level. I would definitely try Cardio Coach workouts or HIIT workouts. Tracey Staehle has a walking DVD but I've...

    Harcore Fitness Maniacs Monday 8/31

    Hi Theresa - sounds like a good plan and attitude! Let me know what you think of the P90X. I am starting STS today, but will move legs to Mondays instead of Fridays so that I can ride on Saturdays. Yesterday was a rest day for me (did some new ab work - most I didn't care for b/c it was too...

    Comfortable In Your Skin

    Robin -the thing that still bothers me most is that stupid little string of fabric cutting across her middle. I think that contributes to some of the roll. I think the magazine did it for publicity but maybe also to help women feel comfortable...that they don't have to have a perfect body...

    Comfortable In Your Skin

    Robin - I think DirtDiva was saying just that - she doesn't know you but can only make assumptions about you based on what you write here. It would be sad for someone who is not the perfect weight/size to read this and interpret it the wrong way. Most people do have a roll somewhere, whether it...

    Kristin - glad your day is better today! Academy did have the steps for an amazing price. i don't trust the websites. They say that some items are only online then you go to the store and there they are.

    Hardcore Fitness Hottie Maniacs August 27, 2009

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIANE SUE!!! Last night, I did SLoMo legs again. I love that DVD. I lowered my weights on most and enjoyed it much more. So much of it is lower back and forearm intensive and this made me feel better but still left my legs screaming. They feel good today - not too painful...

    Give me some complex carb recommendations

    Sorry - that sounds like a bummer thing to have. I do not eat refined carbs (I will eat them when out, which is very occasionally and only if there aren't better choices!). I will have a baked potato before an event (triathlon or long bike ride). I try to eat almost all of my carbs in their...
