    Important Question to CATHE...

    Not sure what you are worried about that causes that much noise...if you are on a second floor and the jumping involved with some of the cardio is too loud below, you could do low impact inside, and move your higher impact to outside. Otherwise, does lifting weights really make noise? If you are...

    Please Help Me :(

    NUMBER ONE: if you are still having ANY kind of suicidal thoughts, do NOT be alone at this time. That could mean having someone you trust actually stay with you (or stay with them), or talking to close friend/relative/counselor/church person...or at least staying in touch HERE, on the board. YOU...

    Runners....HELP with shoes please!

    It seems that Asics hasn't worked for you, but I thought I'd respond anyway...I have high arches and the Gel Landreth has been my favorite for years. You probably already know from all your research: "High Arch A high-arched foot is also known as an under-pronated foot. A runner with...

    What's Next?

    When I do the Pyramid workouts, I do the UB and LB once during the week, and make the third weight workout full body. (and the 4th circuit or full body, if I do 4 that week).

    follow up on body fat issue :)

    <<I could lose another 3-4 pounds but I get a bit gaunt looking>> This doesn't sound like 27% body fat! If you don't have "jiggly" or or other visibly fat areas as well...it is possible that the number is wrong, even though the method you described may be more reliable than some others. The...

    hot tea ???

    <<One other question........how do you use the loose leaf? Do you buy special bags or is there something else you use? Maybe you don't use anything?>> I use a metal device that I think is called a "tea ball". It's like two very small strainers (about 1 1/2 in diameter) connected to a handle...

    Would really love some opinions on this conversation!

    just some other thoughts to consider... Yes, of course beating a spouse (or anyone) is not acceptable. And regardless of the reason, you as a consumer have every right to not attend or watch a particular player or team. Do you "need" to forgive him? well, certainly not for those reasons -...

    Lower Body Endurance for Running?

    RE: Running Shoes Yes of course, safety and injury prevention are the MOST IMPORTANT things when getting new shoes (and figuring out when you need them!). I had not considered the reason you explained to affect the life of the cushioning and support, and everything you said makes perfect sense...

    Lower Body Endurance for Running?

    RE: More Running Questions <<I am wearing a pair of Asics Gel 1120 running shoes that I bought in January, and it is time for a new pair.>> While it is always fun to get new stuff (and I'm sure the retailer doesn't mind)...are you sure you need another pair right now? (just want to make...

    Calories burned?

    That will vary significantly depending on the person's weight, body fat/muscle amounts, fitness level, etc. The best way to get an estimate for yourself is probably to get a heart rate monitor that calculates calories and wear it during those workouts. Or if you're trying to use that information...

    Hand Strength

    Many websites sell devices to help with this. They are usually called lifting straps or wrist straps. They can be as simple as a length of cotton webbing, to fancier things with neoprene padding and velcro straps around the wrist and a strap that has a bit of velcro on the end. You basically...
