Wedding tape I'd go with the Wedding Tape unless you've done lots of step. She cues very well, and it isn't too hard to follow. It's pretty intense. The weight workout is another whole workout, and is pretty good too. They are both pretty close to an hour, so hopefully that isn't too long...

Water sounds like a good idea- I am drinking way too much diet soda. I am also trying to sub green tea and unsweetened iced tea for the soda, so I may try for 4-5 glasses a day. Plus all the other stuff. I don't mind checking in here- I am not certain how many times a week, but am willing to...

me too I think this is a great idea. I especially like the idea of one change a week. I get overwhelmed at the idea of overhauling my whole diet, and would like to move slowly with changes that stick. I really don't want to go on a diet- I hate that hungry feeling- and am hoping that small...

I'm with you- I think one person doing low impact modifications shouldn't bother anyone. I agree that from the original thread there were lots of people who would appreciate seeing one participant (near the front) do lower impact mods. Even for the high impacters, that would make it easier to...

Quads I seem to remember someone saying (maybe one of those FIRM 20 question sections?) that you tend to feel it more in your quads when you start doing tall box climbs. Then when your quads are stronger you can better target your butt muscles.

OOOOH- I was going to mention this- I had a friend who had this also, but actually thought Sheila's answer sounded more likely. Plus, I didn't want to add yet another thing to worry about. Anyway, from what she said, they do go away between pregnancies, but come back the next time. She...

Congrats Sue! Glad to hear you had such a positive experience! Exercise really does give you the strength you need to deal with the little surprises that come up, doesn't it? Love the name Evan- named my first Evan. Enjoy him-they are soooo sweet when they are tiny. BLinda

Just found this- I was looking aroung Andrew Weil's site, and found an interesting note. In his newsletter, there is an article about yoga. He mentions that yoga (11 upper body postures) were found to work better than wrist splints for CTS. He doesn't mention the postures they used, or...

ooops- What I was really trying to say was that you should figure out an apropriate level of exercise, and start that now, instead of changing when you think you might have ovulated, or concieved, or implanted, or whatever you think the dangerous time may be. That way you will continue your...

I can relate- I had Carpel Tunnel Syndrome both times I was pregnant. The first time I was working in an Electron Microscopy lab (finishing my research). Well, by month 7 I could not do anything but look at samples I had already prepared and develop pictures. I had given up the fixation due...

exercise <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON May-05-00 AT 10:06AM (EST)</font></center> andrea- You got great answers to your real question, but I just want to add something. I don't know how much exercise you are doing, or why you think it may be responsible for a...

I was hoping so too! <center><font size="1" color="#ff0000">LAST EDITED ON Apr-26-00 AT 11:54AM (EST)</font></center> I mean the VHS is such a deal, it is hard to pass up. I really want the 6-pack on DVD, and wouldn't forgive myself if I only bought it on VHS, and don't really have quite...

Good question! I am among those who are hoping they are not too fast. I just can't follow the step in BodyMax at all. I guess that a mix would be best, since some people like it fast, but I find I love slower moves with a better range of motion. Linda

Anything can happen. My first was breech at 35-36 weeks, and turned. I expect he must have been around 7 lb, as he was 8lb 10oz when he was born (quite a bit later at 10 days late). I think I did everything they ever mention in books, but I think he turned in my sleep. I swear I never felt...

I'm sorry- I was so hoping for good news. Wishing you all the best! Linda

I am right there with you! Hi Loretta- I know how you feel, because your numbers are very close to mine. I too am 5'4", and far closer to 200lb than I like. I find it interesting that your Dr. said 170 because I remember from the way up, that there was a distinct difference in how I felt...

Good Luck- Those sound like pretty good signs to me. I guess you'll know for certain tomorrow though. Wishing you the best of luck!! And I just must add, about your friend with the twins- those test look for a very specific chemical that doesn't remain at high levels throughout a...

My husband goes to the gym- but he only goes 10 times a month (that's what he needs for his co to pay for his membership), and is doing the same routine he set up when he joined 5 years ago. I keep telling hem he needs to do something different, and go more, byt he doesn't. I think he would...

If you can manage- try to skip both the episiotomy and the tear! I had an episiotomy the first time- no tear, they just wanted to deliver him faster, and I know exactly what Cathe means about "Not being sewn up right." I remember thinking that I would never want to sit on a bicycle again...

I thought you meant to type that! My husband and I are always joking about the groan area. I think actually some comedian had a line involving his "groan area" (for some reason, is seems to fit Archie Bunker, but I like to beleive it is more recent than that). Anyway, you are in good company-...
