    Okay Enablers...

    I bought 2 kettlebells yesterday, 15- & 20-pounds, along with 2 DVDs, Iron Core Kettle Bell Vols. 1 & 2. I tried them out last night & did my first full workout this morning using the 15-pounder & I loved it! Now I'm wondering what other workouts or books I should get? What do all you...

    A personal question (maybe)

    Hi all. I have a tubal scheduled for February 27th & I'm a bit nervous. Of course, I had a long meeting with my doc y-day & I feel like I'm well informed but I guess I'm just looking for some helpful advice & hopefully some positive input. Has anyone here had that type of surgery or know...

    Another dog question/problem...

    Last time I posted about our cute & furry little fella, Skippy, it was because he was jumping up on us & we couldn't seem to break him of that habit. Well, thanks to the advice I got here (turn sharply & quickly, say "OFF" instead of "down", & also ignore him until he calms down), he's doing...

    4 Day Split Question

    I have a question for those of you who have previewed or done the new workouts already. Do ALL of the workouts utilize a resistance band? I'll have my new DVDs tomorrow & was hoping to do them next week but I don't have a resistance band yet. I placed an order with FWonline last week but I...

    Trying to Fit Yoga In - 10/18

    Good morning! I'm not sure where Lora is so I guess I'll get this started today. Last night, I did Yoga Journal's Yoga for Stress Relief Stress Prevention practice, followed by meditation on my own. Nice & relaxing! Well... all except for Skippy thinking I was going to play with him since...

    Resistance Bands

    I still don't have any resistance bands but I need to get some before I receive the new Cathe workouts. Plus, I also plan to place an order for some others that utilize a band. So here's my question: I found a pack of 3 bands at TJ Maxx y-day but they were 5 feet long instead of 6 feet (they...

    PUB/PLB Pyramid System Question

    I usually do each of these workouts in their entirety but I noticed that they contain premixes that might fit nicely into my schedule if I want to add some cardio every now & then or simply don't have time for the full workout. Here's my question. Is one (up-only or down-only) more beneficial...

    Dog Behavior Advice (long)

    As some of you may know, my DH & I rescued a doggie from a no kill shelter/foster home about 7 months ago. He was about 1-1/2 years old at the time & he had been a shelter dog for his whole life so it took awhile for him to become comfortable & finally figure out that he's our dog, he's got a...

    Trying to Fit Yoga In - Friday 9/21

    Hi everyone! I guess Lora didn't have time to start the thread this morning so I'll try to get us started. This morning, I started my workout with the BC Cardio Premix, stopping at the stretch, & then I did The Firm Time Crunch Workout, adding a few reps here & there (not enough biceps & other...

    Trying to fit Yoga in - Tuesday 9/11

    I guess Lora didn't have time to start this so I guess I'll take a stab at it. Better late than never, eh? This morning, I did Imax 2 & had a ball! I love that workout... especially the last step & blast with the Pina Colada song. Then, the tropical song as the cool down begins. Aaah...

    "Perfect Push-Up"

    I don't know if anyone has already posted a question about these & apologize if I missed it but I'm just curious if anyone has tried these or would recommend them? I have trouble doing push-ups on the floor due to wrist issues & find that it's easier if I use dumbbells & elevate my hands off...

    Pre-Order Add-On

    Okay, so I'm FINALLY going to pre-order either late this week or early next week & I'm really excited! But I think it would be wise to add-on to my order since shipping is still free. I will need to buy some bands to use with the new series since I don't have one already. With that said, I...

    Wheat Germ

    I just bought a vacuum sealed jar of Wheat Germ & I've never bought one before. I used some in my cereal yesterday but unfortunately, I didn't notice that the jar needed to be refrigerated after opening. This morning, I got it back out to use in my yogurt & had already put it in & started...

    Cardio Coach

    My DH & I have a nice treadmill but I rarely use it because I find it boring. I usually only use it when I'm getting back into exercise after being sick or injured. But several people here have suggested that I get a Cardio Coach & simply rave about using them. So here are my questions...

    You guys are the greatest!

    I haven't been around in awhile but I'm back after a long hiatus. I have missed being here but I have just been overcome with life lately & found it very difficult to keep up with everything. Anyway, I just wanted to say what a joy it is to come back here & see that everyone is still here &...

    New doggie & crate question - VERY long

    Hi all. I need some help. My DH & I adopted a doggie last Friday. His name is Skippy & his picture is my avatar. He's truly a precious little guy, very sweet, smart, & eager to please, & we already love him. He's about 1 1/2 years old & already house & crate trained. So far, we haven't had...

    Hedonists??? Tuesday 1/30

    Hi girls! We seem to be lapsing lately but I thought I'd go ahead & get it started anyway. So are we all too busy being healthy & fit to be hedonistic too? :P:7 I'm sure there's just not much to report right now, at least that's how it's been with me lately. Gosh, it's cold here & that's...

    Healthy Hedonists 1/25

    Hi to all of you healthy, pleasure-seeking ladies! I saw the thread yesterday but was unable to post. Like Leslie, I've been super busy & haven't had the time. I was also wondering the same thing as Robin... After we all stated how much better we intended to be with clean meals & less...

    Hedonistic & Healthy on 1/18

    Looks like I'm the first one here today so I'll get started. This morning, I did Cardio Fusion 41 1/2 minute premix. Ever since I got it, I've been addicted to that workout & do it every week. I'm supposed to attend yoga class with a friend tonight but I don't want to go out so I invited her...
