    Healthy Smoothie to enjoy in moderation ;-)

    Anyone own YogaWarrior 365?

    Anyone exercise without socks?

    That's what I did when I went to the Nike Factory Store. The fit felt good - not snug or tight.

    Anyone exercise without socks?

    Lately when I am doing cardio, my toes start tingling about halfway through the workout. I recently replaced my athletic socks and they seem to be thicker than the last set I bought. I also replaced my cross-trainers as well. I went up a half size as suggested by the salesperson and they seem...

    Anyone Tried Ryka Influence?

    I have ordered two different Ryka shoes from Amazon in the past week - Endure XT 2 and Fit Pro. Both pair sucked. What has happened to this company?

    Anyone Tried Ryka Influence?

    I'm thinking about ordering these shoes and need some input. I'm needing a shoe for step, circuit training, weightlifting, intervals, etc.

    Beachbody

    It is definitely worth $20. I get bored real easy so this was a nice change of pace. If you can master Cathe's step choreography, you can handle Hip Hop Abs. Shaun T makes the workout fun without the dread factor.

    When you sign up for Team Beachbody they assign a coach to you. There are past threads on this forum about some of the better coaches (like mine). You can request a change if you don't like who is assigned.

    They were special deals offered to the coaches by Beachbody that they would pass on to their customers. She knew which workouts I was interested in so when the specials were announced, she would send me an e-mail.

    You get more personal service when you order through a coach. Whenever a new flavor of Shakeology would come out, my coach would send me samples. She would also tell me about special sales that weren't offered to the public.

    Anyone Struggling With High Utility Bills?

    I just checked my power company's website and this is what I found: Beginning April 1, 2013 Southern Pine began offering Time of Use rates for members. The rates for on-peak hours are 18.190 cents. During off-peak hours the rate is 6.419 cents. What a crock. I'm paying 3 times more...

    Anyone Struggling With High Utility Bills?

    You said it. I'm so stressed out. If it wasn't for Cathe and Travis Eliot, I would be a basket case.

    Anyone Struggling With High Utility Bills?

    I live by myself in a two story townhouse that was built in 1972 (its a POS house). My electricity bill last month was $341.00. When I got that bill, I started turning off the heater and unplugging all small appliances that might be using power. That dropped the bill to around $200.00. Now, I...

    Any suggestions on puzzle mats?

    Would puzzle mats work placed over carpet? The sub-floor in my gym room (upstairs bedroom) is shot. I can't do any cardio because it hurts my legs too much and I can't afford to replace it right now.

    Shoulder Weightlifting Substitutions

    I never realized how tight my neck and shoulders had gotten until I quit weightlifting while I was going through physical therapy for vertigo. My PT told me to do cardio only if it didn't aggravate my situation (which it did some days). I slowly started to ease back into lifting (once or twice...

    What is your body type - Get to know it to determine an effective workout routine

    I did the test again just to make sure and it came up mesomorph again. I did some research online for this body type (don't remember what website I was on) and it said to do circuit training, yoga and cardio (step, dance, kickbox, etc.)

    What is your body type - Get to know it to determine an effective workout routine

    When I did the test, I came up as a mesomorph. I should be doing more circuit training instead of heavy lifting. I had been going about working out all wrong. Thanks for posting this!

    Anyone watch Dr. Oz today?

    I agree. Every show is about the "latest and greatest" find in weight loss, nutrition, etc. My mother is a sucker. She buys everything he plugs on his show and with no results (weight loss, better skin, etc.) I might add.
