    The Ultimate Fit Test: Pushups

    I was a bit appalled as well, but I have to add that I was appalled that they showed no (now I haven't scrutinized the video, so don't shoot me if there is a woman in there with good form) women with good form. Yet the men they showed had good form. This seems to imply something to me that...

    Is anyone ordering Tracy S. new workouts?

    I will probably order Circuit Zone, maybe the Core one. They look really promising. I got HISM2 in trade and I really like it.

    Some Questions About Sciatica

    Sciatica is the symptom, not the condition. Sciatica can be caused by a multitude of different problems and the prescription for relief is based on the problem. I would recommend you consult with some kind of practitioner (M.D., chiro, massage, acupuncture, PT, etc.) to determine what is...

    STS

    I have really been doing some soul searching on this issue. For me, I just can't get over the equipment issue. For me to lift at 70-90% of my 1 rep max, I would need to get much heavier dumbbells. I have up to 30s, but I know I would need up to 50s or maybe 60s, along with plate mates. This...

    What works best/safely on Low Shag Carpet based on experiences

    Good question. I am anxious to see how folks vote. I have been too cheap to spring for the disks or valslides because I have so few workouts that would use them. I haven't much luck using the paperplates.

    Advice on a Resume

    1 piece of advice. Keep your resume to one page, unless you are God. Sorry, but this is an absolute pet peeve of mine. I frequently hire and I hate slugging through hundreds of resumes - and I am really NOT going to read three pages. Be concise.

    Embarrassing - Crying in frustration!

    The first time I tried to do Step Blast I just sat down on the step and cried. I was soooooo frustrated and I couldn't get it. I couldn't do it physically and I couldn't get the choreo. Just keep at it. The more you do it, even if "imperfectly," the better you will get and pretty soon you...

    Help, I need advice from afternoon/evening exercisers

    I, too, am an evening exerciser. I just cannot get it together in the a.m. to workout. I usually get home from work, let the dear doggie out, and immediately begin my workout. I am usually done by 7 p.m. We then cook dinner etc. I find this works out exceptionally well for me. Sometimes I...

    Getting older/ No kids

    DH and are the same. Childless by choice. Not sure what we will do, but DH does have a large extended family. I want to be able to take care of myself, but in the alternative there is extended family and of course like one other poster said, long term care insurance.

    I'm bored

    Ok all of you bored people! Just how do you manage it? I am working like crazy and I cannot keep up. I feel like I am going to go crazy any minute - and I like to work hard and be busy, so for me, this is just nuts. Why don't you all come over to my office? I will put you to work. Now...

    Hi Lorrayne, glad you made it through the night. It was a tense one! Hope everything continues to go well for you today. Take care!

    To all Catheites and their families in So Cal

    Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts. It is very nerve wracking here. My DH is out of town and that makes it just a little worse. My sister is here, and we, like Lorrayne, are having a "stay up all night party." We seem to be safe for now, but with this wind whipping the embers...

    So sick of this gym saga!

    The writing is on the wall. This will be a difficult business to deal with. They have terrible CS. Go elsewhere!

    Kelly Coffey-Meyer - anybody preorder new ones?

    I haven't pre-ordered, but I am very tempted. I think I just might wait for reviews. I love Kelley, and I can do her faster workouts for cardio, but I do find she goes way too fast with the weights. I have to slow down on those sections a lot. I think a lot of her moves could really hurt...
