The twists in the pool: 1. Put your hands on the steps, and let your lower body kind of float but still be submerged in teh water, then bend knees in and twist to one side, then twist to another. You can keep you heels on the floor or the pool if you like or try to do it supended in water...

Another dressing you can use for your salad that's low cal, is fresh lemon juice. This is actually about the only way I'll eat a salad, my mother got me hooked on it when I was little and now can't stand any type of dressing, as it's either too oily, or too greasy. But it can really liven up...

Happy B-day Christine. 1. I haven't passed a kidney stone in a year. A very big mile stone for me, as I was nearly passing them every 6 months on the dot for over 3 years. Though I still got 20 stones in each kidney. But as long as they don't move, I'm happy. 2. My family is...

My friend who teaches pre-school has noticed really tall kids even there, they are all under 4 years old generally 2-3 years old, and she's 4 foot 7, there are a few there that are only an inch or two shorter then she is. Now those are some tall 3 year olds, it's funny, as the parents still...

If you want to mixed it with a ton of different fruit, it's best to get vanilla, as you can cover up the vanilla easier then chocolate, unless you love chocolate on everything. For right now try to find sample packets, and try it. As everyone is different and what tastes good to one person...

I don't think you could go wrong with any of Cathe's DVDs, but I love Kickmax, it's one of my favorite for cardio, it's very intensive with lots of high impact and very fast moves. For strength you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose but I'd add on of the strength series like PS, or...

I haven't tried Bryan Kest, but I do like Rodney Yee's and have quite a few of his Yoga tapes. For me at first he came off being a bit odd, but his style of teaching Yoga really won me over. His Power Yoga is pretty tough, it took me, I think three weeks of doing it two times a week, to really...

Another thing to do, is break down the four week rotation into weeks. This if you need a change you got lead way, you can move week 4 to week 2, or whatever. I generally use rotations as they really do help you keep a balanced exercise program. Something that generally gives you the best...

RE: How heavy is This is completely an individual thing as well as it depends on how strong you are. Generally you use a weight that you can do 1 or 2 sets of 10 with and wouldn't be able to do a 3rd set with. But each area seems to have it's own rules, with weight lifters; it's heavy if they...

Hi all, As for the 500 calories of mostly sugar, I consider it erasing your hard work as what you just ate, all that fat you just worked off by eating healthy and working out, for three days, has been put back so your back as square 2. And no doesn't apply to only low-carb, this can happen...

Amy G, Another reason to lift heavier is to help build good bone. Your bones are constantly being broken down and built back up. When you lift heavier it allows more calcium absorption to go into the material to build the bones back up. So for example you lift heavy and have good calcium...

Sarah, everyone has said just about everything I wanted to say. But wanted to Chime in, your not a loser, get back up again and keep trying. You'll get faith in yourself when you start seeing yourself be able to workout two or three times a week, and then add on another day. Don't shoot for 6...

I'd just toss some bath towels, or sheets over the windows and workout. I used both when we first moved into our house and didn't have mini blinds or curtains on the windows, and the big glass door in the center of my workout room, and since no fence or anything else to separate my yard from my...

I've been wanting a pair, but my size is yet to be made, but on the to-make list, to be made sometime soon. The bigger size I tried on, felt awesome though, I love the spring in the back of the heels, kind of felt like walking on air, just in clown shoes. I'm crossing my fingers that they'll...

Also if you got a stability ball, you can help stretch that muscle by laying on top of the ball and then taking on hand and reaching toward your knee or ankle. Depending on the size of the ball and the size of you, you may need to use the other hand to steady the ball. Another way, is to do...

Hi Kristine, First off go by how your feel, second how long has it been since you had a rest day? The main reason for rests days is to let your body catch up and heal any of the micro tears in the muscle that it hadn't got to yet. We all cause micro tears in the muscle fibers when we do...

Pinky congrats, even a few lines is better then nothing and that paragraph is awesome, I think they really should have used the whole thing. Kit

I wouldn't be offended but proud, solid usually means good strong muscle. The women's expectation were way off. Why do you need to be super skinny to be an instructor? Why not have some muscle? And it sounds more like the girl was jealous, as you had a lean cut body, that wasn't from starving...

Good fat still is fat and too much your body will store it. I wouldn't cut out the almonds completely as they do have some good nutrition, but I'd weigh them and make sure you really have that many in your salad to start with, if you do, just cut back on them a little bit. You can get non...

Lori, I am so sorry to hear about this about your friend's wife. I'll keep both of them in my thoughts and send good vibes. I deal with eating disorders patients a lot, and it really is hard to get over the illness. Here is a little bit of an outsider’s inside view; I guess you’d call it...
