Re: What is the best way for someone to learn how to swim? Should you take lessons or just "jump in" and start paddling?

Thanks Jinja. My wife and daughter have been "paddling" along on their own and are starting to get better at swimming everyday. I just didn't see the need to invest in "swimming classes" since they were making good progress.

Re: Rules of the gym

If more women would share I have no objections! Seriously though, I may be selfish but I like the gym to myself. Having so many people in the gym really distracts me. I llike working out when it is not peak hour (8:00-9:30 PM). This way I get everything I need to do done without having to wait around or feel choked to death by all the people in the vicinity.

Re: Losing Weight...?

Somehow that seems pretty yucky? Were they chocolate covered insects? Hardly see how you could lose weight if they were. Were they "cream" filled?

Re: Anyone have a killer ab workout that helps you to lose your gut and those love handles?

Thanks for the tip! I always thought that doing sit ups/crunches would fix the problem but I have been doing them for so long now and not seeing any results. Can you recommend any resources for "Do at Home Pilates" or do you need to take a class to have access to the Pilates equipment?

Re: When did Soda Become Our Water?

guest — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 23:55:28 GMT

Soda is so very addictive. It can also de-hydrate you (that is what I have heard). If your any kind of athlete you should stay away from Soda. I used to drink alot of Soda (may 4-5 cans of Coke) a day and since I have stopped (I've been diluting my Gatorade with water) I've been losing more weight and actually feel better throughout the day. Every once in a while I will like to have some Soda but cutting down on it significantly really helped me to feel more athletic. I also agree that I only used to drink soda. I very rarely drank water at all. This went on for about 1 1/2 years.

If you have a great ab workout that you do can you share? Anything to lose that gut and those love handles (some of us have more then we want).

What is the best way for someone to learn how to swim? Should you take lessons or just "jump in" and start paddling?

I'm looking for infomation on how to learn how to swim. Would lessons be the way to go or should you just jump in the pool and try to swim in the shallow end by doggy paddling? Thoughts, comments?
