    Need another back exercise to sub for pullovers

    Ok, thanks! I'm going to get off my lazy Sunday butt and go give them a try now...

    Need another back exercise to sub for pullovers

    Hi Ann. We have a lat pulldown machine, so that is a definite possibility for me. I've been afraid to try them again though, because last time I tried them, I really messed up my neck and back. I think I was trying to go too heavy, so maybe I should just try again with lighter weight...

    Do you have a lipstick you just can't live without?

    I have a recommendation, not organic, but more "natural" than other lipsticks. They are called LumiLips by Lumiere cosmetics. It's a mineral make-up line. Love the color Holy Grail.

    Please don't get upset about my rant.

    Yes, that's be a good idea. But in my area, you'd need two or three of those <------to English dictionaries!

    Please don't get upset about my rant.

    I can empathize. I live in northern Virginia and I experience similar situations all the time. This sounds awful, but when I go to Walmart, I feel like I'm entering a foreign country. It's frustrating having check out people who can't speak English. That's one example, of many...

    Should dying Manson murderer be released?

    I pretty much agree with everyone else who has posted so far. Atkins should remain in prison. Period. I have no sympathy for these inmates that become born-again Christians. Even if she poses no threat to society now, she did an unthinkable crime that is unforgivable. She should've gotten...

    Exercise causing facial wrinkles?

    I'm serious! When I work out, I make some pretty weird faces. I've noticed that lately right after working out, my "11" lines are much more pronounced. Anyone else notice this?

    Anybody watch...so you think you can dance?

    I do! I'm hooked. I really like this show, makes me wish I could dance like that. I think it's going to be a really good season - a lot of good talent. I'd have a hard time choosing who to vote out though. I liked the girl that got the boot last night.

    Need another back exercise to sub for pullovers

    Thanks for the suggestions kathryn! I don't have resistance cords or a door attachment. I do have a pullup tower that I should be using, but haven't been. I wish I had Cathe's new Power Tower so it'd be easier to do modified pullups. I took a few weeks break from working out while on...

    Need another back exercise to sub for pullovers

    Hi Kristen, Thanks for the ideas. If you don't mind, I'd like to pick your brain a bit more. I thought about possibly doing rear db flyes instead of pullovers, but then Cathe does rear delt flyes in the shoulder section. I thought that although they target different muscles, they were...

    Need another back exercise to sub for pullovers

    I'm currently doing PUB. I love pullovers, but my shoulder has been bothering me off and on the last few months and pullovers tend to aggravate it. (By the way, so do overhead triceps extensions if that matters.) Anyone have any suggestions for another back exercise?

    Thanks for the suggestions Cathy! Those are great ideas.

    Need gift ideas please

    Thanks for the suggestions. Those candles look nice! I'm not opposed to regular flame candles, just thought that the new flameless ones I've seen are kind of neat. Make great night lights or good for power outages (which we just had). I don't know what kind of music she likes. I'd have...

    Need gift ideas please

    I want to spend $30-$50 on a family friend. She is in her mid-60s, into health/nutrition, yoga & other fitness, acupuncture...I have a few ideas, but would really like some suggestions. What I'm considering so far: a flameless butterfly candle (but it's made from China, don't know how...

    Who are you rooting for on Top Chef?

    I agree 100% with all three posts above mine. I liked Antonia and Dale. Thought they should be in the top four with Stephanie and Richard. Any of them would be deserving. Don't you think that $100,000 is kind of a lame prize? Especially after taxes...they should bump up the prize to...

    Who are you rooting for on Top Chef?

    I'm rooting for Stephanie too, although I think Richard is also deserving. If either wins, I'll be happy. If Lisa wins, I'll be mad. I can't stand her attitude, her scowls, her mouth, etc...

    I've just discovered almond butter.

    I love almond butter. Great on Ezekial(?) bread. However, while looking for peanut butter for DH, I came across some "natural" dark chocolate peanut butter. Soooo yummy.
