    Prince is 50!! Can u dig it??

    Actually, that was Sinead O'Conner that remade HIS song. He wrote it, she recorded it. I am not sure if he recorded it after or before her; but he definately wrote it. I don't think he would remake anyone's songs...he is just too orignal. I also like the song "kiss". Hmm.got that on my...

    Prince is 50!! Can u dig it??

    I love, love, love Prince. He is a stellar musician and has really "cleaned" up his music in the last few years, now refusing to swear or talk dirty in his concerts and such. There are even songs he will not do anymore. He just rocks and what longevity. His favorite song of mine is...

    I really need your thoughts and advice...

    I am convinced! You are all great! And I am convinced that I don't need to kill myself. After my back mends (this time!) I wm going to do some intermediate stuff for awhile I think. You all actually have me looking forward to more reps and less time each workout. That actually sounds...

    I really need your thoughts and advice...

    Thanks for your input Wendy. That is funny that your therapist said heavy weights etc...mine has said better light and a lot than heavy and a little. One never knows do they? It is all connected and I too have the same posture issue, rounding at the computer. I am a bit busty (nothing...

    I feel your pain about your middle! Oh I can see those muscles in my abs that I have been working out for 20 yrs. on under that little bit of fat still there! UGH! I am 42; it has been tough! But, when I really, really watch my diet, it gets a lot better. I just need to eat clean all...

    Question about Shoulder tenderness-Can you please help me?

    Hi! I just read through that thread you were mentioning and posted my woes as the last post. Yes....I think you are on your way to an injury; or you have one. Probably not as bad as it could be and I am no dr. Just experience like crazy. BE CAREFUL! Take all of that advice in that...

    Cathe, please advise.....I'm scared to go heavier with weights

    I was just thinking about this very thing... I have had three weeks off from working out. I hurt my rotator cuff and felt I needed a break from working out. I have atrophied a bit and my arms look so much better then when I was working out! I too build upper body mass easily. I love...

    Badly strained rotator cuff...who else?

    That is funny...but too true! I was impervious to any injury until I hit 40. Now I am done for. Even Cathe hurt her knee so yes, we are all human. Never give up!

    Badly strained rotator cuff...who else?

    Oh one more thing. I think I hurt mine doing pikes on the ball! I love those and I did them a lot. I am a stickler for form; but I remember that my shoulder issues began as I increased that type of work and overall straight arm plank work. I love those exercises but I think I over did it.

    Badly strained rotator cuff...who else?

    I did Low Impact Circuit tonight with one arm! I was very careful and modified it when needed. However, I can tell that one has to be extremly careful...I don't think working one side of the upper body is a good idea. I can already feel the imbalance of my back etc. in doing that. So, I am...

    Badly strained rotator cuff...who else?

    Thank you for your insight eveyone. I did go to my PT today and I haven't really lost any strength or flexibility as of yet. But it is painful all day and really bad at night. She said that I can do whatever doesn't hurt it; but I do think, especially after JJ's post, that I will really...

    Badly strained rotator cuff...who else?

    Hi everyone. I am so bummed about my rotator cuff. I have had it strained several times; but years ago from playing volley ball when I was in college. It hasn't bothered me otherwise. Well, for the last 3 months it was nagging and now I can't hardly sleep wiht the pain. I am doctoring for...
