    Who recommended "The Outlander Series"

    I love books that have well developed characters and are not so short that everything is wrapped up in 200 pages. I absolutely love the Outlander series. I have read every book more than once. I adore Jaime and Claire and I am just dying to find out what happens in the next book. Diana...

    Bike Riders

    MJ, some of that soreness will just go away with time. You have to let your adjust to the activity. You didn't mention where you are sore, and that makes a difference in figuring out how to fix the problem. Are your female soft tissues sore? Is it your sitbones? Your coccyx? It really makes...

    Has anyone had a body wrap?

    You know, like at a spa? I have never done this and am considering it, but want to get input on what the experience was like. I am not looking for any long lasting effects, but I am going on a spa vacation in a few weeks and some of the descriptions of the various wraps sound really nice...

    Have you ever tried to stop yourself from correcting someone's form?

    I have to admit it bothers me when I see really poor form. But I always tell myself, "at least they are here trying." They could be at home on the couch. One of the things that is really bothering me lately, although I freely admit it is really nothing to me, is that when folks at spin...

    On the Fence re: STS Cardio

    I have to through my hat in this ring! I struggle with pretty severe piriformis syndrome and anything high impact can really flare me up. I love intensity, and I have been doing a LOT of spinning lately, but I just cant' handle a ton of jumping. Here's hoping for TOUGH modifications!

    Hey Lorrayne, just asking on the off you might know. I need some plates for my Troy Lite bar and am wondering if you know, off hand, any place local which sells them. TIA, Bekki

    Doing my Very 1st Spin Class This Week - Pointers?

    I have been spinning now for about a year. (and boy am I dizyy, ba-da-bump). I never bought padded shorts or a seat cover and I have been just fine. You will be fine for your first class and then you will be able to decide if you would be better with shorts or a cover. Spinning is just so...

    I miss John Denver!

    He had such an incredibly beautiful voice. I have one of his compilation (sp?) albums on my ipod.

    CCPP Results?

    DH and I just finished. We did our usual Sat. A.M. spin class, then hopped immediately in to PP. We called the Spin class our add on. DH said at the end "we should do that every Saturday!" I dedicated to TxGin and my dear brother Bryan. Thank you to all of my kind hearted Catheites...

    CCPP Saturday

    Well, I haven't done a PP in a while, but I think I will this time. I'm not sure what day - I have spinning on Saturday, and I am headed up to Disney on Sunday to see DH's brother (visiting from MT) - I guess I may just do it on Sat after spin. We will see. I am dedicating to my brother...

    I think I need some drugs...

    Have some things to look forward to. We recently signed up for a mountain biking class and I found it really helped me to have that to look forward to. Now that our class is over, I have noticed a significant drop in my mood. This is just an example of what I have found to be true for me over...

    Substitution for Chinups

    I also need to know. I tried disc 2 yesterday, and I have tubing. The tubing didn't really work. I have the little door insert thingy too and it just kept sliding down. I didn't really feel that I got the most out of the workout without a way to do the pull ups.

    any avid cyclists doing STS?

    I am a cyclist wannabe. Spinning is my new found love and DH and I just took a beginner MTB class. We plan on buying bikes in the very near future. Currently I go to spin class 3 days a week. I am struggling a bit with how to fit in the leg workouts, because I too, find that I have a tough...

    Critical Mass!

    If it makes you feel any better, I don't have mine yet. They are supposed to get here tomorrow, but UPS here has been slow. I am hoping to start on Thursday!

    My STS Preview Review!!!!

    I loved this review, and I quite disagree, you are a FABULOUS review writer. I, too, was concerned about a 3 month Gymstyles, (which I do, but don't love,) but I, too, took the plunge because I love Cathe. I am so encouraged by this review and it has helped to re-rev my excitement about STS...

    I'm SO aggravated! LONG

    I feel very grateful to be in the same boat. DH and I do enjoy the excitement of Christmas. I love to see the presents under the tree and it is really fun to see a loved one open gifts. However, we are so blessed that we really don't need anything. We are very modest purchasers (see Nancy's...

    100 Greatest Singers of All Time

    There is old interview of Billy Idol on the B side of one his albums from many moons ago. Martha Quinn, of MTV fame, did the interview. In the interview Billy is talking about who influenced him and at one point he is talking about rock singers like Mick Jagger who "can't sing but sound...

    Dorky confession time!

    Well, this isn't going to contribute too much, but DH and I were doing something the other day (for the life of me I can't remember what,) and we just looked at each and other and said "man we are a couple of nerds." I think just about everything I do is really nerdy and uncool. Oh well, I...

    The thing about yoga that drives me nuts!

    I think the instructions are designed to get you to think about or focus on a particular area. Like if i think about side ribs, I think and focus on my ribs on the side. The thinking about the area helps to focus the pose in that area. Like anything else with yoga there is a learning curve...
