After a severe left ankle sprain and a broken 4th metatarsal, I lost the ability to jump on the left leg. I cannot do the power-up jumps while stepping or jump on one foot. I can jump with two feet but I do not know how to start jumping even a little bit on the left side. Any ideas?

I enjoy cardio workouts that use light dumbells to increase expenditure. However, I am wondering if those light weights interfere with muscle recovery. Is it OK to use cardio weights after a heavy strength day?

the ncsf's newsletter had the following research summary: Long-Term Antioxidant Supplementation and Health-Related Quality of Life New research implemented by a group of French universities and published in the journal Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation examined the potential effects of...

This year I applied for three part-time office jobs and I just got the news that I am hired for one of them! It pays $ 10 an hour, 19 hours a week with totally flexible working hours. I cannot believe that I found a job that will not interfere with my life! There is hope out there for SAHMs...

I am reading the book "Resistance Training Instruction" by Everett Aaberg and he made an interesting point on Muscle Hypertrophy on page 49: "First realize that hypertrophy of muscle is a reactive and protective adaptation of the body; it is a response to repetitive joint and muscle stress...

This forum used to have members that were using "alternative" skin care products such as olive oil, coconut oil, etc. Is anyone over 40 still staying away from products that require one to call the poison control center if ingested? This statement alone should be reason enough to use only...

this weekend! We started Friday with how to hold the yarn, making long chains and the single crochet. She must have liked it because she kept on practicing and not giving up. On Saturday morning she showed me that she made a square with single crochet without skipping stitches. We then went...

The thread from the other day inspired me to buy a blender and make my own, I guess, smoothies. So far I tried two, one with spinach and one just with fruit. I just put a banana, an apple, 1 cup of frozen strawberries and 2 kiwis in a blender (or omit the kiwis and add two handful of...

Depending on the sources, this particular plastic is leaking/or not leaking chemicals into the water/food. San Francisco banned this plastic altogether. I live in Alabama and it is EVERYWHERE, especially in the form of nice reuseable bottles (careful with sippy cups and baby bottles) or 5...

I have been taking health education classes in college and regarding wine/alcoholic drinks the textbooks always seem to say the following: For women up to six drinks a week is beneficial for cardiovascular health. HOWEVER, more than three drinks a week increases the risk of breast cancer...

My husband always tells the doctor he is a light, every now and then, drinker. In reality, he drinks an average of 6 beers (ice), 6 days a week plus 32 oz of table wine, 4 days a week. He does not appear drunk and must have built tolerance over the years. I ask him how his bloodwork went and...

Is there a website that points out the damage to the body (besides weight gain)if someone drinks regulary (daily) for years? I am talking about averages of 4 cases of light beer and 2 cartons (10 liters) of wine a month.

I swear, I haven't done PowerMax in over two years. I pulled it out yesterday because my rotation currently is asking for Pure Cardio workout days. It was so much fun!!!! All those hops, jumps, even the 'party arms' left me smiling all day. It's a 'feel good' workout.:7

things that bug me about DH. 1. He doesn't admit that I am three inches taller than him. He always tells co-workers "we are the same size" even if I stand right next to him. He says I am just highering the seat on my spin bike to bother him, same goes for my fitball - I bought it larger just...

always kick my butt. Doing P90X and even Gymstyle Chest gave me the impression that I am finally good at push-ups but then I did Timesaver #1 today and those push ups were still tough! I added the 33 min pre-mix (B 1 + B2) from Supersets at the end and I got a nice just over an hour total...

Like many of you the memory of LL has me dreading doing it. When it first came out I thought it was very tough but I must have changed to the stronger. I did it today and it was very doable - granted I lowered my weight and used what Cathe was using (I used to use a 40 lbs bar, 15 & 12 lbs...
