I don't like standing, with every exercise that requires me to bend over standing, I have to be so careful on how I arch my back. Kneeling on the bench to do triceps or bent overs is the same thing but I seem to have more control.


Bunny what are eccentric holds? cause I do think I have to switch to lower weights.

my calves are killing me like they did the very first time I posted on here LOL.

More shopping today, I love it!!! I love the malls at this time of the year.

"Sometimes I also like to go with a lighter weight & just lift & hold for a count of 1,2, or 3."

I guess I could also use the term static here... hold the weight at the top of the movement & slowly release without compromising form...

I sit on my coffee table and bend in half so I am looking at the floor and raise my arms... if that makes any sense. Should I stand and do them?

I think you are ok doing these seated, but like the others suggested I would just use lesser weight and have a slower more controlled movement or do the holds... I also always have to go with a lighter weight on these other wise my left shoulder starts acting up (lots of knots in there I think and they start grinding)

Yup, grinding doesn't sound good!

Finished my shopping, just two more gifts to buy tomorrow and go grocery shopping, then the fun begins, wrapping LOL.

My mom said to me today that I'd better start watching what I eat cause I am getting fat again. Not bitching, I told her I started doing cardio again, and I checked the scale today I am down 2 pounds from monday soo something is happening

Ask her to join you 'cause you need help with motivation, LOL. Maybe it'll help her, too.

I still have to buy some yoga tapes, Treil suggested some and I can't find any in the stores. Is pilates the same as yoga?

Only when you have time and if it works that would be AWESOME.

I am also going to try buy some billy banks tapes and see if that will be better for the back. I tried step aerobics a while back and the whole coordination thing was just bad, and I don't think that would help my back either.

One day I will be back at the gym, but for now I am going to try my hardest to do this at home.

I have a few taebo tapes - they are challenging. the boot camp dvd's are good - basic moves, lots of stretching before and after - and they are NOT easy. lolol

I have tried, it won't happen until she wants it, which will probably be never. But she does have a treadmill that she does walk on. Since her recent diagnoses I really think it would be beneficial, but again she has to want it. She is trying the atkins diet

The doctor is now sending her pamphlets on quiting smoking, but again, I don't think even with what she has been given she will quit.

Are they the billy ones, or different, I forgot today to get some DUUH (but with four kids to shop for in one day, I guess I can forgive myself LOL), tomorrow I must remember, I can't even stratch my back anymore, whats with that! LOL
