I generally do splits of cardio some days and weights others, but I like to try to throw in a circuit workout once a week or so.

You can also reduce the length of your lever (legs) - bend your knees and hold the ball between your knees. Shorter lever and reduced ROM will reduce the intensity of the exercise. As you get stronger you can straighten your legs and use a larger ROM. That's a tough move!

Dang! We're going to have to start calling her 'Mistress Cathe'!}( }(

Hi there! Where do you buy your exercise equipment? I've only been able to find a Reebok Step, no High Step at all. I've also not had great luck finding dumbbells or barbells. I'm making do w/ various dumbbells now and it's fine, but I'm planning on going on an equipment buying spree when we...

RE: Has anyone traveled between London and the US latel... Oh yeah, the fashiony/euro style trainers are totally cool! Just not bright white.}( Annie, nice to see another American expat! How long have you been in the UK? Are you a permanent expat, or will you move back to the States...

Hope you're having a great trip - let us know how it went when you get back!:-)

I think Leaner Legs is on the Crosstrain Express DVD. It was available on its own as a VHS at one point, but I don't know if it still is.

RE: Has anyone traveled between London and the US latel... Hi Shelbygirl! Jeans are quite acceptable in London, if they are 'nice' jeans. That's my opinion, though - I see a lot of scruffy jeans in London, but I don't like that look.:-) I wear jeans and boots or heels a lot in the city. It's...

Melody, I will certainly keep you and Wil in my prayers. I have an 8 yo boy too - aren't they the best?:-) My little guy had a mishap and fractured his wrist and is in a cast for at least a couple weeks and isn't happy about it at all. Then I read Wil's story and am reminded what a very, very...

Owwwww! I did Push Pull today, skipping some of the leg stuff (lunges and leg presses) and doing no weight squats, deadlifts as normal (since my hams aren't sore.) If anything, I am more sore this evening than yesterday! I'm hoping it's just the DOMS working itself out - we'll see how I feel in...

The Heathrow Express is a quicker way into central London, rather than the Tube. Heathrow Express is direct to London Paddington station, then just get on the tube. You'll have to change lines at least once either way (Express or regular Tube,) but the maps are pretty easy to figure out. Try...

My little warrior fractured his wrist playing footie and has an arm cast for a couple weeks. Any tips for keeping the cast dry while he bathes/showers? Thanks!

Thanks for the great advice everyone! I think my next run/walk will be Saturday, as DH is out of town until late Friday night, so I can't leave my little broken-armed guy alone in the house! That should be enough time for rest, don't you think? School starts Tuesday, though, so I should be able...

>What time do you get out of bed???? >I would skip the legs. Stretch the shins and legs. Just go >upper body crazy today and maybe abs. >Anne I usually get up around 7.30. I'm planning on working out later this afternoon, before dinner. I spent half the day in the ER w/ my 8 yo son -...

Ooof! I went running yesterday for the first time in many years (yeah me:D ) and I knew I would be sore, but my quads, hip flexors and shins are really sore today (DOMS.) I was planning on doing weights today - just got Push Pull & Supersets. Should I skip legs? Or just take it as I find it and...

This one is a new fav! Can be easily adjusted for however many people you are cooking for (it was just me last night.) one red bell pepper two smallish (plum or other) tomatoes one chicken breast (or white fish fillet) fresh basil one glove fresh garlic olive oil Cut the pepper in...

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone! I went to a specialist running store today and the guy check out my feet, my gait (walking and jogging) and asked about any past injuries. He then recommended three different pair in my price range, I tried them on and picked the ones that felt the best...

I'm going to try running for some cardio today - it's been years since I've run, but I was going to pick up the papers the other day and jogged to the corner store and it felt great! So I decided to go get myself a proper pair of running shoes and start walking/running and see how it goes. A lot...

I really like to use harissa paste on chicken. Harissa is Morrocan - I find it either in the spice section w/ other spice mixes/rubs, or in the ethnic sections. It's spicy and yummy!
