    MP3 Issues.......

    Janice: I have an old MP3 player by Intel. I use MusicMatch at home to manage my music. Mostly, I've copied all my CD's to my hard drive through MusicMatch, and have bought a few songs from MusicMatch. I can't download any of the songs that I bought through MusicMatch onto my Intel MP3...

    Feeling bad after workout

    Are you sweating a lot? When I started spinning, I felt like I had a hangover for the rest of the day. It would also happen if I went roller blading on a hot, humid day, despite drinking quite a bit of water during the activity. The only thing that works for me? Gatorade. I have one during...

    O/T Verizon DSL Users

    I've had Verizon DSL for over two years now. My computer is on 24/7 and I have never had any problems. If you work in an office where you are "on-line" all the time and can surf through your browser, it's just like that. I run my email through Outlook Express and it's set up just like the...

    Downloading music from the internet

    Just to clarify my earlier post: Yes, I was referring to replacing the battery on the iPod, which has nothing to do with iTunes. I could not download music from iTunes and then copy it on to a Dell or Intel mp3 player. You can only download iTunes to an iPod mp3 player. I could download...

    Downloading music from the internet

    Hi Nancy! You can only use iTunes downloaded music on an iPod (and probably through your computer). I use MusicMatch also, and have downloaded tunes from them; however, it's not compatible with my very old Intel mp3 player. I plan to buy a Dell mp3 player, as that is what MusicMatch is...

    Do you make and keep New Years Resolutions?

    I always resolve to take a class and learn something new. Last year it was a refresher sewing class. This year, I think it'll be bread making and/or wine tasting.

    Kathryn- Vegan info please...

    Two fun favorites are: How it All Vegan and The Garden of Vegan cookbooks by Sarah Kramer, Tanya Barnard. Available at Amazon.com. Really easy and delicious recipes. I think they are very good to get started.

    Curious about home workout clothes

    My home IS my gym. I have to wear workout clothes that make me feel like I'm at the gym, otherwise, it's too easy blow it off. When I get home from work, I change into my "gym" clothes (nothing too expensive, but stylish, fitted workout clothes like boot cut pants and a long bra top). I only...

    Clothing sizes

    I'm 5'3", 118 lbs. and have everything in my closet from a 0 to an 8. I don't care what the tag says. If it fits and is flattering, I wouldn't care that it was a size 14! And as for the Gap: I just tried on a size "6A" (for ankle length). Not sure whose ankles they are talking about, but...

    Anyone watched The L Word???

    Wayne: Here in America it's on Showtime, a premium cable station (you have to pay extra for it). Same kind of thing for Sex & the City, which was on HBO. They are now playing Sex & the City on basic cable, but they had to tone down the sex a little ;-)

    For those of you that do spinning

    I had baskets on my spin bike for over a year and just changed to clips. I think Trevor is right that if I had concentrated hard enough with the baskets, I could have worked the push/pull thing a little more; however, now it's just automatic and I have to say I love them. I ride outside, too...

    P90X Question...Please Help

    I have a bad knee too... ACL repair 14 years ago and am having surgery in October for cartilege issues. I have had no problems at all with any of the workouts in P90X. Tony Horton mentions having a bad leg in one of the workouts, and encourages you to modify. One of the background exercisers...

    Have you ever gotten cellulitis (NOT cellulite!)?

    I got stung by two wasps last weekend (knee and knuckle). I took my ring off immediately and iced the areas. No swelling, no nothing all day long. I put the ring back on (you see where this is going?) only to wake up at 3:00 a.m. because my knee and my hand were swollen and itching horribly...

    Switching jobs without experience - possible?

    I was a paralegal for 13 years, then switched to publishing (no experience) and have lived happily ever after for the past 11 years! At first, I had to take a step down on the pay scale to get in the door, but eventually worked my way WAY up. You can do it! (and I was in my mid-30's when I...

    cathe- premixes

    Well, I love the Workout Blender, but understand if you need to eliminate it. I use the premixes probably more than the as-produced version. And I am guilty of not voicing my love for the past few series. I have a couple of freezes here and there, but never would have complained in a million...

    personal training

    What I got out of my personal training sessions was this: I was capable of working out a lot harder than I ever thought possible. I took that to my home workouts and that's when I started to see real progress. Worth every penny I spent.

    Gearing up for p90x...can you help?

    Kathryn: You can make plow neck-friendly by doing the following: take a thick blanket (I use one of those like they use in live yoga classes to cover you during corpse pose... I'm sure there's a name for them, but I don't know what it is, but any thick blanket will do) and fold it to about...

    Gearing up for p90x...can you help?

    I bought two sets (4 squares each) of the puzzle mats and am going back for another set of four. Every time I do the P90X Legs & Back workout, I feel like I need a little bit more room when they're doing those angled lunges... I'm thinking 4 across by 3 deep will be perfect. And yes, I put...
