    Suggestion for Mp3 workout for treadmills

    On the lower right side of the screen, there is a red arrow by "additional workouts." If you click on this it will open a screen showing all the workouts. You can read pretty detailed descriptions and listen to samples. I used 2 free codes a while back to download workouts, AH2007 & CW 2007...

    Help me shake up my routine

    Are walking on hills an option for you? On a flat surface, I can't get my heart rate up by walking, but we live down a pretty long, steep hill and I get a great workout just by walking up and down it for about 45 min. I don't do this often it's a great change if it's nice outside. Melissa

    How often do you wash your comforter?

    DS has seasonal allergies, and all the stuff I have read on dust mites is so gross that I wash my comforter every couple of weeks. When I replace it, I just make sure that the new one isn't too fluffy or it won't fit in my washer. For the pillows, I get the dust mite proof pillow cases from...

    fatigue/ weight gain around period time?

    I'm in the same boat. For about a week before my period I'm ravenous and want lots of carbs. I try to make them more clean carbs (oatmeal, a pb&j sandwich on whole wheat). I eat more during this week and always think I'm gaining weight, but I think I'm just retaining water since this goes...

    Heart Rate Question for Runners

    Thanks for the advice! I think you are all right and I need to forget the HRM for awhile. Using it is counterproductive for my current goals. It makes total sense that if I am in a different climate (outside & humid vs inside w/AC) and trying to push my body to run faster or farther, my HR...

    Heart Rate Question for Runners

    How long does it take to condition the heart for running? I started a running program 3 months ago, already in pretty good shape from the stairmaster and Cathe. Since it's so hot here, I run mostly on the treadmill 3-4 times each week, usually 2 mi twice and 4 mi once a week. If I keep the...

    HELP! Need financial advice.

    I know several people who have used Dave Ramsey's plan to get out of debt. I know he has a radio show, but I think he also has a website. He advocates getting totally debt free (no car payment or anything). Melissa

    Just curious...does anyone out there take music lessons...

    Hi everyone! My niece (she's 8) has started taking guitar lessons, so I've been trying to convince DS (he's 6) to take them. He's showing no interest, and the other day I told him that I had always wanted to learn to play and I wish I had learned as a kid. Which got me thinking...music...

    Is seeing an aesthetician a waste of money?

    Have any of you seen an aesthitician for skin problems? I am 33 yrs old and have had problems with acne (cystic) on and off since I was 18. I've done it all...2 rounds of accutane, pro active, antibiotics, etc. Currently, I am using Retin-A and Duac gel and have gotten pretty good results...
