  • Start with lots of produce...I spend a lot of time in that section of my store. Salad is a staple in my house, lol. A typical one has romaine, green onion, tomato, cucumber, red bell pepper, radishes, parsley, celery and carrots. Add some fresh fruit; apples, grapes, melons etc. Then hit the meat counter for some chicken,…

  • I had been taking the Turbo Kick classes at the gym up until recently. The level that the classes are at more closely resemble the Fire than the Jam. However, my knees were calling me dirty names by the end of the work outs, lol. I love the results I am getting from TJ, and I am finding everything else I try does not seem…

  • Truly, it is nice to have Netflix, though I do 'streaming only' so it is a bit limited. I like the Kickbox Bootcamp, it really helped me with my form! I do have the 'Fat Blasting Dance Mix' in queue...I will give it a try tomorrow! Thanks for the tip on the website!

  • Okay, so the cardio salsa on Netflix was not intense enough. Turned it off after ten minutes or so and did Turbo Jam instead. I think I will look into an actual Zumba dvd, as when I took the actual class it was much more of a workout than any of the 'dance' type look-a-likes I have found so far. Also, because I keep going…

  • You might start with the Kneeling Side Plank - this video gives a great example/explanation http://www.ehow.com/video_4946828_yoga-kneeling-side-plank-pose.html
    in Side plank - can it be modified? Comment by mspix July 2011
  • Yes, the Cardio Salsa is a Crunch production. Tomorrow will be my first run at it, I will let you know what I think. I am hoping I like it, I love Zumba! Looks like a good workout line up for you this week! I have looked at Hip Hop Abs, it looks like a fun one, do you enjoy it?

  • I am sorry your experience wasn't as good as it should be. A good 'leader' would never be impatient, but instead help you find the modifications you need in order to eventually attain success in each pose. I hope you are able to give it another try sometime, and that you have better luck in instructors.

  • Hi! Piloxing: It is a combination boxing/pilates workout. Not as intense as Turbo, but works different areas. It is a good workout! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pSDFU5oREM Booty Barre: This one is a ballet/pilates type workout, based on using the barre. I have only done this once, I found it to be more challenging than…

  • My understanding is that artificial sweeteners can actually increase your cravings for sweets, or unhealthy carbs. That is what can cause the weight gain, not the sweeteners themselves. Personally, I have not found that to be so, but I do try to limit the amount of foods/beverages that contain artificial sweeteners, I…

I used to be able to drop weight fairly quickly by diet alone. Not so any longer. If I don't burn at least 2000 calories a week, the scales don't budge :grumble: That being said, if I…
