My husband and I just joined a gym and are starting this afternoon. I have been to a gym before, a few years ago, and I am familiar with the equipment, but my husband is brand new. We joined a 24 hr gym locally (anytime fitness) that fits our schedule great. We are both EMTs. So I actually kinda have a 2 part question. What would be a good workout routine for us?

Part 1: Me. I know we would need 2 different routines, and we can help each other which is great. I am a bit overweight and am looking to lose weight and work on my upperbody strength. I know I will work out lower body as well, but those are my main goals. I was thinking of the elliptical (thats the one where ur kinda going upstairs and running at the same time right) but I don't know what settings and for how long or what my target heart rate should be. And then some of the other strength machines. But which ones?

Part 2: the harder part of the question, my husband. He is very overweight and has a foot issue. He could do the bike and some of the strength training. But there again, what settings and for how long?

I ask all this cause we can't afford a personal trainer and this community has helped with so much in other areas, so please help me again this time. Thanks!

Okay I own some horses that are in a pasture most of the time. I have one of those big metal round pool looking things thats like 2 1/2-3 ft deep and about 6-8 ft across (bought at tractor supply) in the field with them that I have a waterline ran to. Everyday when I go out to feed them I turn the spiket on and let it run into the trough for about 30 min while im feeding to freshen the water. The problem is it has turned green from alge. The horses still drink out of it but I don't like it. I don't want to 'treat' the water like I do my pool cause it is the horses drinking water. It would take a lot to clean it and having to drain it constantly would get expensive. A guy today told me to go get a couple of alge eaters and some goldfish and put them in there and that'll help. The alge eaters sound like a good idea but I don't understand why the goldfish?!? I have never owned fish before. Would this work? Can someone help me?

I had trouble conceiving when I was married b4. It took us 2 yrs. We were going through fertility counseling and they were fixing to start drug therapy but I got preg. And I had problems. I found out I have PCOS and a bicornet uterus. Had surgery at 4mon and a cyst and my dead right ovary was removed. During the therapy the tests were only showing my right ovary was ovulating. I was married and just happy to have one so I didn't worry about it. Well 2 years later, I was preg with my second completely by surprise. It went okay but I chose to have my tubes tied. Well since then I've been divorced and am now remarried to a man that doesn't have children. We've talked about it a lot and we really want to have another child. We don't have a lot of money and pay most all expenses out of pocket. I've been told that untying my tubes would be cheaper but I would only want one more and then have them tied back. Plus with the problems I had getting preg the first time and having lost an ovary and I'm almost 10 yrs older than the old tests now (im almost 29). We were thinking about IVT seeing as when I did ovulate and conceived I carried and didn't have any miscarriages. Which would you recommend and where can I get more information about it?

I haven't seen it all I remember was the trailers. I think it was based on true events im not sure but it was a horror about a family being tormented by ppl in masks i guess. Its not real old maybe a year or two

i love making candles and would like to make some in some liquor bottles but i need to cut the tops off. How do I do that?

My four yr old -i noticed today has a spot about 2 cm in diamater where he has lost most of the hair and it is kinda scaly a lot like dandruff looking spot but really bad. It kinda reminds me of cradle cap than i learned some about when i was preg w his older bro. I dont know what it is or how to treat it. I'd take him to the doc but in process of changing medicaid info in a diff county and therefore will not have insurance for a few more weeks am left with nothing. So does anyone know of what it might be? i hope its not life threating-if it is i will take that bill immediatly!!!- but i dont think it is --but what is it???? Its in a bit of a circurl and looks scaley there are a few strands of hair but most are missing Its at the front left of his scalp. I usually phisacally give the boys a bath by washing them and their hair but have tried to make the transtision to letting them do it and a now this what do i do??????

i recently became a stay at home mom and also have the means to buy reseach and cook healthier for the family. My husband and i are both overweight and wanting to lose some weight and our 2 young boys are healthy but want them to eat healthier.i've been trying to find a website that would help me plan a weeks worth of meals that is healthy and getting all the nutrients and vitamins we need and staying on a good calorie plan. The problem i am getting is the site hand you a meal plan and it tells you what to eat and at least one meal is something we wouldnt eat ex i hate oranges but i like other fruits. I know the obvious well sub for something else--but that changes the calories, vitamins ect so does any one know of a site that would be more of what i am looking for??

i need help deciding what i can cook for dinner for a family of 4payday is tomorrow and im broke and cant go to the store to buy nething so i have to use what i got which is canned tuna in water, 2 cups stuffing mix condiments and stuff like mac and chs boxed mash potatoes fresh potatoes milk can veggies(corn green beans and peas) flour and cornmeal i thought tuna patties or pasta but I DONT HAVE eggs, butter, oil, relish, pasta(except the box mac and chs) what would be good to make?

I really am at a loss of what to do. I have 2 boys my oldest will be 6yro mar 6 and my youngest just turned 4 jan 30th. I am having a big problem with my almost 6 yr old still wetting the bed at least 6 outta 7 nights a week where as my 4 yr old only has it happen at most 2xs a week. I feel like I have tried everything and dont know what to do. I have spanked him (and for those who dont believe in it i am from the south and thats how i was raised so plz dont even go there) i have put him in time out, i have taken away toys, tv ect. At night they both go to bed at 830 and arent allowed to have anything to drink after 7. I make them go to the bathroom right before bed and have even tried getting them up around 12 just to go to the bathroom. Last night i even went to the extreme. I didnt let my oldest have anything to drink from the time he got home from school until he went to bed except about 3oz of water at dinner, and yet he still wet the bed this morning. I dont know what to do HELP

its a fairly new song a guy sings it and its about a little boy coping his dad. I know one lyric is where the little boy says a four letter word and his dad wanted to know where he got that from and the chorus is where the son says he's been watching you and i wanna be just like you

My 5 yr old just started Kindergarden this year and has been sent home everyday with what they call sad notes-notes saying he has misbehaved that day. I talked with the teacher yesterday and she said he's a good kid and is very bright and he is ahead of most all the other kids in everything but he has a problem with constantly talking and playing and therefore doesn't finish his work. Both me and his daddy were said to to have ADD when we were kids but I know medicine has changed a lot since then i dont know if its even hereditary. Plus I had already asked his pediatrition cause we were having prblems in pre k but he said they dont even test till he's 7. What do I do?

Do you know to tip your bartender? I have been in the business for almost ten years and have seen and heard many amazing things We of course work for tips so we put up with drunkin attitudes rude people tear in the beer people all while continuing to smile and flirt. There are many nontippers out there and this is to you. When you go to the bar and order your drink remember what we have to put up with all nite and keep in mind we remember who tips and how much. When we are busy the ones who tip will get waited on first and they will get better and stronger drinks whereas the nontippers are gonna get crappy weak drinks. Show your bartender some love.
