  • Hummus is a middle-eastern food composed of chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, and tahini, a paste similar in texture to peanut butter that is made from sesame seeds. Hummus is typically eaten with pita or other flat bread. I happen to love it now, but it took me a while...and it is not as smooth as peanut butter. I love…

  • Hang in there..I broke my foot at the beginning of the summer last year...so, I did a lot of recumbent biking..had to give up spinning for a few weeks, as well as walking our dog, etc. I also did some exercise tapes sitting down, so at least I got cardio and really focused on my upper body.... Listen to your body, you…
  • I have his boot camp videos.. He is the only one I have been able to do for years, I used to have the VHS tapes, but now have his DVD's. His boot camp kick butt... I have a Favorite moves DVD, which is not as hard...but not quite a beginner level, but easier moves. I love him, but you do need to be careful with your form…

  • Welcome. I am a newbie too, and my issue is not exercising...it is chocolate and sweets. For me, having to account for what I eat hopefully, will be the kick in the butt I need...and diverisifying my workouts.. to lose the 13-15 pounds I want to... Yesterday, we went to Rio Grand, I had one swirl frozen margarita, some…
  • It happens to me after about 15 - 20 minutes on the elliptical. I just wiggle my toes, or move my feet extra..and it goes away. I am glad I am not the only one who this happens to..
  • Wow, you have had a tough time with your ankle. I broke mine two years ago (7-22-07) (tri mal fracture) needed surgery, 2 plates, about 7 screws..and have healed fine. It was about 18 months before I felt truly healed, then a few months later I slip on a curb and break my toe.. The only time my ankle is irritating is when…
  • It depends on what toe and where you broke it. I broke my baby toe, but it was half way up my foot, (the long part of the toe bone) but be careful, because while it seems not too serious, you can injure other parts, knees, ankles, etc. because you are not walking properly. I did the recumbent bike during that time, still…
  • I was thinking about taking a class..but I am not the most coordinated dancer. Are the moves really complex? I know it would depend on the instructor..but it seems fun... based on what I have read here. My gym offers it 4 nights a week... I do spin one night, but might need to try it..

  • Thanks for the replies.. I actually work out a lot, and clothes fit much better, but I get frustrated with the scale, and I know I should not, because losing inches can be harder, because you are firming up.. I do a one hour spin class at least twice a week, and the other days I do an eliptical for at least 30 minutes,…
