I could have written Susan's post regarding Kickbox Extreme. Once I learned the routine, it was a blast and the time flew. Don't expect a fierce, martial arts kind of workout. It's aerobics with kicks and punches to have fun with and work up a sweat. I also have her Hi/lo Extreme. I'm not...

I think they ran the show for 2 hours last night simply because the weigh-in would take forever. Remember, they've added 6 more people, plus they showed the Black Team being weighed in for their "beginning" weight in the desert. What I hate is when they try to over-dramatize and have someone...

Usually, before the final order is put through, there is an option to "expediate shipping by paying in one payment". Of course, your shipping is not done any faster, but it does accomplish the one payment. This is among the many supplement and subscription ads they push you after you're trying...

I'm glad to hear it was good. There are few actors who always churn out a great performance, and Jodie is among those few. The critics loved her, but weren't so kind about the plausibility of the script. I'll put this back on my list of movies to see. But on a side note - and I do love...

I workout in the morning. That way, I can shower afterwards, and get ready for my day ahead. For those of you who workout in the afternoon, I presume you shower after your workout. Does that mean you shower twice a day? Or are you one of the lucky ones who can get up in the morning and...

Macgyver, Richard Dean Anderson. I think he was in one of the ABC soap operas I watched too - way back when... But I think the attraction to the Macgyver character was so much due in part to his resourcefulness. Diane

I wanted to name our black kittie, Kona. But my kids vetoed that idea and he's been named Shadow. Kona is a neat little town on the big island of Hawaii, also well-known for it's coffee. You can have the name for your dog, if you like. How great of you to give the girl a loving home! I've...

Can't answer your question, but have one of my own. I always "Mark" the forum once I've read it, so when I go back, the threads with new posts are highlighted. But is there a way to see what posts within the thread are new without re-reading until there's something you don't recognize? Diane

If I want a cookie, I'll eat a cookie. But I place rules on myself that I have to only take one cookie at a time, seal the bag, place it back in the cabinet, and I can't take a bite of the cookie until I sit down. This all takes time and thought and slows me down. Diane

This thread on VF: http://69.93.245.62/forum/showthread.php?t=107406&highlight=amplify has a nice review at the bottom. Plus there's a link to a much longer thread when it was first available. Diane

I could probably squat more weight than I do, but I can't lift the barbell over my head if it's loaded beyond 40 pounds. I could get by with just: 2-10# 2-5# 4-2.5# (in reality, my 10# are actually 8#, because my bar weighs 4#) You could start with those poundages and buy more if you...

Renting a drywall lift is an absolute "must" for hanging drywalls on ceilings! Diane

If you are on Match.com, if you hit the reply to say "No thanks", it gives 3 options which are stated very politely. They are: 1. Thanks for writing to me, but I've just met someone and want to see how it develops. 2. Thanks for writing to me, but I've decided to take a break from dating...

I have CTX Upper Body on VHS that a friend transferred to DVD. I did the workout this morning and realized it's truly my most-used workout of ANY I have. Since the VHS is no longer available, if my DVD should die, I would have no hesitation plunking down $90 to replace it. Diane

For step cardio workouts, the step only needs to be 6" or 8". The step works well as a bench at the 10" height for chest presses/flies, pullovers, and the like. In the High Step workouts, you need a step at about a 14" height. But instead of getting more risers, I would suggest just buying...
