    This is true, but I don't know my way around NYC and I tend to get nervous in unfamiliar places. Hopefully I can convince myself to do it, I tend to back out when I get nervous. Elsie, I had a flea issue with my dog recently as well. I saw 2 fleas on her and panicked!! I vacuumed the entire...

    I have never tasted ginger root tea, how do you make it? I sometimes eat ginger chews, so yummy. They have them at the AG studio for when people get nausea from being upside down. Today I did LIS-LIC extreme challenge, I have never done this one before. It ends with the bonus step segment from...

    Hi Elsie, Having my dad agree to the med alert was a real stress reliever, I did not think he would agree to it. I just hope he wears it, he promised he would. He has a lady who does some superficial cleaning every 2 weeks, but that is all the help he has. I wish I lived closer to help him. I...

    Elsie, I used to do Tamilee Webb's Buns of steel videos all the time! I remember they seemed so difficult and I would be sore for days. I would love to try those videos today to see if they are still as "tough" as I remember. I would rotate between her w/o's, karen Voights and Gilads. Prior...

    I decided not to do yoga today, I was sort of in the mood to do cardio so I did afterburn. It was much easier after a 4 day rest, lol. I then did the core section from muscle max, I cannot remember the last time I did that w/o. I hope you guys are having a good day.

    Hi everyone, I have been in Pgh (my hometown) for the past 4 days for a family wedding. We had a blast!! My entire family was able to come in for the wedding so it ended up being a family reunion as well. Way too much eating and drinking, I really need to get back on the fitness path this week...

    Bakers cyst

    I have had one in my left knee due to arthritis. My cyst dissolved on its own, but I know many people who need to get them drained. Mine took about 3 weeks to dissolve, it was pretty uncomfortable to walk or bend my knee during that time. They will reappear if the arthritis gets irritated, so i...

    I did LIS-LIC again today so I could get the choreography a little better. I didn't need to rewind at all today, that is a first! The choreography in this dvd was quite a challenge in the past, I was pleasantly surprised how much easier it was this time around. I did a grokker yoga as well by...

    I haven't done "true" step w/o's because of my knees in at least 6 mo., today I decided to try LIS-LIC and only used a 6" step. I forgot how much I enjoy step!! It took me so long to learn this w/o when I first received it, but I only had to rewind a few parts. I am hoping I can start doing more...

    Thank you Cendrine and Katie. :) Katie, I do not know what it is about men of a certain age and not taking medicine for their brain/mental health. They'll take cholesterol meds but not anti-depressants Exactly!! Cholesterol meds are so unnecessary most of the time, I have tried to get my dad...

    Elsie, My father also lives about 5 hours away, it is hard being so far away. When I mother was diagnosed with her cancer I got home as much as I could, but with 3 children it wasn't easy. I am fortunate to have 2 brothers who live close to him. My brothers are great but they don't do the...

    Elsie, I am sorry to hear your father is ill, I hope all goes well for him. I did STS 7 today, the 100 RC for lat raises, scarecrows and bicep curls, and the abs 2 from RWH. Overall a good w/o!! I hope you had a nice weekend, it was cool and rainy here in the NE.

    Wow a 6.5 hr hike, that is a lot of hiking! I don't think my knees would like that very much. I didn't get any yard work done this weekend either, not because of rain, just laziness!! It was so hot and humid here that I didn't have the energy to do it. I did CSS today, it is one of my favorite...

    Today I did slide and glide, this w/o always seems to bother my knees for some reason. I guess it will be another one to put in the "I can not do it anymore pile". This pile is getting larger, lol. I really hope this new series will be good for all my ailments. Tomorrow I plan to do some yard...

    Today I did STS 3, the 100 rep for hip thrusts, and ab circuit stability ball. I modified a few moves and kept the wts light so hopefully my knees will be ok later in the day. I really hate having to modify things I had once mastered! Getting old and having joint pain really sucks! Elsie, I...

    So on mon I did STS 1, today STS 2. I dropped my wts considerably from last time and my golfer's elbow seems to be back! It was feeling so much better so this is a big disappointment. I am going to see what happens next week, I may have to give up on this program for now. I was doing RWH for...

    Hi LAdies, Last week was mostly yoga, took off fri, sat and sun to visit with my boys in VA. This week I am starting STS for 3 1/2 mo. I haven't decided if I'll do just the UB section or try to do the STS legs. I may do the legs in meso 1 & 2, definitely not in meso 3 since it is plyometrics...

    Yesterday was AG fitness and yoga, both were really good. Today I did AG airbarre, I haven't been able to get to the airbarre classes lately, it reminds me a little of turbo barre but with the hammock. The owner just got certified to start training teachers and asked me if I would be interested...
