    Gym pants for dimply backsides

    Does anyone have suggestions for a brand or style of gym pants that aren't shiny polyester and show every ripple in my less than perfect behind? I wear gym shorts at home, but just joined a gym and everyone wears polyester looking capris and pants. I'd like some that are less shiny and tight...

    Don't order from Holabirdsports.com

    Just wanting to share my experience with Holabird Sports to save others some hassles. I ordered some Rykas which didn't fit and called them for a return authorization number, and returned them right away via ups. Note that this company doesn't even have a 1-800 number, it's a fee call. So I...

    How do you build up stamina?

    I'm in awe of how much stamina many of you have, from the looks of your routines. After 30 minutes I can't wait to call it quits, whether it's weights or cardio. I eat really healthy and am not overweight (5'4, 119). Should I be concerned? I wish I had the energy some of you do! Bella

    body image: do you not know if you're chunky or thin?

    Just curious if anyone else has this kind of blind spot, where you really have no idea what your body truly looks like to others. In some mirrors I look overweight, and in others I look just right. Sometimes my upper body looks gaunt, other times, roly poly. I'm 5'3.5, 122 lbs, so I know by...

    What did you think of timesaver?

    I like to keep my workouts under 45 minutes a day, so I usually do cardio or weights but not both. But I was wondering about the timesaver dvd and what folks think of it? I hear it's a lot like ctx but I rarely see it mentioned. tia--Bella

    is a half hour of cardio enough?

    Just wondering what other people's experience is. Is 30 minutes a day of cardio enuf, and how many days--ok how few days--can I get by with? I can make myself go longer, but it's a great challenge to my attention span. It just isn't there. Curious what other people do? I'm in the...

    how long did it take you to learn lowmax?

    Omigosh I'm having a terrible time learning this one. I don't do that much step, maybe that's why, but I've learned some of the other step workouts alright. Any suggestions? Totally stuck on that step-sweep thing where she does a lot of it backwards to the camera. Doh! ;-) Bella

    chicken to cut back running

    Hi all, I do cathe weight workouts twice a week and then run 45 minutes another 3 days a week. I'm just a little bored with running and want to do some cathe cardio instead...but I'm afraid I'll get bigger. Do any of you stay thin and NOT run? I'm not someone who has the attention span...

    Gym style premixes

    I was wondering if the gym styles have good shorter premixes that are still effective? I don't have the attention span to work 1 body part for 20 or 30 minutes. Not like I need more workout dvd's but...I'd like 'em. Thanks, Bella :+

    Heavy lifting and being hungry

    Hi all, I just started a slow and heavy rotation which I haven't done for a few years now...been addicted to power hour, then pyramids. The problem is I forgot how hungry I get with slow and heavy! How do you handle this? I don't want to gain weight. Thanks...Bella

    musclemax, and an interesting link

    I just did the upper-body mix of muscle max and it's so perfect for my needs! The music and set are great, it's a lot of fun, and you only spend 6 or 7 minutes on each body part. Bada bing, bada boom, you're done. If you're like me and don't have the energy or attention span for an hour of...
