I've done this. My husband told me a looked like a suicide bomber :-P (I have 5 lb adjustable ankle weights... I guess all the little pockets that hold the weight bars look like explosives??)

Ok, so this is sort of a theoretical question... I don't usually pay a huge amount of attention to calories, but I'm still very puzzled. The background: I am a member of a hot yoga/ circuit training studio that has some very intense classes. The other day the studio made a post on their...

Except for a couple of bobs in college, I have always had long hair, but have always been the lazy, ponytail type. I always wished I was better at doing my hair, but I could never get myself to make the effort most days, and when I did I could never wear any style that was in my face AT ALL so...

This reminds me of a story my mom told me about her upstairs neighbor in NYC. The lady used to call the police at least once a week to complain that my mom's music was too loud (or something similar). The cops knew she was crazy, especially after one day my mom arrived home just behind the...

Altra Intuition. I have these and love them. They're meant to be sort of minimalist, but they aren't really. They're zero drop, which I like, but I had problems with bruised feet and ankle pain after running in VFFs for a while. These have a much more substantial sole but are super wide and give...

I love obstacle courses! A couple years ago my husband and I even built one in our backyard for a birthday party: Hmmm...: Grok-stacle course As far as the kind you're talking about, I've only done a Warrior Dash and a Metro Dash. I did Warrior Dash with my sisters in TN last year, and I...

If you have the same kind of doorframe-mounted pull-up bar that I have, it only takes about 5 seconds to put up and take down... I use mine on the bathroom door, so I just put it up when I want to use it and then take it back down. if yours is different, then this might help: Amazon.com...

You don't need no stinkin' band for the stretch max video - a bathrobe belt works just fine :) Sorry to dredge up this old thread, but I FINALLY tried the stretch max with band video this morning and I agree with everyone who recommended it - it is AWESOME. I still haven't found time to get...

Thanks! There is a Ross very close by, but I never would have thought to look there.

Thanks everyone. I got the Stretch Max segment with the band, and the STS stretch for now. Now I better get a band!

wow, I'm glad I asked! All votes are for the video I was going to skip! Silly me

Thanks, maybe I need to get a band... :D

I am looking for a stretch routine or two to do after I run in the mornings. I could just stretch on my own, but I'm one of those people who's more likely to actually DO ______ (insert anything in the blank) if I have someone telling me what to do. If I try to stretch by myself I'm just as...

A friend of mine makes soaps and lotions and things and one of the things she makes is sugar scrubs - she does them to order... idk if she has that exact scent, but she can get scents that mimic a lot of popular ones, so she might. All her stuff is made from only natural oils and is really nice...

112toGuru, did you mention what model Garmin you have? Not all of them use heart rate to calculate calories while you're running. They use speed/ distance and your fitness settings. (For example, I think that's the only difference between the 405 and the 405CX) Pretty sure the other 05's - 205...

hold down "ctrl" and hit the "+" key until it's back to normal size

I have the Bikila LS, but now I want these lace up ones: Vibram FiveFingers - SPEED :D

I have a similar problem to you Ruth - whenever I did any high impact (or even low-impact if I did enough of it) in shoes, my feet would rebel, mostly by cramping up along the lateral arch and in front of the heel. Because of this I always exercised barefoot indoors, but because the soles of my...

Metro Dash® | Obstacle Course - Home Is anyone doing this or has anyone done it before? I'm signed up in Charlotte this Saturday and I'm soooooo excited. The gym teacher always set up an obstacle course once a year when I was in elementary school and it was the highlight of my year :D

Canon and Nikon are both excellent brands, they both have models spanning the entire range of digital cameras available, and their prices are fairly competitive with each other for any given feature level. There are people who will insist that one brand or the other is better, but that's just...
