Thanks, ladies!

I'd really like to get a neck pad like Cathe and the others use on the videos. I can't find one in my local sporting good stores and I'm wondering if any of you on the forum use them and where you got yours'.

Actually, my rear end looks okay in my clothes and it IS in proportion to the rest of my body. I was whining I guess because it's summer and we're supposed to go boating with friends soon and I don't want to put a bathing suit on! Rockette, what are callenetics? Boring or not, I'd try it if...

Okay, I need serious help with this lumpy, sagging body part that scares me everytime I see it in the mirror! What do you recommend as the best exercises or workout tapes for the glutes and how often do I need to work "it" before I see some definition again?

I have discovered that Tommy Hilfiger jeans are a good fit for me, as long as I can find a relatively classic style, not the goofy teenybopper ones with a big TH on the butt. The ones I like sit below the waist which I like because I think that cut helps camoflage a belly pooch.

Boy, do you speak the truth when you say aging sucks! Until I hit 40 two years ago I never gave any thought to how many calories I consumed daily. My metabolism just seemed to control my weight. Not anymore! I have to watch everything I eat and if I splurge I pack on the pounds easily now...

Thanks for the info! I work for an investment advisory firm so I find this stuff very informative. I've had a few clients call in this morning with questions about Worldcom and I didn't know what it was all about. Your thread was the first I'd heard of it. They're wanting to sell some of...

RE: Lynnesq2 and R Burke This thread pulled at my heartstrings so I need to jump in here. First of all, I'm so sorry to hear you're hurting. I am currently trying to help one of my best friends survive a breakup after 30 years of marriage. Her husband is almost 50 and is having a mid-life...

Hey, cool website! Thanks Lori! One hour of high-impact aerobics for an old lady my age burns 385 calories. When I selected kickboxing it says it burns 551 calories! (As opposed to repairing an airplane, which burns only 165.) Hmm. Very interesting!

Does anyone know how to figure the amount of calories you're actually burning when you do, say, the Cardio Kicks workout? I did that one last night and, as you know, it's a tough workout. And do I burn as many calories doing a workout like this as opposed to running for an hour? I'm just...

Thanks, Honeybunch! I'm printing recipes up as we speak!

LAST EDITED ON Jun-03-02 AT 10:47AM (Est)[p]I used glucosamine chondroitin a few years ago when I experienced hip pain caused by using my Nordic-Track too much for long periods of time. It took several weeks of taking it but it really made a difference! You have to follow the dosage directions...

I was just now reading the clean eating check-in and it has me motivated to eat clean this week too, so maybe I can carry it over to next week and week after! What I need is recipes or a website to find ways to fix beans and legumes, etc. because I know I don't get enough of these kinds of...

I met my husband in high school. We were high school sweethearts and got married right out of high school. Being from a little town in Iowa where everyone knows everyone, and being so young, alot of people said we'd never make it. But we proved them wrong and this year will celebrate 23 years...

It is the number one most important thing you can do to start on the road to fitness. In laymen's term, it's paying attention to what you eat each and every day and sticking to nutritious, low-fat foods that fuel your body. It's watching the size of your portions, watching your calorie and fat...

I'm glad to know I am not the "quirkiest" person in the world now. I read magazines and newspapers from the back page to the front. I will scan the articles like that too especially if I don't have time to read the whole article. I guess I figure if the end sounds interesting I'll go back to...

Do you feel soda pop is the worst because it's empty calories? Or is there something that's even worse about it? As you can probably guess, I am sitting at my desk at the moment sipping on a Dr. Pepper. Wish I didn't like this stuff so much!

As a former "sun worshipper" my best advice is to use a self-tanner regardless of the hassle. I am 42 years old and don't tan anymore. Even if I were to sit in the sun intentionally my skin doesn't tan nicely anymore. It blotches and freckles my arms and is very uneven and ugly. I have tiny...

Aside from all the lovely things about Cathe already mentioned above, I have to say I really like that she is close to my age and in such excellent shape. That in itself inspires me to stay in shape and to stay young! :-jumpy

I would be VERY interested if anyone has an answer to this question because I have the same problem. My c-section flab has been with me for about 15 years now and it continues to hang there through all my workouts and ab routines and good eating. Am I stuck with it forever?
