Girls Only

If you are not a girl, and/or don't have that friend that visits every 28 days, give or take, skip this post! This information is from one sister to another.

Otherwise, I simply must include a rave recommendation for this product/concept. The brand of this product is less relevant.

I say only, don't mock "it" til you've read the reviews. Then tried it. And then, if you don't love it, talk to me. I'd be interested in your story. The only feedback I've ever heard is, "Why didn't I know about this earlier?" The details aren't tidy, but then again our "once a month" friend never was. And trust me. This makes it all about as painless as is possible.

Top 10 Reasons You Should Leave FB now!

I read this article recommended by my friend PW, and had to chuckle at myself. I began considering my own loyalty to facebook. Would I, too, leave FB for any of the author's "Top 10 Reasons" that he suggests?

The article is written with some hype, unfounded conjecture, and spook. I also see validity in some the author's assertions.

I hate that FB is taking over the online universe. Or Google/Microsoft/Apple, or any other incredibly huge force that seems to squash challengers just for the trying (!). True, huge forces bring incredible progress, but I sit somewhat uncomfortably until they are displaced (remember that one phenomenon called MySpace, as the author points out?).

Only time will tell.

Fat loss interval training

Right on to Mr. Ballantyne explaining interval training very clearly. My experience confirms every word he's saying. It takes a fair amount of discipline, but interval training has provided and enabled the most rewarding physical experiences in my life (ie thinking marathon training here).

And the side benefit was that it got me in the best shape of my life.

Can you tell I'm rearing up to jump on the bandwagon?

Yoga

And here's a great site for streaming yoga workouts.

They have a paid subscription, but I've linked directly to the free-workout-of-the-week page.

Great online workout resources

This is a lovely little find:

Not just the Red Carpet Arms workout, but the whole site.

Exercisetv.tv? Most excellent.

PS:
Dear Netflix,

Your recent deletion of the very best workout videos from your streaming movie collection is incredibly disappointing. Your current movies are L.A.M.E. Please bring them back. And please update with some from this decade. Not dissing the 2004 collection. Fresh is nice. Just sayin'.
