    Help: smoky treadmill

    I agree with the cider vinegar/water solution. I would also make sure that after using that mix (on the belt) that you wipe it down with water/soap or water. I'm not inclined to think that leaving vinegar on belt would be so good for it. Good luck. I have a treadmill and I love it. I would...

    Vitamixer

    Oho! This is a timely topic for me. I am wanting to buy a mixer/blender/boinger(ha) and have discovered that reviews for them are like reviews for washing machines. Ie, it is hard to find a good one. Me and mine primarily want something that will handle frequent smoothie making. I did read about...

    My (very) brief Insanity review

    Thank you for the pm, Shelley! Also, I have the same aversion to Imax 3 that Robin does. I also thought these workouts might be similar to that for some reason. I am glad to hear your thoughts regarding the comparison. I am all for "freaking HARD drills"! Choreography, however, tends to...

    skinny arms

    I second the plug for STS. There is definitely something about Meso 2 that just ...works. Also, I do tend to use heavier weights than the average showing in the workout manager. My arms are defined but not bulky. The best thing ever for getting the three heads of my shoulder defined has been...

    My (very) brief Insanity review

    Perfect review, Shelley! I haven't been swearing during my workouts (unless I do some sort of self inflicted clutzy move). And that is one of my benchmarks of a must have workout. All the glowing reviews of insanity and it's yours that is going to get me to buy it. Thanks.....I think! Shelley...

    Weight gain in the thirties

    I agree with clothesminded....I haven't gained a lot of weight but I can gain more easily now. I have discovered that diet plays a much bigger part in the equation than it did when I was in my 20's. I can't just nip a couple of pounds off like I used to. I do like that it makes me more aware of...

    A word of advice

    The one to me from me (as in I should have followed it earlier today, ahem:o) "When train wreck is imminent, keep self OFF tracks" The one I've seen pinned to a bulletin board: "Never argue with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.":eek:

    Got my TIMESAVER DVD

    Well said! I apologize to the masses as well. Sure do wish I could just extract all the hot pics from this thread.

    Got my TIMESAVER DVD

    Longtime member here who neglected to resurrect my old username. I stopped reading Lauras posts after one of her meltdowns years ago. She has shown herself (on more than one occasion) to be someone that spits an excessive amount of venom at others who are unwilling to kiss her arse. I am sorry...

    how to keep old cat off furniture

    When I first read this post a couple of hours ago I was going to type the same darn thing! To the OP: It doesn't matter who was there first. Please don't punish the kitty for your rules about furniture. There have been peaceful solutions offered by others in this thread. It may take some...

    You All Time Favorite Kickbox DVD?

    Powerstrike breakdown . . . I have all of the Powerstrike workouts. My favorite is #2 but I think #1 is the most intense. #3 is the easiest and least interesting to me. #4 is a decent workout. I think #5 is more intense than #4 but a shorter workout. I have #1 and #2 on VHS. Years ago my...

    Is your dog a killer, too?

    When you ask for opinions you get them. I don't see anything but advice from others in response to your first post. No need to get defensive. Compared to other threads this has been downright civil so far. Could you please just consider 2 things? You describe yourself as a new dog owner so maybe...

    True Blood

    I was completely addicted to the first season and I am so glad to say DH and I are totally into the second season as well. I like that they have added such dimension to the characters. Pam and Eric are hilarious. I love what they have done with them. Also, I do like Jessica as well. I was...
