Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients and Others with AutoImmune Di
So, what are your workouts? I'm a swimmer. I have been a swimmer for 12 years since I started in college. I wanted to start a thread that we could learn from each other as to what our workouts are on days that are good and on days that we are flaring. I recently bought a Wii and am using EA Active, Wii Sports, and Wii…

1000 in 2010
Okay, so I didn't quite achieve 800 miles in 2009 (I started a few months into the year). This year I am making it a goal to hit 1000 miles of cardio in 2010. I know there was a large group of people that were trying to hit the 800 in 2009 (I hope that everyone made it). If I figured it correctly you need to average around…

Biggest Loser and Jillian Michaels' workout dvd questions
I just bought three new exercise dvds today, and I have a few questions. I thought it'd be easier to just make one post. Biggest Loser Yoga--Do you need a medicine ball? I have a yoga ball or whatever it's called (much smaller than a stability ball). Will that work? It doesn't have any added weight. Would a medicine ball…

fitness centers, tried Curves or Go Figure?
I am pretty rural but have these two places within reasonable driving distance. Since my new job will pay for part of membership, I wonder if anyone has tried these places and has opinions or advice?

Orthotics - to wear or not to wear?
I had been training for a marathon and a couple of months before the event I started getting foot pain on the top of my left foot.

Muscle weight (how long?)
Can anyone tell me how long it takes (days, weeks, months) to gain muscle weight? Usually when I start working out (again!), I don't see any weight loss, so I'm thinking maybe it's because I've gained muscle weight. Thanks in advance for your replies!
