it's great to look in here and see all the hard work that goes on out there. yesterday i did IMAX3 and made it all the way through, it wasn't pretty, but i did it. today i did KICKMAX and found that i can actually do the tuck jumps with some pretty good air. previously i had been vertically...

i red a quote in "O" magazine the other day "a man has to be Attila the Hun to be called ruthless, all a woman has to do is put you on hold" Marlo Thomas (i don't have my magazine with me but i think that is the quote) when people find out that i lift weights they always seem to think i...

Hi Barbara! i hate to jump in on your compliment, but i posted a question about how much room is needed to do LOWMAX and never got an answer. i was hoping you could tell me. i have enough room to do step aerobics(IMAX 2 and 3 and STEP BLAST) is this enough space? please help!! thanks...

TINA! i aspire to be as sick as you!! i have a mad burning desire for Keith Urban (join the club right) and i actually talk to myself at work and tell people that i am singing. 8 hours of standing at my machine with no one to talk to! lol with everyone!:+

i usually steam my veggies using a strainer and a small dutch oven on top of the stove. i throw different herbs into the water and only steam the veggies until they are just slightly tender, i like the crunchiness. the herbs still have time to flavor the veggies and the whole house smells great!:9

hi m! i believe that to maintain or decrease back size (or any muscle size) you should decrease weight while increasing repititions. go for muscle endurance exercises rather than muscle building exercises. p.s. i am a little jealous that you can increase your muscle size without even...

hi Gayle! anytime i am uncertain i take a couple different sizes and styles into the dressing room. i am not as perky as i used to be so not every bra looks good on me. good luck!!

since we are delving into childhood traumas, when i was around 8 or 9 we had a big and very tall pine tree in our backyard. i used to climb up but not very high. one day i don't know what possessed me but i climbed up as high as i could. that was the day i found out i am deathly afraid of...

hi Laura! my ears don't pop, but they do get 'stuffed up'. don't quote me on this mommies but i believe it is from your blood pressure going just a little bit too high. mine stops after i take a couple of deep breaths and my heart rate comes down a little. have a healthy day;)

lol you guys! here's mine, about a zillion years ago before step aerobics really took off, i was just starting out in a floor aerobics class. well i was in pretty good shape and thought i was MISS THING. a Prince song came on and i was really into it, well one of my left feet caught on the...

i looooove peeps! why, you can stick an entire peep in your mouth all at once! not that i would, i've just heard rumors. oh well, another round of IMAX3 for me. p.s. i also love fruitcake but only the ones that my mother makes :9 have a healthy day!

hey Maximus! i have only recently been coming to the open forum, but i think the companionship that we find here is invaluable. i lol at some of the postings, fitness related or not. it is great that such a diverse group of people can come together and relate so well. i hope that you have...

i recently lost 35# and a lot of people have asked me how i did it. the minute i start to tell them about my diet and workout schedule i can see their eyes glaze over and the nod of their heads and in the end they say 'i'm going to have to get in shape one these days, maybe i'll try that.'...

i love it when the 'anchor arms' have to scream at the top of their lungs to get that extra rep in.x(

lol!!!! Limecat! what really annoys me is when people who are supposed to be working out are really just sitting on the equipment having a nice long conversation. have a healthy day!

i watched the hot 100 bodies show and was amazed to see that most of the top women were just skinny with no muscle and the commentators just raved about how good they looked! i am not impressed with the likes of paris hilton or pam anderson(thought she was cute at the beginning of her career)...

don't quote me on this mommies, but i think the natural fat in peanuts is actually good for you. it's been a while since i looked it up.

i have used Suzanne Deasons fat burning video and got good results from it. but i would not give up lifting and aerobics. i think the best bodies come from diverse exercising routines. have a healthy day!:D

i guess the first step in studying 'horticulter' would be learning how to spell it! (brainfart):+
