I was wondering if anyone here has home gym equipment. What do you think of those Total Gym type machines? I saw one at the Muscle Mag store near me and they looked pretty sturdy, there was even a platform to do hack squats on it. I was thinking because I can't afford a gym membership and I live...

VERY, VERY nice. You are now my new idol!!!! And just gave me a little more motivation to get myself in shape. Thank You!!:D

I have a Stamina 1720 I got off of ebay which ended up being the same one that Walmart sells. It's not as nice as a gym quality (obviously) but I'm on a limited budget and for the price I think it's a decent machine to supplement my cardio training. i've seen some really nice ones on ebay but...

I have come back with my tail between my legs... I was wondering if anyone out there could help me on a home workout schedule. I lost my job (where I was working out) so a gym membership is out of the question right now. I have SOME freeweights (dumbells) resist a bands, treadmill and eliptical...

Hi, I know I haven't been here in a LONG time but I just came back today and saw your post. I just got an eliptical machine from e-bay, it actually ended up being the same one that Walmart sells for around $150. I bought it to supplement my workouts with my treadmill. Mind you, it's not health...

THANX SPATS Spats, thanx for taking the time to reply I appreciate it!!If I can figure out how to post my pics I'll put 'em up, I don't have any of me right now but I do have my competition pics and the magazine cover I was on. Thanx for the inspiration, your pics are AWESOME!! especially your...

Spatts since I've been on this board I've noticed that you and I are similar in body types. I'm 5'10' (don't ask how much I weigh)I've seen the pictures you posted and it seems that we are close in size (I'm just carrying ALOT more BF) just wondering what your training routine looks like. How...

This is one great post!!! It's so nice to know I'm not the only one feeling "nutty" and "bitchy". I started getting really painful periods and very heavy bleeding a few years ago. I have been on so many different pills and they all seemed to either make my face break out horribly (even Ortho)...

:biggrin: I KNOW what you mean Spatts! i still can't go by a high school track without longing to pull out the ol' hurdles and runnin' a few. i still like to run bleacher stairs when possible (talk about tightening your ass!!) *sigh* I miss those days:(

Spatts: just high school, never got a chance to run in college. i'm from New England where they are real big on soccer and football, track and field is brushed off. We didn't even have a track!! i started when i was in 3rd grade we lived on the West Coast where track and field is king! i was in...

I did the 100m, 200m, 100m hurdles, 4x100 relay. Basically i could sprint like hell, but ask me to run a mile- forget it!!!!:spin:

OK so probably 150x's a day i get asked; "do you work out" by the inmates at the facility i work at (some of these guys would give a lot of us a run for our money) Now i usually hear the "nice ass" and the J.LO comparisons but this one was so funny I was:FRlol: this inmate says to me: "hey Ms...

Welcome! I'm a newbie also. There are some really knowledgable people posting here, i think we're going to like it!:D :newbie:

Kel, you're right about having time for a mocachino vs. protein, there's that "Swift kick in the Ass" i was looking for. As far as the work & water thing, i've had to bring it up to my Union. I even had a Dr.'s note (you believe we're dealing with adults here?) saying that i needed water 'cause...

Ok Kel, when my life revolved around the gym and bodybuilding it was easy for me to do what I had to do, i was in the gym all day training and teaching. I'd do cardio before i ate in the early am. My first meal would consist of oatmeal and egg whites, second meal usually a protein drink, third...
