Exercise & Nutrition

Escape Your Shape

24 years ago

Has anyone heard of this program? I saw an infomercial on it this morning and it made some sense. Each body type has different needs when it comes to exercising. Some need more aerobic, some more weight training, etc. Anyway, I was wondering if it was any good or worth the money. I need something to boost the treadmill and weights I already do-am I doing the right stuff, basically?

Thanks in advance!

I have the book, and i just got the informercial program(5 min ago!) both sets on ebay for a really good price! It sounds really good, but I am not going to be a contributing member, so you can email me with any questions. The book would be at your library or at a bookstore! I hope this helps

Carolinachick ~~ Coincidently, I was just reading some articles about it on Ivillage.com. I'm not sure exactly how I got to them, but I'm sure if you looked around some (under Diet and Fitness, that much I know for sure), you could find them.

As it turns out, most of the weight training exercises I do with my personal trainer are "no-no"s for my shape. Something for me to consider tomorrow at the gym....

Good luck,

May I see your kitchen table in U shaped kitchen?

Thanks, I was thinking oval or round. Behind the table is 1/2 a wall which goes to ceiling, the rest is entrance to DR. Next to refrigerator is entrance to laundry/mud room, next to that is entrance to den. One more question: do you think I can use the oak chairs? They are comfortable, I would change the seats. I'm thinking of having a round table made up with an oak base with a formica top (Besalt Slate?) or something similar. Thanks in advance for your help!

Do You Love Your D SHAPED Sink?

Buehl, Studioren said a corner cabinet, so the S405 won't fit. However, I do not see why she has to go as small as 21". We fit the 30"-wide (exterior dimension) Blanco Diamondprecis silgranit sinto into our corner location. We did notch the sides of the cabinet to get it to fit. BTW, love my sink and love the corner location! But I'm in the "rectangular sink camp" and Studioren asked about a D-shape sink in a corner, but I think her question centers more about the corner factor. Really, I think 21" is too small. I suggest that Studioren post a new thread, entitled something like "What is the biggest sink to fit in a 36" CORNER cabinet?", rather than tack onto this thread which is solely about pros and cons of D-shape sinks.

Attention all, who is in process of choosing a kitchen-fitting company, based in London. Don't use company called Shaping Homes! They have developed a certain strategy of fooling people: they send designer, then ask for substantial amount of money as a deposit, promising to refund in 5 days in case of cancellation, then... just keep promising refund, lie about electronic transfers and posted checks endlessly. Please share this message around, may be this will save people from fraudulent activity of this nasty liers.

Yes, I recommend following the tape when you work out. It goes really quick and you move around to different things every five minutes so not boring. Only thing is you need a treadmill for it to really work. My kit came with weights and a bar.He is very motivating and tells you exactly what to do for your body type.I used to use a stepper alot and realized that for my shape,I should have been walking more and without incline.If you carry weight on your bottom half, you should do aerobic for it, not muscle building. Also came with a dress for your shape video which was good. If anyone does this, want to start a chat group... ???
