    Daily eating pattern???

    I'll add mine too I love seeing eating schedules so I will add mine to the bunch. 7:30am: scrambled eggs - 4 egg whites and 1/2 yolk with a little bit of low fat cheese on top. I will eat a piece of fruit or a slice of whole wheat bread with this. 10:30am: protein shake - I buy the Myoplex...

    Anyone out there NOT do new tapes yet?

    Hi Myra Got them all last week and finally did one last week - 10/10/10. I have previewed a couple of them pretty quickly though. I'm in the same boat as you, too busy teaching and making up routines to do my own workout. Cathe's kickboxing tapes look so good. I loved the 10 minutes in the...

    Inducing Labor

    my opinion I was induced with #1 and went naturally (with epideral) for #2. With my first I was 10 days overdue and my cervix was 100% effaced and dialated to a 3 for a while. I was more than glad to get him out at that point but it was not a pleasant experience. In fact, it took a few hours...

    Breast feeding & exercise

    question I started working out when my first was 4 weeks old. I felt great but when I started running at that time I started bleeding all over again. I decided to give myself the full 6 weeks with my second before I resumed my workouts. Is it possible that you just started working out too...

    Helping my son learn to ride a bike

    my son just learned... We tried a few months ago and he couldn't figure it out. We put his training wheels back on and told him to practice riding again, figuring he needed to get comfortable with the feel of the bike again. Then, one day his friend came over and just learned how to ride a...

    Protein shakes and other pregnancy diet questions

    workouts can be tough You really need to just listen to your body and do what you can do. A lot of my workout motivation during my two pregnancies was 1)to help prevent myself from getting too fat - especially with my crappy eating and 2)to prove to myself and others I wouldn't let my...

    Protein shakes and other pregnancy diet questions

    I'd like to know too... I'm not pregnant yet but I've often wondered about designer protein shakes and pregnancy. I hope someone knows the answer to this. As for first trimester foods - you sound just like me during my first pregnancy. What is it with shredded wheat? I only eat it when...

    How many tapes per day should I do?

    sound good to me I had great success with doing each PS Tape one time a week and a challenging cardio tape or run the other three days a week. I think for a lot of people the amount they work out really depends on their current goals and what weight training goals they have. Your plan sounds...

    instructor pay?

    yes, it varies I started teaching this year and I am no where near breaking even. I spent $300 on AFAA group fitness instructor certification ($30 for the manual). Then, I've spent $170 on kickbox, $170 on body pump certications. I'm planning on adding spinning soon - more $$$. Plus, at the...

    A.C.E. Certification...how difficult?

    check with the gym you would like to work at Many gyms require different certifications. I am certified through AFAA for group fitness. At one of the gyms I work at I see a couple of ACE Personal Trainers. The vast majority of the other ones have BS degrees in Exercise and Sports Science and...

    Pre-pregnancy/post pregnancy measurements

    my experience Yes, I have been able to return to the same measurements in the hips and waist that I had before. However, they do look different. My belly button will never be the same and even though my lower abdomen is the same size, it has a little bit more of a pooch than before (lots of...

    Breastfeeding

    My experiences With my first, I dropped the 20 pregnancy pounds and an additional 20 pounds (I was 20 pounds overweight) without hardly even trying. I was so starving all of the time that I would constantly eat ice cream and still loose weight. As time went on and I started slowing down my...

    I'm pregnant with my first

    Boy, it really is hard! I remember quite well how hard it is not thinking about being pregnant when it is your first. Everything would remind me that I was pregnant for some reason. It is a fun time. Good luck and keep us posted!

    I'm pregnant with my first

    Tell mom I don't have any information about when you are safe - I have heard of women who miscarry up to 20 weeks even. My suggestion is - go ahead and tell your mom if you want to. My theory is, if you do miscarry that is a pretty traumatic thing - mainly because you get so excited about...

    Hooked on the pic of the day!

    Time number three already for today... I hope I don't go into the double digits checking here every day. How many times before it really becomes excessive - maybe 20 a day? Seriously, I am so excited about these tapes! My husband bought them for me for mothers day (of course I told him to do...

    barbell I use my barbell all the time for the inner thigh, hamstring work. My barbell is 5 ft and 15 pounds. It gets a little tough but I have always used it. I wouldn't add any weight to it either.

    asthma and pregnancy!

    I agree with Brigid... I have asthma and have had two pregnancies. I am planning on getting pregnant again soon and just discussed my medication with my allergist a couple of weeks ago. He again stated that it is more important to keep the mother's asthma under control and recommended I stay...

    Taking my first spinning class...

    spinning classes Be sure to arrive to class early - like 5 to 10 minutes early. Have the instructor help you set up your bike properly. You can invest in a padded seat cover - like $15-20 can find at a bike shop or at Target. These help. You can also possibly bring a hand towel and fold it...

    I'ts a thigh issue again

    I think you are right Judy... But even at that, I would try doing them each just once a week and see if you need to add the extra day. I got great results with the PS series with each tape only once a week. I still only work my legs once a week, they need the rest from all of the step...
