    Bowflex Selecttech & Others like them

    I have had the Bowflex Select Tech dumbbells 5# to 52.5# for a few years. One of the best investments I have ever made. They work very well with STS and those weighted gloves as it covers all different weight amounts which you can change quickly...:)

    Opinions on RYKA Studio Flex Mid?

    runners/marathoners

    I started lifting before I started running marathons, so as I eased into the distance of marathon training I still did weight lifting. I think your upper body benefits from lifting as you need the upper body strength in those last hard miles of a marathon. I also do lower body lifting during...

    Anyone do their own acrylic nails?

    Govtgirl...I have been a licensed manicurist sine 1989 and have done my own nails now and before I was licensed. I am not a fan of acrylic due to the fungus issues which usually generates from the liquid monomer used IMO. I use a combo of fiberglass (which is a wrap) and crystal (crystal being...

    Exercises disappearing off of the Workout Card?

    I figured it out but not sure why it works this way. If I go through my Calendar (In the Workout Manager) for the STS workout that is where some of the exercises are missing off the workout card. But if I go though STS on the Workout Manager no missing workouts on that workout card....just...
