    Who here can ice-skate

    I started ice skating as an adult and got hooked. Met a group of adult figure skaters and we became "rink rats" - traveling to wherever there was "good" ice. From watching other skaters taking lessons, I decided who I wanted as a coach - I took weekly lessons, practiced 3x a week and...

They were doing some kind of floor exercise and he looks over to one of his fitness models and says, "Hey _____, is that your stomach or are your pregnant". Soon, after that remark, I never saw his show on again. Wouldn't...

    What brand of rebounder do you recommend?

    I don't have a rebounder as of yet, and I have been looking at the Urban Rebounder, however I like the Body Burner because of it's "tiltability". See http://www.bodyburner.com/ Not sure what I will do, even thinking of trying the Cardiolates classes with the rebounder before I make a...
