got it! After reading all of the good reviews here, I got the DVD (buns, abs, arms). I've done arms and abs and really like it. With arms, she moves fast so you think you need a light weight, but should probably try a med-heavy weight to see results. It can get boring, but moves fast so it's...

rachel hunter! Don't get jealous, but I have the 2-set tape by Rachel Hunter!!! It's the easiest thing ever. It's like doing a loooong warmup. Part is filmed on like the side of a cliff. She's sweating like it's so hard and complains- she's only sweating a lot (which looks gross) cause it's 100...

I have an appointment with a nutritionist soon and wanted some advice. I've seen 2 nutritionists before. The first one was into all of these weird herbs, and the second basically just handed me a printout of what I *should* eat (without considering that I may hate the foods on the printout). I...

I like Healthy Choice grilled chicken and mashed potatoes. It smells gross (my friends make fun of me for eating it) and I know it's processed, but I think it's more balanced than say a donut. It's good for a light meal or snack - only 200 calories.

Geri's height I just read that Geri is about 5'2"-5'3". She's actually coming out with a yoga video!! Her yoga instructor said that Geri is short/small framed so not everyone can look like her.

Info! I copied a quote from her that was in People magazine regarding her workouts. "I've been every shape and size," says the former Ginger Spice, who has now figured out what she really, really wants: a balanced mix of cardio, kickboxing and, most importantly, an ab-solutely fabulous...

I just found out I'm going to the shore in a week. I haven't been very diligent with my eating and exercising since I don't gain weight that easily. However, I do have a layer of flab everywhere. Is there any hope to at least look a little better in a week? I'm not expecting miracles. My main...

I'm not sure how you were thinking of formatting it, but I definately think you should break up the tape into sections. Some could be shorter, some longer. Any ab workout over 10 mins gets boring! Also try to include lower back work since it's easiest to fit in after abs, and most of us forget...

Other than genetics, how can I ensure that I'll be fit and healthy as I get older (I'm 24)? I don't want to be someone who's totally inflexible, has no energy, can't do tough workouts, etc. Does it just require the 3 basics (plus diet): stretching, cardio, and weights? Should I put an extra...

This is totally off topic, but I was curious where/when you first met your husbands/boyfriends? I just graduated college and am wondering if I'll ever meet someone. My friends all have serious boyfriends so I get jealous, although I definately don't want their relationships. A lot of people...

Does anyone find that if they don't workout right after work (for me, this usually means going to the gym on the way home), they won't workout? This happens to me ALL the time! I intend to workout, but once I relax, it's like murder getting up the motivation to exercise! It's tough for me to...

I did S&H for 4 weeks. At first, I did the sections as they were set up. But when I was short on time, I split them. I liked this better because it can get boring (unfortunately, I got bored quickly doing these) doing a couple sections at a time and it's NO fun doing workouts you're not into...

I'm another sugar lover (I wish I was one of those people who didn't like sweets!). I just eat sweets when I want because when I try to 'ban' then, I just crave more and more. So my mind and body are happier just eating when I want them. Things usually even out if you only eat the sweets when...

I have no kids so I can't advise you there. But, what's your cardio routine like? Do you just do step? You may want to add more types of cardio. Running is a great calorie burner (plus it tones your legs/butt). Spinning is also tough. It's easier if you go to a gym where you could take different...

What do you think the worst foods to eat are? Some junk has at least some good stuff. Like, ice cream has calcium; pizza can be a somewhat ok meal if it's not loaded with meat, xtra cheese and crust; Snickers have peanuts, etc. I guess doughnuts and fries would be up there with the worse (2 of...

I agree with you. For most of us, doing just a few basic exercises doesn't cut it. I love it when mags like Cosmo or Glamour, say you can get a sexy bikini bod in 4 weeks by doing 3 days of cardio and just a few toning exercises - I wish!! Anyway, mags like "Muscle & Fitness Hers", "Oxygen"...

I like "Lethal Abs". It has 3 sections - basic abs, back, and advanced abs. The sections are about 10 mins, I think. The advanced part is tough. The whole tape is good though. I also like "Firm Parts: 5 day abs" for a faster ab workout.

capris Just wanted to say to all of you who don't like capris, most of my guy friends have mentioned (at seperate times) that they hate capris! They just do not like them. The other day there was this really pretty, "perfect" looking girl walking by and they commented on her, but said "Why do...

I use the ones that are sold in stores that have a have lotion on one side of the bottle and a tanner on the other side and they mix together when they come out. I think they're made by Coppertone (light aqua bottle) and Bain de Soliel (brown bottle). I just got one at Target for $9.99. They...

Thanks Thanks everyone! I appreciate all of your comments and they're all helpful. It's true though that she has to be motivated to want to do it. I'll try one step at a time though. Maybe I can get her a pedometer since I read it's a good motivator and you need to take 10,000 steps daily...
