All of these exercises are included in their Total Body Glider workout, which is amazing!

11/3/2009 12:58:20 AM Report AbuseI agree with gaylajimenez, It is really frustrating to have to wait for the page to load to view each new exercise. It is too time consuming. Please do change it to a more user friendly format.
11/2/2009 11:22:01 PM Report AbuseDoes anyone read the comments that are submitted? I have read the same suggestion/complaint on several of your articles - but never any mention as to fixing it or reason its done as it is. Here it is one more time? Having to click on "next" to see each exercise is frustrating. Can't you show the entire workout on one page or allow us to scroll thru. Printing is too hard with how it is set up. It takes forever to review the article this way as well - HELP
