    Forgotten Exercise???

    Trevor - Thanks for thinking that I'm not beyond help. I priced out the machine and it is affordable and I think I will get it. It has just been really frustrating because I work so hard on my legs ( hamstrings and butt in particular) and I've really seen no results. I never miss a...

    body fat

    I am not a scientist - but the fact that you've stopped mensturating indicates that you are indeed far too lean. A-Jock is really good at these types of questions - or Cathe????? Maybe you should be eating a little more during the day - up your calorie intake without ingesting more fat? You...

    The health nut verses the couch potatoe

    I saw a funny cartoon once. It dipicted a beautiful, shapely woman wearing a nice bikini. She had flat abs, tight thighs and toned arms and was truly beautiful. Standing in front her was a full-length mirror and in the mirror she saw a woman with big thighs, huge stomach and flabby arms. The...

    Forgotten Exercise???

    As a butt - hamstring challenged woman - I thank you for reminding me of this exercise. I had almost forgotten. I am no longer a member of a gym - but I just may go to the local fitness store and check out the prices of these gizmos! I remember doing them at the gym and they always fried my...

    pilates

    Ok - I just tried my first pilates workout and I hate to sound like a snob - but what's the deal? Is it really suppose to tone? It was like doing some of those so-called toning exercises that you do at the end of aerobics classes! it was a joke! I can't say I got anything out of it. Can...

    I'm out of the stone age!

    I have been using videos for years and have been moaning and groaning about the conversion to DVD's - we have one but to move it into the basement to do workouts just doesn't work (plugging in and unplugging, the mess etc.) So - I just dug in my heals and decided I'd have to use vidoes until we...

    Antidepressants and Effexor XR??

    My DH was on Effexor and boy oh boy did it affect him! He broke out in hives so severely his eyes were swollen shut and he looked as though he'd been beaten with a club. When he went to the Dr...he asked if it could be a manifestation of the meds. The Dr said no. He got two shots of...

    Very frustrated!

    Thanks Candi! I've really set my mind on mixing up my cardio - I run and do a combo of Cathe's videos! I need to mix it up - and when I run, I make sure I run hills to turn it into an interval workout. I'm hoping that will help!

    Very frustrated!

    I am a runner! In fact, before weight training - that's all I did was run & bike. I'm on Cathe's August rotation and sticking to it with a few modifications. I'm hoping if I do the Aug rotation twice in a row - I may see results - it is a shock your system type of rotation. Thanks A jock for...

    Very frustrated!

    I must say that after 1 year of weight training ....of squatting, lunging, deadlifting, highstepping etc.... I still see no changes in my hamstring and butt area! I feel like throwing in the towel! I know things take time - but I looked at myself in the mirror this weekend with my bathing...

    Puzzle mats

    I've read from others who workout in thier basements that puzzle mats work well. Those who use them - are you talking about the foam puzzle mats that are made for kids? Multi-coloured with letters and numbers on them? If so - we have some, but they seem to slip and slide around on a concrete...
