Okay, so I'm pretty sure half the folks on here have some sort of chondromalacia/PFPS issues, so do any of you have any interesting iliotibial band stretches you'd like to share? I've been doing the 'one foot in front, twist the torso and bend to the side' one, but that's the only one I know...

Whatever you think would create the least amount of stress for both you and doggie. I have the opposite problem; my dog's super friendly and loooves people. So if we tie him up and he's separated but within view of us, he'll whimper unless someones goes over to sit with and pay attention to him...

RE: Maybe the Yes, my apologies if my last post was on the rude side. I would of course appreciate a concerned warning, but if someone tells me I'm not only definitively wrong but slow to boot, I'm probably going to reply. Sorry.

That's just awful. I've been getting quite disillusioned with doctors lately. It seems a lot of them decide what your problem is before even examining you. I've learned to do as much research possible before setting foot in a doctor's office. Do you happen to know if the people who see...

I would not alter my windows in any way. You are NOT the one behaving inappropriately here. Give him a break for the one time, if it happens again (with either guy), call the cops. You do not need to change your behaviour, spend money on renovations, or feel uncomfortable. If having a chat with...

I have to say Fiber-One also. It's tasty enough to be enjoyable, but not so treat-like (most cereals fall into that category for me) that I want to eat 10 bowls. Plus, with the 60 cal and 14 g fiber I sort of think of it as 'free calories'. The fiber-one raisin bran crunch is really good, too...

RE: Maybe the So, perhaps you should read the article before >dismissing it. By ignoring both camps, you reinforce the >ignorance-is-bliss mentality and do yourself and humanity a >huge disservice. I read the article, thank you. I in no way encourage the "ignorance is bliss" mentality. I...

"God makes no mistake." God also helps them that help themselves. For an infant to be born into extreme pain and inevitable death, a loving God provides merciful options.

RE: Maybe the To each his own, but with a name like "aspartame kills", obviously there's a pre-established agenda. I've done plenty of research on this myself, and the one thing I'm convinced of is that for any claim made by either camp you can find a counterclaim somewhere else.

KPC is awesome, one of my favorite workouts ever. It's a tough workout, but learning the moves themselves isn't hard at all (I have a really low tolerance for complex choreagraphy). Are you talking 4x6 ft/yds/m? The warmup in KPC has some shuffling type moves from one side of the room to the...

Valerian root is a natural sedative. I took caplets while I worked night shift a few years back. I found it worked better than OTC sleeping pills, which just left me in half-asleep twitchy la-la-land. Only drawback is that it smells awful, like concentrated teenage boy dirty sock smell. I kept...

A friend of mine said the same thing this past week (ice cubes, not golf balls though). Everyone on the freeway had to pull over. He said in all his life in MI he's never seen anything like that. Seems like the weather really is getting worse these days.

I get the general idea of this workout and I've seen a few video previews. I'm wondering: 1. Has anyone noticed any joint/tendon issues with this? (I'm thinking elbow/wrist especially?) 2. Is it relatively easy to learn and maintain proper form? I have to be really careful with most upper...

"I'm thinking about getting this for my wife, she seemed intrigued by it when we watched the infomercial." Be sure to post back if you do! I think I'm hesitant to try it because of the fact that there is an infomercial for it. Seems infomercial stuff is usually for beginners. Did you mention...

I have exactly the same issue. I can do squats and lunges til my legs give out, kickbox, jog on cement, etc...but a beginner's level step workout? Not a chance. I actually killed my knee with step ups a while ago, and I have an appt with an orthopaedic surgeon on Tuesday. My doc seems to...

Oops, I should've included a link. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcWHbqZYEOg I think I'd be tempted to use a weight that was too heavy for me to be swinging around like that, to try to make it more challenging. Plus I guess I'm wary of a technique that seems to utilize momentum...

And that just reminded me: http://www.proudnerd.com/cgi-bin/store/nerdshop.cgi/1528951262/proudnerd.45538636

You know how you're working out great for a while, feeling pretty good about yourself, and then you miss a day and suddenly feel like fatty mcfatterson, start noticing all these awful things in the mirror that weren't there the day before? At least that's happened to me. That's what I thought of...

Has anyone tried this? I'm curious as to how hard it is. It seems like anyone used to Cathe wouldn't get much out of it, although simultaneous resistance and cardio can be surprisingly difficult sometimes. Also, the "swinging" frightens me a little. I'm usually pretty careful with my neck...
