A few years ago, I had an ankle injury that I had to work around. I found an old thread where people were giving suggestions of kickboxing in reply to someone else that was only able to work their upper body. I can't seem to find it now though. Anyways, I did upper body premixes from some of...

It's a great strategy for push-ups. I suggested it to my husband (back when he was first starting out with getting back in shape). He was so frustrated, and being a man, he'd rather stop working out than go to his knees. I guess his old gym teachers (when he was in school) used to refer to them...

We do this detox (I think copying and pasting this link will work). https://onnalomd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Marhhyman10daydetoxdie_03-03-2018_19.pdf I try to cut down on my junk food intake a few days before I go on the detox, because if I don't, I get a splitting headache around day 3...

FlemingCol56, yes, I've been there! I am actually underweight and have been my entire life, but when I hit a certain age, I got the pregnancy belly bulge. I solved it by accident. Basically, my husband had a bunch of health problems (including fatty liver diseased caused by a medication he was...

Aqua Girl, if you keep that up, I'm going to stand you in the corner and make you stack BBs! lol That's what my mom used to tell my sister and I whenever we weren't really doing anything wrong YET, but we were getting TOO creative. lol

I agree with Debinmi. Most strength training can be broken up. To tell the truth, when I have a really really specific goal in mind, I've intentionally worked on that goal at a separate time from my workout time, simply because it works so well. For instance, At one time, I could not do a...

I have 2 dogs. One is a chocolate lab and the little one is probably a Chihuahua Pomeranian mix. Both were from shelters. We'd always had big dogs, so the little one was a change for us. Both dogs "supervise" the physical therapy that we do with our son, with the little one walking under my...

ccmt, Debinmi is correct. I remember the response from Jenn. I was so relieved when I read it to find out that I hadn't been doing something that I shouldn't be doing. One of my ab/core workout days has been on my active recovery day for almost 3 years now. I had wondered over the years if it...

I haven't had a chance to do any more than a a couple of the recovery workouts from STS 2. Before the chaos of getting ready to move, however, I'd been doing strength training with Cathe (her many other workouts) and I lift light. I'm interested in lifting heavier, and recently someone on this...

We only have the one fridge, but we have a deep freeze in the basement. Sounds like you store your produce about the same way I do. Except, I haven't tried the paper towel thing. Our farmer's market just opened up this week and I bought lettuce, kale, chard, and leaf lettuce. I think I'm going...

Thank you!!!

Thanks for the good wishes on our new home. :) Fresh produce takes up a lot more room than we expected when we started eating more of (years ago). Closest grocery store that has organic, non-gmo, and "clean" food is 45 minutes away, so we only shop once a week - which stuffs our poor fridge. We...

I am with you on the whole joint friendly workouts. I consider myself fortunate, because I do not (and hopefully won't have issues with my knees), but I have learned on this forum that many others have knee issues. My wrists, however, are shot. I also have weak ankles, but have found that adding...

I think four is great! My son is disabled, and it took forever to teach him how to do a push-up on his knees. Once he learned, I started having him do 1 a day to transition from one of his physical therapy positions to the next. I was so proud of him that I told my dad about it. Dad said, "well...

I need to get one. I had one for a week, but my husband kind of stole it. He lifts heavier, so he needs it more than I do. When I get around to getting a new one, though, it's going to be mine. I love my husband, but he's a disorganized slob. It takes forever to get myself set up for a workout...

I don't have one, but at my old home, we did. We didn't build it that way. The previous owners did. Unfortunately they relied on a more standard sized fridge than we do, so the fridge we wanted to put there (from the home we were moving from) would not fit. For 13 years, I had to deal with a...

Thanks Debinmi! I have thought about seeing if I can take a peek at the floor underneath. The inspector suspects it subfloor, because there's evidently a crawl space underneath it. I didn't know there was a difference in the puzzle-mats, so thanks for letting me know, because I wasn't too...

Debinmi, you gave an excellent answer to dww's question - very informative, and I'd forgotten how much time my husband took to get ready for the first STS with the 1 rep stuff. He really enjoyed all of the prep work. It kind of mentally psyched him up for the whole thing. Me... I would have felt...

I own both, but have yet to do either. The first STS was purchased for my husband, while the second was bought for both of us. I've only done a few of the recovery workouts on the new STS, because we're moving, so I can't start a rotation right now. I'm responding with the one tiny piece of info...
