    Excellent program to watch: The Truth About Exercise

    I read mixed opinions online about using the fitness ball as a chair. Many say it's okay to do in 30 min increments; but not entire work day. I plan to mix the fitness ball into my day. I tested it on Friday and I found that it helps me get up more often to move around. So I will give it a go...

    Maybe I'll bring in a fitness ball to sit on and a mat to do some pushups. I can just imagine the looks I'll get at the office. :D These folks will probably think I'm a nut. LOL

    STS DEAL OF THE DAY!!!!!

    Hi ladies, I've been reading the thread on the Fifty Shades of Gray. It's an interesting discussion. :D It is nice to talk about things outside of fitness. We do all have other hobbies, I think. :) I'm curious too. I'm not a romance fan for books or films. I enjoy horror, action &...

    STS DEAL OF THE DAY!!!!!

    Thanks Gina! I started with Cathe's Hardcore series and to this day I still can't master IMAX 3. LOL The steps are too complicated for me. I always end up with my back facing the TV or all over the place. I'm better at Kickboxing. Let's hope we both get back into the groove soon! :D Justina

    Fifty Shades

    For people who fool around that much I'm guessing they don't have to work out any more! Think about the calories they must be burning. :D I wanted to see Magic Mike too! :p There isn't enough stuff like that out there for women. I think I'll get the book.

    7 Signs you're overtraining (article)

    Hi, I have never heard of them (Steven and Chris) before, but I agree with the article. When your period disappears something is not right. It's hard enough for me to get one hour of workout in, can't imagine doing much longer than that. :D Awesome picture Natasha! ;)

    STS DEAL OF THE DAY!!!!!

    Hi Gina, Which BodyMediafit do you have? On Amazon I see 4 different models with various pricing. I'm guessing the Fit Advantage will be sufficent. I like the price better than the rest. The Fit Link is pricy.
