    Insanity people

    I'm 51 years young and I too was on the fence about buying this program; however, the ladies on this forum were relentless with their praise, so I finally broke down and bought it. I'm in week four and cannot believe the increase in my aerobic capacity. I'm a little nervous about next month...

    Insanity or P90X???

    I feel your pain! I have both Insanity and P90X, I also have STS and STS Cardio, you can say I'm addicted to preplanned excersice tapes. I have done P90X, STS and STS Cardio and I'm doing Insanity now. Of all of these, P90X took the weight off. In two rotations I took about 20 pounds off...

    The oil spill off the Louisiana coast

    BP has a bad record when it comes to the environment. I don't know if you remember but a couple years back (2006) they were responsible for the pipeline spill. After the US built the Alaska pipeline it was sold to BP. They never made repairs and it coroded to the point it ruptured spilling...

    Anyone sick of chicken and fish- mememememe

    Uhmm, have you forgotten BEANS?! They are high in fiber, protien and low in fat. My favorite are lentils and black beans. You can find tons of great recipes at epicurious.com or myrecipes.com. Two of my favorite are lentil tacos and curried lentils with sweet potatoes. Also try quinea black...

    How do you handle people who ask for money???

    Whenever someone approaches me in the parking lot I know it is a scam. If the person was legit, all they would have to do is walk into the store and ask a manager for help. These people are professional grafters. They can make upwards of 50K a year all tax free. So never give money to...

    Anyone living in Atlanta area?

    Hi Deborah, I live in Marietta, West Cobb. My home sits in the middle of Kennesaw National Battlefield Park. I walk out my door and can walk to a trail head and have 16 miles of paths to play in. Our daughter went to Marietta High School and got a great education because she was in the...

    Best portable player?

    I love this new option! But I do have a couple questions. We travel alot, and would love to take our workouts with us so we don't miss a day. We were looking at an Ipod Touch (32gb), which we know we'll be able to get the downloads, but we wanted an AVout cable option as well without adding too...

    Nutrition Manager

    I have been faithfully working out for over two years and I’m ready to tackle/fine tune my diet, so I just purchased gold member nutrition manager. Initially it came up fine and I could access it. However, as I was loading a new food (Chia) the program kicked me out and now I cannot access the...

    Kettlebells!!

    I would love to see a six week program, that takes the exerciser from the beginner to intermediate level. In the future you could add dvds to take the person to the advanced level. The only system on the market that does this is KettleWorx and it hasn't gotten very good reviews.

    Runners - need opinion on PF

    I know I'm coming to this discussion late; however, I just finished reading a book that addresses this very problem. 'Born to Run A hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World has Never Seen' by Christopher McDougall is a must read for any runner. I'm not a runner, I loath...

    Struggling.

    Have you tried working out with your husband? My husband and I started with P90X, his choice. It turned out to be a blast. We were each others cheerleaders and conscience. When one didn't want to workout the other made sure we got to the "'gym" and pressed play. We are on our last week of...

    P90X Question you probably haven't heard...

    My husband introduced P90X to me. The first time we did it together, neither one of us had worked out regularly for years. The first month, as Tony would say, was ugly! The trick is to modify. When we did Plyo the first time, I think we took a break after ever exercise. But by the end of...

    Obesity costs $147 BILLION in 2008

    Ellie you hit the nail on the head. We are killing our children and here in GA the schools are a huge contributer to the problem. I started subing at my daughters High School after she graduated and was totally shocked. In the morning kids get exposed to what I refer to as the gauntlet. On...

    Nutella

    Nutella is the European peanut butter. My mother is French and hated peanut butter so I grew up with the stuff. Here is a great recipe for cheesecake and it is light! Hazelnuts, hazelnut-chocolate spread, and fat-free cheeses make this dessert lower in saturated fat and higher in...

    plateau breaker suggestion

    I can relate, I fluctuated between 150-155 for over a year. I workout every day. Then my husband suggested a diet he viewed on you-tube (YouTube, Toning and Building muscle How to get ripped muscles in 4 weeks) To get ripped use the chicken, turkey and fish diet. Eat only chicken all day...

    Looking for a solution for a concrete floor

    I have cement floors throughout my house. In the gym I have used the linking child mats; you can get them at any home improvement store. They have been enough for me to prevent Plantar fasciitis. The other thing that helped me was stretching and yoga once a week. If I don't do one long yoga...
