Kim: Don't know if you use barbell or dumbbells, but that's one more change you might make to see if you can increase the effort on the front leg. For me, dumbbells held at my side throw the weight forward a bit more when I descend. Good Luck. --Ann

Just to let you know, I did all the upper body Timesaver sections last night, including both abs sections and it took about 50-55 minutes and I'm pleasantly sore everywhere today. --Ann

I was thinking of trying Debbie H's idea of doing the Timesaver upper body sections linked together. --Ann

I'd like humanity to be considered a strength rather than a weakness. I'd like to remember "There but for the grace of God go I" every day. I'd like to be single for one day and have a date with Edgar Martinez, who would also be single for one day, but it wouldn't matter because it would be...

DH may have one. We are having a hard time getting a diagnosis because we live in the boonies and it's hard to get an appointment. The ultrasound was negative, but the tech said they come and go and don't always show up on demand, like the funny noise your car will never make when you take it to...

Not having seen the Jennings special past the first couple minutes, and not trusting in general much of what the networks report, I'm shooting in the dark a bit here, but, I would imagine that agribusiness is responsible for both a decline in quality of food (mad cow, etc.)and increase in...

Have a great one! --Ann

My DH was the burping and farting champion of the world. Gas pains, consistent discomfort, you name it. He happened to be at the chiropractor's for a back issue, and the chiro found a hiatal hernia. It's apparently something they treat regularly, and now this problem that's been thought of as...

Ideally we are free-willed people who make our own choices. However, would fast-food, convenience-food, junk-food and other brokers of poor dietary selections spend billions on advertising if the power of suggestion were not so powerful? Subliminal and plain-as-day messages bombard us...

Twelve is a tough age especially with ADHD. Is it possible for you to ask his teachers to remind him to turn in his work? Surely they must collect the work at some specific time during class; couldn't they give your boy an extra nudge? My son was awful about that stuff all through jr. high...

Thanks for the replies, ladies. I'm pretty sure it's not Plantar Fasciitis because it's never worse in the morning (infact it's always better then), it's only in one foot, and the pain is very local right at the back of the heel. I start inserts today. I'm the oddball who doesn't mind waiting...

After a few months of thinking I just had a bad bruise on my heel from hiking on rocky surfaces, I now think it's a bone spur. It's definitely not Plantar Fasciitis because the symptoms just don't match. I'm going to try a heel insert with a hole under the painful area, but if anyone has any...

Cool! Now I'm encouraged! Thanks for your reply! --Ann

I keep meaning to tape some of these and try them out. I enjoy watching, but it's on when I'm getting ready for work and I never quite get it together. I was a little taken aback when I first saw the show because Steve's humor is so incongruous with the standard yoga style of instruction...

How about seated, or one arm at a time? A smaller range of motion might make it easier to work your way into a new weight. The overhead load really taxes the back, so please be careful!--Ann

Hey, everyone: DH is looking into trying the Zone, but at first glance we are alarmed by the amount of meat included in sample menus. We are not vegetarians, but only eat fish or fowl 3-4 times per week. Can we sub tofu or other vegetarian things? Any meatless modification info would be greatly...

Good Luck, Connie. I know you'll do well! I just had my first one-on-one training session with a middle-aged woman who wants to start weight training. I was so nervous, but it went great! Now I know it will get easier form here on for both of us! Please post and tell us all about it. --Ann

Debbie: I sympathize completely! I have missed work all week for the exact same thing. I'll be seeing the chiropractor for the third time in three days today, and I had a massage last night (good health plan). The chiro was able to determine that there is "nerve interference" going on with me...

At least we'd be able to FIND these weapons! --Ann

Hi, Joannafit, I just got a DVD player for the BB series, but I treated myself to a couple CIA sale DVDs to tide me over so I could get used to the format and be ready when the Cathes come. I have enjoyed Mindi's Awesome Strength, and Rob Glick's Amazing Step Styles. Mindi's workout is a...
