Hi Amy, I think core synergistics is awesome! It's really tough and it gets my heartrate up. It includes all kinds of non-crunch moves. Some that come to mind are: Superman-Banana: Start on your stomach, in superman pose, then roll over onto your back, trying to keep your arms and legs...

Hi Gabriel, Welcome back! To answer your question: Cathe hurt her knee. She thinks it happened doing kickboxing, but isn't certain what caused it. She explains it on her page, and I think that post is "stuck" at the top. From my memory and understanding, something was wrong with her...

I had the same experience as Kathryn and Janie: I had to work up to longer workouts. I think I could do 20 minutes at first, and then my feet hurt and my head hurt or I felt dizzy. I also got cramps in my side sometimes at first. Now I can bounce for about 45 minutes and I feel good...

Sarah, I'm not married or engaged, but thought I'd butt in anyway :-) I went to a wedding this spring that had lots of kids in attendance. During 90% of the ceremony, one kid screamed his head off. The parents would not take him outside. The whole church full of guests, the minister...

>Hey Ima, I've got you beat. Our neighbor cuts her lawn with >scissors! And I'm not talking trimming it. She sits on her >lawn from morning til night and cuts it to the roots. This is so funny, because when I was a kid, my neighbor did the same thing! She was an older woman, maybe...

Congratulations!!! I have read a lot of your posts here, offering advice and wisdom to those who have less exercise experience. You are a huge asset to those of us who have questions. You are a huge asset to anyone who needs inspiration to overcome something and improve her life! Thank you...

I sometimes work out when I'm sick. I've heard or read that if you just have a cold, cardio can help chase it out of your body. I definitely lower my expectations when I'm sick. If I stop after a few minutes, I'm fine with it. If I lower the intensity or weights or reps, I'm fine with that...

Uh oh, Shelley better watch out for me! I'll catch up in no time!! Tonya

I usually want mine off of my face and my neck. I don't really like the feeling of sweaty hair sticking to my skin. But, if I am doing something non-sweaty, like yoga or stretching, I might just use barrettes to get it off my face. Tonya

I haven't heard of the book you mentioned. I'll have to check >it out. > >Sparrow > It might be too silly for you, if you like serious history. She doesn't make things up, but she focuses a lot on the entertaining aspects of history (the assassin of Garfield was a member of a New York sex...

"Me too! Other people have "rock star" fantasties, I dream >about being a librarian! :+" > >Sparrow Hi Sparrow, I'm reading Sarah Vowell's Assassination Vacation (which is partly about Lincoln) and she says that her "rock star" dream is to be a docent at a historical site. I couldn't...

<--was just LOL that your professor is called "Lying Judge Ware" in that article! It's so Dukes of Hazzard!

<--is OMG-ing at the story of your professor! <--feels for you <--thinks law professors are often so out-of-control because their giant egos get such a boost from forcing smart people to listen to their drivel endlessly <--thinks those attys you know have forgotten all the bad things, since...

<--waves back at Amy! <--did not enjoy Civ Pro at all. <--'s teacher was a nice old man who had never practiced law but had studied tax law and civ pro for 40 years (how awful!)(for <---, it would be hell) <--teacher thought it was fun to make up elaborate litigation strategies and then say...

<--- heard Amy's cry for distraction! <--- is a fellow law student, suffering through exams <--- had first exam of the semester today: Patent Law! It was 30 short-answer questions, which <--- liked a lot. <--- much prefers those to issue-spotting essays <--- is still feeling out of it after...

I also find them really awkward! It feels weird on my elbows. I don't do SS very often, but I think I have tried lighter weights sometimes and others I've just done standing curls. Sometimes I am in the mood for giving something different a chance, and others I want to do what I already like...

Marie, Do you take them with food? I used to feel sick every morning from taking them until I started taking them immediately after eating breakfast. If that's not the problem, I don't see any reason why the chewables wouldn't work! Good luck! Tonya

It happens to me, too, always on the left side. I think it always connected to one of these things for me: I'm very tired, I'm very stressed out, I've been staring at a computer screen or been in florescent lighting for too long. I don't know if it makes you feel any better, but at least you...

Wow, Amy, I am so proud of you for working and going to school at night! I only work 5 hours a week and a little during breaks. I don't have any excuse for not paying attention! I just get bored after a couple hours and would rather procrastinate. I'm trying to funnel that into working out...

Hi Jessica! It is nice to know that we are not alone. One of my friends at school does not look at her grades. She just keeps going and assumes she'll get a letter if they're going to kick her out! I am too curious to resist looking at them, even though I think they'll be disappointing...
