I have had the same experience when people ask what I do to work out. They are clueless as to what quality home workouts are out there obviously. I also get the "isn't boring just standing in front of your tv, doing the same workouts over and over?" I actually get tired of explaining/defending...

I pulled my left bicep back in April and carefully nursed it back to normal working condition. When I pulled it, I was going up in weight in my bicep curl by 2 lbs. It felt good, not like I was straining, but it obviously got injured. Now, last week, I went up to that weight again, after...

A few more thoughts on this topic. My mind was wandering while doing Tae Bo this morning: - It may not feel like it, but your daughter loves you very much, she is just hurt. You often read or hear about mothers who are drug addicts, prostitutes, etc. who have really dealt their children a...

I feel exactly the way you do for exactly all the same reasons and I would be very upset. It's frustrating, but if you already gave her your advice/suggestions in advance, I think you have to leave it at that. Her mom will have to deal with the situation herself; that's between them and they...

Thanks for all the input, that totally makes sense. I think I'll just go ahead and pre-order everything. All her stuff is great, so what the heck.

Janie: I completely agree with the people who say that she needs to find a way to take responsibility for her life. I was pregnant at 17 and had my daughter at 18 as well. I did the best I could and I made so many mistakes that I couldn't even begin to list them all. She is 26 now and I...

I read the blog on the Butts and Guts workout and that it's 90 minutes long which is amazing. I'm wondering, though, how do you all plan on working that into your current routine or rotations? It seems like something you would use as an add-on to a regular rotation since "butts" doesn't cover...

Oh, the shorts are spandex like the ones that Cathe and the girls wear for their workouts.

What do you ladies wear under stretchy shorts when you workout in a public place? I don't wear thongs anymore because I have a few dimples on my derriere, but I don't want underwear lines from my regular bikinis. I usually wear old crap because I workout at home, but I'm taking a class and am...

Does anyone else find that they buy a ton of fruit at the market and then it's eaten in a couple of days? Or, there are times when there isn't a ton of decent fruit available depending on where you live and the time of year. I'm thinking maybe I should buy some V8 or use some other alternative...

While they are in season, I've taken to throwing blueberries in most of my cereal to get the added benefit. I think it's a good point to make that cereal is ok, as long as it's not replacing the fruits and veges that we need to be eating. I love fruits and veges, but have to make a concerted...

Yes, I agree it's confusing. My hip flexors are always sore after Ab Ripper X also, so when I do it I try to be conscious of my abs and not the struggle in my hip flexors. Normally, my abs are also sore, so I figure I'm just getting a bonus with the flexor portion. I don't do Ab Ripper X that...

Does anyone find that when they are doing a tough cardio DVD or workout, that you pace yourselves? I'm wondering, is it better to finish, say a 1 hour workout pacing yourself, versus 45 minutes of the workout, not finishing the whole thing at an all-out clip?

Excellent! Thanks for all chiming in here; now I know that I'm not a wacko.

I just wanted to say that you have an enviable problem; eating too many vegies. I struggle everyday to get enough in my diet, so way to go.

I am so bored with chicken and tuna and I don't eat beef or pork. I have cereal for dinner at least once per week, but it's always a healthful variety. It's just so quick and makes me nice a full. My husband thinks it's weird. Is this a super bad habit?

Excellent, thanks for your input.

I pulled out Cardio Kicks again for the first time in awhile. That workout has such a high fun factor. I was wondering who the guys are in that workout and how they came about being part of the taping. I haven't seen them again in the other workouts.

I heard that the Lucy.com website has nice quality workout clothing for all body types. I'd like to buy a pair of workout pants with stretch, but not too tight, something flattering if possible. Anybody purchase pants from here and have a feel for sizing, quality, etc.?

I too feel like I've noticed actresses, reality tv people, whatever who seem to eat and don't look like they ate at all. I remember when I was in my 20's and having a pool party, I would barely eat all day so I would look decent in my bikini. Sounds dumb now. All I need to do is a have...
