I need something different. I work as a waitress and I'm on my feet walking all day...I need something new and fresh...something that will help me kick FAT's BUTT!!! Any suggestions? A life unexamined is not worth living.

It's really the only exercise I actually like. It kicks my butt, but I work out a lot of stress by doing all the kicking and punching. I guess I like that it brings out my inner tough chick!

Everything hurt, including my neck muscles, I guess that means it's working huh. I usually do the treadmill and other weight bench things to the price is right. But lests face it everything gets old eventually.. I guess we need to train the mind to just do it and not think about it, Pat

The best part is that it is "the woman's dance" so 1) it works all the muscles from your ankles to your ribs, especailly the thighs, butt and stomach. 2) It is not meant for skinny girls, belly dancers are suppose to have flabby tummies and butts.

skrmr09 Joined: Oct 07 Posts: 9	quote Posted: 30 Oct 2007, 10:45 I bought the walk away the pounds set of mile 1, 2 and 3 that comes with a "stretchie band". Then I got so addicted I bought mile 4 as well. I absolutely love it and can do it everyday and never get bored. You are continually getting a good workout too because you are always changing what you are doing and using different muscles. I lost 35 lbs. last year and toned up a lot using it! I gained some back and am trying it again!

I have a hip hop dance one - I am NOT a dancer! And it's fun and you're concentrating so much on learning something new that you're not focused on when it's going to be over. I even did the DVD in front of my boyfriend the other night, which was funny because I kept laughing thinking of how silly I looked!

by member cpmodem Even though fat doesn't count in Atkins, it can cause you to gain or not lose weight if you consume too much. Be careful of over eating this nutrient. ie: cream, cream cheese. 28 Apr 13 for diet Atkins
