Hi, I need a new cardio challenge. I have all the Imaxes, all the cardio Hardcores, Boot Camp, Step Blast, High Step Training Advanced. I have pretty much mastered all of them (give or take a few moves) and the boredom factor is also kicking in. I want pure cardio that will absolutely wipe...

Bitter Apple is a liquid you can put on things you don't want your dog to chew. It supposedly tastes bad to them but it didn't seem to bother my dog (a lab). I agree that it is probably normal puppy behavior and you can use the training process to let him know it's not acceptable. I also...

I hate when people stand too close to me. Who invited you into my space? --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

I am definitely staying in with Cathe. Here is MA it is also in the high 80's and wicked humid and will be until Friday. Yuck! --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

jes, congrats on your marriage!! 1. i heard on the radio that the humidity will drop significantly on Friday. 2. i got my car back from the body shop. my brother-in-law backed into me. LOL 3. my dog smiled at me. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely...

I tried some on and they just didn't fit me quite right even though they were the correct size. I did end up buying some ASICS cross-trainers to alternate with my Ryka Rhythm IIs. I'm finding out that I really don't like mid-cut shoes and am going back to the lower-cut ones. --Lois "If...

My nephew's birthday is on the 4th so we always go to my sister's house for a bbq and bday party. On the 3rd we usually go to see the town's fireworks. My dog's birthday is the 5th and we ALWAYS celebrate that. LOL --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire...

Everything everyone else has said is true and I'll add the feeling of accomplishment when you can get on your toes and push yourself up, even one time. Two years ago when I started seriously working out, I couldn't do any (like zero) on my toes and not many on my knees. Here I am 2 years later...

I also hope everything is ok. My dh always tells me not to worry about something until there is something to worry about. Do I take his advice....Nah. There is a dominant worrying gene in my family and you can't fight genetics. I hope there's something your vet can do. I have a much loved...

Bootcamp is one of my favorites also.....after I talk myself into doing it. It is kinda scary --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

Consider this a high five from me!! Finishing this workout is a great accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself. I usually high-five my dog in situations like this. She gets very excited when I'm excited. LOL --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely...

OK, I'm even weirder. I'm very right-hand dominant but my right arm fatigues much more quickly than my left. I can usually handle the same weight for each arm, it just takes a lot more effort with the right. ETA: You can wear a one-lb wrist weight on your weaker arm to challenge it more...

I believe what you're telling me but I'm not sure whether this is a result of giving up simple sugars or a coincidence. I have been battling acne for 30+ years and as my doctor likes to say "it's the hormones, stupid!" (although he really doesn't call me stupid). Unless the dietary change...

I've always thought that men were more vain than women. This just confirms it. When my dh was working out, he was always checking himself out in the mirror. unfortunately, those days have been gone for a while. Even with a wife who is a personal trainer, he can't seem to get motivated to get...

Drink more water. Increase upper body resistance. Eat cleaner. Get a job. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

Yay you!! I'm doing the "I'm not worthy" bow as i type. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

That's not too long? I am not a morning exerciser but I am finding that I need a way to center myself before dealing with the day ahead. I just want a dvd that goes through the basic poses, with some breathing stuff. I can take a pass on the spiritual stuff, if included. I'd do stretch max...

I don't have a good ear for these type of things and I was just as happy before I did it as I was after. My 12 pounders which are wrapped in neoprene did have much to say at all. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may...

I wanted to pierce the upper part of my ear. Someone told me that because it was cartiledge up there it would hurt a lot. Has anyone done this and is it true? --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the...

My doctor has always told me that the best source of calcium is from calcium-rich foods, rather than supplements. For me, I'm not conscious enough of my diet to insure I get enough calcium so the supplements are a safety net. By the way, the Flinstones chocolate chewable calcium is much better...
