    Nordic track treadmills?

    I have a nordic track commercial, not sure of the model number. I bought about 3 years ago, maybe 4 at Costco and use it to run when I can't get outside. I love it!!! It has 1300 miles on it and runs like it's brand new.

    Full marathon training

    I'm not sure about a "formal" plan but the last time I trained for a full marathon, I used a 3 day a week schedule. Tues/Thurs/Sat, long run was always on saturday. The days I didn't run were spent lifting. I usually took 1 or 2 days a week totally off to recover.

    good barbell recommenation

    I have a 100 lb barbell made by CAP. I purchased it at Dunhams Sporting Goods, I think it was $120, or so. Dunhams often offers 20% coupons. The ends are threaded but to be honest, I've never found it to be a problem. I like it because it holds more weight that the others. I don't consider...

    Do any of you have some simple recipes for marinades, specifically chicken marinades? I'm tired of using the same ones.

    Heel pain after years of pausing from stepping

    The other thing I wanted to say was, pay attention to how your foot lands when your stepping. When I ran I was allowing my heel to strike the ground before the rest of my foot. After the PF/heel spur I made sure that when I ran, I had my forefoot or the ball of my foot strike the ground before...

    Heel pain after years of pausing from stepping

    I developed PF along with a heel spur from running. I did the same stretch Debbie is talking about. The other thing I did was start going barefoot all the time. I know alot of dr's say never go barefoot or recommend custom inserts for your shoes. But for me going barefoot helped strengthen...

    Pet Sitters ?

    We have dogs and whenever we go on vacation we have the neighbor girl come by 3 or 4 times a day. She feeds, walks, let them out, ect. We've never had anyone spend the night here, just doesn't seem necessary. She's high school age and I thinnk we pay her $10 or $15 a day.

    Total Body Weight Work

    So I finally did Maximum Intensity Strength today and I just have to say .....I LOVED IT!!! It's an awsome workout. It's a straight forward, no non sense, tough, weight work out which I love. I cannot believe I've had that DVD for years and never done that work out. I'll certainly be doing it...

    Total Body Weight Work

    I just previewed Maximum Intensity Strentht. I've had that DVD for years and never done that workout. It's looks terrific!!! I can't believe I never really noticed it before. I've done PowerHour many, many times but not MIS. I can't wait to try it. Maybe tomorrow or Friday.

    Total Body Weight Work

    After doing mostly 3 day a week splits for weight work, I've decided to concentrate on total body weight work. I've recently done STS Total Body, and Muscle Max, which is a favorite, but I'm wondering what other dvd's have total body workouts that come in around an hour? I'm thinking that most...

    So what's your favorite Cathe background scenery?

    For some reason I never seem to remember the backgrounds. Maybe because I'm just working too darn hard!

    Tell me this mom is joking!!!

    I think this is awful, but unfortunally I'm not surprised that many parents think this is just fine. I'm SHOCKED by the dance "clothes" that a lot of parents let their girls wear to my dsughters dance class, were talking a sports bra and tiny shorts.....and that's it. What makes me just as mad...

    Maintaining current level of fitness through pregnancy

    I have 4 kids, and continued to work out through them all, even running a marathon at 14 weeks with my last child. I think if your body is used to it then it's fine. The one thing I did avoid was laying flat on my back after the first trimester. I just listened to my body, if it felt like I...

    Whey Protein

    I use the double chocolate by designer whey. It's a favorite becasue it's sweetened with stevia, and the price is reasonable.

    Intensity & Body Max 2

    Can you guys tell me how complicated the step portion is of these two work outs? I'm not a big step person, I don't care for the ones with complicated dance moves. I've done IMAX 2 without problem, and some of the other more athletic step. I think I'd like to try these but am afraid of wasting...

    Truly words to live by

    This couldn't have come at a better time. I had to have my dog put down yesterday and I've been heartbroken ever since. Thanks (as I sit here with tears streaming down my face, again)

    When did Running Bras Get so expensive?

    Didn't this set off alarm bells in your head? If B or C is what you wanted why didn't you insist on them? Why agree to DD's? I've have plastic surgery and so have a few of my friends, and we all agree it's one of the best decisions we've made. I'm not promoting it, but I think if you want...
