Question:
What are some easy and fast exercises I can do to lose a couple of pounds?
|

Leah123,
I don't have much time to work out during the day, so I've gotten a few DVD's that make working out simple because I can do them at home whenever I have time. They guide me through the workouts so it's very easy.
My personal favorite tapes are the Biggest Loser DVDs (Bob and Jillian will give you a great workout!!). The good thing about those ones too is that there are different work outs for different time frames. I can do a 15 minute ab workout, or an hour yoga workout depending on my day. Plus there are lots of DVD workouts to choose from, so you can have a variety of workouts!

There is also a DVD called "AM/PM Yoga" that only takes up 40 minutes of your day (20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening). I just started it about three weeks ago but it definitely helps focus your mind and clear your head while getting some good exercise in!

Question:
I just found out that my cholesterol is a lot worse than I thought based on how I stack up. My Dr. said that I maybe a Lipitor candidate last time I was there, but I hate the idea of it. Does anyone take it and are there side effects that should concern me?

My brother takes Lipitor-it's been in the market for some time now. He did experience headaches, but they weren't too often. I think the muscle aches is the one you have to worry about. Change of diet was the first step obviously for my brother-once that didn't work, it was nice that this option now exists.

My father changed his diet big time and he's been good. Eggbeaters baby!
|
| |
|
I don't have experience with Lipitor specifically, but I do take a statin. Whatever you do, recheck your lipids after a year or so. I discovered, after 2 years of taking simvistatin, and changing my diet, my cholesterol was actually higher. So, I was switched to a different one, and that seemed to work.
