    Strong Mommas -- Mar 26

    Went for a walk on Saturday and then again today. What a difference two days makes! This baby is throwing me off balance on some uphills and really sitting on my bladder all of a sudden. Yoga this morning was also a new experience as I now have something in the way of bending. I am really...

    Choice of DVD advice please!!

    While I do not disagree with the above posts, I highly recommend looking at Cathe's beginner rotation. She recommends just a few DVDs that do not use an extreme variety of equipment. If you have never done step workouts before, this is a good intro to how she does choreography. There is also an...

    Eating More After Giving Blood

    I try to increase my iron intake after giving blood as well as fluids, although not calories. You will need the iron to make more blood platelets. And fluid to create more plasma.

    indoor cat has fleas and losing fur

    We had a major flea problem with our cats a couple of years ago. So what Kathryn said, plus: fleas take about 6 weeks to hatch, and about 3 days to mature from hatched to egg laying.

    Pilates video for pelvic floor?

    Check out prenatal and postnatal yoga videos. They are easy on recovering bodies, and very much focus on your pelvic floor. I really enjoyed Postnatal Yoga by Shiva Rea right after my son was born. It is very gentle. HTH,
