Skip it if your skin is remotely sensitive. My skin isn't very sensitive, but I ended up with a rash.

I used something called the travel stick. It works on the same general concept as foam rolling. However, it much smaller. You can buy them from Amazon. Now that it's better, I stand on a slant board after my workouts to keep my calves loose. My boyfriend got the slant board for his plantar fasciitis.

My first hike of the season was slowed by hip pain. I would do running/walking uphill or step aerobics if you can't do hiking.

I love Jessica Smith's YouTube channel. I also have her Cardio Abs DVD. It's not just ab exercises, there is a kickboxing cardio and full-body strength segment. She is encouraging, but not so perky that you want to punch her. She has a great variety of workouts. I also like Kelly Coffey-Meyer's Muscle Definition and…

No, it's on my wish list. I love KCM Muscle Definition and Circuit Burn. I've only done Plateau Buster once, but I don't think I like it as well. It's nice to see that someone else knows that there are DVDs other than Jillian or Beachbody.

I have had good luck with the Bondi Bands. Well, except I never remember where I put them.
