    Cedie's looking lean!

    Well, she's always been lean but she seems more so since the last series. Did any of you notice this or am I just imagining it? I know video cameras can alter one's size but the rest of the crew seem the same size in your pictures as they do in the videos. Great pictures everyone...

    Cathe's strongest body part in gym style upper body

    I can't use as much weight as Cathe in those areas either, and I don't even do half of those push-ups on my toes. I'm thinking that she is able to lift more because she trains at the gym - has a spotter, etc. Not saying that it can't be done just by using Cathe's w/o's but it is easier to push...

    Totally confused:I just got my SHAPE magazine and it says

    I was taught in my resistance training class that heavy weights/ low reps increase muscle density, moderate weight/high reps increase the circumference of the muscle fibers. That's why body builders use low-moderate weight/high reps to increase the muscle size and create cuts. competative...

    Does anyone beleive in future telling?

    I had a reading done 4 years ago and she told me that I would be engaged in 2 years but it wouldn't be until the end of the year - My DH proposed 2 years later in Nov.(I never told him what she said) She told me that I'd be at my job for another 5 years and then I'd be making a big change...

    Push Ups

    I'm now able to do 16 straight push ups on my toes. I made a conscious decision two months ago to do as many push ups on my toes as I could squeak out (only 1 or 2 at first) then modify to my knees. They weren't pretty at first and I definitely only went down about half as far as I can now...

    Where did you go for you honeymoon?

    We went to Maui for 5 days and stayed at a fantastic resort with a very private beach - the sea turtles would come up to a cluster of rocks just past the shore line at 2:00 everyday, they were amazing to watch - so big yet gracefull. Then we went to Kauai for 8 days and stayed in a condo on the...

    Does anyone watch Blow-Out

    I've seen it once. Jonathan is so conceited, although he's ambitious and successful but there is something to be said for modesty. I saw his hair products at Sephora.com the other day so apparently he was able to make the "best hair products in the world" - they were surprisingly inexpensive...

    Mattresses

    Do you flip your mattress regularly? I flip and rotate everytime I change the bedding which really helps prevent sagging - that and having a really supportive box spring.

    Mattresses

    Our mattress is a Sealy and it's been great - really comfortable, firm but not hard, and we've had it for 5 years with no sag so far. However, during my wedding weekend 2 years ago my in-laws rented out a bed and breakfast for the out of town guests to stay in - the B&B was completely...

    Give KickMax kicking & punching combo's another chance

    I found the exact same thing. The first 2 times I did the combos I though...hmmmm, not all that challenging - but now when I do it I put all my focus into where the punch or kick is coming from and boy do I feel it the next day! The leg drills have really improved my kicking height and form...

    What brand vitamin do you take and what time of day do you take it....

    Midnight - how do you take the calcium citrate? Do you take it at the same time as your multivitamin, and do you take all 1000 mg's together or break it up? I was taught that the body can only absorb 600 mg's max. of Ca at a time - does the magnesium do something that would allow the body to...

    Question for all the runners out there

    Sorness is definitely normal, any new form of exercise will usually cause DOMS. My hipflexors are usually sore the day after a run and my calves too if I ran on an incline. Interval training is a great way to ease into running and it burns lots of calories and keeps your muscles guessing :)

    What brand vitamin do you take and what time of day do you take it....

    I take Women's One-a-Day at night before I go to bed. Most mult-vitamins are similar in ingredients. A vitamin should dissolve in less than 20 mins, you can test that using a small cup of white vinegar - if it's not dissolve in under 20 mins its not getting into your system and you'll just...

    Victoria Secrets catalogue buyers

    I had the same problem a few years ago and closed my account because of it - it's a ridiculous business practice. I could see if they sold clothes in their stores and you could try on items there or exchange/ return merchandise.

    What the heck? I've got zits!

    Are you using a new toothpaste by any chance? I recently figured out that I can't use whitening toothpaste as it makes my lip and chin area breakout - I'm not a particularly messy brusher either. Just a thought. Maybe it's stress related?

    Gym style premixes

    GSL has two timesaver premixers that are about 50 mins but they are great because the really get your heart rate up into the cardio zone. Half is standing leg work, the other half is floor legs w/ the band or stability ball.

    Completely panicking over here , need some prayers please...

    Good luck with everything - I know it's hard not knowing what's going on. My friend had a health scare last month with extremely high blood pressure, because of her young age they thought she may have a kidney or heart disorder, turns out it's just hypertension but she was really nervous...
