Not positive, Hilary, but pretty sure it's a women only fitness center where you are given a program using certain pieces of equipment. I think you Just do those exercises that have been authorized for you....something like that....my sister visited once and it sounded too "set" for me as I would want to do my "own" thing. BUT, I think it must work well for lots of folks cause they are popping up all over the place . . EVEN in ARKANSAS!(lol).

Thanks Tracy, Womens gyms are popping up here as well. I am a little like you though I prefer to do my own thing most of the time except for about two or three classes a week.

EVEN in ARKANSAS Tracy be thankful you only live in Arkansas. You have no idea what I had to put up with this weekend. Dh bought a Tennessee tuxedo (overalls) over there last month and WORE them on Sunday! with a checked shirt. He drove me to the shops and I told him NOT to get out of the car but he FOLLOWED me. How embarrassing! What was worse, the neighbours were all outside when we came home so he did a little jig to show them off!!!!The things we do! Hilary

WAY TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!

I've never heard of overalls being called Tennessee Tuxedo!! That's great!!

I bet that was a sight to see...him following you along in his overalls and checked shirt! Are you sure he didn't look cute? - - in a Jed Clampett (The Beverly Hillbillies) kind of way?????(vbeg)

I bet that was a sight to see. Cute doesn't quite cover it!! I think it was the white joggers that really set it off. It was sooo bad. You can take the man away from Arkansas but you can't take Arkansas away from the man! HA! Hey, for anyone out there from Arkansas, just kidding around here! Hil

Escapeology Seriously, I just love it. He has an earlier album, name escapes me but it is upstairs so I will get the exact name after the house wakes up. His song "Better Man" is just about the best thing I have ever heard. He has a new CD out this week. Glad you like it, I play his stuff really loud when home alone and that album you ordered has just gone to No.1 again in the UK I think. Hilary

~~~~TOO COOL!! If I like this one, which I'm sure I will, I'll probably be gobbling up all his CDs......I'm like that....I fell in love with this singer...Eros Ramazzotti after hearing a tune while in a cool garden-shop, and I ordered, and love, every one of his CDs. You just never know where you are going to hear something that speaks to you.
