I have some friends that are very into barefoot running and it works for them. I do not think that the shoes we wear in this society are the be all end all. I would say if it intrigues you go for it, just start out slowly to let the structures in your feet become used to the new motion and...

I vote for getting a spin bike. You won't regret it.

catr is right both about the magazine and the saturation of the market. I was sick for a long time a few years ago and made a lot of jewelry. More because I like the act of making jewelry than anything. I have tried to sell it through many avenues and had no success. So if you like making...

I have to say when I was doing the FIRM they were advocating using FIRM tapes 5 days per week. My body absolutely hated it. I was miserable. I know that the weights in the FIRM are relatively light, but I still think that 3 days a week is appropriate.

I am with naynay. I want to cook more and I just have no idea on how to go about it. It is really frustrating since I am competent in other areas of my life, but can't seem to master cooking. I am looking for recipes with really strong flavors. I love things like garlic, onions and...

I had forgotten about Harry Potter being released that day. It will be a good day indeed :)

I had problems that presented like gallbladder problems. I had my gallbladder out and still had major problem, still pain upon eating that seemed just like a gallbladder attack. It took a long time to find a specialist who ultimately figured out it was Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. Basically...

I didn't want to hijack a previous thread, but I wanted to give my 0.02. On another thread a poster had touched on how different clothes are cut and how they fit differently. I just wanted to touch on that a bit more. I sew much of my own clothes so I look at ready to wear a little...

I have a Wavemaster and really like it. It is a very big cumbersome piece of equipment though. Mine is filled (most of the way) with water, I do think the water is a good choice. I have never had to empty out the water and I am glad because it would not be fun. There is a method to moving it...

I am right there with you. I downloaded the app to my phone as soon as I heard about it. I think it makes the GWF that much more powerful. I didn't know about the new bluetooth model. Hmmm, maybe a good Xmas idea.

I am going as a fully decked out Queen from the Renaissance era. I made everything including the corset and the jewelry. I am really excited since this is just about the coolest thing I ever made (I think I even like it better than my wedding dress which I made, don't tell dh) :o

Awesome! I am so excited when I read it I screamed out loud :o Thank goodness I am alone :D

I have Insanity, but I too think it is overkill. I think Kathryn is right on the money when she said to use it on one to three non-consecutive days per week. Here is my real problem with Insanity. It is intended to have you working in the anaerobic glycolysis system. But the anaerobic...

Julie - It may be the fat in the almond butter that is filling you up. Fat is important for satiety.

Most fitness instructors really struggle with this. Since we have to reverse our Rights and Lefts and that needs to be instinct we get pretty messed up. When we are first learning to reverse our right and left we are pretty much useless giving directions or following a GPS :o:o:o

I'm a Zumba instructor and have the Zumba DVD's and I don't care much for the dvd's. It is funny I don't like the dvd's because I LOVE teaching Zumba and I have a lot of highly choreographed dvd's that I really like. It may be how Beto and the other instructors relate to the camera, hmmm, not...

I have never leased a car but last summer I bought a brand new (orange) 2008 Kia Rio. They were doing whatever they could to get them off the lot since they were the previous model year and I got my brand new car for $9,000. I tend to keep my cars for over a decade so over time it is really...

I have looked at these workouts repeatedly and never went for it since they looked like they spent a lot of time breaking down the moves which makes me crazy. Am I wrong in my assumption? Shayne

I leave for a cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday. As long as I can get aboard the ship I am not worried. I have been on a cruise during a hurricane before and they just drive around it. My only concern is if we won't be able to dock the day I was most looking forward to.

I vote for a spin bike. It will last forever and it imminently versatile. If you do choose to get a road bike and put it on a trainer be aware that it does not behave the same as a spinning bike. A spinning bike has a weighted fly-wheel which allows you to stand up and get even tension...
