    I found dumbbells in ONE POUND INCREMENTS!!

    I don't remember what the price is at fitness 1st but I got some from megafitness.com. They also price match and then some so I found another site(ironcompany.com) that was about 85 cents/lb for the dumbbells and they matched the price plus gave me 10% of the difference.

    Working out on cement floor

    I have the foam mats and really like them.I doubled up on them to provide enough cushioning for my knees. MIne were $2.99 each and Ithink I got 18 at Kmart. Others have gotten them for less at places like HOme Depot.

    Q for Honeybunch "legs...

    I've had mine a couple of weeks and I am really enjoying it. Ihave a knee that always gives me problems but the B&TR is awesome! I've been able to do squats and lunges without knee pain. I was alittle concerned after reading that it did make some people's knees hurt but I think it's a great...

    Has anyone used Vitrel-3?

    RE: Valerie...HELP! Hi letswork, I followed the principles from the book Becoming Babywise. Basically the authors advocate scheduling your day with your baby into three different activities throughout a 3(the cycle length increases to 4hours as they get older) hour cycle(feedtime, waketime...

    Has anyone used Vitrel-3?

    I saw an article for that in a magazine last night.It would be great if it works! My 2 kids slept 8hours at night at 10 and 8 weeks respectively so I plan to just follow the same principles I've learned in the past to help our new addition learn to sleep well on her own. The method I use is...

    Folic acid

    I took 400mcg of folic acid for about the first 4 or 5 months of pregnancy. I also take a whole foods supplement(the equivalent of eating a salad) so that has folic acid in it as well. I have read that same info that your doctor gave you. I think with my last pregnancy I took 800 mcg plus my...

    I used my BTR today......

    I think severalpeople use more than 2 bands at a time. I know Honeybunch posted that she was using 140lbs at one time(I think she's up to 150lbs). I don't see how you could use that much and only have 2 bands on each side.

    I used my BTR today......

    Lori, Isn't it great! I got my mind a week ago and have used it with the pyramid video and power hour. I really think I'm going tolike it as well. I was a tad concerned since my right knee acts up a lot but it's been great. My rocker doesn't catch on the way down, it goes down smoothly...

    ? for you Francine

    It seems like you've had your B&TR the longest. Have you had to replace the resistance bands yet? How often do you use it? I'm just wondering how sturdy the bands are especially since they've discontinued the B&TR. Thanks, Valerie

    BTR

    You can do a search on the web for the bun and thigh rocker or go to bodybyjake.com(i believe that's correct) to get an idea of what it looks like. Do a search here for bun and thigh rocker to see how creative these women have gotten with theirs! HTH, Rockette

    Heart Rate Recommdation

    Do a search on this forum, you'll get lots of info. The 140 beats max is very outdated information from what I've read. You should be able to say sentences that are(I believe) 3-7 words per sentence. Also listen to your body. Somedays you will definitely feel more winded while doing the same...

    I wonder....is there a chance that the bun and thigh ro...

    I've seen pictures of the bands and also read that the B&TR is discontinued. For you guys that have one, do you think the day may come that you go to use it but 1 or more bands pop and there's no way to replace them? Obviously then the B&TR would be unusable(unless you added weight plates)...

    Baby # 3?

    Hi Michelle, I'm 6 1/2 months along with #3 and I'm so excited! After I had #2 We wasn't sure if we'd be having anymore but as he got older we both just knew that our family wasn't complete. I agree with Kim in that I believe this baby will be the easiest yet(I have a 6 yr old and a 3 yr old)...

    Attn: Honeybunch or Francine! Another BTR ?

    I'm on the fence about getting a BTR and just had a few questions. Some people have said the BTR exercises can easily be done with a stability ball. Which one is more effective? Does the BTR work the entire thigh or just the hamstrings. I'm looking for something to challenge the entire leg...
