    Teens and sex

    I think where we land in society has so much more to do with one person or one event. IMO the bottom line is, if our 12, 13, 14 year old girls think this is the way to go, then we are failing them on a greater level than can be blamed on Bill and his peccadilloes. There's nothing wrong with...

    Holiday Stress And/Or Overtraining

    Te Te, great advice. Sometimes I think it is hard for we dedicated fitness people to remember that the wellness road is a long one, and there is no need to sprint down it every single day. Some days we sprint, some days we walk and other days we just crawl on our hands and knees, begging...

    Holiday Stress And/Or Overtraining

    Jen, I find I always feel a little burned out this time of year. I pushed myself through P90x chest and back today, and didn't do the number of pushups I normally do. Don't know if it's Xmas and being busy or overtraining. Either way, it possible for you to take a few days off? Sparrow...

    Biceps - Not Hitting Them?

    Hey all, happy Friday!! Just looking for some advice from those in the know about biceps. I've really improved on the strength in them, and can curl #20 to #22, depending on the day. I do 8-10 and the last couple are tough. The problem is, I don't see any change in size, nor do I feel any...

    OK, next Xmas question--what's your favorite song?

    Burl Ives - Holly Jolly Christmas. Pretty much all the classics really. I also like several of the more up to date ones but I don't know the names! One is a Garth Brooks' one (about a way, silent night, something like that), one is by a girl and involves a bird being freed from a cage and the...

    Wal Mart sucks!

    Michele, as usual I agree with everything you have said in this thread. :D Couple of things I have heard about both Walmart and Target, take them with a grain of salt of course: - Walmart promotes more women into managerial/supervisory/high level positions than any other retailer (of...

    This was an e-mail from a soldier i was told

    OK, I was so confused as to why someone in a burqa would cause so much trouble that I actually went and read the article at Snopes. Honestly, I don't see them as taking one side or another. They very clearly point out that many Iraqi woman are secular and don't cover (true) and that it is rare...
