    cellulite and toning

    Laura, I feel your pain - it's my life story. I'm gonna try the freestyle workouts soon to see if that helps. I figure most people are fit at all and I should be down right proud that I am so fit and that I care about my body's health. No huge insight here, just know you're not alone!

    how heavy is the troy barbell bar?

    I'm using this set at the gym and don't know what the weight is of the bar - so I can correctly track what I'm lifting. It feels like 2 1/2 lbs to me, anyone know? I can't seem to find the weight amount on their web page.

    braxton hicks, preterm contractions and exercise

    Briee - preterm labor has nothing to do w/how many BH's you have. The definition is going into actual labor any time before 37 wks. The definition of labor is effective contractions that make you dialate. 24 hrs off the terb my contractions became quite painful and as I expected I was...

    braxton hicks, preterm contractions and exercise

    My cervix did not change at all. I was monitored very closely with vaginal and abdominal u/s every week. The abdominal u/s was due to the fact they wanted to watch the fluids as one of the meds I was on to repress the contractions can affect the fluid. Once I got off the meds my cervix...

    Freestyle rotations

    RE: Freestyle rotations - Timesaver??? I like the idea of freestyle but as a mom of two there is NO way I can commit that amount of time to working out. Is there a variation to this but more shortened that one could do? And if you stop this type of workout, do you then lose definition or can...
