For info on Powerstrike and to order you can go to www.powerstrike.com. I think www.cksales.com also sells their stuff. For those interested in intense cardio, I think you'll be a little happier with Powerstrike Millenium 1 and/or 2, as 3 takes a slower pace that is better for toning and...

Cathe, this question from Sue got lost in a Maribeth thread: reporter Nov-29-02, 02:47 PM (Est) 3. "RE: Maribeth, yet another question..." Dear CATHE, I hope this message reaches you. I really enjoy the video "All Step." However, although I've been into aerobics religiously for 21 years...

Well, yes I lowered my cholesterol with weight loss and exercise, but on the other hand my genetically high blood pressure went nowhere and I had to start meds for that a year ago. Happily it was easier to get used to than I thought and I have had no noticeable side effects. Point is, some of...

I only know that three months on them had no effect on me. --Karen

Weight training itself shouldn't shrink you there, but fat loss is very likely to so you'll have to keep your calories up. --Karen

My ramblings on the subject I think maybe I'm finally at as safe a place as I'm gonna get to. I eat mostly good for me stuff out of respect for my body and desire to give it good tools to fuel all those great workouts. But sometimes in stressful times (and especially near TTOTM) it honestly...

Thanks so much for taking the time to help, I'll give the dumbbell treatment a shot. --Karen

I'm finding that working my biceps leaves me sore along the tops of my shoulders. Does anyone know if that's normal, or a sign of poor form or of trying to lift too heavy? Thanks! --Karen

LAST EDITED ON Oct-13-02 AT 05:11PM (Est)[p]I'm afraid I have no experience with walking tapes, for that I can only refer you to www.collagevideo.com for their reviews and streaming video samples, and www.videofitness.com for more extensive reviews. But when I first injured my knee I was told...

One of those 8 oz. poptop cans of pork and beans will give you 46 gms of great for you carbs, only 3 gms of fat, and plenty of fiber. It's one of my favorite snacks--I don't even bother to heat it up. --Karen

Hi Helene, The site's homepage is www.racewalk.com, click on "how to racewalk". --Karen

I wanted to thank Honeybunch and other walkers who have posted for your encouragement--I am learning to love this terrific exercise! I decided to put a lot of emphasis on walking for two reasons: even though I was doing a lot of step workouts and kickboxing, I discovered (while on vacation and...

I allow myself one sweet treat every day: an ice cream bar or two "fun-size" candy bars are my most common treats. I used to be a binger but haven't done that for years. I think part of it is getting comfortable with knowing I can have my treat every day, no one will take it away from me...

I gave them a full 3 month trial and nothing happened. We (my husband and I) even took careful before and after Poloroid pictures so we could look for any hint of changes beginning but no luck. Fortunately I used a company that had a three month guarantee and I got my money back with no...

In the past year we've bought two of the Living Arts balls and they both popped during normal use after just a few months, yet we've had other balls of unknown brand that have lasted for years. I just ordered a Maxafe ball due to good reputation and reasonable price. --Karen

Janice, I'm hoping this will be a bit of encouragement: All the time I was growing up, my mom was a practicing alcoholic. She tried several times to kick it but her record for sobriety was 23 days and even that one was a miracle. Then something finally clicked for her and she was able to let...

I just got back from a neighborhood aerobics class I'm taking along with my 19 yo daughter. What fun to see how well my videos have prepared me for anything the instructor throws at us. But my daughter and and I have a special challenge in this class--the class is in German and we don't speak...
