Google Forerunners to get an idea of brands and prices. You wear it like a watch and it can tell you your pace, speed, distance and headrests! Very cool and useful for runners indeed. The last one I purchased was around $125.00! Goodluck!

Couldn't agree more Amy! Well said!

It is a streaming video box that you connect to your television and have instant access to many channels including Netflix, Amazon video, Showtime and many, many others. Tons of old TV series, documentaries, sports, health and wellness...comedy, you name it...it is at your finger tips!! I...

...I would get on the yes side!! OMG...we are like kids in a candy store and spoilt for choice! What a nice way to spend a very cold, rainy, laid back Sunday here in CT!! I will let you know if I find any treasures on the fitness/health genre! Our fav discovery so far is "Dexter"...we...

Looking forward to how things go for you next week Carmen...who knows you may have sparked something in the instructor to broaden the horizons and fitness opportunites for all the students...just to throw an option out there, maybe you could bring both the weights and the tube to the next class...

Hi Cathy, Glides certainly make a workout more challenging, huh?? This topic was just on here a few days ago...you can do a search...I believe the title was "Where can I purchase gliding discs" for more info. I personally use furniture movers that I purchase at Walmart...the hardshell...

Well if you think we are egotistical in front of the class you can only imagine what the staff meetings are like...we can hardly fit our heads in the door and once in it's a free for all...."no, it's strength then cardio," "split stance is the only way to go." All those powerful people...

I suppose non forum loving peeps could also debate 18,282 posts being a "major time-suck"....but we like it!!! To each his own I guess!

I think both instructors were a little over the top with their reactions and I can only hope they were on the new side and not used to making modifications for individuals in a group setting. That said (although this did not apply in these two scenarios ) it simply has to be safety first in a...

I initally had the same apprehension...but curiosity got the best of me and on I went. So glad I made the leap as the level of information on there takes conversations to a whole new level...for instance, I follow the American Cancer Society and get regular updates (via links) on new research...

Always looking for new inspirations and ideas!! Do any of you follow anyone that you just can't imagine life without??

Targeting that area can be tricky but achievable! I love the following! Kneeling on a mat in decline (on forearms, shoulders and hips square to mat for entire exercise) place a dumbbell behind the knee. Flex the foot hard and pull the heel close to the tushie to keep the weight in...

Third vote for furniture movers....Walmart in the hardware dept! I use the hard shell ones on fitness mats and carpeting and the thick felt on one side/rubber on the other for wooden fitness floors! Both are very effective!

So sorry to hear about your feet!! That really can put a damper on your fitness activities...but all is not lost...you can still work out hard and sweat a ton. I've been a Spinning Instructor for several years now and have yet to hear one client tell me it caused their feet to hurt...yes to...

Books are movies for the mind...and movies can take you places you can't get to alone. I love giving both as gifts and would love to hear which have shaped your life in some manner. Here are a few of my favorites. The Giving Tree....Shel Silverstein Oh! The Places You'll Go...Dr. Seuss...

Happy to address the following! 1. The cardio warms up the body so that when I lift, I am not risking pulling a muscle and doing damage. A warm up is indeed essential and should be considered a given...but that is not what was questioned by original poster. A warm up is not a cardio...

I get this question from my clients all the time! Weights, weights, weights first if you have to do them together. Why? Done properly weight training will give you the cardiovascular benefits of a cardio session as well as building lean muscle...a win win!! Lean muscle mass means you burn...

I love to do an exercise I refer to as "changing lightbulbs" with a medicine ball!! I hold the ball in the palm of one hand right at the rib cage, elbow at a 90 degree bend, shoulders are down and away from the ears. Slowly start lifting the arm up and rotating the ball overhead with...

Wow!! December is upon us so with only one more page turn on the calendar before the 2011 arrives I think it is time to map out some new fitness goals!:D I'm glad I'm starting a little earlier than ususal this year as I really need to give this some thought...will I run my first full...

LOL @ "does the book explain why she made the commercial for her new show in her undies!" I'm guessing it's Cross Branding Laura as she will soon launch "undie training" for gyms across America...:rolleyes:
