Hi, I just had to respond to this thread for 2 reasons: 1. I am a RN/Nurse Practitioner and yet I have to agree about the inconvenience that we do tend to put people through sometimes 2. My husband and I just had an experience with a world recognized clinic with very poor customer service...

Hi Everyone, Just love to read these boards and I have posted a few times in the past. My question this time is if anyone has a fitness business? My best friend and I run an Irish dance school and have classes 2 times per week. We are seriously considering renting our own space and doing the...

Just wanted to thank whoever it was(Nia I think) who suggested I check out Jeff Wimmer at studiocycles.com. I did end up buying a star trac spinner pro and absolutely love it. The whole experience was fantastic! Now does anyone have any favorite videos or iPod music for spinning--something...

One of the other nurses here and wanted to give you some encouragement. I felt just like you when I got my first job in nursing and decided it wasn't for me. However, we needed the money so I looked into other options. I sort of "fell" into nurse pracitioner school and ended up getting a masters...

Thank you so much to both of you for responding. I definitely can feel the hormones kicking in. I keep reassuring myself that I have done this so many times already so I should expect these sort of anxious thoughts but it was bothering me. I am going to try and stick with my current healthy...

Hi everyone, I am newly pregnant with our 5th-just found out. This is weird but I have all this anxiety at the moment over weight gain. I had gained about 40+ with my other ones and had taken most of it off after each one. However, after my 4th I took most of it off, got pregnant and...

Thanks everyone for your input. I had just checked out Jeff Whimmer on ebay before I posted and will seriously consider him, especially at that price. Would also like to certify to be a spin instructor since our rec center here doesn't have it. Anyway, thanks so much--I will definitely use all...

Hi there, I am planning on buying a spinning bike from spinning.com and was wondering if anyone has bought from them before? I currently go 1-2 times per week to a class and they have the Spinner Pro bikes. Does anyone have the Spinner Sport? Also, where can I get good spin DVD's or music...

I am 5'2" and weighed 153lbs in March. I have 4 little children(5,3,2,1) and had not really been able to get back into shape after each of them as well as I would have liked. Same story, I worked out but just ate and ate. Recently I got the book "The Abs Diet for Women" and something just...

Thanks Jordan, I am actually looking at the Blast series! I love that the clips are available to preview, it really helps. Thanks again, Shannon

Debbie and Marcy, Thanks for the kind words, it was very sad but thankfully(and I truly mean this) I have a wonderful husband and 4 beautiful little ones that helped me through the miscarriage. Thank you also for the advice. Just watching the previews of the videos is really getting me psyched...

Do you mean the P90X series?? If yes, I have been doing it and can give you more info. Let me know if this is what you were thinking about. Thanks, Shannon

Thanks LD. So you think that Cathe's videos overall weren't challenging enough for you or was it just a particular one? I may just start with the step bundle where you get the step and the three videos. I used to do step ages ago-before I had kids-so I figure that I may need to start a little...

Not sure if I am really a beginner and need some advice Cathe, I would like to buy some videos to start but I am not new to fitness. I strength train 3 days a week and do cardio about every day. This has been for the last 5 months and I am ready to shake things up and am very anxious to buy...

Hi Everyone, I am new here, just found this site and am really interested. Just a quick history. I have 4 little children(5,3,2&1). After a miscarriage in March I decided that I wanted to improve my body and get back in shape. I went from about 153lbs to now 125lbs (I'm 5'2") using p90X and...
