Kettlebells, kettlebells, kettlebells!!! MMA sounds interesting, but I'm not really sure what that would entail so I only voted for *kettlebells*!

<i>btw...fyi....don't go to dicks.com - it sure ain't sporting goods!!!</i> OMG! I did that this morning...then bought the bar from Sports Authority instead.

I'm only 28 but I have a white t-shirt with puff paint ducks and beach balls on it...from when I was 4. If I cut my arms and boobs off, I could still wear it :)

I started last weekend!!! I love decorating and I reasoned it thusly... I live in Mexico = no thanksgiving = xmas decorating directly after Halloween. DH may have tried to object to this line of reasoning. Not sure, couldn't hear him over "White Christmas". >:-)

Really gorgeous. I would never have thought of the pumpkin color, but I love it! Love the faucet too.

Getting a new fitness toy works for me every time. I have this experience often because we both move and travel often (7th house in 7 years!). Every time my schedule is disrupted, workouts are the first to go. I usually get myself under control by buying a new type of dvd or fitness item (or...

I've never been a runner so I have no form. But was there a specific part of the technique that you think was the problem? I definitely don't want to pick up any bad habits. The only thing that gave me pause while I was doing it was getting my shins parallel to the ground. I don't see how...

I'm so sorry for all of you going through this. It runs in my DH´s family and it can be really devastating, but as Therese mentioned, there are things she can do to take care of herself and slow the progress. We got MIL a Nintendo with Brain Age for Xmas for this very reason :) Also, I've...

My cousin sent me the ones she used (was a CD, actually, but the guy keeps saying "tapes" on the recording :) They are called Chi OF running, but I saw online lots of "chirunning" sites that look like similar to advice.

I never run on treadmills or outside because my knee KILLS me after 10 minutes, no matter how well I warm up. My cousin told me about Chi Running, which is a technique to improve your running form thereby reducing heart rate, improving time and avoiding injury. This may be one of the best...

Sorry I'm a little late on this one, but you shouldn't have a problem getting almost any fitness equipment in France. A high step may be difficult since it's not a common tool. You are close to Lille, which is the 4th(ish) largest city in France. There will be lots of sporting goods stores...

On the bandwagon I couldn't stand the temptation after reading the threads on here. My concern is that I keep reading that it's great to start with a couple of classes or a PT session to learn proper form. I live in Mexico and I'm pretty sure I bought the only kettlebell in the country...

I feel your pain! Big arms already sort of run in my family. I have relatively more fat in my arms than the rest of my body...add in the weight lifting and no sleeves fit me. To make matters worse, I just moved to Mexico where people are very small. I thought this would be great since I'm...
