I joined a gym several months ago and am SO glad I did. I found a ladies-only gym that had a pretty good price and lots of equipment & classes. I was soooo bored with home workouts-- even a new video didn't excite me-- that I was not motivated to work out at all. Now I do spinning (LOVE it!)...

I buy my Lucky's at a store called Buckle, and they do the alterations for free. I love it b/c they hem them so that the original seam is intact... They just kind of fold it up, sew it, and unbelievably, you can't even tell they've been altered! I do think many of their styles of jeans come...

Just a few of points-- Deficit: This is a research topic of mine. Wartime deficits are, and always have been, acceptable. If not for defense and entitlement (and I can't wait to see a Pres elected who has the guts to deal with this issue), our budget would be fine. I have multiple...

Desperate Housewives and Lost are my two newest addictions! Sadly I am making up for lost time as far as TV goes... I never had time to get my fix of brain candy while in grad school. :-)

I found mine at Wal-Mart. It's 5' or less and weighs about 4 lbs. The bar is one of those that came in two pieces... One end slides into the other, then my husband took it outside and basically beat it on the sidewalk. It's been great. It came with the vinyl-coated weights-- way more than I...

i don't want to go off on too much of a tangent here, but it absolutely drives me insane to hear celebrities spouting off about their political opinions... and it bothers me even more that there are people who actually listen to them. just because they are in the public eye (and therefore...

hey, everybody! i was hoping everyone would share their thoughts on clever halloween costumes that aren't a lot of trouble. i feel like i've spent quite a bit of time & money on costumes in the past and am not in the mood to do it again... any ideas? in case it helps, i'm a fairly petite 28...

I was not one of those people who ever thought I'd "just know".... But I did. We dated off and on for several years (as many young men are, he was commitment-phobic), and no one had ever gotten to me like he did. The very first time he broke things off, my best friend was there by my side...

imho, abs = 75% genetics, 20% diet, 5% ab work. x(

I sold most of mine as well, but I hung onto Firm Strength, Vol. 4 (Time Crunch) and Tough Tape 2. All of these still give me a good, enjoyable workout.

Another (former) Energy for Women fan here... x( Now I get Fitness which isn't nearly as good.

I have been in a big rut lately, having absolutely no motivation to work out. I have been a home exerciser and occasional trail runner for about four years but, up until a little over a year ago, also had access to the gym at my apartment complex. I only went about once per week, but it was a...

RE: will i gain weight if i decrease my cardio, increas... I just wanted to jump in here and ask if anyone thinks the answer to this question might depend on body type? I know, I know... women don't "bulk." But I'm sorry, I know for a fact when I focus more on heavy lifting and less on...

I have been putting off buying a new pair of step shoes. I remember someone mentioning these before as the only ones that didn't give her "sleepy feet"-- a problem I tend to have as well. I just hate spending all the $$ on new shoes that feel great when I try them on but not so great after an...

legs & butt. i have the lower body of a gymnast. on the other hand, my upper body is strong but slow to show definition, and my late twenties have added a disgusting layer of fat to my stomach! i have a six-pack, but it's now in the cooler... ;)

Liz, I have the very same problem. A-Jock is right, but here's the problem her advice. If I lost enough bodyfat to get rid of those back love handles, I would *not* be happy with my body elsewhere; I care nothing about losing size in my thighs, butt, boobs, etc. I happen to like my fat stores...

Welcome to the world of Cathe! I am your height and weight and have only had my barbell for a few months. I use anywhere from 20-40 lbs... A lot of folks here love the Troy lite barbell, to which I think there is a link through Cathe's equipment page. However, I found mine at Wal-Mart for...

medicine ball Another piece of equipment that I knew I'd have to buy!!! Which weight does Cathe use in Boot Camp (as that DVD should currently be in transit to my house)? And/or... what weight ball do you guys recommend? Thanks!

Does anyone know approximate shipping costs on these through the Platemate website? Thanks!
