I started eating nuts daily about ten years ago on the advice of a naturopath who was trying to figure out why I got really bad stomach aches. We discovered I had a wheat allergy. I lost a ton of weight without even trying (or really needing to for that matter). Now, ten years and two kids...

I know that every time I end a heavy-weight rotation (just did three weeks of S&H) this workout still kicks my butt! I'm not sure why that is, because I've definetely gotten stronger with the heavier weights (I can see AND feel it). I always think that when I do a couple weeks of the Pyramids...

I saw Juno last weekend...it's most definetely a must-see...especially if you like witty dialogue and hip references to punk rock and horror movie icons! For some reason, it is easy to get past the somewhat icky subject matter. Icky in that I have two young girls at home and probably need to...

There definetely is a full body premix...it's called the Bonus Combo I believe. It's just about an hour if I remember and it is an awesome workout!

I agree that both workouts are great additions to your program. They are very different. I always have awesome strength gains with S&H, but every time I do either Pyramid, I have major DOMS the next day! Probably because I don't do it as often!

My sister-in-law found a dress she loved at JCrew (which is cheaper than many gowns at bridal boutiques), but ended up finding the exact same dress, brand new for 40 bucks! I agree that you need to really make sure you're getting what the description says. I believe her dress came direct from...

Yes...I did a Rodney Yee routine the other day...first time I've done Yoga in many years. I am SO sore in my whole core, especially the obliques..they actually hurt to the touch! I've never had DOMS like this from any "core" workout. And I felt blissfully happy after as well. Now that I...

RE: Need a total body workout to go with the 4 day spli... I love MM for a total body and also the Bonus Combo from PUB/PLB.

or is the media just going crazy with it? For the past week or so, there is another news story daily about a person contracting and even dying from an antibiotic-resistant staph infection, which is being referred to as MRSA. I was hoping the health-care professionals out there could tell us...

I am also excited to finally get these workouts....however, I've totally loving running lately and ran in a 5K last weekend...it was SO fun! I ran much faster than I thought I would and am now psyched and inspired to try another one or two before it gets cold. So I figure then would be a good...

Thanks everyone...I know I totally should have realized all this earlier than the week before, but better late than never, I suppose! Hopefully I'll have a chance to try out your suggestions before my last run before Saturday! Thanks again! Aimee B.

Hello Educated Fitness People! I am running my first 5K race this weekend and I was hoping to gleen some advice about what to eat that morning. I normally do my cardio in the morning with nothing in my stomach but coffee. The race starts at 10:00 am, and I imagine if I don't eat by then...

I LOVED John Taylor from Duran Duran...he was the only poster I ever hung in my bedroom. Did you see him at the Concert for Diana? Now THAT made me feel old...

I've very often wondered if it was just me, or were people (friends, co-workers) were giving me strange vibes and looks when I tell them I work out , epsecially when I mention the usual 5:00am start time. I don't offer that info, of course. It usually just comes up in the course of...

I have noticed that I am also quite stronger than I used to be and in comparison to some males in similar situations to yours. However, my husband laughs at me every time I help him lift our canoe up and over our heads onto the roof of the car. I still have to grunt and groan and feel like I'm...

Checking in from Poughkeepsie!

Hi There! I've read your post and all the replies with great interest. I too am a public school music teacher (middle school...yikes!) and have been for 15 years. During the first few years of my career I felt the EXACT same way as you did. My only advice is to seriously consider all the...

I can relate! I have been reading for quite some time about "clean eating" on these forums and have heard more than once that alcohol is not exactly part of the plan! It's been the only thing that has prevented me from going out and reading about it myself! I do get the jist that I am pretty...

Wow...I've spent the past half hour reading everyone's responses and am struck both by the emotion of all who replied! I have a slightly different situation...my husband is the one who stays home with our girls, ages 6 and 4. I'm a teacher, so my actual hours are not quite as long as some...

Just wondering...I was reading in the paper how today is a popular day for weddings due to the "lucky" date: 7/7/07. I am actually going to wedding today. Anyone else?
