pamela, you should video svanny giving you a lesson with blessi, like susan did with andi. that was very nice to be able to watch how different trainers do things. all we get to see are the pros on tv and almost none of us can afford that, so was nice to be able to see a "local" regional trainer work. abd we could steal tips from them like we do the ones on tv :) Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
