I apologize if this has been asked before, but I'm wondering how much I can/should work my abs while pregnant. I JUST found out 2 days ago and it's pretty early, but I was wondering if there were any standard guidelines, etc. here in Catheland? Thanks!

I've been perusing the kettlebell threads for a bit, but now I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the different options. So, my question is: what would you experts suggest for my first KB purchase? The best and cheapest kind to buy? Where to buy? How many to buy? Which DVDs to buy (I'm...

I'm not sure who first posted info about the "Skin Type Solution" book, but man oh man, do I want to give you a big hug!!!:D I learned SO much from reading this book (and how I was using some very bad products for my skin type - ack!). Anyway, I spent a lot of time and $$$ at CVS a few days...

Hello- I'm not sure if this forum is the right place in which to post my question, but I figured that you guys would be the experts in this area. Anyway, DH and I are NOT TTC, but I'm going off the Pill this week (I don't like adding the synthetic hormones to my body - or the added health...

OK, after my mini-meltdown yesterday because my lack of decent ear buds, I'm ready to go this morning - DH found a nice pair of Sony Sport ones he'd had for awhile but never used. YAY!!! Anyways, I see that the regular Itreaders here have a hard time picking a favorite workout, but if anyone...

Okay, I finally bit the bullet, borrowed MY GRANDMA'S mp3 player (she's awesome and way more tech-savvy than I am!), taught myself how to download and then transfer an ITread to the player - and then discovered that the damn ear buds will NOT stay put!!! Here I am so proud of myself for moving...

Hi Cathe (or educated crowd), When doing tricep extensions over/behind the head, is it better to hold onto both ends of the dumbbell (horizontal position) or grip one end of the dumbbell (vertical position)? I was doing GS:C&T yesterday and was wondering about this. I like holding both...

. . . during L[M]eaner Legs, I think she'd certainly blush! :o I haven't done this workout in years - YOWZA!!! I had more than one cursing reply to her "Did you feel that?" question!}( I couldn't seem to leave well enough alone, so then I tacked on the PLB stability ball routine - can you...

I always do PUB on a stability ball (I don't have a bench and I like using the ball for an extra challenge). I previewed the Gym Styles and was wondering if I could do the same thing with these workouts? Has anyone done this? Basically, I don't want to have to buy another piece of equipment...

Good morning ladies! Technically this is Day #1 for me, so here goes: Breakfast: oatmeal with protein powder, wheat germ, flaxseed, and fresh strawberries; 2 cups coffee My school is on a 2-hour delay this morning b/c of a power outage, so I'm going to take advantage of it and get some...

WOW - I just did this for the first time and I think it's my new favorite w/o! (Sh, don't tell my KPC!) I was a little worried about the time frame, but it flew by pretty fast. The only thing is that I'm not really into step, so I just made up my own kickbox routine during the step cardio...

For those of you who have and love KPC and KM, what other kickbox w/os do you love (other instructors, etc.)? Thanks!

Calling all proud vacuum owners: Although I am allergic to pet dander, I love my 2 kitties too much and will happily suffer a few sniffles for them. BUT, I need to buy a vacuum cleaner that truly "sucks the life" out of my floors and gets all of that nasty dander out of them! I've been...

In my quest to eat (and like) healthier foods, I'm trying to get into beans, which I unfortunately can't really stand eating. I like your basic green beans, but that's about it. Does anyone have any tasty recipes or ways to eat beans that would be good for someone who doesn't particularly...
