Improving Knee Strength
I’ve been having awful pain in my left knee and my doctor has informed me that I have joint space narrowing.

New Equipment at the Gym...what is it?

If you keep your strides short, then its more of a stair master motion, but if you lengthen your stride then its more of an elliptical motion. Does anyone…

Medditeranean Crusie! Need Help!

Vance and I have been talking about doing a cruise like that for probably 2 years. I would LOVE to go! BUT.... I have fallen off my diet/exercise plan and can't seem to pick…
