    Wiggles Workout

    My two year old has several Wiggles DVDs and we will often follow their dances together to one or two songs. Yesterday we had a rainy day and getting outside to play was proving to be a bit difficult. I thought it would be fun for us to dance together to the whole DVD and wow - what a workout...

    Any ideas for reducing hunger

    I am struggling to lose about 10lbs that I have gained over the last 6 months or so. I am 42 years old and had my third child two years ago. I breastfed him for about 16 months and returned to my pre-pregnancy weight quite quickly. Over the last few months though, I have found my hunger...

    Are these steps the same?

    I notice that the step Cathe uses is described as "The Original Health Club Step". Is this step the same as "The Original Step"? They both look the same but I'm not sure if the subtle difference in name means they are different. I would be glad if anyone can clear this up for me. Thanks, Meg

    How do you deal with a "know it all"?

    My SO has always had a healthy regard for his own opinion, however, recently he has become a real "know it all". He will never admit to being wrong even when it is clear (later on) that he was - he will even claim that that is what he said all along! Nobody can tell him anything - he...
