30 Day Shred Question...
I just got this DVD, I love The Biggest Loser and Jillian Michaels. The question I have is when did you change stages? The DVD I have appears to have 3 stages, which to me says 10days of each stage. Is this what you all did/do?

Nordic Track Ski Machines
Does anyone else use this cross country ski machine? I have tried different types of cardio throughout the years, and for me, this machine has given the absolute best workout - 50% less impact than walking, calorie burn equal to running, works upper and lower body simultaneously (not to mention whittles your waist!). After…

"Love" Handles!
I've been told "they aren't love handles unless somebody loves you!" ...but that doesn't help me love them! I have small love handles, but they are the first place to grow as soon as I put on any weight. The only way I see them disappear is when I'm stressed out and my eating drops, but as soon as I start eating right, or…

Is it too late?
Hi I have gone over my calories this weekend by around 1200 calories (I don't need anyone to tell me how bad this is either). My question is can I burn them off by exercising and not eating the burned calories back over the next two days or is it too late? Many Thanks in advance Jaycee x

Getting Thirsty
I've been running for the past few months and my runs are getting beyond 5 miles and growing. At times I get a bit thirsty but I have lucky to find a garden hose here and there to grab a quick drink. But I'm thinking anytime that the homeowner will come out with a shotgun to defend his water rights. What are you runners…

Side cramps while running
Recently I switched from the treadmill to running outside (just got so bored of the treadmill). I have started to get frequent side cramps that can be bad enough that I stop running to walk. If I try to start running again the cramps come back. What is going on and is there anything I can do to prevent/treat these?

Polar FT4
My F7 strap is garbage and I am lost without my HRM :cry: If I replace just the strap it would cost around $60. I just purchased a FT4 on ebay for $58.00!! I am going to see my F7 (just the watch) since it is of no use to me. I did like it a lot though and maybe one day the chest straps won't be so much. I am so excited…
