    I "Learned" a lesson.!!!

    RE: I I traded for Learn and Burn (I wanted to try one out before buying the whole lot and I have not purchased any yet). I think I don't like the dancy part with the kickbox because I am more serious about the kickboxing moves. I don't know why she returned them though. Sheila

    I'm back to the low carb high protein diet... :-(

    I have a similar problem with my cholestrol (and probably the diabeties too since my Mom had adult onset type 2). I may look into that sugar monitor though. Thanks,

    side of the butt

    Winsor Buns and Thighs is a good pilates inspired lower body routine that is about 20 minutes long but very effective. There is also another Windsor Buns and Thighs workout with the resistance band. Good luck!

    How do you bring down your cholesteral?

    I lowered my cholestrol from 270 to 212 without medicine. I only use canola or olive oil for fat. I try not to eat processed foods or foods with partially hydrogenated in the label or fructose or corn syrup. I use flaxseed and berries every day in my protein shake and that increased my fiber...

    Ok, NOW I'm nervous!

    Congratulations! You will get used to the mic thing. Also, there is nothing wrong with doing moves 8 times in a row (sometimes I use that amount of repetition to give modification ideas). The biggest thing is to do exactly what you did, keep the flow moving. BTW, when I teach step I...

    Help with Dinner

    I have managed to get my DH to eat healthier with me. I have all but eliminated the pasta from my meals. Instead, I use vegetables and stir fries and do alot of cauliflower and brocolli and make it in the microwave, steam it, with some low carb teriyaki sauce or another type of sauce or low fat...

    Hip Flexor Help Needed

    You have alot of good advice above. I would recommend adding crosstraining to your workouts. I had the hip flexor pain and foot dragging but I reduced the frequency of my step workouts and noticed improvement. In addition, I have added yoga and pilates workouts which are very nice for...

    What do you notice the most....

    I notice politeness in people and make sure that I tell them I appreciate it. I do notice people who are overweight when they wear clothes that make it look so much worse (jeans too low on the hips or tight). Then again, I have seen some students wear pajamas to class (college and, according...

    so those of you who eat clean - "junk" makes you sick?

    RE: so those of you who eat clean - I tend to get stomach cramps and gas when I eat too much sugar such as in cake or cookies (and believe it or not, I still have to have some at times but get over it quickly enough). I went a couple of years without sugar and then had a chocolate bar and it...

    flooring for garage workouts

    I work out in my basement at home and use antifatigue mats - 2 layers of it - over a carpet (and then over cement). I know that Sam's Club sells the anti fatigue mats for a good price. You may also be able to get it from Home Depot (a bit more pricey) or Walmart (not sure if they sell it)...

    Yay for Low Impact Step!

    Microphone headset help.

    I would make sure that the stereo system can handle the headset. While I am not experienced with the set up of the stereo systems with the headset, I do have my own system and use it at the gym where I teach and just plug into my own receiver which works with my headset (cause theirs is always...

    American Idol...Who is it going to be???

    I liked both of them and both performances were worthy of AI. That said, I do not really like Country music but I really liked Carrie's performances and vocals - that says more IMHO than anything! Bo was good too and definitely more mature given his age and experience in the business. I did not...
