I am always reading from those who are lucky enough to be able to work out with you live, how GREAT your kickboxing classes are. Well, I am a l envious and wondering if you will be making a video for those of us UNlucky enough to be mileage challenged? I have gotten to where I don't buy other...

Amen to saving your sanity! This is me and exercise post partum. It is the only thing that keeps me sane during that stressful, hormone filled span! There has to be some sense of self left in there!

I am CRACKING up! Have been thinking that there is NO WAY you will catch me at the pool this season! This will be my first time to go through being BIG and pregnant during bathing suit season.My other children are born in the last quarter of the year. Wouldn't you know I finally found 2 suits...

pilates Have only been doing pilates abs for about the last 3 months. They are great! no way to miss the muscle you are working. All the ladies in my class say they feel like they are really targeting the intended muscle group as opposed to reg crunches. I think this is prob because many of us...

This clears things up! Thanks so much for replying! I have found that I get in a "comfort zone" because I have been through this b4. However, I know it has been different with each and there are always new things out there. It is nice to keep on top of things. I will be sure to try your...

Domestic Engineer I "bagged" it years ago after my 2nd child who is now 8. I pickup occasional part-time work for the extras as needed.I substitute teach, have been known to do a paper route, and even teach aerobics! I am about 12 weeks-- just coming out of the yucky stage and back to working...

Okay I know this is probably the most common area preg women ask about, but I still have to ask. I know the ab suggestion for all fours ( and will be using it soon) ,but wondered if it is OK to do abs in a seated position. The exercise has you lean back and hold on with your abs ( only as far...

Me too! My grandparents were Irish immigrants from County Cork, Meade, Ireland. Guess it was inevitable one of us would be named Colleen!Never can find my name on key chains, but it is kind of nice to be different sometimes.

Would you mind sharing,Susan? Just horning in, but I am always on the lookout for new abs. After 5 preg it is tough to keep those boogers in shape. Personally, I think some of the less than flat feeling is extra skin from being stretched, flattened and restretched.Anyway, would appreciate a new...

ligament loosening This really made sense to me with multiple preg causing ligaments to loosen sooner. I found in my 5th preg that I had to modify much sooner. I actually pulled my broad ligament with the combination of a terrible cough (can you believe it!) and possibly exercise. I felt great...

I am so confused!! This threw me because my name is Colleen also. I am thinking when did I ask this? Hello!! That's what comes from relating to a 4 yr old and 2 yr old all day long. No more brain waves! Wouldn't be Irish by chance?

shoes <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON Jan-30-00 AT 03:17PM (EST)</font></center> I know everyone will have a different favorite for this one! I actually prefer to wear cross trainers as opposed to aerobic shoes. I find they have all the cushion and support I need for...

This is going to sound dumb but.... I can remember back several years ago (I don't want to mention how many!) when I first starting stepping and I had a new pair of shoes my feet would start tingling about the middle of the workout and then it would come and go. Next to all the other advice...

I use the same trick! I do the exact same thing to try to motivate myself to exercise that day. I find just getting those workout clothes on my body puts me in the "mode". I also find I feel better if I can make myself exercise even on the days that I am feel a little queasy.Does anyone else...

Thanks! Thanks for allowing me a little invasion of your privacy. Do you find working out helps you cope with the stress of motherhood? I started being more serious about it when I had my second child. She was colicky and NEVER slept or quit crying for about 7 months. My husband could see I...

WOW! Jeans 3 days after delivery tight or not is amazing! I remember my first 2 pregnancies thinking I was so thin after delivery ( i guess you are compared to what you looked like hours ago). I would go home and try on some of my bigger jeans a few days later and there was this big 4 or 5 inch...

I love this!! Just had to put in my 2 cents. This reminds me of the ladies I work out with , but in a much milder sense.I have been through pregnancy and postpartum with this group of ladies and felt the pressure of putting myself back into pre-preg shape. Something about standing up in front...

getting there....Cathe do you have time for a question? I know you don't even have time to go to the bathroom, and a shower feels like the biggest luxury of the day,but I'll ask anyway and won't take it personally if you don't get to it. I am still looking for a more concrete answer on the...

Maybe I should have been nosy here Thought you might be more likely to see this here than in Jon's post above. If you don't see the nosy post there is one in Jon's wonderful accounting of the birth experience. I just wanted to ask a fellow exerciser with a large family some questions.

Above for Mandy I couldn't figure out how to edit the subject so I just wanted you to know this was a question or two for Mandy or anyone else who felt like horning in!
