I finally had a hip replacement (anterior approach) two weeks ago and have made great progress. Just got checked off of PT yesterday and no longer need aids to walk, no walker, no cane! Thi...

Now sure where to post this...but, thought I'd give it a shot here. Is anyone familiar with the Tony Horton P90X fitness system? I was considering increasing my fitness level using the C-2 AND training with the P90X. I understand its pretty extreme buy you can, of course, modify it. If any C-2 rower...

One accessory I have found to be invaluable for my lower back is the shox-box you can find it at www.shoxbox.biz Take a look, it might be something that c...
