Rowing -- Need gloves
Hi, I just purchased a concept 2 rowing machine and I LOVE it, BUT I'm starting to get calluses on my hands. Can anyone recommend a rowing glove -- fingered, no fingers? Do the gloves have to be specifically for rowing? Could it be any kind of athletic gloves? Thanks Melanie

no, really, you're pregnant.
Ok. I know I definitely need to lose weight, (I'm about 15 lbs overweight) but, seriously, what just happened pissed me off. I was down in the front office where I work turning in some work. Another co-worker runs into me (in my mind I refer to her as the Dipstick -- she's not too bright, but I still don't excuse her…

Taking those "before" pictures
Ok. So I've lost approx. 15 lbs since I restarted here after having my baby. I didn't take any before photos, but I always enjoy seeing everyone's before/after shots and find it very motivational. So I think it would help me "see" how far I've come. I took some photos last night but I deleted them b/c I was so horrified.…

Running in the morning
I'm a pretty new runner and grad of the C25k program. I've started running in the morning (5:30 a.m.!!!) I used to run at lunchtime, but it's just getting too warm outside and I'm not looking too fresh in my business suit for the afternoon with soggy hair. I've noticed that I am barely able to make it 30 minutes w/o…

getting myself to run faster
I have a problem. Here we go: I've noticed on a lot of the boards about running that people discuss "pushing yourself too hard." And we all discuss how we pay for it later with sore muscles, maybe even injuries. But my problem is the opposite. I don't think I push myself hard enough. I hold back in fear that I will be too…

Defeatist attitude
Hi, Everyone! Yesterday I started my Week 4 Day 1 run in my Couch to 5K program. I love the program. I've been looking forward to my jogging each day. They are always challenging but never have I wanted to quit as much as I did yesterday. Week 4 is the week I told myself that I'd purchase a new pair of running shoes if I…

Celbrity Desert Island 5
Ok. You're stuck on a desert island and you can only bring five people with you. No significant others allowed, sorry. What celebrities would you bring along to "keep you company"? Let's see, I'd bring 1. Ryan Reynolds 2. Paul Newman (circa Cool Hand Luke) 3. Joe Manganiello (plays Alcide from True Blood) Did ya see his…

Songs you secretly like
Sorry if this is a dupe thread.... but does anyone have any songs they secretly love but would be embarrassed if anyone knew it? I'll start out by saying I love most of the songs from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Rupaul's Supermodel and I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred. Anyone else have any guilty pleasures out there…

Does anyone else ...
Does anyone else look like they need medical attention when they work out or am I the only one? My head looks like it's going to explode I am so red. I actually had an instructor stop the class to see if I was going to keel over on the poor broad. I really am breathing, nothing labored, just have a really red, red face.…
