  • Hydrow rower here. Just got my Hydrow in December and love it.
  • I've been using it for a few months, feel free to add me on myzone and here.
  • Hi! I'm 50, and I've been with MFP for a while. I've ridden horses almost all my life, and this past year I've been heavily into boxing (sort of MMA kickboxing, not cardio). I want to lose around 40 lbs. Please feel free to add me, especially if you're interested in the same sports, but even if you're not :smile: Also, my…
  • @luckypony71 that's my problem too. My belly messes everything up, lol. I like my tuffrider low rise ribb breeches. They are stretchy and forgiving. Very comfortable. I have about 10 pairs of breeches hanging in my closet and these are the ones I reach for every time. I should just pack away all the others but I won't…
  • I have a friend who lost lots of weight with the 5:2 diet. She's close to my age and she's been able to keep it off for years. She looks great, a real inspiration. So I'm trying that. You only eat 500 calories two days a week, the other 5 days you don't deny yourself, but you do try to keep it healthy and moderate.
  • @showjumper , ugh I know. There are a few still out there on clearance, at some of the online tack stores. I like them because of the rounded toe. They are so stinking comfortable.
  • @crimsongrey I think it's amazing that you're going to work for a trainer. I hope you share some stories with us when you get there, so I can live vicariously through you, lol.
  • @Mouse_Potato that is amazing, how long have you been doing the aerial work? I am pretty jealous right now, lol!
  • @showjumper no, I haven't but I will check it out, thanks!
  • Everyone's horses are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
  • I'm in a small town in western North Carolina. About 2 hours west of Asheville, and 2 hours west of Tryon. There is nothing here, horse related. There are some beautiful trails though. I have big plans to get a nice arena built, and set up a small jump field. I would love to have a CT here eventually; I would love to do a…
  • I'm an x-ray tech. There are a lot of medical people here! Since I've moved, I'm semi-retired and love it.
  • @tmcoyle I know what you mean! I used to do boot camp workout classes at the gym with the same instructor who teaches kickboxing. This was before I took KB classes, and I am super uncoordinated. So yes, I grazed my own chin a couple of times. Felt so silly, but I've come to realize no one is watching. Lol.
  • I love my Ariat winter boots, Brossards I think. Unfortunately I think they are discontinued, so I am looking for an extra pair to buy in case they disappear. I've heard Mountain Horse boots are really warm.
  • Wow! Beautiful horses! This is my paint Tyko, he's my bud. Back when we were both a little fitter. But I was still out of shape.
  • Kickboxing! Just started a few months ago but it's definitely my favorite. I also run on the treadmill with my Couch to 5K program that I never finish, I just start it over occasionally, after I miss too many days at the gym. I also love weightlifting and yoga. Well, I don't LOVE yoga, I get impatient. But I love how it…
  • @luckypony71 I just want to hug you, lol! I am the same way, very timid. The older we get, the less we bounce. I have been very lucky to find a few trainers who do not mind taking it slow and being very patient with me. In eventing, It's not unusual to find a trainer who only wants their students to move up quickly through…
  • Hi! It's so great to see riders close to my age here. I'll be 50 in a few months. I've been riding since I was about 10, stopping in my late teens and picking it back up in my 30s. I started out in hunters, but when I got back into it I switched to eventing. I struggled to overcome balance and strength issues, not just…
  • My horse and I both need to lose some weight. My short term goal is getting back on after a long hiatus.
