Posted in: Blog Posts in Exercise
Not a big fan of this but Lean Cuisines are being recalled! They are being recalled for having plastic bits in them. They’ve already caused one injury and numerous complaints. This is pretty scary. Some times you can’t help but consume fast meals such as these, so I can’t bash. So watch out for the chicken meals listed bel...

Posted in: Blog Posts in Exercise
The last two exercise DVDs I did (reviews on that soon) involved some form of dancing and it made me realize that following it I was kind of slow. I’m not a dancer of any sort but it made me think about my hand eye coordination. Watching the instructor and following what she was doing wasn’t exactly the easiest thing. I wondered i...

Today I worked out and it seriously seemed like it’s been a while since the last time I did. Work has been overly busy (and still is), and I don’t know how I’ve been surviving, but I think the fact that exercising really does make me feel good after sitting all day trying to get things together for meetings and doing what is n...

I recently got a bunch of DVDs from Acacia Catalog to review and Hemalayaa’s Bollywood Booty was the first one I tried. I’ve always been a fan of Bollywood and Bhangra music so I knew that I would like this. The workout is pretty easy, but then again I’ve been doing Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred for a couple months now...

Sue C.
Posted in: Blog Posts in Exercise
I always wondered about whether it’s better to eat before I work out or after. I’ve done both before, and lately I’ve eaten dinner, waited for an hour, then did my workout. Usually afterwards I do not really feel so hungry which is good, since I figured taking in more food meant consuming more calories.Anyway today I worked out before I had my...

I was talking to a friend about the fact that when fighting a cold you’re better off just resting it out and drinking a lot of fluids, instead of taking a bunch of antibiotics and other medicine. I don’t know about you, but whenever I get a cold I always feel even worse after taking medicine. When I don’t take medicine, I usually get over a co...
