I wanted to check my user profile, and think that I found the right page, but it is nearly all beyond the right side of the screen, and there is no horizontal slider at the bottom, as one would expect to find. Some of the other pages have a slider at the bottom, but not this one. The page id...

Deborah, I am AMAZED that runcrazy posted the only reply to your post. I checked out the links that you included and went ballistic. It's a good thing that you weren't here then, because you would have suffered an unforgettable, hour-long, major rant-and-rave, complete with bulging neck...

jillybean, your descriptions remind me of lunges from before, maybe RS? Not sure, it's been a while since doing that one. After staring at SJ, it looks like both moves are an even down-up, first one leg, then the other. Are you with me on the section, the one with the stylistic T-step, and...

jillybean, thanks. At first I didn't understand your description, but with that in mind while previewing step section #3, with its lunge series down the length of the step, it was just as you described it. That should be a good example. Thanks, again. tk

In Step Jam, step section #2, the first part of the combo has a low-impact sequence with a step-up and tap-offs. This is followed by the high-impact sequence with a run-up and lunges. Are there differences between the tap-offs and the lunges? They seem to have the exact same leg and arm...

First, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. That is so serious. It's no wonder you feel bad. From your post, it shows that you are a caring person. I'd bet that you got that from your mother, and that she's as caring as you. Knowing how mom's are, even now, she's probably more worried...

RE: Wonderful 4th of July Story Jillybean, thanks for sharing your wonderful story. It seems that the worst demons can be those carried within. I can't imagine how you were able to summon up the strength to overcome the obstacles. You are an inspiration to us all. Hopefully, the highest...

Hi, susan-lynn. If you search any of the forums for Pilates, it will return a LONG list of threads. I've pretty much just looked at the ones in the Open Forum with Pilates in the subject line, and even that small sample had a lot of references to different Pilates tapes/instructors. I think...

Debra, thanks for the info. I asked about the benefits to know some of the things to be sensitized to, and pay special attention to. It's funny that you mentioned mental benefits. I was going to ask about that too, but it seemed silly. Hamstring, and hip-flexor, strength and flexibility are...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-20-02 AT 06:49PM (Est)[p]Bobbi, I can compare RS and Cardio Hits for you. Regarding Cardio Hits, I haven't been doing StepWorks, since it's not to my taste. Not quite sure why, maybe it's a little too dancy or such. This'll just be something to save for a rainy day...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-20-02 AT 04:31PM (Est)[p]Over on the Open forum, there is a thread entitled "blood sugar and exercise", that might be related to your experience. It's kind of short, but, could give you some food for thought, and, it mentions some related articles. Hope this helps. tk

What is special about a Pilates mat? Is one necessary? Presumably, they provide some padding, but, working out on a carpet seems OK. I think that another thread said that they are "sticky". That would make "rolling like a ball" easier, since sometimes I slide when doing this one, and it...

Thank you for all of your kind inputs and encouragement. I am in awe that you can do this one as just another step. You must be working out at a nice high intensity. Thanks to your inputs, I can see that it's do-able, but, abundant strength and grace are going to take a little while. niclyf...

In Rhythmic-Step, the first step section, there is this pivot-repeater. Does anyone actually do this one? Please tell me that we mere mortals are supposed to just do a regular repeater here. To have such power and control is but a dream. They power up over the step, control the turn, and...

I love it. It's fun. Which is very important. And, I'm a beginner. I started a few months ago with StepWorks and StepFit and enjoy those to. But, there are several caveats: I'm only looking for 20 minutes of aerobics at a time. Since I don't have a television, and thus, no vcr, I need to...
