    RE: Ok - this is totally not a workout or Cathe related poll question. Rather it's about the continuing saga of my broken 3-y.o. top of the line refrigerator from Sears. I've been getting a horrible What Michelle said. Funny, but all of my experiences with Sears have been very positive...

    dealing with son's anxiety...

    The anxiety, to me, seems to come from his being a new kid. Encourage him to make friends in school. The more friends he makes, the more he's going to want to stay. Just keep reassuring him that he's going to do fine in school. Like everyone said, hugs, kisses, and tender words. Hope this helps...

    Polar F11 for Dummies

    Yes, Angust. Odd, isn't it? Goes against what you'd normally read. As it has been said repeatedly around here, different bodies, different responses. There is no way I can keep my HR at a lower range during cardio or circuits. I would have to do Bootcamp and just about every cardio and circuit...

    Polar F11 for Dummies

    I try to keep myself within the 60-70% range when lifting heavy, 70-80% range when doing endurance weights, and 80-90% when doing cardio/circuits. The keyword here is TRY. This is just a little guide I made for myself based on what I know about my body and how it responds to different kinds of...

    Polar F11 for Dummies

    No, you're not a dummy. I had to turn off mine because my heart rate simply goes beyond the "range" for my age group. My HR has always been this way, doesn't matter if I'm doing cardio or lifting weights. I'm good just using it on manual. Since I don't have set rotations (I have a basic workout...

    Overstock.com

    I bought a couple of sofa slipcovers from them before. The items came, and they were the wrong color. I returned them promptly, paying for even more shipping to return the items. I got no new slipcovers and NO REFUND. To make a long story short, they answered my e-mails with form e-mails. The...

    Favorite body part to work/favorite and least fav exercises.

    I'm with you on the shoulders, chest, and back, and I'd do any exercise for these parts any day except for pull-ups. I have to be mentally prepared to those. I'm also partial to triceps. Absolutely hate biceps, abs, and legs. I do them anyway. The body's gotta be balanced. For legs, my...

    When you miss a workout in a rotation...WDYD?

    If it's a cardio workout, I skip it. If it's a weight workout, I'll push it back one day and continue with whatever I plan to do from there. Pinky
