    What my ex-husband said to me this past weekend

    feeling deflated and defeated.....

    Gabrielle: it seems to me you are doing too much. You do weights on Weds, Thurs and Friday, without a day off for those msucles to recover. You do an awful lot of leg work on Monday, when it would be better to shift Legs & Glutes to a different day and call it quits after Step Blast or...

    ? about deadlifts

    I too am very flexible with very strong hamstrings and a greater range of motion than Cathe shows for deadlifts so, yes, I go deeper, as you do, to just above the ankles. I am sure it is OK because in Gym Style Legs Cathe does a form of deadlifts that goes below the level of the step, i.e...

    Would you apologize?

    No, I would not apologize. She is doing more than risk her own survival, she is risking leaving her young children motherless. When she gave birth to them, she accepted her responsibilities towards them, i.e. staying alive. She needed the wake up call, and if she truly appreciates you as a...

    Could use an opinion

    I think Nancy that your way to deal with it is extremely sensitive and discreet. Whether they are nice people or not, there would be nothing reprehensible about your action of kindness and neighbourliness. Go ahead. If it were me, I'd want to know and save myself so much money. Clare
