Which sport are you surprise is or isn't in the Olympics?
I'd definitely have to say I'm surprised equine vaulting is not in the Olympics yet....I mean it's doing gymnastics on a moving horse!!! How does that not make it up from the next level since it's already a world games sport. Yes it popular in mainly Europe, but it is catching on in the US. Ok how about you guys. What…

Upper body strength
I'm having trouble in this section now since I no longer work on farms. I ride still, somewhat....my butt is usually not in the saddle since I vault now. Vaulting is what some may call trick riding, but we do more gymnastics and dance than just out right stunts. So my question is what is the best exercises for upper body…

What's your favorite Workout?
Just wanted to have some fun and wanted to hear what others favorite workouts were and why? Mine would have to be vaulting. Equestrian vaulting challenges me on my balance and it is exciting to be doing gymnastic/dance while on the back of a moving horse! :D

Workouts to help out with Vaulting
Ok, so I am joining a vaulting team this winter. Not just any type of vaulting, I'm talking about Equestrian Vaulting. I have little to no gymnastics experience and am trying to gain flexibility. What type of workouts do most gymnasts/dancers do to stay limber? And what type of workouts are best to gain more upper body and…

A substitute for Soda
So has anyone else found a substitute for the soda craving? I haven't drank soda for over 7 months now. But have recently found a drink that reminds me of soda. Sparkling water, flavored. It's zero cal as well. But my question is...just how healthy is it? I'm sure if a person drank as much of it as they had soda in the…

All most 30 lbs down!!!
It's taken me this long to get so close!!! It's all worth it! I've almost reach 30 lbs. And in the last two months I've seen the fastest results with the change of my diet.

I feel like Supergirl!
Ok, I didn't think this belonged in the success stories section because I'm not done with my journey yet. I am long over the half way point. I've been working for over 8 months now losing weight. I've tried a lot of methods, but healthy eating was the best result for me. Lots of fruits and such. But I'm still going. I find…

The best feeling in the world!
The best feeling in the world is putting on those old jeans and having to wear the belt several holes tighter to wear them!:heart: I don't have enough money to go out and buy more clothes yet, but it makes me pleased to see the difference everyday. My work clothes hardly fit, and my tank tops for the spring are so baggy…

If you were a Superhero?
If you where a Superhero, what one power would you have? You can answer why if you want. I'm not 100% sure on this, but right now I'd say flight.

What you wear some find strange going into a store
I mean it's often in my town and probably a lot of others that athletes will go in to stores and people glance (football, volleyball, hockey players). But when I walk in dressed in breeches and maybe my pair of tall riding boots. Some look at me like I'm crazy. It's like they've never seen someone in riding gear before. XD…

So whether they maybe fake or living trees....How many of you have your Christmas trees still up?! My family still has their live tree still up! I'm just surprised how long it is lasting.

Belly Dancing and burning
I got together with some of my friends the other night and we talked about fitness. And one of my friends started up about belly dancing. Well, I'm gonna take it up.

How to get Best Body Fat % Measurement?
Ok, what I'd like to find out is...is there any other way to find out body fat percentage without a scale? I know there was one other with grabbing onto the bars of one device the athletic trainer used to have when involved in college sports. I just don't want to shovel out any money on a scale that would give a reading of…
