Ladies, my question has to do with matching the right shoes to your body type. I do not have a great sense of fashion, but I do want my legs looking great with the right type of shoe. I have muscular, shapely calves and I want to wear shoes that will accentuate them. Any suggestions??? Robin

Thanks Amy!!!

Does anyone know what type of shoe that Cathe wears? I know their Ryka, but which kind? Thanks.

Absolutely, especially my legs. While I work out with weights, I enjoy seeing the muscles being worked in the mirror. As of late, my calves have finally gotten that 'diamond cut' to them, so they pop out when i stand on my toes, i love that look!

Paula: I agree, you need two seperate pairs of shoes. As a competitive tennis player I once was in college, I tried many shoes through my tennis career and I love Diadora for tennis. You can visit holabird sports online and they have a huge selection of diadora as well as many other tennis...

Hey Cathy, here is a link that will give you some more insight about plyometrics: www.brianmac.demon.co.uk/plymo.htm. It has some good stuff about plyometrics. I also agree with Gayle, make certain your hamstrings as well are fine tuned. Enjoy!!! Robin

Hello Cathy: How are you doing? My husband has been skiing for over 15 years and myself for about 5 years. Plyometrics are great for skiing preperation. Just make certain you have some great quads, because you will need them! We subscribe to Ski and Skiing magazines. Both of them always...

to all of you who are attempting push-ups and chin-ups, keep it up, that is great. My goal is to get past 30 in a row. Honeybunch1, what is your secret to getting to 100? I am sure a lot of us want to know. Thanks. robin

honeybunch1, you appear to be the winner so far, wow, that is 100 push ups, on your toes? very impressive!!!!

Okay, push-ups are brutal to do and so are pull-ups. I have been tracking my progress over the past few weeks. Now, at one time, I am up to 30 pushups and 6 pull-ups. What is the max that all of you out there can do at one-time?

Thanks for asking. I did not go to the doctor, I got home and did an ice/heat treatment on it and had my husband massage it down. It is still tender though. I was doing a cycling class yesterday and it just felt real tight. Lots of water, lots of stretching is what I have been doing. Just...

Ladies, you have convinced me, I will not liquidate our IRA! You all have been very consistent with your responses. Thank you soooooo much! You all rock!!!! Robin

Mspina and Leslie, thank you so much for your advice. This is a really difficult situation, that is planning for retirment. The thing is, we have had three meetings with financial planners and we like this one the best. She did say, that after the first year, we can reduce our life insurance...

I was in the gym the other day doing the calf raise on the leg press machine. After 20 reps or so, on the top of the movement, where my feet were extended, I felt this incredible pain in my right calf. As I took the weight down, my calf muscle was bulged out. I never experienced this before...

Thank you all for your advice. We are both young, only 31 each. The reason why we were thinking about cashing that out was for a couple of reasons. We are putting a bunch of money into this variable annuity retirement vehicle; and the IRA that we have will not be able to go into this vehicle...

Since all of you women are guru's of the fitness world, I was hoping that some of you may have some tax advice. We have just taken a huge step toward retirment, we purchased additional disability insurance and a variable annuity retirement package that includes life insurance and retirement...

We have HP laptops, the pavillion series. Very fast, good guts to it, compact and inexpensive. Very good quality. Hope this helps.

What is the website for this video? I am interested. Thanks. Robin

Suzanne, that is impressive! Are you doing these as supersets, or do you have rest in between. Wow, I will try this. Thanks for the tip. Robin

I think it probably has a lot to do with just your biological make up and your body fat percentage. My body fat percentage is very low and my veins pop out when I work out. Both of my sisters were dance majors in college and both had very cut bodies, with low body fat, and both of them had...
