What about speed/power walking? I am unable to run because of a back problem, and started power walking either early in the morning or in the evening after work. I ordered the walking tapes that Honeybunch suggested and I find that it is fun trying to walk to the beat of the music, and it has...

Mixed bag week. DD was in from Nashville so eating went to pot, and my back was giving me problems. Did MIS once, rest of the time did my tai chi or power walked. On weekend felt well enough to really walk--did 6 miles on Saturday and 7, a new record, on Sunday, all at at least 4.3 mph...

I found this article in a podiatric sports medicine web site andthought it might be interesting to people: Q: How can I prevent injuries during step aerobics? A: :Step aerobics was first introduced in Atlanta by a injured aerobics instructor, Gin Miller. She started climbing her porch steps as...

I've been power walking for a few weeks and am considering training for a 10k this spring. I'm not sure how to start scheduling my training, and what speed to aim for. I've been walking to tapes that push me to a 4.3-4.35 MPH, and I've done up to 4 miles at that pace. What sort of pace do I...

Hi, I had a pretty good week. I keep meaning to bring in my schedule to work on Monday but then forget. I did two alternating days of CTX Upper Body (love that tape!), power walked 3 days, then on the weekend did a 4 mile powerwalk, plus my t-tapp challenge every other day. This week (today)...

Hi everyone! Deborah, have you ever tried frozen bananas? They are good also, and supply potassium. Just peel a ripe banana, wrap in saran wrap and freeze. I do that with all my left over ripe bananas. Can't remember which days I did what last week, but I got in two complete upper body CTX...

My dream job would be a multifaceted retirement life. I would work part time as a docent in an art museum, go to school for art/poetry/literature/astronomy/etc. etc. etc., and do my artwork.

Julie, would love to talk about art some time. I think it is great that you won, you should feel so good! One thing I've learned, to take rejections with a grain of salt. I remember entering one of my silk screen prints in a show, and looking around at th entries and thinking, I'm a shoo-in...

My turn. I am 59, hitting 60 in a few months, divorced, with two wonderful kids aged 33 (DD) and 30 (DD). Both are in helping professions and making their mom really proud. Had breast cancer 4 years ago, which you would think would make me change my habits, but it wasn't until last year that...

My daughter is 33, has had lupus since she was 16, and has just gotten engaged. At one point she was adverse to having children, but now she is thinking more positively about it. She checked with her latest rheumatologist, and he agreed with her last one. They both felt that the important...

Rhonda, we may be neighbors! I live right off the Georgia Ave. corridor, and go to work down Connecticut Ave, right where the Shell station was. My kids have made me promise not to shop on any major streets, and I noticed there is a state trooper on patrol even in the small shopping center...

Here's my initial plan for the first three weeks of the rotation. I only have 45-60 min to work out in the a.m. Depending upon how these work, I will adjust or change for the following 10 weeks. I am following 2 heavy weeks with a light workout week. week 1: Monday - mini ab workout, evening...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-30-02 AT 03:47PM (Est)[p]May I join you?... although I will need to be creating a different rotation, as I need to work around back/knee problems. I am going to be 60 in December, and I am determined to be at a healthy weight, and in good muscular shape by then. I have lost...

RE: Age factor, no way! I'm hitting 60 this december--it's taken me over a year, but I can now hold a plank for almost a minute (think it was Aquajock that turned me on to planks) and now as a result of the planks can do 8 straight leg pushups, albeit not as low as they do on the videos. I am...

Just got my B&T Rocker this weekend, tried it out yesterday and really like it. I'm curious....lots of you have had yours for a while. I know Honeybunch saw results in about 9 weeks. Honeybunch, have you continued to see further results? What about the rest of you? Have you seen results? Do...

Honeybunch, I don't know whether to thank you or not. After getting burned and losing $70 on the B&TRocker to the witch on e-bay who never returned my money or sent the B&TR, I wasn't going to order one.....and wasn't going to order one....and...but....well...mmm...buying at this price from a...
