Greetings ecrichar! So happy you found this site...I think you'll find it most helpful and enjoyable! I always encourage women to try bellydance...it is toning and cardio combined and it feels good...it is so much fun that it doesn't feel like exercise but when you are starting out you'll feel sore the next day as if you…

New belly jewelry is always a favorite! I just bought myself a new bra and belt costume, it should be here this week sometime...also bought a beautiful new golden sword. When my children head back home on the 26th, I'm going out to buy fabric and beads...have a new costume project design in mind that will keep me busy and…

Hi MrsButler...have you thought about trying Bellydance...it is an ancient feminine artform...it is a total body workout that tones muscles and skin...and when dancing or practicing, it combines cardio as well...besides all of the wonderful things it does for your body, it is just so much fun...never feels like exercise…

Hi Everybody! Sparkles...are you still practicing yoga or concentrating on the pilates? I read that pilates evolved from yoga...I would imagine that you're combining the two...I love your new photo...you look great! Hey EM...would love to hear about your Yoga DVD! Sorry to hear about the weird back and leg pain...Nadirah…

Greetings! Just worked the Pure Tranquility DVD with Rainbeau Mars...it was sending down roots...stretching, opening up more space and releasing the negative...it is her pre-meditation opening...Like James Brown...I feel good!

Congrats on your progress EllaBella! It is so encouraging to hear!

Greetings Ladies! That hula hoop sounds fun! I agree with the advice to incorporate the knees into your crunches. Bellydance tones the muscles and the skin...when I 1st started dancing I had a saggy lower ab but not anymore...the results come pretty quickly as well. Here's one of the exercises we do to warm up for…
-
Sounds good to me Lavender! This thread is so encouraging!
-
No worries! I agree, workout on your own internal clock...I like to workout in the evenings as well! Stick with it...you'll get results...stressing over not working out in the mornings might be what's keeping you from realizing your results.

Greetings Kaitie! I'm sure you will find this site most helpful and enjoyable...the food dairy is the greatest tool...and the message boards are great...everyone is on the same team.

Bless your heart...I hope you aren't in alot of pain...take care so you can get back to 100% or more...everyone has given you some good ideas...the 1st thing that came to my mind was just picking out different body parts, flex/tighten the muscle for at least 10 seconds, release for a couple of seconds and repeat...this…
