As a fellow sufferer I empathize. Everyone above has given good advice--in fact I am going to keep a strap by my bed--never thought of that, as well as trying the marbles. My orthotics have helped alot,but I am sooo tired of wearing sensible shoes all the time. And when I rebound alot I find...

RE: Artmaker -- re: D. Morris Oh no! I paid by money order. Darn! Now what do I do?! I will write her as well as E_bay.

K-60, did you order yours from D. Morris? I ordered mine around the 15th of Aug, and still haven't received it. If you ordered yours around the same time maybe there's hope for me. I was thinking it wasn't ever going to come.

I vote for as much floor work as you are willing to put in, and slower, as indicated earlier by a number of people. At age 60 the standing leg exercises are tougher for me to deal with (bad knees, bad back) and I sometimes need to adapt, but I loved your floor work and am eager for more!

LAST EDITED ON Aug-15-02 AT 03:09PM (Est)[p]Re the powder - I really like Aria vanilla protein powder, combination of soy and whey protein. I usually put some in my oatmeal in the morning, along with soymilk. It dissolves easily with no lumps. You can get it at Trader Joe's if you have one...

Kathy, I just bought one also, for the $68 including shipping; honeybunch's comments and the low price convinced me! Do you think it was so cheap because there is a new model out? I saw ads for the "NEW" bun and thigh rocker for over $100. Oh well, as long as it works. Count me in if you...

Honeybunch, can you see any visual changes in the way your legs look, or is it only in the way the pants fit?

RE: thank you all! Moving to a new place is considered one of the major traumas a person can experience in life. Having a major physical problem is sure to compound the distress. Your depression has logical causes and seeing a therapist should help. Further alternatives could include getting...

Where do you get runerval tapes? I couldn't find them listed anywhere on the internet searches.

As a fit 59 year old, I might be able to help a bit. Other than Cathy tapes, you may want to look at Tamilee Webbs "I want those..." series (arms, butt, abs, bod) They are all 15 minute segment tapes, and you can add #s as is comfortable. A number of the women I know are using them. They also...

I got mine from fwonline.com and they were much cheaper than in the stores. I don't know how shipping to canada works, however, but they are really nice to deal with.

I got mine through fitness warehouse on line. I think their site is fitnesswarehouse.com. It was cheaper than sports authority, I got it within the week, and I was able to get extra risers. They are very nice to deal with.

Liza, go the the video fitness reader's forum (videofitness.com), and look under challenges. We have started a pilates challenge there and if you refer to the last few weeks of messages you will find lots of good suggestions for pilates videos. I just got the winsor series and I like them very...

RE: Another Barnum & Bailey masterpiece . . . I don't have much respect for the author. I remember reading his first book--and the only thing I came away with was along with a general antipathy for his writing, was that he didn't recommend walking, said it was a waste of time in trying to get...

Well, I'll be going on 60 this December, and I've promised myself that if I can lose my final pounds by my birthday I am going to get myself a tattoo for my shoulder, to highlight my fit, muscular shoulders and body and show how in shape a 60 yr old can be. My kids (aged 33 and 30) are all for...

I usually lurk, but have read many of your postings and admired your good sense and balanced comments. I've also followed your training progress and want to say that you deserve getting the best of everything after all your hard work. Congratulations! I wish I could be one of your clients. Susan

This may not apply to you young'uns, whose skin is more elastic, but as a fast approaching 60 year old, who is losing weight slowly but steadily, I see the muscles I am building from my lifting, but I also am beginning to see wrinkles and puckers in my underarms where I am losing weight. Am I...

RE: Where is a good place to... LAST EDITED ON May-20-02 AT 11:02AM (Est)[p]On the recommendation of the people at Video Fitness, I ordered a Needak, and got what seemed like a good price. The Needak was rated highly from all I read elsewhere. The size is 41" overall, it folds for transporting...

I read something from last year here about rebounding; no one seemed all that hot on the experience, but I thought perhaps with new people viewing that there might be a different response. I have just ordered a rebounder, and would like to know what people's experiences are. As a middle-aged...
