  • "Heavy" means Heavy For YOU. If you cannot lift it over 8 - 10 times with Proper Form that is "Heavy" whether you are using Dumb Bells, Kettle Bells, or Weight Plates on a Bar. It doesn't matter if it is 25 pounds or 250 pounds.

  • 2 spinach ice cubes Spinach ice cubes -- I am a dunce and always forget about spinach when I buy it or it goes bad before I get to use it all. So when I want to add greens to my smoothies for the week, I prepare ahead of time by making spinach ice cubes. Just add spinach to your blender a handful or two at a time…

  • :drinker: Hubby got me a 14 Speed Oster Blender last night. The little 20 ounce Oster "My Blend" but it was way too small (in my opinion) for all the Spinach / Vegetable Smoothies I have been making. Plus, it just Quit on me when it was Not Very Old. :explode: :heart: He did get a 2 year Warranty with this one, so I hope I…

  • How cool is that! I thi.k Berrys of any kind are supposed to be good for you. Fresh off the tree and FREE is even Better!! Today's Smoothie: 1 Pkg Stir Fry Blend Veggies (Snow Peas, Broccoli, Carrots) 1 Pear 3/4 Cup (approx.) chopped Ice & Water Not TERRIFIC, but Not Terrible either. MUCH Better after I added the Pear.

  • I usually cut my Cardio down to just 10 - 15 minutes and I do it before I do the Strength Training. I don't know of any reason Not to do them on the same day. Always take at least One Rest Day between working the same Muscle / Machine. You could do different Muscles or different machines on consecutive days if you wanted…

    in Consecutive Log-in day count Comment by LJCannon June 2013
  • I think a lot depends on the brand, where you wear them, whether you have set the stride right, etc. But the main thing -- in My Opinion -- is that you use it consistently and try to improve the Number of steps you get each Day or Week. Even if it is not 100% accurate, it gives you an Idea of what you have accomplished.…
