I am not going(50 Posts)
NC for this as ds knows my usual name and sorry for it being overly long
I have 2 children dd 15, ds 12.
dd started making her grand plan when she was 7 and we worked back to which schools she needed to be in to stand a chance of getting where she wants to be. I organised her tutors, extra curricular activities and she worked hard, all the time with her eyes firmly set on where she was going.
ds also knows what he wants to do and I did the same for him. But that is where it all starts to break down. Before the 1st lesson he had with a teacher he darted to moan about how he did not want to go in, he moaned continuously for 2 terms before every activity, and all evening after each activity.
This is the sort of thing he supposedly wants to do and enjoys doing when he is in the classes but it was getting him in the classes and then the onslaught of moaning when he came out of the classes. consequently I cancelled all classes
Anyway come to the examination and he gets in 2 out of the 3 schools he applied for. He refuses to go to the 2 he got in and moans about not getting in the school he didn't get in.
So he ends up in the local comp which we had not visited or done any research on because I thought he was going to go to one of the schools he got offered a place in.
I end up pulling him out of after a term because of his constant moaning about how he was not going into school, how he hated it, how he had no friends and on my part because of them not actually doing any work and getting a break from the constant battles to get him to do anything.
I home schooled him for a 1 1/2 terms and did the rounds of all the schools in the area and even looked at some private schools, not that we can afford them.
At the start back after 1/2 term he started at a localish school that as he put it, if he had to go to one it was the best of a bad lot. It is I have told him a good school to get him back on track to go to the school he wants to go to in year 9.
I have had weeks of moaning stomping around, tears and tantrums about how he isn't going to school again and this morning I completely lost the plot and threatened him with boarding school because I and the rest of the family cannot stand the moaning anymore.
He even had the cheek to say how his sister is so lucky how she got to go to the school he wanted to go to. I did point out that had he not moaned so much and had applied himself to the lessons I had organised for him then he would, in all probability have got in. He moaned about how there was no tester days at the schools he got offered. I then had to point out there was a tester day and he refused to go.
I really don't know what to do with him as most of what he is moaning about is usual for any school. Yesterday he was going through his terrible day and went into great detail how a lesson he had consisted of him having to copy stuff down from the
Help please He comes out in less than 2 hours and I am sick of the constant moaning and battles for him to do anything..
Perhaps not particularly helpful but why are you being dictated to by a 12 yr old?
Is there more to this?
What kind of schools are they?
Has he just taken on too much?
It is fairly unusual for a 7 year old to be so single minded and determined about their education (isn't it?!) so perhaps he thought he had to do what his dsis had done?
Maybe give him half an hour to vent about his day then he has to tell you his favourite thing?
Don't pressure him about homework but make it VERY clear you will not make excuses for him with his teacher.
I am no expert so may be talking rubbish, but I do have a bit of an eyore ds myself and it is very wearing.
I am not being dictated to by a 12 year old hence the constant moaning crying tantrums because he isn't getting his own way.
They would stop I am sure in an instant if I said no you don't have to go to school any more. I will home school you, but I know down the line he will not get into the school that starts in year 9 and has the emphasis on a particular course he wants to do then the moaning will start again. I think he knows what he wants but just does not want to do anything about getting it.
I just need someone to tell me what to say to him that would make him understand that what I am 'making" him do is for his own good and not because I am the worst mother in the world.
Last night I tried to explain it was like going on holiday to Barbados. If you You have to get out of bed at 3am, travel in the cold weather to the airport, wait around for several hours then sit in a flying tin box for several more hours and at the end you get a fantastic holiday.
That when you see a pop star on tv plucking away at his guitar and having heaps of fun bouncing around the stage what you don't see is the hours and hours of boring practice, the seedy clubs and pubs most of them have played in and the sheer amount of work that has gone into getting them to that stage.
You took him out of school after only one term because of his moaning.
IMO you just tell him, you're going to school, that's the end of it. We've chosen x school together and now you have to knuckle down and get on with it, all this swapping and changing must be very unsettling.
As the poster above said, let him sound off for half an hour then get on with the day.
Sorry the whole thing sounds insane.
Who at 7 knows what they want for the rest of their life? and sticks with it? What if DD changes her mind at 17? (A neighbour's son wanted to be an Actor from 2, he worked as one until 18, then changed and went to Uni. I think he is now a financial advisor.)
You have two children - they will be very different.
You allowed your DS to turn down two good schools he could have gone to, and instead sent him to the local Comp which you hadn't even looked at?
I allow my DC some say in secondary schools - but nothing like that. You were lucky to get him into the local comp.
You then took him out when he moaned? And HE'd him for 1 1/2 terms. But you don't have a plan to HE long term.
I think you need to become a parent. Decide which is the best school, and send him there. Stop listening to his moaning. Tell him this is it and he will have to make the best of the school he is at. Plenty of people don't go to the ideal school - but do fine! (Eg. Read Vera Britten Testament of Youth, or listen to Sandy Toksvig on her schooldays or...)
He needs to take responsibility for his own future. Either he works and gets good grades or he doesn't and has to get whatever job he can. Ultimately it is his choice, but you need to stop chopping and changing - or expecting him to map out his whole future.
DD is very single minded. She already holds down 3 part time jobs. Her only time off are Friday night and Sunday after 2.30pm.
Ds wants to work in the same industry as dd but in a different field altogether and he would be excellent at it as it really is his passion but trying to making him see that he needs to buckle down and do his best at school. I am not asking for straight As just that he is happy to go to school and he makes the most of opportunities when they are presented to him.
The school he goes to is not the most academic school but it excels in a particular field that is why we chose it and so far he has been more than capable of doing the homework.
he doesn't know what field he wants to work in-he's 12!
and they are different people!
let him be a kid for gods sake! if i was 12 and someone was saying to me that i needed to do x y and z so i could be ...an accountant or something then i would moan too! let him go and enjoy learning for the sake of learning with no pressure and stop comparing him to his sister!
I'm with the previous posters that you have to stop projecting from your dd to your ds or he will always feel the runt of the litter and in the shadow of his driven sister. Y
ou also have to start treating him as the child he is and not as an equal. He's going to school, end of story. No more shifting and changing because clearly that's already made him quite unhappy.
Please just let him be 12!
Blimey, I'm in my 40s and still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. Imagine planning out your life aged 7! It's admirable, but not normal child behaviour.
My 7 year old wants to be a face painter. I bloody hope she changes her mind as she grows up because I don't see much future or earning capacity in that...
Well he is moaning because it works.
He didn't want to do the extra stuff you organised (fine imo), moaned, it stopped.
Didn't want to go to either of 2 perfectly good schools, moaned, didn't have to go.
Went to comp and didn't like it, moaned, didn't have to go.
Now at another school, moaning, hasn't worked yet but he has no reason to think that it won't based on past experiences so continues to moan.
He has too much power.
You've constantly given in to him in the past. He sounds a spoiled child. You need to get a Fri, pick the school YOU think is best and send him there. He's in for a shock when he realised the world doesn't revolve around him.
I took him out on my part because they were not doing anything. How would you feel about your child coming home after a term to find that the whole of the term had been taken with writing out the school rules and in maths they had only completed 1 page of an exercise book and that was the most they had done in any subject.
You can get places there because it is not that good. However it was where several of his primary school classmates went and I do know several of the girls and boys higher up the school who thought it was a great school. but they started under a previous HT.
Not too sure what is happening to it now.
Fri = grip.
Maybe you need to let him come in and vent and just let it wash over you. Perhaps with a non-committal 'oh well' thrown in.
Because if you're not changing his school again, that's all it is, a vent.
My kids know that I'll buy any school textbooks or equipment they need and they can download umpteen past papers and examiner's comments etc. But the bottom line is they have to do the homework and school work well.
Ultimately, the effort they make at school (or not) impacts on them and not me.
See, my dd has known what she wanted to do since aged 9 and now at 16 has worked very hard to get into the 6th form she wants, on the course that she wants, she has picked out her uni course etc etc
That is not usual. DS1 is 15 and has no clue what he wants to do.
you have turned down 2 perfectly good schools for no good reason, sent him to a comp that you knew nothing about, pulle dhim out of there, Home Ed for a bit, sent him back to school and now he wants what? Home Ed again?
Just pick a sodding school. Dont worry about his "chosen career"
Pick a school that suits the person he is, not the person you want him to be at some point in the future FFS
I took him out on my part because they were not doing anything. How would you feel about your child coming home after a term to find that the whole of the term had been taken with writing out the school rules and in maths they had only completed 1 page of an exercise book and that was the most they had done in any subject
I would think why on earth did I send my dc to a school I knew nothing about because an 11 year old decided not to go to 2 perfectly good schools tbh
If you are happy with the school he is in now then that's where he stays.
Tell him he has half an hour or whatever to moan, and breaches result in xyx.
If you don't want to take his ipad/xbox etc, get some earplugs.
I think I do listen to him much more than other parents. And I know it is probably guilt.
In year 1 I ignored him and sent him into school and didn't listen to his complaints about his teacher. I kept trying to appease him.
Another child and her mother came over one morning and the classmate told me what had been going on After a meeting with HT the teacher was sacked that day. After going through that experience I probably do listen to him more than other people
My son is nearly 12. He's going to the school we chose for him because we are his parents and he is too young to decide. He did v well and passed the exams for more than one secondary school but ultimately it is our decision.
There is no way I would respond to moaning. Surely you stamped that out when he was three with the message that moaning doesn't get you anywhere. It's hard work but my four year old already knows that she doesn't get her own way by moaning.
You have let him down I'm afraid.
It sounds as if there is an awful lot of pressure - planning out what you wnat to do aged 7, endless working towards it...you chop and change from one school to HOme Ed to the next school... I would guess he is ducking out in order to avoid the pressure.
Why would he not get into his school of choice in year 9 if you HE him?
I think you have been lulled into a unrealistic expectations because your dd is so single minded.
Most kids of this age are not so good at working now to fulfill a distant career goal, beyond, does this school do 3 sciences.
I think the mistake was not sending him to one of the 2 schools he got into. At that point I would have said choose A or B, by Friday and that's it.
My ds starts year 7 in Sept. It is not his preferred school. It is OUR preferred school. His preferred school is local sink comp where his friends are going. We said no. We have offered him the option that if he really hates it, he can apply to another school (not local comp) in year 8. But I know that once he gets there, makes friends and settles he will be fine. I know that because I am an adult and he isn't.
I do not think that most 11 year olds can possibly see the bigger picture. Some can. But it is unusual. Parents need to make decisions. There is lots of room for option a or b, or listening to their desires and input, but parents have to have a lot of input with the long term big picture.
It sounds as if you are on the one hand expecting him to make the decisions, but on the other hand jumping in and not letting him get the consequences of those decisions.
he may change his mind completely about his chosen career.
woman that situation in y1 sounds extreme but don't let it rule your life any more.
You are a good parent, trust yourself.
As I said, if you have no concerns about his current school then he stays.
So the question is, do you have concerns about his current school?
What field of work are we talking about?

Cost-effective Blast Cleaning
GMA Garnet™ abrasive is more cost-effective over other abrasives. Compare the cost of your abrasives by using the GMA Calculator or Contact Us to assist you in achieving quality results at lower costs.
Low Dusting
Blast cleaning using GMA Garnet™ provides significantly lower dust emissions due to its inherent material toughness and rapid settling (high specific gravity). This ensures minimum disruption and danger to adjoining operations and improves operator visibility and safety.
High Productivity
Very fast cutting is achieved with speed, large number and shape of grains impacting on the surface. The acceleration and speed of a grain in an air stream is a function of the inertia and hence the size of the grain. Smaller grains accelerate much more readily and impart higher impact energy to surfaces resulting in a superior cleaning rate – usually twice the m2/hr of conventional abrasives.
Low Consumption
The unique grain size enables many more active grains impacting the surface and greatly reduces abrasive consumption.
Superior Surface Quality
GMA Garnet™ grains clean deep into the cavities and pitted areas down to the bare metal, thoroughly removing all rust, soluble salts and other contaminations. The blasted surface is free of embedment and rogue peaks and troughs. SA3 White Metal is effortlessly achieved. A surface profile of 50 – 75 microns* is also easily achieved along with a much greater number of peaks per unit area.
Improved Health & Safety and the Environment
GMA Garnet™ is non-toxic with no silicosis hazard or risk of contamination from leachable heavy metals or radioactive substances. Disposal volumes are greatly reduced as a result of lower consumption and recyclability.
GMA Garnet™ is suitable for multiple usages and can be recycled 5 times or more* without losing its superior cutting ability. Special garnet recycling systems are available upon request. These add up to natural, clean and cost effective blasting.
*Depending on the application

Life has been busy.....summer is in full swing in my household! Good news - Trooper was adopted. And I'll admit that I miss the little guy. We're taking a foster break for a month or so because we are doing some dog sitting.
Here is a quick card that I made for Miss C*'s birthday. Her birthday was two weeks ago, but we had a family birthday party last night because my sister was in town with her family. So I *had* to make another card!! Stamps are from Purple Onion Designs. (Psssstttt......they are having a sale. Everything is 25% off until July 31.)
And now we're off to a Saturday morning soccer game....the last one of the season. Have a great day!

Sabrina Jenkins
Director of Special Events, Turner Field
It's no surprise that every baseball season Sabrina Jenkins can be found whooping it up in the stands at Turner Field. Jenkins, the director of special events for the Atlanta Braves has come to love the team like family after weaving her way up the corporate ranks for the past 15 years. What began as an internship in ticket sales has spiraled into the manifestation of Jenkin's ultimate destiny.
Heading up the special events team fulfills Jenkin's desire to get her hands wet in a plethora of activities. From corporate meetings to weddings, trade shows to luncheons Jenkins has acquired the skill set that allows her to successfully build lasting relationships that are beneficial for both the company and local businesses.
Jenkins is a member of the Turner Broadcasting supplier diversity task force, which works to ensure that vendor contracts are made available to a diverse group of businesses. "My big thing is partnerships," Jenkins says. "Partnerships go both ways in order for it to work. If I'm going to partner with a vendor, I want them to come out and have their holiday event here at the ball park or come out to a baseball game. Obviously in return, we do business with people who do business with us."
Jenkins has firm ideas on the qualities it takes to become a successful leader. "I think it's very important that you are open-minded," says the Tennessee native. "You should be willing to accept other people's opinions, their creativity and try to nurture that." -te-erika patterson

In CMonday, January 17th, 2011
A large portion of our 2011 show, especially the second half, revolves around the key of C. This is another subtle nod to our friend John, whose last name Seay is pronounced like the letter "C." When you hear the resolution after the pit feature and end of the show, it is, of course, a C.
There is a famous aleatoric piece of music titled "In C" by Terry Riley. While not part of the source music for our production, this video contains a performance of the piece that is interesting in its instrumentation, and visually reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens' art-doc The Brooklyn Queens Expressway – from which we took most of our source material.

The link to the abstract is below, and anyone interested in a reprint is welcome to email me for a download link. Nociception and the possibility that its presence might indicate pain sensations in cephalopods is becoming a topical area. As animal welfare laws slowly start to extend into invertebrates we hope this paper might be a valuable addition to that debate. http://jeb.biologists.org/content/214/19/3173.abstract

At first glance, one might think the Buccaneers defense had a bad day against the Panthers in Week 4. But take away a pick-6, two offensive turnovers from inside the Tampa Bay 30-yard line and a freak touchdown in the third quarter, and you'll realize the Bucs defense was actually pretty solid. That is, up until the end of the third quarter when all momentum was lost and Carolina took advantage. Find out how each defensive position group graded out according to PewterReport.com and share your thoughts.
Despite giving up 133 yards on the ground with 51 coming from Cam Newton, the defensive line did force a number of off-balance throws and force Newton to flee the pocket at critical moments. Leading the collapse of the pocket was Gerald McCoy and Will Gholston, who started in place of George Johnson at defensive end and had success using an inside move throughout the game. Based on his performance against the run on Sunday, Gholston, who also had a tipped pass, will probably remain the starter, as Johnson struggled to get off blocks, whether it was against a tackle or tight end. On the other end was Jacquies Smith, who also made some nice plays, particularly in the first half. Smith was able to get around the edge on two third-down attempts, forcing Newton to escape and eventually set up forth down. Smith also contained Newton in the pocket for McCoy to get his third sack of the season in the third quarter, proving to be the Bucs most solid edge rusher by far. Still, the defensive line was only able to get one sack and allowed too many five-yard-plus carries by Newton and Cameron Artis-Payne in the second half. Though, it's difficult not to when the Panthers have all the momentum to close out the game.
Linebackers typically go as the front four does, especially against the run. If the defensive line is able to get a solid push and stay in their gaps, the linebackers are usually able to hit theirs, too. Lavonte David, Kwon Alexander and Danny Lansanah each got five, four and three tackles on Sunday, most of which came in run pursuit. Of the three linebackers, Lansanah had the best performance. Along with a sack on third-and-goal in the fourth quarter, the eighth-year pro was responsible for forcing an off-target throw to Greg Olsen in the first series after flying past fullback Mike Tolbert to pressure Newton. While David was solid against the run and seemingly always there to assist a tackle, he missed a few plays in coverage, including a goal-line interception in the third quarter. After catching a break, the Panthers would score two plays later to make it 31-10. Missed opportunities here and there will kill a young team, and that's what happened Sunday.
Many might overlook the fact that the defense's worst let up happened on a play when Chris Conte jarred the ball loose from Jonathan Stewart before it bounced up and into the hands of Ed Dickson who ran it 57-yards for the score. It was just one those days for the secondary, who turned in a solid outing but just couldn't catch a break. Along with Conte, who led with eight tackles (one for a loss on a screen) and showed great speed in pursuit, Bradley McDougald also had a good game. The young safety was often tasked with single coverage against tight end Greg Olsen and held him to just two receptions for 28 yards. Making it even more impressive was the fact that Carolina had multiple red zone opportunities to go to their No. 1 target, but McDougald was in lockstep. Of course it wasn't all good. Mike Jenkins, who's gradually been replacing Alterraun Verner, surrendered two touchdowns to Ted Ginn Jr. in ugly fashion. Both TDs, an out-route in the first quarter and a cross in the third that seemed to mentally deflate the defense, were from inside the 15-yard line. A mistake we've seen all too often this season from numerous Bucs corners, Jenkins didn't re-route the receiver or press within five yards, leaving too much space for an easy touchdown. Even Ronde Barber sounded shocked while pointing out the "acres of room" given up in man coverage by Jenkins, saying "He was nowhere to be found." As far as Tim Jennings, the two-time Pro Bowler had a much better performance this week, with good coverage on Philly Brown, as well as the awareness play of the game when he jumped on a bouncing fumble on the first snap of the third quarter. All together, the Bucs secondary allowed 11 completions on 22 attempts for 124 yards. Aside from a couple mistakes – which twice resulted in touchdowns – they held their own pretty well.
On a day where Bobby Rainey ripped off two solid opening kick returns – back-to-back 30 yard-plus returns to the Bucs 40 – the Bucs performance on special teams in Week 4 will be remembered by two missed field goals and a PAT. After once again drilling his first attempt, a 42-yarder in the first quarter, Kyle Brindza followed up with two momentum killing misses. The first, a 29-yarder, bounced off the right upright after the Bucs offense put together an impressive drive to close out the half and the second, from 43-yards out, was after the defense recovered a fumble inside the 30-yard line during the opening third quarter series. Those types of misses reflect a team that finds ways to keep points off the board and hand momentum right back to their opponent.

I'd like to bounce Jenkins out of here with Brinzda.
On the first TD he was standing 7 yards back in the end zone on a 3rd and 6 then trips when the WR takes a quick out route.
Leonard Johnson is better than that.
I agree on CB Jenkins – rarely healthy and when he is, he's totally ineffective.
DE George Johnson is a wasted use of a 5th round pick. Lacks stamina and at best can only come off the bench in relief.
This is the last time I'm going to bring this up. The Bucs are either just not interested, the price is too high, or the guy has made it clear that he won't play for Lovie.
Pro Football Talk reports Bears OLB Willie Young requested a trade following the departure of Jared Allen last week.
Young was active and played snaps Week 4 against the Raiders after being a healthy scratch Week 3. Like Allen, Young has been miscast as a 3-4 outside linebacker, but he would be a great addition for a 4-3 team in need of pass rush help. Young is scheduled to make base salaries of $2.45 million this year and next.
I really can't see what Lovie sees in this Jenkins > Verner move…either Jenkins has photos or Verner is dating Lovie's daughter…
You're right. It makes no sense EastEndBoy. How bad must Verner be if Jenkins is beating him out? Last year Verner was touted as an All-pro.
Lovie prefers CBs that can't cover bc his system is that good. Who needs Revis when you've got Jennings/Verner/Jenkins for half the price!

For a hotel that has remained consistently popular over many years, Jakes in
Jamaica has rather impressively remained consistently affordable, too. One
of the music mogul Chris Blackwell's Island Outpost collection of hotels,
run by the Henzell family (the late Perry Henzell directed the cult classic
The Harder They Come), Jakes has 'cool' stamped all over it – and its
laidback rusticity, that so many hotels attempt to re-create, is genuine.
Situated in the sleepy fishing village of Treasure Beach on Jamaica's south
coast, Jakes has 31 thatched cottages and 29 rooms, all individually
decorated in bright Caribbean colours, overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Each
has a private outdoor space, and there are lots of hidden terraces and paths
weaving down to the beach.
Famous for its rum punch, Dougie's Bar attracts a good mix of guests and
locals, as does Jack Sprat's, which is right on the beach and celebrated for
homemade pizza and exquisitely fresh local fish. A recent addition is the
four-treatment room Driftwood Spa. Jake's also holds yoga retreats; the next
is February 27-March 6.
The details One-bedroom garden villas from £60 (00 1 876 965 3000; islandoutpost.com).

Hi everyone,
I had to post about a great restaurant that my hubby and I visit every chance we get. It's called Alexandra's and it has fantastic Italian food, e.g. (the fried Calamari is to die for) and the Veal Marsala is fantastic, the Gnocchi is out of this world, the Wood Fire Pizza is the best in Toronto, and the MUSIC (two wonderful gentlemen playing and singing all the oldies/goodies/etc.etc.) are the highlight of the night.
BUT,they do not have ONIONS if you want a Gibson martini!!! I told them I was going to bring my own!!! The owner (Alexandra - 8 yrs old) and her daddy and partner are the best. Forever sending out free desserts to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, etc. etc.
GO TO ALEXANDRA'S - It's on Eglinton, just west of Renforth. If you're coming from the East end, take the Carlingvie exit to Renforth, go down Renforth to Eglinton, and go in the entrance to Planet Bowl. Alexandra's is in that strip mall at the end of the Mall.
If you're coming from the West, take the Renforth Exit, and go S on Renforth 1/2 block to Eglington and then to the entrance of Planet Bowl. You won't be sorry you visited this restaurant and the prices are VERY reasonable.

Does Tanzanite Come In Other Colors?
1 comment:
- tanz said...
Tanzanite in any other colour save for brilliant violetish-blue somehow isn't Tanzanite. This relatively newcomer has quickly garnered the coveted position next to diamond as a must have. This is partially due to its scarcity and imminent depletion which has caused the value to soar manifold. In October 2002, the American Gem Trade Assoc further elevated its position by adopting Tanzanite as a December birthstone. It is indeed an honour as the last time the birthstone list was revised was in 1912. http://www.tanzanite-engagement-rings.org/tanzanite-jewelry

Shuford Jones: Editorial on Broun gets it wrong

Richard Zimdars: Broun should read court ruling
Currently, it is easier to get a gun than to get health insurance in the United States. Congressman Paul Broun's priorities, however, include support of a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

In this case, the Banner-Herald editorial board has taken a stance that is deplored by thousands of readers who are thoughtful and influential."

Editorial: Governor's race no place for 'magical thinking'
Magical thinking, the irrational belief that it's possible to bring a specific circumstance or event into reality by thinking hard enough about it or wishing for it, is endearing in preschool-age children, for whom it is normal. Such thinking, of course, is entirely out of place in the adult world - unless, apparently, the adults being referenced are Republican candidates for governor of Georgia.
Editorial: Clarke schools should think about stimulus
It's hard to fault Clarke County School District officials for laying out plans to use $6.4 million in federal economic stimulus funds earmarked to provide help to low-income children and students with disabilities in the 2009-10 school year. It's hard to imagine two student populations with more pressing and defensible needs in terms of staying in step with classmates.

The four course and three course menus provide plenty of nice options for anyone who loves good food, from the argula and truffle oil salad and gravlax and fennel salad to the goat cheese stuffed chicken braised and braised lamb we throughly enjoyed ourselves. The wine pairing was an nice touch too. You could probably skip the wine pairing to help reduce your cost to just under 150 (including tax and tip), but the wine selection was soo good and spot on that it was worth. Will likely return in the future to see what new additions they've made to the menu. Some snark at the truffle oil but I rather enjoyed it.

Duration: 40 minutes
Fitness Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Equipment: Any cardio machine or activity

Why It Works

This workout includes high impact, high-intensity exercises, done in a format designed to get you out of your comfort zone, burn more calories, and increase your anaerobic threshold.

In this workout, you'll be switching between 30, 60 and 90-second intervals with equal resting periods which means you'll work at three different levels of intensity:

Moderate Intensity: A moderate intensity is around a Level 6 on this perceived exertion scale.

High Intensity: You can't sustain this for long because you're well out of your comfort zone, around a Level 8 on the perceived exertion scale.

Very High Intensity: This is the shortest interval and the one that takes you to a Level 8-9, which should be in your anaerobic zone.

By focusing on all levels of intensity, you're training all of your body's energy systems for a comprehensive, calorie-burning workout.

Try It: 30-60-90 Interval Workout

Duration: 30-minutes
Fitness Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Equipment: A treadmill, elliptical, or a stationary bike

Why It Works

This series includes four different workouts that show you how to change the settings of some of the most common cardio machines so you get the most out of your workouts.

By changing your speed, resistance, and/or incline, you challenge your body and burn more calories.

How It Works

Workout 1: This treadmill workout has you increasing and decreasing your incline throughout the workout to help you burn more calories and stave off boredom.

Workout 2: This uses an elliptical trainer where you'll gradually up your resistance/ramps for 6-minute intervals, lowering them for 2 minutes, giving you a killer interval workout.

Workout 3: If you like the stationary bike, you'll spend 2 minutes increasing resistance, 2 minutes reducing resistance and then inserting 1 minute to really get your heart rate up.

Workout 4: Working out outside? Choose this workout and add some sprints to get your heart rate up.

Try It: Burn 300 Calories in 30 Minutes

Duration: 35-minutes
Fitness Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Equipment: A step or platform

Why It Works

This workout takes traditional interval training and turns up the heat by shortening the recovery intervals between exercises.

How It Works

High-intensity cardio exercises: The cardio moves range from long jumps to burpees and everywhere in between. Because the intensity is cumulative, you should feel breathless by the end of each circuit.

A very short recovery time: You do each high-intensity cardio exercise for 40 seconds, rest just 20 seconds. When you do all 4 exercises, that comes out to 4 minutes of work. You can stick with that, or repeat the circuit for a longer workout.

Activating your fat-burning hormones: Whenever you get into your anaerobic zone, meaning you're fighting for air, your body produces growth hormone and adrenaline. You burn more calories during the workout and you get a great afterburn.

With 4 total circuits, you'll burn tons of calories and you'll love the variety of the workout and the exercises.

Try It: 40-20 HIIT Circuit Workout

Duration: 40-minutes
Fitness Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Equipment: An elliptical machine

Why It Works

The elliptical can give you a great workout, but if you're staying at the same level of resistance the entire time, you're not doing your body any favors.

The best way to get more out of your workouts is to change your settings throughout the workout to work harder and push your body out of its comfort zone.

How It Works

Varying levels of intensity: During this workout, you'll increase and decrease your resistance levels, pushing you to work harder and then recover enough to get ready for the next push.

Varying intervals: Some intervals are 1 minute and some are 2 minutes and as the workout goes on, you'll find those rest periods aren't enough time to get your heart rate down.

Steady state intervals: To give you a break, there are steady state recovery intervals throughout the workout to help you catch your breath.

Try It: Elliptical Interval Workout

Duration: 64 minutes
Fitness Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Equipment: Any cardio machine

Why It Works

High-intensity workouts are great, but you want to work at different levels of intensity during the week. That's where this workout comes in.

This workout does include higher intensity intervals, but you'll stay in your aerobic zone, meaning you won't have to go breathless.

This makes the workout longer and a little more comfortable than the other higher intensity workouts.

How It Works

10 different intervals: Each interval is 4 minutes long.

Moderate intensity: For each 4-minute interval, you'll work just out of your comfort zone, around a Level 6 on this perceived exertion scale. You should be working hard, but be able to sustain this level for the full 4 minutes.

2-minute recovery: There are 2-minute recovery intervals in between each work set. Take the speed, resistance, and/or incline down to a comfortable place so you can fully recover.

As you get tired, you may need to slow down or lower your incline/resistance to maintain the suggested levels of exertion. It's normal for that to happen, so don't feel like you have to stay at the same level for every interval.

Try It: High-Intensity Aerobic Intervals

Duration: 35 minutes
Fitness Level: Advanced
Equipment: None

Why It Works

Tabata training is one of the best cardio workouts, taking you through very short, very intense intervals that only last 20 seconds. That doesn't sound like much, but put together 4 exercises with only 10 seconds of rest in between and you'll really feel this.

How It Works

4 Tabatas: There are 4 complete Tabata cycles, each with 4 different high intensity, high impact exercises.

4 minutes: You'll do each exercise for 20 seconds, rest for 10, and then move on to the next one. After completing the 4 exercises, you'll repeat them again for a total of 4 minutes.

10 second rests: You only have 10 seconds between exercises, which is not much at all. Take full advantage, but realize you probably won't be able to catch your breath in 10 seconds. That's how you burn calories and build endurance.

If you prefer lower impact exercises, check out these low impact cardio moves.

Try It: Tabata Cardio Workout

Duration: 30-minutes
Fitness Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Equipment: None

Why It Works

Outdoor workouts tend to revolve around a few basic activities: walking, running, and cycling. Those can all be effective calorie-burning exercises, but one way to ensure that is to try adding some intensity to your usual routine.

How It Works

Being outside challenges your body in a different way than machines do, so you're already increasing your calorie burn. What adds to that:

Steady state cardio: You'll walk or run for a period of time, keeping the intensity moderate and focusing on your aerobic zone.

Short bursts of speed or hills: Every so often, you'll pick up the pace or head up a hill (if you've got one nearby) to push yourself out of the aerobic zone.

High-intensity exercises: Finally, you'll stop during the workout for things like pushups, long jumps, and other high impact moves to take you even further out of your comfort zone.

Not only will you get a great workout, you'll have some fun by trying something totally different.

Try It: Outdoor Circuit Workout

Duration: Up to You
Fitness Level: Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced
Equipment: None

Why It Works

Sometimes, the best workout is the one you make up on the fly. Just doing anything different for your body can help you make changes and see better results from your workout.

Ideas for Your Workout

Choose your exercises: Go through these Cardio Exercises and pick 10 moves to try.

Warm up: Make sure to start with a 5-minute warm up before going into the higher intensity exercises.

Start your timer: The easiest way to do this kind of workout is to do the moves for a period of time, like 60 seconds.

Rest briefly between exercises and repeat all of them for a longer workout.

Feel free to mix and match your favorites for your own personalized workout. Don't forget to listen to your favorite music to kickstart your workout.
