Ran for 45 minutes and off to do Slow and Heavy Back and Biceps. I was tempted to skip my weight work until I read this post! Thanks for keeping me motivated to stay on the November rotation!! Have a great day!:-) :-)

I currently use the old wooden firm box for step ups and hover squats. However, I am tall, 5'9" and have long legs. I think that in order to really work my glutes that I need a higher step. What is the rule, when I put my foot on the step should my thigh be parallel to the floor? I am also...

I sort of remember a post that said that Cathe moved to a 6 inch step height because she wasn't back to 100% after the birth of her second son. She looks fantastic, but she was getting too winded to speak at 8 inches.

Hi Lucinda and Lorri, My incision is in the same place, and yes I completely understand that poof and ledge look. It does get better! My incision is finally fading and is no longer dark purple. The ledge is flat now, and any poofiness is diminishing. Lorri, I am so glad to hear that you...

Hi Lucinda, It has been one year and five months since my hysterectomy. My swollen belly has finally started to go away! My belly was tender for over one year, still a tiny bit tender. It takes a while to go away. Did you have abdominal surgery? I did, if you did remember that they pull open...

Hi educated crowd, I am currently in week 2 of the August Rotation. I am wondering if it would be okay to run first, before weight training on the running days. Would it make any difference? Thanks!

Hi everyone! Our sincere thanks to you all! It looks like Rick will win this weeks wild card! Yahoo!!!!! Now what will happen is over the next three weeks they will have the remaining semi-finals and three more wild cards will be voted. One for each week. At the end of the semi-finals they...

Hi DebbieH, When you pull up that website you click on "vote for wildcard". When the next page pops up you have to click on the red button that says "vote" At that time the six contestants should pop up. It has been a bit confusing. This contest is local and broadcast only in Denver, but...

Thank you to all who can vote! He's moved from third to second! We need him to move to first! Please vote if you can. From the bottom of my heart....thank you!!!! :-) :) ;-) ;)

I'm tall, and find that the old firm fanny lifter works okay, but I'm saving my pennies for the new high step. I think for a tall person a few more inches will produce better results. :-) Good luck!

Hi fellow exercise friends! I hope this is okay to ask of you.... My husband was in a singing competition here in Denver that was on live TV. The judges did not pick him to move forward to the finals. He has a chance to get voted through as a wild card. I'm asking because this is my...

Hi Briee! I'm so sorry that you're hurt, such a bummer, especially when you have the work-out bug. I just wanted to encourage you, I also have suffered with De'Quervains syndrome. Mine was the result of gardening and using my hand trimmers over and over. (I probably got a bit carried away...

Hi Amyfit! Thank you so much for your input. Do you hit each muscle group more than once per week? I also do Pilates, used to go three times per week but am scaling down to once. I also like to fit in a yoga class once per week to really stretch. Thanks so much for your reply!! Have...

Thank you Clare :) , My mileage isn't actually increasing, I'm just taking out the three minute walk time in between running 2 15 minute segments. I have worked up to running this very slowly and must say that most of the time I'm loving it! The other times I dread it, no in between! I...
