Man I wish I could find one of these used for my home gym. Haven't used them all that often, just because they're hard to find, but each experience was memorable...and sweaty! Be ready for a great workout, and for me, it does require some concentration to avoid stumbling. Have fun!

4 easy (OK, hilly) miles. Maybe do some yoga, I haven't been taking adequate time to stretch. Getting that "shin splint" feeling. Somebody asked about carrying water. I never have, but many do. If I'm going for a longer run (i.e. over 8 miles, which is pretty rare for me these days), or...

Hi! There's a lot of different ways to incorporate speed work into your runs. For example, here's this week's speed workout: 1 mile w/up 14 laps running hard on the straight aways and jog the corners 2 / 200 s hard 200 recovery 1 mile cool down I like this because it's...

I took Keppra for a couple of years, and felt the side effects were too much. I started taking the herb Feverfew, and it helped quite a bit. I still get headaches...but not as often, and not migraines like I used to.

Hey Jen! For me side stitch usually indicates insufficient warm-up. Somedays it takes me 2 minutes to get warm and into it and some days it takes 20. If it happens, slow down, focus on good breathing, and see if it resolves. Because I'm able to continue running through the stitch (some...

I've run many half's and one full marathon...which pretty much helped me to decide that the half is the perfect length for a race. LOL I most definitely did not get the marathon bug. Not running any spring races this year. Kind of focused on muscle development...ran six awesome miles...

Oh, yeah, I always use Bodyglide for longer runs. I always wore a breathable "marathoner" hat no matter what the weather was like. If you haven't bought a good pair of sports sunglasses, it's worth the money. (I had a pair of Nike sunglasses that had lenses you could pop in and out, dark for...

For long training runs we always mapped a course that went by or through parks which had facilities. I pinned packs of Gu to my shorts for energy. I'm told that some long distance runners who don't have the number of parks that we do will hide water bottles in various places along their...

Whew, took a while for me to find this question again and to read your responses. I really, really don't want to go back to starving half-to-death all the time. Funny how quickly your body gets used to being able to actually eat! And I'm able to work out much more consistently with great...

My office is at home, so I have no excuse and no, it's not decorated. I'm self-employed now, but even when I wasn't I never decorated my office. I think it really could make a difference (as far as atmosphere goes), but I've never taken the time or the energy to do it. I don't even have my...

I wish I'd never bought this goofy thing, although I have to admit weighing myself and seeing that I was supposedly at 30% body fat really got me to exercising every single day (during the winter I'm usually a three-times a week-er). I'm a runner who most people would consider to be lean (not...

Thanks, that post is going to be a great resource. No question that I need to add to my Cathe collection. These have been the best exercise DVD's I've ever purchased. I had bought many over the years, and I was always disappointed, but not with these! It's hard to figure out which to get...

Thank you so much. I'm going to sift through this to see what I can figure out. :-)

I have: Imax 2 & Cardio & Weights Imax 3 Step Jump & pump & Step Blast Hardcore Extreme The Terminator I also have various Firm DVD's and a treadmill, a speedbag, a medicine ball, a Step, and a high step. Oh, and a balancing ball. I'm trying to lean up; I'm at a good "weight" for my...
