Even if you're only lifting weights or doing body resistance exercises, you should still cool down. A great cool down for your lifting days is stretching the worked muscles for five minutes. Then using a
foam roller over the worked body parts for another five minutes.

I just came across the
BodyBolster. It's a
foam roller,
gym ball, and
Pilates reformer all rolled into one.
It can be used with your exercise routine, to rehabilitate injuries, or for workplace health.

Do you run? Do you sit? Do you bike?

I have had lots of requests for thigh trimming exercises and I know a thing or two about bulky thighs - having speed skater thighs myself. A lot of factors are at play when it comes to body shape. There is genetics - when I look at the legs of all my female relatives and see many "speed skaters."

You've seen them at the gym - the simple cylinders, about 3 feet long. You've seen white ones. You've seen blue ones.
