    Are there any 'band only' premixes on any Hardcores?

    I agree with kathryn, you could adapt about any of the exercises to do with a band. The P90X series usually has one exerciser using only a band and the rest use weights. I always travel with bands and they work great. I've even done squats with a band under my feet. You can hold the ends any way...

    RE: Parents do you make stupid threats to your children... If you don't stop I'm going to ground you for the rest of your life.

    Do you ever feel incredibly loney?

    Yes I feel incredibly lonely a lot of the time. I'm an introvert, which I define as recharging myself through quiet times at home (note at bottom about this). I've also had few friends throughout my life because of frequent moves, and I'm not especially close to my family (both parents have...

    What happened to our Book Club?

    I second the Stephanie Plum series for easy, light, funny reading. Not a lot of depth there but they are hilarious!

    Clean eaters....what are you giving out as Halloween treats?

    I have always given out candy except a couple years ago when I was loosing a lot of weight and didn't want any candy around (I never met a candy I didn't like). That year I bought some little toys from here...

    Silly question about makeup

    I put the eye shadow on first. Then I brush off my lashes with a clean brush - because sometimes I see people with eyeshadow on the tops of their lashes, and I think that looks awful! Then I put mascara on last.

    Mom delivers 16th child!!!! YOWZA!!!

    My sister-in-law comes from a family with 17 kids. The mom lost two at birth so she has actually produced 19 children. But since there were 2 sets of twins I guess she has only been pregnant 17 times (!!) I'm always fascinated with her family and asking all sorts of questions... like how do you...

    Do you shower and shampoo after every workout?

    ""I'm really hesitant about showering or shampooing too much. Neither is good for the skin/hair & I rarely shower twice a day. LauraMax"" If I shampooed my hair even once every day I would have a head of straw! I have really dry hair and skin, and if I use too many soap products no amount...

    The flu shot?

    I have never had a flu shot either. I get the occasional flu (once every few years) but it comes and goes quickly for me. The way I understand it the flu virus mutates easily and quickly. If it didn't mutate we would have lifelong immunity once we had been infected, like the chicken pox. So...

    Listening Gear

    I use an mp3 player. Some of them are so small and light you could just clip them on your shorts. Mine is a little bigger and I have a neoprene belt that it fits in and buckles around my waist. I use mine a LOT, probably more than most people would.

    Food combining..... what people don't know

    This concept isn't new at all. Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss was written in 1939 and is full food combining do's and don'ts. I read this book in the 70's and could not imagine eating like that. I still can't.

    Is it okay to wear running shoes for step?

    I use my running shoes for step sometimes. They have more room in them than my other shoes, so I wear them when my feet are swollen for some reason. The difference in the shoes is that runners are made for forward motion. The slightly flared soles try and keep the foot from side to side motion...

    Squats

    I don't know what to tell you about squats, but I'm in awe of anyone that can squat 225 pounds!!!! Even 115 is amazing! You are one strong woman. I do know what you mean about bread though. I think we all know what good carbs and bad carbs are, and which ones we should eat. (I'm sick to death...

    This is pretty neat....

    I've seen several versions of this over the last while and I still fall for it every time! omg I'll be laughing for a month over my son's reaction though. It has that calm music and I'm telling him in a quiet voice *now watch close... I think you can see it just past this tree* LOL Poor kid.

    milk, does it really do a body good?

    I don't like milk either and I can't remember the last time my oldest son drank any. He will have milk on cereal but that's it. His pediatrician told me to have him take a calcium supplement every day and he would be fine. It is really hard (impossible in my case) to get kids to eat or drink...

    Wow! Calling all who are 40+

    I know the 7 keto DHEA is highly recommended in a lot of circles. It is much safer than regular DHEA which is a hormone precursor. I am all for supplementing the diet but the recommendations can be overwhelming. It seems like all the experts have a list of recommended supplements, and the...

    New avatar/pic of my boys! :-)

    Great looking boys! with great smiles! (I think they got them from the same place :-) You should be very proud. I have 2 boys a couple years apart... 10 and 12. We are inching up on a picture like that, just before one goes off to college. I've dreaded the day they would leave since the day they...

    Anyone else have keratosis pilaris?

    These bumps have bothered my as long as I can remember! I just recently discovered that there was actually a name for them and just how many other people have them. I can make the bumps disappear (but I still have scars form them) by using a physical exfoliant (I use a pumice stone) followed by...
