I did it! Two fitness certs in two days.
And, boy, my body is not happy with me. :laugh: Yesterday, I became Zumba certified and today I, hopefully (pending test results), became Turbo Kick certified. It was a lot of fun and I met a ton of really great - and interesting - people. Now, I'm going to look into getting ACE or AFAA certified. I'm ready to get my…

I'm doing my Zumba Basics 1 training class on 10/7 (with Lindsay Taylor at the AAAI/ISMA One World Convention! - can you tell I'm excited by that? :laugh:). I would like to do the Turbo Kick Instructor Training (with Genelle Seward - I heard she's GREAT) the next day, 10/8, as well. My question is: do you think that would…

Suggestions for weightlifting gloves
I have a pair now that I bought many, MANY years ago and they're just not doing the job. It's been a bit of a struggle doing my program (CLX) because I'm more worried about losing my grip than I am on focusing on my form. So, any suggestions would be good. I'm looking for something that'll keep my hands dry with a decent…

How do you tell the difference between failure & fatigue?
I was wondering about this. How are you able to tell the difference? Is that you absolutely CANNOT lift anymore that you're in failure? Is it more of a mental thing? Can anyone easily explain this? Thanks!

Does choc soy milk have same effect as choc cow's milk?
I've read over and over that because of the combination of carbs and protein that chocolate milk is an awesome post-workout drink. I workout very early in the morning (4 a.m.) and have faithfully been drinking chocolate milk mixed with a scoop of whey protein powder post-workout. My issue is my body has become increasingly…

Well, I have come up with a way to slow myself down & decided to share. I eat with chopsticks. I have found that I don't nearly eat as much anymore. My…

Need suggestions for today's food intake
I've entered all the food that I have planned to eat for the day today and, as you can see, I am well below the 1,200 calories I should be taking in daily and my protein is a little on the light side as well. I usually don't have a problem with consuming my calories or my protein but for some reason today seems to be…

Another new person in the new year!
Hello all! My name is Celeste, but mainly go by Cee. I am 37 years old and a mother of four. I am, like many others (I'm sure) on this site, starting anew for the new year.
