yeah. i see my body as a machine that is one single device, not a collection of parts. whatever i do to one aspect will effect the whole, so i tend to do execises that include as much of the entire device as possible.soccer, bicyling, walking and even the gym execises tend to be ones that make as many muscles as possible work together.this approach freaks the "body-builders" out though, because

Dr.A - Indeed we can all fuss about our various body parts to the point of madness. It's a delicate balance. When you see the bigger picture of what exercise can bring, which is well beyond appearance, it's an amazing thing.

ricardo, you are right that looking good is a pleasurable thing.i tore my left bicep some years ago and had it repaired surgically, but it is noticably shorter now and that bothered me for some time (about fiteen seconds.) before i decided to focus on something else instead.......and so to change my whole idea of exercise and athletics...i picked different goals and looked for ways to attain

Dr.A - There is no doubt that training and training consistently is much better then training on again and off again. As for your ex wife, I can understand the bitterness. While there is nothing in our male universe that ever compares with pregnancy, we would not be happy if we lost our vigor at a rapid rate. This is why you see some older men trying to exert themselves beyond their means to

i will have to say that i`m somewhat fortunate that i have a body that responds well to training and that i haven`t spent years not training or not being careful about what i eat.i find it difficult to even discuss things like abs with most of my friends because they would have to diet for months if not years to see muscle in thier stomachs.....implants or not.but, having said all of that, my ex`

Dr.A - You do know that they have ab implants out now correct? While I find it silly, he can always do that if he wants them that bad. LOL! And I totally understand the your take on staying fit. I am of the same mindset. I do it more for me and as a way of staying healthy. It has done wonders in reducing my depression. Physically, I have become much stronger which is gratifying to see and

Dr. A: what you wrote about consumer and fragmentation is pretty freaky. But not, unfortunately, all that far-fetched: People sell physical "real estate" for marketing purposes!I am sure that I'm affected by all the marketing despite my efforts to avoid it all but it seems like so many people are open to letting others tell them who, how, and what to be.

ms.q, thanks for the kind words. i am grateful for knowing this real girl who happens to be more than the sum of her um, parts.the consumer society is so fragmented in it`s thinking that pretty soon boob jobs will be carrying logos to distinguish the cost of the work and the attendant status which such spending commands in a platic world.

i still miss my flat-chested girl. intensely sexy woman. regarding body image, a friend of mine has a girlfriend who is crazy for the "six-pack" to the point where she goes on about it so much it is pissing him off.he has choices. diet. ab work. get rid of the girl. continue to allow her to make him feel like shit, etc.the only real choice any of us have is to find happiness however we can....

Maritza - Stay tuned, my dear!!!Mleah - This interview is going to be the biggest and bestest EVER!!!MsQ - I LOVE this acronym you've come up with. Further proof that you have at least thought of this sisterhood. The rubbing of the belly is symbol and acknowledgement of your fertility. Your leadership implies that you may be a fertility goddess.

Inneresting.I deny all rumors that I have formed any type of group, much less a Secret Sisterhood.I also vehemently refute that if I were to form such a Sisterhood, that I'd name it NIPPLES. I mean, really.No Improving Perfection, Perfectly Lovely, Extremely Sexy.It makes no sense. Especially the rubbing my belly part. Why would I want women rubbing my belly?Men on the other hand...

MsQ- I'd also like to add that I think in order to get into the secret sisterhood, they must rub your belly. :-)

Lead a revolution? Eh! Really, the best thing is to for people to be healthy and comfortable in their own bodies. I am sure small breasts were in style at some point. No pun intended. That entire "Twiggy" thing was all waifs, right? Where the women had no hips, no breasts?Every so often I have this fantasy that in addition that in addition to reading, writing, and arithmetic, they would teach

MsQ- No, most men are going to want the whole package as you said. And small or large, if you don't wear a bra we men will notice like hawks. It's the nipples. And as for the matters of tans and body fat, you're spot on. Will the pendulum swing to small boobs? Will MsQ lead this revolution? You could very well be a trend setter. But seriously, these women do seem to be on a quest to

Enemy: hahaha! I never was into bras when I was younger. I'm flat chested so I thought, why bother? I'd wear tank tops and these spandex crossover things I just pulled over my head and I called them my "giant rubber bands." Plus, bras were always a big pain, I didn't have enough mass to keep the bra in place and the straps would keep sliding down. I called all the constant readjusting of the bra

Enemy - This is the thing, I don't think many of these women are doing it for men so much as a way to make themselves feel better. Granted I do believe that some married women on this site are getting that pressure but it seems like many of them are chasing some sort of fantasy. I can't put my finger on it.

Well, Ms Q (Ricardo, you will love this), when I lived in Spain then came back to this country, I had stopped wearing bras--sorry to give out too much info, but let's say I'm not flat chested. In Spain no one gave a damn, but here I got stared at, commented at-- finally I was told that I would regret it later in life. I've always hated bras and always will. So I compromised: I wear sports bras,
