Lower Back Pain I just wanted to say that I use a stability ball at my computer at work. I also have lower back exercises that I do, too, recommended by my chiropractor. Patti

Amy, I use the 4-sided buffer, too. I think it has really helped making them stronger along with using the Nail Envy. Patti

Nail Biting Hi, I've bit my nails for years and can't afford the cost of acrylics/gel nails to quit biting them. Last fall, when my boyfriend left for work to another state, I finally decided to "do something for myself". So, even as a single mom, working full-time, taking care of the...

Insanity Hi, I just wanted to say that your first paragraph could have been written by me! I feel exactly the SAME way! Gotta love the workouts though! Patti

Insanity Hi Pam, I know exactly what you mean! lol I sweat buckets with his workouts! And the warm-up....as my son says...that's a workout in itself! We are currently on our "Recovery" week. Well, I'm still huffing and puffing with those and I really thought I was in pretty good cardio...

I love to inline skate. We have great paved trails here in West Michigan. I have K2 inline skates. I've had these for years but do periodically rotate the wheels and clean the bearings. I'm selling a pair of Rollerblade (brand), too. I've had good luck with both. Have fun! It's a great...

Lasik Congrats! You'll love it! Just rest those eyes tonight! I was back to working out quickly.....I just found that I needed to wear a Head "sweatband" because I didn't like the sweat getting into my eyes! Patti

Hypothyroidism Hi Clarissa, I've been on Levothyroxine (for hypothyroidism) since age 3........37 years. And it's always given me a high metabolism.............and I have never been fat. Patti

Good Job, Kathryn!!!!

Morton's Neuroma Hi Kirsten, I had a Morton's Neuroma in my right foot for 10 years. I tried many different kinds of shoes, inserts, etc. Nothing helped. I finally got tired of the pain; and since I'm always on my feet, I decided to go for surgery. (It was all covered by insurance) It was...

preorder I'm number 509.....8:15 p.m. Sunday (E.S.T) Patti **Can't wait to get some more cardio workouts!

Morningstar, I don't recall a "specific" surgery. I just have a small thin scar between the 4th & 5th toes. I think I had to be totally off my foot for 1-2 weeks, then I had a walking shoe for a couple of weeks. As Sarah commented, my regret is waiting too long to get it done! I would...

Hi, I had it removed surgically 11 years ago after living in terrible pain for 10 years! It was the best thing I had done! Being an active sports person, line dancer, etc., I was always on my feet. Now....I have no problems at all with that foot! (AFter surgery, I had to be off from it for...

5K The training for the Fifth Third Riverbank Run starts at 20 min. run for 1 min. run/1 min. walk. This short time is just for the very first week; to ease a non-runner like me (who only runs for 8 weeks one time a year) into running. If I went out and just ran 3 miles after not running for...

couch to 5K Hi, I only run 8 weeks each year; soon to be starting March 16 with a 5k race in May. So, yes, it's possible. And somehow...I even placed second in my age group last year! Google: Fifth third River Bank Run (in Grand Rapids, MI). There is a 5K training program that you can...

Morton Neuroma I had a MN removed from my right foot about 12 years ago. I lived with the pain for 10 years prior to it! My surgery was covered under insurance and it's one of the best things I had done for myself. Now I can play team sports, workout, dance, etc. without any pain at all. So...

Lasik Hi, I had Lasik done about 4 years ago and love it! I play a lot of team sports and it's wonderful not to have to wear glasses or contacts anymore. (I never wore goggles; though, for sleeping or anything; never heard of doing that.) Patti

Lower Back I go to a chiropractor once a month (wish I could go more) but he gave me exercises to strengthen my abs/lower back! When I don't do them, I can really tell. There are a few ab exercises that aggrevate my lower back and I limit kickboxing to once a week. When I do kickbox, I...

Hypothyroidism I've had hypothyroidism for 37 years! I've been on Synthroid since then and for the rest of my life! I'm very, very athletic and have a high metabolism. No problems with weight either. Patti
