need suggestions for workout programs
Hi...I am looking for a new workout program to add to my collection. I have completed Insanity, Turbo Fire, and Slim in 6. I like the programs that have multiple dvd's so I don't get bored doing the same thing every day. Does anybody have any suggestions? I also run/lift weights twice a week.

any ex-alcoholics out there?
Right now in my life I have 2 super heavy drinkers. To the point of neglecting family and kids. True alcoholics, that lie, smell, act stupid, and pass out.

Do you have school age kids
I just wanted to say that I think if kids are going to have to take a gym class then they should be doing "real" exercise. Why put something like cup stacking during the physical fitness part of the day? I would like to see kids do more physical activities. Why not have them do a real workout geared towards their age…

running vs other cardio
