I just opened up the barbell set I bought from Walmart, and it came with six spring clips. These are extra, right? You only use two at a time, right? One on each side? Not any between plates? The website description says the set comes with two clips, so I was surprised to see six. Gisela

Thanks, ejostling. I'm going to google athlete's foot and see what the symptoms are--I don't know much about it. Okay... no, I don't have that. I simply neglected my feet for too long, they got dry, and the outside edges of my big toes got one crack each. My heel "cracks" are...

Holy moly moly MOLY! Wow! The calluses on my big toes are gone, along with the painful fissures (cracks). On Sunday night I soaked the toes in warm water while bathing my kids. Then, b) gently scrubbed them with a callus file (file on one side, sandpaper thing on the other...

I've got calluses on the outside edge of both big toes. I didn't think this was a big deal, but that was naive. They cracked, and now I'm wondering...how do you get these things to heal? Sure makes cardio workouts feel a bit awkward. Gisela

Weeeeellllll...yeah...I've noticed the mish-moshes. The thing is--I'm completely and utterly intimidated by the prospect of attempting anything that Aquajock might do. If I understand correctly, she's hardcore and badass--with her workouts. Seriously fit and in shape, and ceaselessly...

So, I recently discovered that a bunch of you use the "blasts only" premixes from Low Max or Imax 3 as Add-Ons to other workouts, such as cardio. This got me wondering what ELSE you all do! What are your favorite add-ons? (especially legs focused) Also, combining premixes--I know...

Just moved to Utah. Lovin' it. People here sort of make fun of living in Utah. But man, I'm happy. Anyway--who's in Utah?? Gisela

Cheryl--oh my. Okay. My question's answered, lol! :-) Thanks!

Please, I've seen Maggie and she's just plain yummy looking. Which will embarrass her if she reads this. }( Gisela

Good news for most women out there >(not for me, I'm not shaped like an hourglass, I'm shaped like >a rectangle x( ), you're not the only one... x( ;-) Great looking rectangle! Quickie response to your question--I've been thinking about this too. Beyonce comes to mind... kids...

That's what I was thinking--it probably works well as an add-on. Well Laurie--I dunno! I need to work up to that a bit. I mean, I need to work up to that A LOT. Not quite ready! But knowing people actually use it--the idea will linger in my mind for sure. Thanks Laurie! Gisela

No, *I* haven't done this, and don't think I will anytime soon--but has anyone done the Blasts Only premix of Lowmax? Just very curious! Humor me! Gisela

This morning during Lowmax: Cathe: We're doing it all over again! Me: No we're not! Cathe: Another 15! Me: Oh Sh**! Gisela

RE: Not bad! Oh gosh I've been meaning to email and call you too! I was afraid I'd taken so long you'd think I forgot about you! ;( I'm going to need to call you (tomorrow or Thursday) --we need to yak. Can't type that much! Miss you! Gisela

OH yeah. (affectionately, of course) Gisela

Thank you! --is it Tess? That was exactly the input I was looking for. I just ordered the set! I was able to get free shipping with Ship to Store, so with tax I paid $21.01. !!NICE PRICE!! Can't wait to use it! yay, my first barbell! }( Gisela

I don't know that they're worse in the morning. As for getting around them, I can tell you how, personally, I DON'T succeed in getting around them! Usually all I want to do is escape--into reading, computer games, sleeping, etc. I'm sure you know what I mean. For myself, I call it...

I'm looking at the US Weight 55 lbs. Aerobic Weight Set, sold online at Walmart for $19.66. It's a 5lb barbell that comes with 4 10lb plates and 2 5lb plates. Here's the link: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=2171148 For those of you who use this--I've got questions...

Finally tried this recipe from Shape magazine: http://www.shape.com/recipes/4314 It's a cool combo of chickpeas, cucumber, red pepper, and corn with "Asian" flavorings. The picture with the recipe shows long strips of red pepper--I cut mine into small cubes. I also used corn from a can...

I would NEVER use my Super Step for aerobics. It doesn't feel stable. Even if you used it with no risers or with only one riser on each side--it would either be kinda too low or too high, not a nice in-between. I love it for a weight bench, also as a substitute for the High Step which I don't...
