    Can anyone request a good pilates tape?

    Thanks for your reply Debra. I was wondering about the Windsor Pilates tapes. I was worried that they may be alot of hipe for advertising purposes. You are the first person I think I have heard recommend...or even talk about the Stott tapes. I am always looking for a tape that is as close to...

    Can anyone request a good pilates tape?

    I have been seeing so much out there lately about pilates. I would like to incorporate this into my current workouts, but I would like to see if anyone out there can recommend a particular instructor. I hate to buy a tape/DVD and then hate it. I am in particular looking for a great ab...

    Anyone able to tell me what extra risers for a step does for us?

    I saw this thread as well. I only use a 4" step. I get great results because I have the energy to really get my arms into it and I don't have any knee problems either when I do my step. Kim

    My running experience.

    Hi Briee. I'm not so sure that you will see any great results with running once a week. When I say results, I mean in your distance, time, etc. Adding a run once a week would be a great cross trainning exercise, but if you have any racing in mind, you would have to do it more than that in my...

    My running experience.

    Hi Yen. I too am a fairly new runner. I have been running for just over 2 years now. I agree with what you said about the improving being slow. When I started running, I did see improvement fairly fast, in my distance and weight loss (I began running after the birth of my last baby). But...

    How did you all do at Easter Dinner and with the candy?

    I did awful. We went home to my parents house for the weekend and my mom is a great cook and does not know the meaning of low fat. On Saturday, my dad's family came over and everyone brought such great things to eat. Even with a little taste of everything, I still had a way to full...

    Healthy Snacks

    Hi Tricia. I am also hypoglycemic. I have the same problem as you... I get hungry right after a great workout. One of my favorite after workout snacks is a piece of toast with natural peanut butter and some honey. I always try to make my after workout snack high in protein. It seems to stay...

    Inline Skates: a good workout?

    Hi Kathy. I'm not so sure about the exercising factor of it, but I do know from experience that it is much harder to in-line skate than it looks....alot of falling involved. If this is something that may aggrivate your condition, keep that in mind. It will take you a few times....if not...

    Scary

    I had some spotting with my last pregnancy. No clotting, just spotting. My doctor said that usually when you are going to miscarry, you will have very bad cramping. I have heard of women still getting their periods while they were pregnant. My doctor told me exactly what yours told you...

    How about a total SATBILITY BALL workout!

    I would also love to see a total stability ball workout. I have acquired some ball videos and they just aren't what I am looking for. I bet Cathe could do us proud with this one. Kim

    RE: Weaning off Paxil and gainning weight....anyone els... Hi Barbara. I did lose a few pounds while on it...maybe only like 3. It was so easy to maintain it though. Didn't have to think much in the way of food and I could hold it really easily. I could drop 2 extra pounds pretty easily...

    Weaning off Paxil and gainning weight....anyone else had this?

    Hi all. I was wondering if anyone else has had weight gain when weanning off of a drug such as Paxil or Zoloft. I am sooo frustrated. When I was on the meds I had no problem with my weight. Now, it seems my weight gain corresponds to my step down program. Is it just my imagination? I swear...

    Body Fat %

    Hi everyone. I just wanted to comment here. Women need body fat in order for our bodies to function properly. Some body fat on women is good. Just because someone is very slim, with "no" body fat does not make them healthy. My sister-in-law is very thin, hardly any body fat and she is so...
