    Dips.....

    In an older post Cathe had informed someone that doing the dips were a very effective exercise for the tri's. What I want to know is how to make them harder. I am already lifting most of my body weight. I do them w/ my ankles on the floor. I am working them twice a week. Dips, overhead...

    Double Pump

    I'm not understanding what you are saying. I'm glad Kathryn found something on the net. For my level right now I liked it. I just saw the 60 second clip of it on collage. She doesn't show you the lunges she does. You do a reverse lunge, lift that same knee as you come out of it and...

    Thanks for the reply. You were very informative. I think I will start looking at beginner yoga. Just to see if I like it. Any favorite instructors?

    where's the cheapest gas?

    In the past I have posted this site www.gasbuddy.com. You go there, type in your zip code and it will show you the prices of gas in your area and where it is.

    fruit anyone??

    anti aging effects.....yep I need halp there. I don't think I would be getting hit so hard by my body in the age department if I had kept up on taking care of myself. All I can do is work on now and not dwell on the years I can't get back. I did buy blueberries today and me and my daughter had...

    Double Pump

    Have any of you done this workout? I obtained a dvd of it at a yard sale today. It is by Shpresa, who is editor and chief of fit body magazine. Anyways, she does fast moves w/ light weights, step moves on the floor only (no step),pretty cool lunge sets and some ab moves that I have seen in some...

    Yoga

    What exactly is it? I have briefly glanced at covers in the store, but never actually picked them up. To me it looks like really good stretching moves. Do you do yoga to just basically relax? Is it something you do after your workout (cardio,weights)? Also, I am wanting to get one that is...

    fruit anyone??

    I love to eat fruit. It is a lot better than going and grabbing a bag of pop tarts or a handful of oreos. I also have gotten out of the habit of eating because I was bored. I have been buying a lot of different veggies and sauteeing them in smart balance butter. They are sooo good. My SIL...

    fruit anyone??

    belovedHeather- The soda and chips were really hard to cut down in the beginning. I knew from past experience that if I went cold turkey then I wouldn't last too long. I have to go at it gradually. I have gone from half the bag to just a small handful. I notice that when the weather gets warmer...

    Just something funny

    Did you know that all beds are female? 1. They get made. 2. They get rumpled. 3. They get walked away from in the morning. Hope I brightened someones day.:-)

    Something we DON'T know about you (FITNESS)

    fruit anyone??

    I have been really trying to clean up my eating. I went from 2 sandwiches before bed to nothing but water and looking longingly at the fridge while drinking it. LOL :-) I have been going to the produce markets every week and buying a lot of fruits and veggies. I am eating an apple, pear and...

    thanks Kathryn.....

    for your "Just say no to crack" comment in another post. I have been hit or miss on the boards lately due to a family member in the hospital, helping clean 2 other households besides mine and keeping up w/ my kids. Your comment had me laughing. Now, when I am in public and someone decides to...

    magazine subscribers?

    I want to start a subscription. It will be considered a treat to myself.:-) I have no idea of which one to get. I know that there are many fitness/health ones related to men AND women. I want one that is geared toward women. I am not interested in fashion unless it is w/out related. What do you...

    213 schwinn recumbent exercise bike?

    My husband bought it in January. I get on it about 3 times a week for about 45 minutes a time. He was riding it and the display went comletely blank. It was also not reading the speed or calories. The few times I have been on it I have been fine. He rides it most of the time. Thanks for the info...

    How have you been injured

    A couple of years ago I had some dining table glass tip over and catch the back of my left ankle. It caught the skin and ripped it across and down. When they went to "flush " it out w/ water, she told me it was going to really hurt. I didn't feel a thing. The nurse told me I probably did major...

    flaxseed

    I went ahead and bought half a pound. I have already put them in the freezer. Tomorrow I go to the produce market and buy tons of fruit and veggies.:9 They sell a nut grinder there for 8.99. I will just grind them up and start w/ 1 T. in my oatmeal in the morning.

    flaxseed

    Thanks for your replies. I was going to start putting in my a.m. oatmeal also. What is it like if you have it "whole" in food? Any difference?
